Zuzu-Adopted!

Adoption Application

Zuzu is a lovable, entertaining, tiny gal, a Maltese, probably a mix, 6.2 lbs. and is 6 years, 9 months old. She should look more like a Maltese when her hair grows back. She spent most of her previous life caged, having puppies for profit. She needs a home with at least one small, friendly resident dog. She isn’t ready to try leash walking yet. A fenced yard is preferred. She will thrive with someone who is home most of the time, as she does not like to be left alone. She is fond of being pet and cuddling with the resident dogs.

Zuzu gets along quite well with her four foster sisters. Due to her small stature, a home without young children would probably be best. Cats are unknown. She loves her newfound freedom. She is starting to get the hang of house training. With a consistent schedule, and positive reinforcement, she should master it before long. Zuzu is playful, friendly, and is pretty quiet. The transition to her forever family should be a smooth one.

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.

Zuzu is sponsored by Angela O’Rourke Chelsea Barber, Suzanne, Tillie Mae and Mimzie in memory of Bron Bron and Rebecca Wood. Thank you!
