Max, Border Terrier For Adoption In Half Moon Bay, California

Price:

$100

Location:

Half Moon Bay, CA

Description:

Five year old Max was surrendered to the Hollister Animal Shelter. From talking with the Shelter staff, Max was not a stranger to them. His original owner left Max and his brother with a friend who surrendered them to the shelter when they were very young. The boys were adopted out. In 2023 they came back to the Shelter as strays. Again they were adopted out but came back to the Shelter this January as an owner surrender because of a bite incident. The shelter felt there was something odd about the bite report because they could not verify the the report with the "victim". Max is a sweet little boy who is a little hand and new people shy. Once he gets to know you he just wants to be close to his person. He gets along with other dogs. He is learning how to take treats from your fingers gently. He is current with his vaccinations, is neutered and micro-chipped and has tested negative for heartworms. He gets very nervous about being closed in small spaces and crates. We think that because he was in so many homes as a young dog, he has some separation anxiety about being left alone. Max needs a family who is patient and understanding and can give this little guy time for the diamond inside to emerge and shine. Is that your family? Please note: Max would do best as an only childMax is nervous around men and womenMax has some separation anxietyMax needs lots of exerciseNeeds a securely fenced yardMore information & application [ts=171053XXXX&src=aap]Adoption processCompanions in Waiting takes special measures to ensure that the pet you choose is the best match for you and your family. The following adoption procedures have been set up to up to help us determine that. If you would like to proceed with an application complete and sign our Cat Adoption Application form or Dog Adoption Application form so CIW can begin the adoption process. Visits to the foster homes prior to an adoption are strongly encouraged. A CIW volunteer specializing in adoptions will then talk to you in person and/or by phone in the next day or two. Please note: CIW does not support same-day adoptions. Potential adopters need sufficient time to decide whether this is the right animal companion, if they are truly able to make a long-term commitment as well as to prepare for the arrival of the new companion animal. The animal is delivered to the adoptive home by a CIW volunteer. The adoption is finalized with the signed Adoption Contract between the adopter(s) and CIW. There will be follow-up phone calls or visits from a CIW volunteer to make sure both companion animal and human are getting along fine! Prospective adopters should be aware that: - A $100 donation is requested per animal. This helps defray the cost of feeding, housing, and providing medical care to our animals. - All animals are spayed/neutered, vaccinated (except rabies) and cats & kittens tested for feline leukemia.Shelter locationWe have adoption fairs most weekends in Palo Alto, Menlo Park, and Half Moon Bay.
