Mastiff - Ziva - Medium - Young - Female - Dog in Perry, New York

Mastiff - Ziva - Medium - Young - Female - Dog
If you are interested in adopting this dog, please visit our website to fill out an application for consideration. Thank you! www.goingtothedogsrescue.org
Ziva is approximately 1yr old and is SUPER sweet, she loves to hug and give kisses. As a typical young dog, she does lack some manners so she will jump on you for attention. For that reason, a home with children under 6 may not be best for her but she is good around children and other dogs. She is unknown around cats but appears to have a prey drive, so for that reason we are saying no to a home with cats. I am currently living with 2 children (7&8) and I let the kids pet me, walk me, feed me, give me treats. I love to give hugs and kisses to everyone!
I also am living with other dogs ranging in size/age/breed from Chihuahua to Dogo Argentino and I am very playful with dogs. I enjoy running with them in our fenced yard, playing with balls, rope toys, and kongs. I also know how to use a doggie door! I am crate trained and stay there whenever my foster mommy is not home and at bedtime. I don?t mind getting a bath, but I am not overly interested in getting wet from the hose, I will run away from it. Due to Ziva's energy level a fenced yard is required as well as obedience training completed after adoption. This will help her with her manners and bonding with her new family to ensure she stays a lifelong pet! If you are not willing to commit to training, please refrain from filling out an application. Ziva's adoption fee is $250 which covers all of her medical care and expenses. She is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, heartworm tested negative.
Adoption Procedures:
We only consider your home for adoption after we receive an application. Once this is complete we then move on in the process to adopting your new best friend. Once we receive an application we review it to see if the particular dog(s) might be a good fit for your home/lifestyle and that you meet the required needs of the dog. Once this is done we proceed to check veterinary references. This is to ensure that pets you have or have had in the past were cared for, altered, and up to date with necessary medical care. Once you have been through this initial screening we then set up a home visit to ensure that the home is a safe home with little concern about their personality matching yours. We also want to ensure that the home is set up for the same energy levels or medical needs they may or may not have (dog that can't climb stairs, or not enough room to walk, etc.) These steps are important to ensuring that we are finding the proper home for the dog to be FURever!
A few requirements of adoption are:
*We currently do not adopt out of state. *We do not adopt to homes with smoking indoors due to health concerns for the pets *Our 'bully' breed adoptions require you to be a homeowner, have a fully fenced yard (not invisible fencing) unless you have acreage, and you are required to attend an obedience training class. This is due to the high rate of returns in dogs that are not properly exercised or trained and make it difficult to re-home. *We are a registered not for profit and do not earn a salary, our adoption fees are recycled to help rescue our future dogs. We are always looking for assistance on our team as well as donations to help run our rescue smoothly.
Frequently Asked Questions:
1. I applied to adopt a pitbull but we have an invisible fence not a solid fencing, can we still adopt?
-unfortunately invisible fencing is not full proof fencing and does not protect your own dogs from other loose dogs entering your property. Many dogs get out of invisible fencing and then are too afraid to return back to the yard, and there are just too many concerns with the bully breed to put them at risk.
2. Do you negotiate on your adoption fees? If I want to take the dog to my own vet for spay/neuter can I get a discount on adoption fees?
-Unfortunately 80% or more of our dogs cost hundreds more than we actually a
