Leo

My story

Please do NOT call to ask if this puppy is available for adoption. If this listing is still posted then we are still accepting application for him/her. Please read the narrative in its entirety. Please note our adoption procedures are explained in GREAT DETAIL BELOW. READ, READ, READ. Thank You. . . . . The best match will be selected and contacted to confirm an appointment. We do not do out-of-state adoptions for puppies and we cannot hold puppies; please submit your application when you are ready to adopt. If you are interested in meeting this puppy, please fill out an application from our website, poochmatch.com. Open the ADOPTION folder at the top of our home page. Just fill in the blanks and return it via email to poochmatch@hotmail.com. We receive many applications for a single puppy however only one prospective adopter will be invited to meet and adopt Leo. Leo and siblings were rescued along with her mother from a homeless woman in the Mojave desert. All adoption fees cover the mandatory and non-negotiable spay/neuter, rabies, microchip, microchip registration, full sets of core vaccinations (4 for puppies) rabies and deworming. Adoption fees vary based on age, breed, size and the costs incurred on the dog's behalf by us i.e. medical and vetting cost. Puppies are not house-trained although they may have begun crate-training and/or potty pad training in their foster home, depending on their age. House-training is a process that will need to be completed by their adopter. Puppies, if left unsupervised and not redirected will develop negative behaviors such as eliminating in the wrong place, chewing, barking, whining, etc. Please be sure to do research on raising a puppy and be sure that you are prepared to do so. This is a great article from 3LostDogs that explains the trials and tribulations of puppyhood: http://3lostdogs.com/things-wish-everyone-knew-before-they-get-dog-2/

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Leo, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
