Vera's Story

This was from one of her recent posts. You can edit and remove things if you need too Are you tired of going to bathroom alone? Need an exercise buddy? Searching for a protector to save you from brooms, vacuums and loud machines? Looking to add a little excitement to your life maybe? Well, look no further! Vera is ready to find her forever home, but has a few requests... - Must provide copious amounts of belly rubs. - Allow her to become your second shadow. - Must play with her and alllllll the toys! - No other doggies, please! - Needs a couch and endless snuggles. - Snacks, She likes snacks Now for the important details: Vera prefers to be the queen of her castle and requires a home with no other dogs, please. She has not been tested with Cats and we are unsure of her background as she was found abandoned. Vera is potty and crate trained. She also does very well out of the crate when left alone. She is looking for a home with a fenced in yard and no kids due to her herding instincts. She will come with her big Jolly Ball which she absolutely LOVES and will play with it for hours outside if you let her. Another important note: Vera is very fearful of strangers and needs slow introductions outside of the home first or will need to be crated when guests are over. Her new adopter will also need to agree on attending private training lessons with Nick at Critical Canine Development which her Foster Mom has graciously offered to Sponsor to ensure her new owner(s) understand Vera and her needs when it comes to other dogs and meeting new people. Vera responds quickly with an E-Collar and it's recommended to continue the use of one even if it's just set to vibrate. She upholds the Cattle Dog Stubbornness and tries to be a Boss Lady, but with continued training and patience she will reward you with so much love in return. I cannot stress enough that she REALLY does love her people and literally just wants to play and be given pets/belly rubs all day, every day. Do you or someone you know fit her needs? If so, please visit our website and apply today!Please submit an Adoption Application here: www.rocthedogsrescue.com

ROC the Dogs Rescue, Inc.'s Adoption Policy

ROC the Dogs Rescue, Inc. is committed to finding the best possible permanent home for the dogs in the rescue program. To this end, the following adoption policies will be followed: 1. All applicants for adoption must complete an Adoption Application, either online or in printed copy. 2. All applicants must submit to personal and vet reference checks and home visits. 3. Dogs will only be placed into adoptive homes in the local, Rochester, NY area. 4. A non-refundable adoption donation is required and a legally binding Adoption Agreement must be signed at the time a dog is placed. Adoption donations are not negotiable and payment must be made in full prior to or at the time of placement of the dog. 5. Applicants must provide veterinary and personal references and contact veterinary facilities to authorize release of their records to a ROC the Dogs Rescue representative upon request. 6. Potential adoptive homes with other dogs or cats that are not spayed or neutered will not be considered unless there are verified medical reasons why alteration should not be performed. 7. Applicants who rent their homes must verify that they are permitted to have a dog and provide a landlord contact number on the adoption application. Landlords will be contacted in every case, without exception, to confirm their approval of the potential adoption. 8. The primary adopter must be at least 21 years old. 9. We are solely committed to the dogs accepted into the rescue. We want to find them loving, permanent homes and go to great lengths to place the right dog into the right family. We reserve the right to decline any adoption based on what we feel is in the best interest of the dog. 10. Upon adoption, copies of all available records will be provided to the adopter. All animals are spayed or neutered before adoption. Dogs will be current on vaccinations, tested for heartworm, and will be on a heartworm/flea/tick preventative medication. Each dog will also have a microchip implanted prior to adoption. 11. Prior to approval of any adopter, a home visit by a ROC the Dogs Rescue, Inc. volunteer, or such other approved representative, is mandatory. We do not ship or deliver dogs and there is NO exception to this rule. 12. Accurate assessment of all dogs is an objective; however, ROC the Dogs Rescue, Inc. carries no warranty of any kind, express or implied.
