Vera is in search of a home with a securely fenced yard, at least one other friendly dog, and needs someone who is home most of the time. She wants to be near people and other small dogs. Cats, larger dogs, and children are unknown.
Vera is happy her life as a puppy producer is behind her. She is a Maltese mix, possibly a MaltiPoo, weighing 13.5 pounds, and is 4.5 years old. She is predominantly white, with some apricot patches. She will be spayed and microchipped soon.
According to her foster mom, Vera is quite playful, and is a fast learner. She is getting the hang of house training and basic commands. She takes cues from the resident dogs, and is curious about everything. We are working on leash walking. She is very cooperative with grooming, and is beginning to enjoy being picked up and pet. Vera loves exploring inside the house and fenced yard. She is a bit timid around people, but not fearful, so is making progress quickly. She is embracing her newfound freedom and is a happy and beautiful little dog.
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.
Vera is happy to be sponsored by Susane Berg, Suzanne, Tillie Mae and Mimzie in memory of Bron Bron, Chelsea Barber, Heath Forster, Tina and James McCroskey and Henry Leworthy. Thank you so much!
