rsonality. Heidi: Around 6 months old Female 14lbs last weighed We are guessing they will be medium to large sized, like a mini lab. They are actually quite petite and have not grown much at all over the past few weeks. Breed unknown. Possibly a lab/shepherd type mix but they are on the small end. Heidi is very playful! She likes her attention but also likes to go play! Kennel trained, potty trained. She loves being held too. Will even let you hold her like a baby. History: Found dumped at a church with the only food they were getting came from the kindness of the people around them. They were skinny and just wanting someone to love them. Their fosters caught them and took care of them. Now they are Rockers babies looking for families of their own. These babies do not disappoint in the awesome puppy area. They rock! Personality: Heidi is the more playful one. She loves her attention but she also likes to go play. Great with other dogs but chicken of cats right now. She is a little more independent than her brother. Enjoys playing in the yard! Good with kids but of course children must know how to treat a dog and the pups must also learn not to jump. That goes for any puppy. They are crate trained and haven't had any accidents yet besides an occasional excited pee. Never tried to escape their yard when out playing. For Heidi we would like a home with a yard and another doggy friend! She is to be an indoor dog but she does love going outside to play. She will make a GREAT family pet! Vetting: Will have all 3 puppy shot sets as of this week. Dewormed, Heartworm tested and results were negative for both, on heartworm and flea/tick prevention. Have rabies. Microchipped under rescue (see below for details) Will be spayed as of this week as well. About Microchip: Our animals are microchipped under the rescue. By having the animals microchipped under us it provides us with a definite option of the animal being safe if found. If the pet ever goes missing you can let us know as well so we may help find them. If we ever are called on the animal being found we will try our best for 2 weeks to get in contact with the owners (as you should also be trying to get in contact with us) and if the owner is not found after 2 weeks the animal is legally ours again via our contract. This is a GREAT safety precaution for loving families. It means you will have an awesome caring team devoted to reuniting you with your baby. We ourselves have found microchipped dogs that have been rehomed and ended up in shelters on a euthanasia list. We take this very seriously as we never want that to happen to any of our animals. We also require first option of taking an animal back if the home does not work out. You can consider us a forever family for the pets adopted from us. Adoption: Monthly h eartworm prevention is very important to us and your pet so adopters need to be financially prepared to cover that expense. If you do not know about heartworms we would love to tell you about them. We all have to learn! Any inquiries on adoption please feel free to message us. All information stated above is the the best of our knowledge for for as long as we have known this pet. You may check with us to see if we have any adoption events coming up where you may meet the animal. We will not schedule private meets without an approved application first though. Adoption donation fee of $150. (this includes microchipping expense) (The donation adoption fee generally NEVER covers the full expenses put into the animal. We have this donation as a way to help keep our 501c3 non profit functioning. We are all volunteers so your donation goes fully to the rescue. ) APPLICATION: First email us to let us know you are filling out an application as sometimes the site glitches and it will not send, rockersrescue@gmail.com then go to the following site to fill out the application. Include as much information as you can...we like to get to know our possible adopters! www.adoptapet.com/ rockersrescue/adoptionapp/.

  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.
