Poet's Story

Poet is a sweet and gentle little fellow. He loves his walks, a tasty snack and a comfortable lap. He'll be a wonderful companion for someone wanting a low maintenance dog, because he weighs only 16 pounds, is very friendly with other dogs and he is not high energy. He seems indifferent to cats. Poet takes life in stride and was a very good patient when he went to the vet.<br/><br/>We think Poet is a Beagle/Chihuahua cross and the vet estimated him to be around 5 years old. He was very thin and flea bitten when we took him from the shelter, so indications are that he was not well cared for in his prior home. However, he has gained weight quickly and is a healthy boy.<br/><br/>Poet is neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, fully vaccinated and ready to find the wonderful home that he deserves.

Red Barn Rescue's Adoption Policy

All dogs in our care are spayed/neutered, microchipped, vaccinated (including Rabies when age-appropriate), heartworm tested, and kept on heartworm, flea, and tick preventatives. Many dogs also receive dental care, heartworm treatment, or other medical procedures as needed. Prospective adopters must complete an adoption application and receive approval before meeting a dog. Applicants must list all current pets, and those pets must be spayed/neutered, current on vaccinations, and on heartworm prevention. A home visit may be required as part of our approval process. Once approved, we will schedule a meet-and-greet with your family, including current dogs. Adopters are responsible for ongoing veterinary care, keeping their pets up to date on vaccines and preventatives, and maintaining a safe, responsible home. If you are looking for a specific type or breed, you may submit an application and note your preferences for future consideration. Our adoption fee reflects the medical care and resources invested in preparing each dog for a healthy start. If an adopter can no longer care for their dog, the dog must be returned to Red Barn Rescue as stated in our contract.
