Mia's Story

MEET MIA<br/>Hi my name is MIA! I am a 2 yr old terrier mix, spayed female, approximately 30 lbs. I was scared and out running on the streets of Oakley when I saw a nice lady with a dog and I got up the courage to stop and say hi. They brought me to the shelter in case my owners were looking for me, but no one came for me. I stayed at the shelter for almost a month and was so scared that I found myself on the euthanasia list. It took a lot of treats and a little time before my new friends were able to pet me. Luckily, they got me out of the shelter with no time to spare! Once I got settled into my foster home, I found confidence from the other dogs there and started my healing journey. I may take a little time to warm up and trust my new human(s) but once I do, I bond deeply to my people. I love women and children, but if there is a man in the home he needs to be patient with me. I am not mean, just scared. I am pure sweetness. I am house trained, working on my leash skills to build confidence, and wonderful with children over 8. I live with cats but would rather not have any in my forever home. My favorite place is on your lap or in my fluffy dog bed with a chew toy. Chasing the water from the hose is one of my favorite games… especially on hot days, it’s fun to get wet! I have come such a long way and look forward to finding my forever family. I really enjoy the company of other dogs and prefer gentle, calm dogs that are confident. I am crate trained but also will sleep quietly on a dog bed in your room. <br/>My adoption fee is $300 which includes current health examination, current vaccinations, spay, microchip, flea and deworming treatment, along with any other medical or dental, deemed necessary by our veterinarian

Rhodie's Rescue's Adoption Policy

WE DO NOT DO LONG DISTANCE (SOUTH CALIF) OR OUT OF STATE ADOPTIONS You must be 21 years or older to adopt. Please bring a valid form of I.D. All members of the family must be present in order to adopt. We want to make sure it's a good fit for everyone! Applications must be completed and approved for each dog prior to adopting. We do not adopt our dogs on a “first come, first serve” basis. We place our dogs with the best matched family according to their specific needs and personalities. You must provide pictures of your backyard (including fences, gates and latches) along with the areas will the dog will eat and sleep. Some dogs may require a home visit prior to adoption. If you are planning on adopting a dog and already have an existing dog, we ask that you leave them at home when attending our adoption event. Once you're application has been approved to adopt a specific dog, you can schedule an appointment for a meet and greet at your home with your potential new pet. Renters must provide a copy of their lease (including pet policy) and duration of lease. Homeowners should know if their home insurance policy has breed restrictions/exclusions, and be familiar with any HOA by-laws regarding dogs. Townhome/Condominium owners should be familiar with their HOA by-laws, including restricted breeds, weight limits, and maximum number of pets allowed. All dogs will be spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped prior to adoption. We make our best effort to treat any medical conditions deemed necessary, unless it is out of our financial reach or not in the best interest of the dog at the time. At which point we will disclose and discuss any known medical issues or conditions that will need to be addressed with the potential adopter prior to adoption. Most of our dogs are rescued from shelters or neglectful situations and we have either limited or no knowledge of their health background or behavioral background. Although we have our dogs checked by veterinarians, and we do our best to evaluate and determine any behavioral issues, we cannot guarantee the dog you adopt will be free of any current or future health or behavioral problems. Adopters must be willing to allow a Rhodie’s representative to make a follow-up contact, either in person or by phone. If at any time you are unable to keep the pet or offer it proper care, it must be offered back to Rhodie’s before alternate arrangements are made. If approved, an applicant must sign a contract to adopt a dog which outlines the responsibilities of the rescue and the adopter. This contract is legally binding. If any information provided by the adopter is found to be false, misleading or purposefully omitted, on either the application or during interview with Rhodie’s Representatives, will be cause for denial of adoption and/or removal of the dog from your home, regardless of when or how the information was discovered.
