Our
Beautiful Selection of Dogs to Adopt!
Due
to abuse of our online form, we now send applications by request only.
 
We request
that our Adopters fill out an application, sign a contract, and pass a Home
Inspection. Some people
think that, since they are willing to take a homeless dog off our hands,
we should give them the dog without an adoption fee. Well, that would
be nice, and in a perfect world, it would be possible. But vet care for
our rescue dogs costs money, which we must recover, at least in part,
in order to go on rescuing. Each dog must have a physical examination,
receive any required vaccinations (for rabies, parvo virus, etc.), flea
prevention, and be spayed or neutered at the very least. MOST dogs that
come into rescue need a dental and they are around $350 or more. The
rescue pays for these procedures just like private owners. We almost never
qualify for discounts.
For the most part, our adoption fees reflect the medical expenses incurred
for a particular dog. Other factors in adoption fees are age and health
of the dog. All other monies go into a fund, which helps pay the medical
bills for dogs that require unusually expensive care -- bills that an
adoption fee could not cover. We do not accept personal checks for adoption
fees, you must pay with cash or a bank or postal money order.
Please keep this fact in mind: The usual adoption fee for a Cuteodyssey rescue
is $900 and up. Pairs can be more, depending
on age. The going rate for a puppy at a pet store -
a puppy that, in all likelihood came from a puppy mill - is between $1200
and $1500 and you still have to pay for vaccinations and spaying or neutering
on top of that.
And please keep in mind...if you are bored please shop for shoes, not
for our dogs. Our dogs are NOT for sale. Dogs are living creatures, we
cannot guarantee their health and their behavior in their new home. Dogs
react differently in various environments and with a variety of people.
If you are not happy with your adoption we may be able to take the dog
back, but we do not refund adoption fees.
Each
potential adopter will have only 15 minutes with the dog from now on.
Please, if you are not really seriously interested, do not take the full
15 minutes to let us know you do not want to adopt. Spare our dogs' time.
Also, please be aware that some dogs will not warm up to you right away
and that they also may already love the foster and may want to please
her or him, so unless you are prepared to work with the dog to gain his
affection and trust do not waste our and your time. We do not have time
to chat with you unless you are a real dog lover.
We are not here to help you getting a tiny designer dog at a cheap price,
please look somewhere else. Some dogs like Yorkies and Yorkie mixes
bond very closely to our fosters, do not hold it against the dog. If you
are looking for a perfect dog and you are not willing to work with our
dogs, please do not contact us.
OUR TIME is very limited and we must first and foremost give it to OUR RESCUE DOGS, we are unable TO CATER TO ADOPTERS. PLEASE BE SENSITIVE TO OUR MISSION.
If you are serious fill out an application, the more we know about you the better we can match you to one of our seniors or help you find the right dog.
"Soli Deo Gloria"
Legal
notice:
To all potential adopters of our dogs:
The exact age of each individual dog is in some cases never actually known,
as many of our rescued dogs have no history of ever having had homes.
We do our best to get as many Veterinary opinions on the approximate age
of each dog and their best guess at the general age range, judging from
the health, dental examination, and many other factors, but most importantly,
our personal Veterinary doctors opinion. Canine teeth generally begin
to show some wear at about 5 years old. Vets also examine the eyes to
see if the dog has signs of age related changes. Taking all of this into
consideration and comparing it with the average lifespan of the particular
breed can give a good approximation of a dog's age. We do our very best
to keep you as accurately informed as possible. Thank you for considering
giving a homeless pet a forever loving home.
Integrity and
Collection of your Personal Information:
Cute odyssey, Inc. reserves the right to decline any potential adopter
application if the information submitted is: inaccurate or falsified,
if you are misrepresenting the truth falsely. Such as; legal name, age,
address, or occupation. We must stand by these rules in order to find
the best possible potential homes for our rescued animals. Please submit
your information accurately, complete and up to date. Thank you.
