Minnow's Story

Minnow's summary:<br/>-. Lab/Amstaff mix, 55 pounds, 2-3 years old.<br/>-. Great on walks, hikes, loves chase, & toys.<br/>-. Can stay home alone for a standard work day. <br/>- Goofy, happy, cuddly. <br/>_good with dogs, chases cats<br/>-lives with women, will warm up to a gentle, patient guy without trouble. <br/>-meets new people well.<br/><br/>The long hand version: <br/><br/>Minnow is a goofy, happy and cuddly 3 year old, 55 pound Lab/Am Staff mix that loves life and her people. <br/><br/>Whether it is taking a walk, a hike, playing with her toys, playing fetch, or lounging, she does it all. She is a medium energy gal who gets the zoomies at walk time, and then relaxes on the couch or cuddles, after. . She is easy to train and knows many training cues. <br/><br/>Minnow meets new people well. She is less accustomed to men than woman, so we seek a home that does have a woman and if there is a man, a guy who will let her take her time to warm up. Thus far, she meets new people very well.<br/><br/>She currently lives in an apartment, and receives two short 15" walks plus 1 45" walk, hikes/longer walks on weekdays. We will be seeking a home with a yard, but it is a testament to her calm personality that she lives so well in an apartment. <br/><br/>This good girl gets along with other dogs but has not been able to entirely stop chasing the cat in her home, so no cats.. She has not been around children and we have no way to test, so we seek a home with adults, and teens who are calm and gentle will be fine. <br/><br/>Minnow is spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. She comes with her leash, collar, harness, rain coat, food dish and mat, dog bed, kong, stuffies, lick mat, treats, small amount of remaining food, dog shampoo and nail clipper. Her adoption fee is $250. <br/><br/>She has has sometimes gotten car sick and sometimes not on loner drives. She did a drive to the beach without issue. We can help with ideas on how to hopefully eliminate car sickness via behvioral means or meds..<br/><br/>A great home for Minnow and her must haves include: <br/><br/>1. An owned home with a securely fenced yard.<br/>2. Dog savvy adopters who have plenty of time to spend with their pet. <br/>3. Folks who will give this girl all of the love, warmth, good quality care and food that she deserves. <br/>4. Adopters who will include her in their fun activities. <br/><br/>Minnow would love to start the new year in her forever home, so if you are interested, run don't walk, to inquire or apply!<br/><br/>To Inquire: please send an email to: awoofovermyhead@gmail.com.

A Woof Over My Head's Adoption Policy
Interested folks email us, telling us a bit about yourself and how the dog will fit into your life. Ideally, please leave a phone number and email. We will get in touch with you, either to chat first, or to send an application. If your application looks great, we'll check in, and your references are called. If it seems a great match, a meet is arranged, usually at potential adopters home/yard to allow for home inspection (home inspection via video of public areas of your home during Covid-19). Adoptions that are a match often, but not always, happen at the meet: the adoption contract is discussed, signed and the adoption donation is paid. You will receive records via email and usually, a set of "operating instructions" specific to the dog you have adopted. Each dog is sent off with a harness or martingale collar and enough food to get started. You supply an ID tag with one or two phone numbers, and a non-retractable leash. We check in several times after adoption, and we are always available for questions or updates and photos!
