Possom's Story

🐾 Hi! I’m Possum... apparently I’m the LAST one of my litter still looking for my forever family. 🥺<br/><br/>Honestly, I’m a little confused.<br/><br/>Did everyone accidentally skip over me? Because I have been working VERY hard on my résumé, and I think you’ll find I’m highly qualified in several important puppy departments:<br/><br/>✨ Zoomies<br/>✨ Couch snuggles<br/>✨ Ball chasing<br/>✨ Supervising the neighbourhood from the porch<br/>✨ Following my humans everywhere<br/>✨ Making children ridiculously happy<br/>✨ Soaking up sunny spots on the floor<br/>✨ Eating breakfast with tremendous enthusiasm<br/><br/>See? Extremely employable.<br/><br/>I’m a happy, affectionate, playful girl with LOTS of puppy energy and an even bigger personality. I love being with my people, and my foster’s grandkids, who are 7 and 8, visit almost every day. I absolutely LOVE when they come over!<br/><br/>I’ve had limited opportunities to meet other dogs while I finish up my vaccinations, but let me tell you — I am VERY interested in those puppy-looking creatures walking past my house. Bigger dogs can make me a little nervous right now, but dogs around my size look like potential new best friends. I don’t need another dog in my forever home, but an appropriate canine sibling could be a pretty great bonus for a busy girl like me.<br/><br/>I’m also making excellent progress on all those boring puppy responsibilities. I’m getting there with housetraining, working on crate training, and I already sleep through the night most nights until around 6 a.m. I’m not exactly the president of the Crate Appreciation Society, but I settle down and snooze when I need to.<br/><br/>Now, in the interest of full disclosure...<br/><br/>I am a puppy.<br/><br/>Sometimes I believe things on counters were obviously placed there for me. Occasionally I investigate household objects with my teeth. And I have energy. Lots of glorious, bouncing, zooming energy. 😂<br/><br/>Because I’m still young and learning about this big world, I’ll need a fenced yard, active humans who will continue my training, and a family ready for all the fun and mischief that comes with raising a puppy. Apartment or attached living probably isn't my best match because I sometimes like to announce when my humans leave or return.<br/><br/>But underneath all that puppy silliness is a really sweet girl. ❤️<br/><br/>Every day I’m becoming more confident. I love my humans, I love adventures, I love to play...and when all that important puppy business is finished, I’m more than happy to curl up beside you on the couch.<br/><br/>My littermates have found their people.<br/><br/>Now I’m just waiting for mine.<br/><br/>Maybe being the last one doesn’t mean I was forgotten.<br/><br/>Maybe it just means my family hasn’t found me yet. 🥹🐾<br/><br/>Love,<br/>Possum 💕

🐾 Hi! I’m Possum... apparently I’m the LAST one of my litter still looking for my forever family. 🥺

Honestly, I’m a little confused.

Did everyone accidentally skip over me? Because I have been working VERY hard on my résumé, and I think you’ll find I’m highly qualified in several important puppy departments:

✨ Zoomies
✨ Couch snuggles
✨ Ball chasing
✨ Supervising the neighbourhood from the porch
✨ Following my humans everywhere
✨ Making children ridiculously happy
✨ Soaking up sunny spots on the floor
✨ Eating breakfast with tremendous enthusiasm

See? Extremely employable.

It Takes A Village Dog Rescue's Adoption Policy
Hopeful adopters must fill out an adoption application. All applications are screened and potential matches are contacted. Follow up questions are emailed. A phone call is set up to clarify any questions about the adoption process. At that point the fosters are provided the contact information for the potential adopters. They set up a meet and greet at the fosters home. During the meet the foster will tell the potential adopter the good, the bad. and the ugly about the dog... we want total transparency in order to have an open and successful adoption. After the meet we ask the fosters and the adopters their thoughts. If the adopter would like to proceed, their references are checked and a virtual home visit is conducted. If the adoptable dog has any sort of behavioural or medical issues a plan to address the issue would be required before adoption could proceed. If all is good then the adoption contract is sent out to be signed and returned along with the adoption fee. The foster is given the green light to arrange pick up.
