Skylark's Story

FAST FACTS:<br/>* 2 Months & 17.6lbs and Growing<br/>* Kid Friendly<br/>* Dog Friendly<br/>* Crate Trained<br/>* Working on Potty Training<br/><br/>Meet Skylark! Sweet, curious, gentle and just the right amount of silly, Skylark is the kind of puppy who makes everyone around her smile. At 13 weeks old and 17.6 lbs, she has already shown us what a wonderful little companion she can be.<br/><br/>Skylark absolutely LOVES kids! She lights up when she sees them—her little tail goes crazy and her whole body gets wiggly with excitement. She is gentle, patient and has wonderful manners with children of all ages.<br/><br/>She also loves other dogs and has learned great manners from her foster’s big resident dog. She is brave but submissive, loves to wrestle and play tug, and enjoys having a canine buddy around.<br/><br/>And when playtime is over? Skylark knows how to relax. She’ll either put herself in her crate for a nap or pop her front paws up on the couch with a look that says, “I’m ready for cuddles. Please pick me up!” <br/><br/>Her daily routine is already impressive for such a young puppy. She sleeps through the night from around 9 PM until 6–7 AM with no accidents and is continuing to work on potty training. She is also comfortable in her crate and pen and can happily settle while her foster works.<br/><br/>Skylark loves toys, especially bones, playing outside, baby pools and sprinklers. She has moderate energy but is also very adaptable and has thrived in every situation she’s been introduced to.<br/><br/>She was found in a box on the side of the road near a shelter in Tunica, Mississippi, along with her nine siblings. Despite that rough start, Skylark is nothing but sweetness.<br/><br/>Skylark would love a home with kids, another dog, or both! She would also make a wonderful first dog for someone looking to add a puppy to their family.<br/><br/>She’s ready to trade her rough beginning for the forever family she deserves. <br/>Please fill out an adoption application, and Fetching Tails Foundation will be in touch soon!<br/><br/>ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS, NO EXCEPTIONS:<br/><br/>*ADOPTION FEE: $475<br/><br/>* Must Live Within a 50 mile radious of Itasca, IL within Illinois<br/><br/>*Be at least 21 years of age<br/><br/>*Have the knowledge and agreement of all adults living in the household<br/><br/>*Have approval from owner of residence (written in lease)<br/><br/>*Have a valid ID with current address (please provide proof of address if ID address is not up-to-date)<br/><br/>*Be approved as a suitable adoptive home by Fetching Tails Foundation<br/><br/>*Be prepared to make a lifetime commitment<br/><br/>*QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR POLICIES?

Fetching Tails Foundation's Adoption Policy
1). All dogs listed on the website are currently available for adoption. We are volunteer-run and will do our very best to respond to your interest in one of our dogs within 24-48 hours. If you have not received a response by the 48-hour mark, please check your spam. 2). The decision to place one of our rescue dogs into either a foster home or adoptive home is not one that we take lightly. We reserve the right to deny any application and may not disclose the reason for denial. This decision is not made on a first-come, first-served basis, it is determined by who would be the best fit for our dog based on their personality in a foster home. 3). At times we have multiple applications on the same adoptable dog - and we reserve the right to stop accepting applications at any point when there is an overwhelming number of applicants for the same dog. This may be the reason you do not see the particular dog on our website or any partner websites, even after submitting an application. If an application is submitted, you should expect a response from us. Process Application – As a potential adopter, you will fill out and submit an adoption application. Your application will be reviewed by an FTF Volunteer, who will contact you within 24-48 hours of submission. Again, please check your spam if you do not hear from someone by the 48-hour mark. Meet If the application is deemed a good fit, the foster/volunteer will schedule a meet with the applicant and everyone in the household. All members of the application household, including dogs, will meet at a secured location decided by the foster and applicants. If a person or dog is over often, they are able to attend as well. Home Checks: After the application has been approved and the meet and greet has been done we will move forward with a home check. ** Please note, if you are in a rented home, we will be contacting your landlord for their approval prior to adoption. If the approval is not written in your lease, we will need written approval from your landlord. Contract If you are approved for adoption, you will be notified and adoption will be scheduled at one of two locations. You will fill out our adoption contract, which details our policies and procedures regarding the responsibility and care of the Fetching Tails dog. At this time you will receive proof of all vaccinations, the microchip number, test results, a rabies certificate, and any additional medical records, if necessary. Adoption Donation When you adopt a dog, you're not buying a pet. Your donation isn't a fee for your adoptee - it's a gift that helps us pursue our mission, save lives, and ensure we can provide care to all the dogs in our program. Senior dog. 8 years and up / $175 Adult or Young Dog. 6 months to 7 years / $400 Puppies. Under 6 months / $475 (Cash, Zelle, or check accepted only on adoption day) Care Provided At minimum, all Fetching Tails dogs receive the following: Fecal tests (and treatment, if needed) Age-appropriate Vaccinations Microchip, which will be transferred to you at the time the adoption is processed with our 24PetWatch chip Heartworm Test (and treatment, if positive) Spay/Neuter Surgery Flea & Tick Preventative (during the proper season) Heartworm Preventative (during the proper season) **Please note the following: 1). We are unable to make any guarantees of the future health, age, temperament, size, or breed of your adopted dog. 2). In the event that the adopter is no longer able or willing to care for the adopted dog, or the dog is no longer a “fit” in the home, the adopter understands that the dog MUST be returned to Fetching Tails Foundation. If the adopted dog is not returned to Fetching Tails, the Foundation has the right to subject a fine and if necessary, will take legal action. 3). Please read over your adoption contract carefully.
