Walter 's Story

Wonderful Walter #hmrwalter is ready for a new home. He spent the day at the vet yesterday and on through exam and bloodwork his only issues are he is positive for Lyme and he is deaf. He is on Doxy and will adopt with the remainder of the course. He definitely isn’t affected by his lack of hearing but all humans in the home will need to be mindful of this. He is very friendly and adores attention from everyone but since he was a stray we don’t know his past home type. He will be neutered on the 30th and we would love to have a home for him soon after that. He is very dog friendly, tested ok with a cat but no idea on having lived with one. He crates well and seems to be housebroken, only one accident and that was his first day. Walks well on a leash but definitely loves smelling EVERYTHING. He is 55 lbs and we are calling him 8 years old. He is spry and moves well, enjoys his walks and seems to be more of a tug type player than a fetch player but like most retrievers he would definitely learn we are sure. Located in Warrenton, VA he is available for transport after his neuter. https://form.jotform.com/hailmaryrescue/hail-mary-rescue-adoption-applicati

Hail Mary Rescue's Adoption Policy

Hail Mary Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to helping Animal Shelters. We assist with medical needs/rehab/transports/assessments, etc. We pull dogs from high kill shelters when foster homes are available. We are foster based which gives pets the opportunity to live in home settings where they are house and crate trained, learn basic obedience commands, and are well socialized, many with children and other dogs. Exposure to cats depends on the foster's home. We adopt to homes all over the United States. Mission: Moving Heaven and Earth to Improve the Lives of Shelter Animals Slogan: Together we make it Better .. Our policy is to rescue for life and if any of our rescued dogs cannot stay with their adoptive family, they must be returned to Hail Mary Rescue and not to a shelter. Hail Mary Rescue requires vet checks and at times home checks. LANDLORD REFERENCE AND APPROVAL if renting your home/apartment. We match our dogs according to the information YOU answer on our adoption application. Without accurate information, we cannot guarantee a good match. After all, isn't this what it's all about when adopting your Forever Companion? We want our dogs to succeed and be happy. If the dog you are interested in is not suitable, we will be more than happy to try and find one who is. Southeast Louisiana has an overpopulation of unwanted dogs turned into area shelters daily. Every application is responded to by our Adoption Coordinators. Submitting the application does NOT mean the dog is yours. We are all Volunteers so please give us time to match you up with a wonderful dog. Each of our dogs are unique with different requirements to adopt. Please read carefully to ensure this one is for you. VET REFERNCES: Your application should contain the name your vet account is under. If you have multiple animals or multiple vets, please include all the names of your vets. All current dogs should be up to date with Rabies, Bordetella, Parvo, Distemper, Heartworm Preventative and be Spayed/Neutered. . Vet references should also show a history of an ability to care for sick or injured pets. OUR ADOPTION FEE COVERS: Vaccinations: Rabies (3 months and older) DHLPP, Bordetella. Fecal-negative Spay/Neuter Microchip Flea and tick preventative-current at time of adoption Heartworm Preventative - current at time of adoption Exposure to a home setting where they are started on: House and crate training Basic obedience commands Well socialized, many with children dogs. Exposure to cats depends on the foster's home. We have, and always will, work with "Underdogs". These are our "Special Ones" who require a patient and unique family to love them. We NEVER adopt out aggressive dogs. Our "Special Ones" are sweet and loving but lack trust in new humans. These are dogs we have pulled out of the worst of circumstances. They have been let down over and over, some let down through other so called "rescues" who promised them help and never gave it. Please read carefully if you see our hashtag #hmrhelpingtheunderdogs These are "Special Dogs" who are seeking "Special People" to love them!!!
