Tulip Seashell! Buttercup and Tulip come to us comes to us from a rescue collaborative where assistance was given to someone in the community who had gotten in over their head with dogs. Buttercup (fawn) and Tulip (black) are 8 month old, 4 lb Chihuahua SPAYED FEMALES. They *may* be littermates. They are also microchipped, vaccinated, free of parasites and have had some retained baby teeth pulled so that they do not cause problems down the road. Buttercup had an injury to her eyes (perhaps from competing for food or other resources or an accidental one from her mother). The left one had to be removed. The right one is intact but she does have impaired vision. She is on eyedrops right now to see if we can improve her sight. She may need OTC drops in this eye ongoing. (Tulip's eyes are fine). Buttercup and Tulip are sweet and shy. They melt into you when you love them and do not have a single mean bone in their entire bodies. They would likely do best if adopted to separate homes perhaps with a social dog to show them the ropes. Both are working on their leash and house skills but are very quiet in their crates in the car and do well crated. They are also good at using pee pads if contained in a crate or x-pen. They are great with other dogs and are smaller than most cats. We would not recommend them for homes with small, young and very active children as they are both timid and fragile. To inquire about adopting either Buttercup or Tulip, please send an email to beourpet@gmail.com #startastoryadopt #adoptable GENERAL INFO: Housebroken?: Working on it Crate Trained?: Yes Leash Trained?: Workjng on it Rides Well in Car?: Yes Non-Shedding?: No Good with cats?: Yes, we think so Good with dogs?: Yes Qualifies for Seniors for Seniors?: No Umbrella of Hope does not have any strict rules on ages of children because all children are different, but our best approximation is that this animal would do best with children over the age of 10 Umbrella of Hope is a non-profit animal rescue based out of Pittsburg, CA that rescues animals off death row from local shelters.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
