Pumpkin's Story

PUMPKIN IS AN ESCAPE ARTIST AND NEEDS AN EXPERIENCED, DILIGENT ADOPTER THAT LIVES IN AN APARTMENT OR HAS A DOUBLE GATED YARD. AS A YOUNG DOG THAT JUST CAME INTO OUR RESCUE SHE IS NOT COMPLETELY HOUSEBROKEN AND IS STILL LEARNING TO WALK ON A LEASH. SHE WOULD DO BEST IN A HOME WITHOUT CHILDREN AND THAT HAS AN EXISTING PLAYFUL MALE DOG HER SIZE (NO LARGE BREEDS).<br/><br/>Pumpkin is a two-year-old Chihuahua/Dachshund mix who will steal your heart – and your socks! She is obsessed with socks! Rescued along with her brother, Bean, Pumpkin is high-spirited, athletic, and fearless. She loves to play ball and unstuff toys. She also watches TV more intently than any dog we have ever seen, and reacts to all animals from the Budweiser Clydesdales to the Geico Lizard!<br/><br/>She loves people, and is very dog social. We would love for her to be adopted with her brother, but are open to placing her in a home with another playful dog similar in size. We do not believe Pumpkin should be an only dog.<br/><br/>Pumpkin is an escape artist and needs an experienced, diligent adopter with a secure home and yard. She has made great strides in her housebreaking, leash walking and basic obedience, but will need a savvy adopter who will provide plenty of structure and training to help her become a good canine citizen. She is eager to please but sensitive, and needs to be guided with gentle corrections. Her exuberance does not make her a good fit for families with small children.<br/>---<br/>If you are interested in adopting PUMPKIN please fill out our adoption application on www.therescuetrain.org. Applications are required PRIOR to meeting one of our animals and are used to set up a safe and successful adoption. Please don't be shy and answer the questions thoroughly.

The Rescue Train's Adoption Policy
Ready To Adopt? Our adoption process is designed to help us set up safe and successful adoptions. The majority of the time we only do local adoptions in the City of Los Angeles. If you do not live in the LA City area please check with us before filling out an application by e-mailing us @ info@therescuetrain.org. We Take The Guess Work Out! We invest a lot of time, money and love into each animal in our care to help the adopter know what kind of pet they are adopting. Unless there is a medical reason all our animals are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and many of our dogs have had over $2000 of obedience training in our "Trained For Life" program. Step 1) View pets online: www.therescuetrain.org Step 2) Submit Application for the Pet of Your Choice Our adoption application is not meant to be an invasion of privacy but a tool to help us find out if one of our dogs or cats would fit happily into your home and lifestyle. We spend a lot of time and funds to get to know our pets and your application helps set both you and them up for a successful adoption. Step 3) Meet the Pet By appointment only. If your application is approved, you will be contacted to meet the pet at a convenient time. We ask that everyone who will be living with the pet attend the meeting. Also, for dogs if you have an existing dog we will introduce the dogs during the adoption process. Step 4) Home Check While a home visit is required prior to final placement, it does not guarantee adoption. We like to see where our pets will be living to make sure that they will be in a safe and secure environment. Often we can help with unforeseen health risks and help secure yards and fences that first time owners might miss. Step 5) Adoption Contract The adoption contract is a legal binding contract between the adopter and our organization. If, for any reason, the adoption of one of our pets DOES NOT work out, you MUST return the animal to The Rescue Train. Step 6) Tax Deductible Donation There is a minimum, tax deductible, non-refundable donation of $250.00 per dog, $500.00 for "Trained For Life Dogs", $125 per cat or $200 for a pair of cats. The donation helps us recoup a small fraction of our pet care costs. Step 7) Delivery of Your New Family Member We come with education and helpful hints to help things go smoothly and take the guess work out of what to expect when bringing your new pet home. Each pet has a team of people behind him/her and we are here to be a support system if you should need us.
