Pretzel's Story

Pretzel is a 2.5 months old, 9 lbs Chow Chow mix. He is great with other dogs and loves people, should be good with kids too, but doesn’t currently live with any. He’s playful, loves toys and is super cuddly. <br/><br/>Pretzel does great in his crate and has been doing really well with potty training. He enjoys riding in his stroller when his foster family takes their dog for walks. <br/><br/>Super sweet and playful. He’s got that great puppy energy that is followed by those long puppy naps. <br/><br/>* Pretzel requires three more rounds of vaccines. His paws on the ground date is 6/19/26. This means he will need a home with a private fenced yard or a private patio/balcony that can be setup for outside potty time. <br/><br/>** Please check our website for guidelines about adopting a puppy that is not fully vaccinated. <br/><br/>*** Puppies are a lot of work and do require time, patience and training.

Happy Hearts Dog Rescue's Adoption Policy
1. Adopters fill out an Adoption Application. 2. HHDR will review the Application, check your references and speak with your Vet. NOTE: Adoption Application approval times vary, but we strive to approve applications with 72 hours. 3. Once your Application is approved, we’ll set up a meet ‘n’ greet and a home check (Post COVID-19: Home checks are performed virtually). 4. If the meet n greet goes well, then your potential new furry family member will come over for a play date. 5. Adoptions will require a three day trial visit before finalizing. 6. If all goes well and your adoption is approved, we will send you an Adoption Agreement for your review. 7. You’ll sign and return a copy of the Adoption Agreement along with the adoption fees. Your Adoption Agreement will include a customized list of the any remaining vaccinations and spay/neuter needed along with the time table in which you are required to get them. Once everything is in place, your new dog’s foster family will coordinate with you to get your new family member! * We do require all dogs in the Adopter/Foster’s home to be up to date on vaccines, current on heartworm prevention, and must be fixed. ** You must provide proof of heartworm preventative being purchased within the past 6 months to one year. We will not adopt to a home that can not provide proof their dogs takes monthly heartworm prevention. *** Young puppies that are not fully vaccinated must remain “paws off the ground” in public places (apartment complexes, dog parks, neighborhood walks) until 7 days after their final round of vaccines. **** If a dog is not fully vaccinated and they have not been fixed yet, HHDR will only allow a local adoption.
