Twinkie's Story

Meet Twinkie, a three month old Shih Tzu mix. He's a tiny little guy with a personality that is anything but tiny! Twinkie may only grow to be 10 pounds, but don't let his size fool you. <br/><br/>He's playful, outgoing, and ready to be involved in whatever his people are doing. He loves everyone he meets, enjoys playing with other dogs, and even did well living with cats. His favorite games are tug and chase, and he'd love a family that is happy to get down on the floor and play with him.<br/><br/>Twinkie is affectionate and loves being pet and picked up, but don't expect him to spend the day tucked under your arm. He's a small dog, but definitely not a "purse dog"! His size makes him easy to take along, but his energy and personality mean he wants to be an active participant in family life.<br/><br/>Like any young puppy, Twinkie is still learning how to be the best dog he can be. He's working on potty training, obedience, and crate training. His new family will need to continue working on these skills with patience, structure, and consistency. <br/><br/>Twinkie would be a great fit for someone who wants an interactive, playful little dog and genuinely enjoys being involved with their pup. He may be small enough to fit in your lap, but he's much more interested in being your playmate, sidekick, and constant source of entertainment.<br/><br/>Twinkie's neuter is included in his adoption fee at an FLH approved veterinarian.<br/><br/>If Twinkie could be the perfect addition to your home, please submit an adoption application on our website: furlovehaven.org<br/><br/>** Please understand that we are a volunteer-run organization and we do our best to respond in a timely manner. Due to the high volume of applications, emails & phone calls we receive, we may be unable to respond to everyone.<br/><br/>The first step is to submit an adoption application.<br/><br/>We will review your application and you may be contacted if this animal miught be a good fit. <br/><br/>Please be aware, submitting an application is not a guarantee, but if we think you might be a potential fit, someone will contact you within 72 hours.

Fur Love Haven's Adoption Policy
Adopters must be at least 18 years of age. Adopted animals may not be given away, sold, or traded, even as a gift to a friend or family member, or taken to a shelter without Fur Love Haven’s (FLH) prior approval. Adopted animals must be cared for in a humane and responsible manner and provided with clean and appropriate shelter, food, water, exercise, companionship and veterinary care. Animal will be indoors and will not be chained/penned outside. FLH recommends that the adopter has a veterinarian examine their adopted animal within 15 days of adoption. Adopters can return their animal to FLH within 15 days of the date of the adoption and FLH will refund the entire adoption fee paid. The adoption fee is not refundable after 15 days from the date of the adoption agreement even if returned to FLH. The adopter will ensure the animal is up to date on vaccines and notify FLH of any behavioral problems that have occurred before an adopted animal is returned. At the time of adoption, the animal will have age appropriate core vaccinations unless an FLH veterinarian recommends delaying any vaccinations for health reasons. If vaccinations were not completed and were due prior to adoption, an FLH representative will coordinate vaccines at the expense of FLH. Core vaccinations are DHPP, Bordatella and Rabies for dogs; FVRCP and Rabies for cats. The adopter is financially responsible for the animal (including boosters and subsequent vaccinations) effective the date of the adoption. A representative from the organization may make inquiries to veterinarians or visit the animal to ensure that it is well taken care of. If we find that the animal has been neglected or abused in any way or for any reason, we reserve the right to remove the animal from the premises. Attempts to remove the animal shall not constitute trespass at the property occupied by the animal. Upon removal, ownership rights of the animal automatically transfer back to Fur Love Haven. Adopters agree to immediately notify FLH of any change of contact information (address, phone number, or email address) or the event the animal becomes lost or dies. Adopters agree to notify FLH, without delay, if they can no longer care for or keep their animal and agree to give FLH reasonable time to rehome or place the animal in an approved foster home, if available. At FLH discretion we may approve a foster-to-adopt arrangement. An adoption is not final until confirmation is received in written form from FLH. At FLH discretion FLH may approve an adoption prior to the spay/neuter of an animal and a Spay/Neuter Agreement will be required. Adopters agree to be bound by the terms of the separate Spay/Neuter Agreement. Adopters agree that Fur Love Haven will remain as a secondary contact on the animal’s microchip registration with the phone number (971) 208-3881. Adopters agree to ensure proper licensing of the animal and compliance with all applicable local and state statutes. Potential Adopters authorize Fur Love Haven (FLH) to contact: Veterinarian(s) to check the care provided to previously and/or current pets, and to check the spay/neuter history; Property owner/managers to ensure permission to keep pets) on the premises; and Employer to confirm employment
