In the shelter’s words

PLEASE go to our website www.collarofhope.org to read all information about our puppies, rescue, adoption process and to submit our adoption application. All of our information does not transfer to the adoption sites. Before completing our adoption application, please consider the following: Is someone home to raise and train a puppy? Do you have a securely fenced yard for the puppy? Can you give a puppy a 15ish year commitment? This litter was born in our rescue. If you apply for one of these puppies, note who your groomer is on the application as they'll need regular professional grooming their whole lives. We do not want them in the horrible shape their Mom was in when she arrived nor the majority of the hair dogs we receive. Families with young children in the home will not be considered. About these babies. They are very sweet and very social. They are loving running and exploring now. They are so fluffy that they've already started getting their pads shaved and sanitary clips done. Their Mama structurally looks like a poodle and maltese mix but may have havanese in her also due to her colors and we are certain their Papa is a shih tzu. All of the dogs at the place they came from were small hair breed dogs. With being half shih tzu, keep in mind that once they hit adulthood, they'll likely be allergic to grain and chicken (extremely common in that breed). We want them fed an appropriate diet and do not want them living on apaquil as adults. Puppies that are not old enough to have received all 3 puppy DHPP vaccines will not be adopted to anyone in apartment or condo residents as they are not protected against parvo or distemper until they've received all 3 vaccines. Our puppies are or will be neutered, micro-chipped, vaccinated age appropriate (they will need additional vaccines), de-wormed and parasite treated/prevented throughout their time with CoH as a foster puppy. Vaccine Protocol is as follows: DHPP series of 3 are needed and puppies are not protected against parvo or distemper until they're received ALL 3 vaccines. Rabies 6 months of age
