Dear little Dover arrived at NCCR on 3/1/25, transferred from an overcrowded shelter to give him the best chance at finding his happily ever after. He is an approximately 6–7-year-old neutered male weighing around 15 lbs. His breed mix is thought to be primarily Chihuahua, but may contain at least one or more other breeds in his heritage. Dover is good with most other dogs, and is very friendly with women, too, although he is fearful of most men and can be nippy out of nervousness & self-defense. His high-energy puppy years may be firmly in his past, but Dover still has lots of life to live and lots of love to give! He loves to be held and just wants to be with people. A home without small children is recommended, as sudden movements and noises make him a little jumpy. Dover seems to be house trained, & keeps his kennel clean. He’s an adorable little guy – just look at those tiny teef and radar dish ears!
If you think you might be interested in adopting, your first step should be to complete an Adoption Application. *After you have completed your application, you will get a confirmation that we have received your application. It takes a lot of time to process the applications, so we ask for your patience while we do so. If you see that the dog you were interested in has been adopted it means there were many applications for that dog and we did not get as far as processing your application before a home was found. We welcome you to apply again if you see another dog that interests you. If you have a question, please email your question to adoptions@caninerescue.org. It is much easier and quicker for us to respond by email as we receive many phone calls each day.
We do adopt out of state, however we do not transport or ship dogs. Potential adopter must be able and willing to travel to the Rescue to meet the dog they are interested in.
*PLEASE double check all of the phone numbers that you provide as if they are incorrect, we will be unable to process your application. Please also let your references know that someone from NCCR will be calling them. Most adoption team members call from their personal phone so advise your references that there may be an unknown number or a private number calling them.
Dover is kindly sponsored by former NCCR Resident Romeo and his family, W Susan Dempsey, Virginia Hemmings, Suzanne, Tillie Mae and Mimzie in memory of Bron Bron, and Dave and Nancy Nuzzo. Thank you everyone!
