Update - "Name Your Adoption Donation" program

The "Name Your Adoption Donation" (NYAD) club has three new members now.  It is our goal to save dogs from kill lists, get them vetted and adoptable and then find them furever homes as soon as possible.  Some dogs just get overlooked for whatever reason - hence the NYAD program.

Mr. Fox

Mr. Fox is a sweet little guy with a fluffy coat (hence the name).  He just doesn't stick out when folks come into the rescue shop to adopt.  Nice little dog and would work well in just about any situation.

Tail-less Joe

Tail-less Joe is another nice little guy that doesn't get looked at.  He has a nub tail (genetic) which makes him somewhat uncommon... Chihuahuas don't normally have snub tails.  And he's a nice little dog that again would adopt well in just about any situation.

Whistler

Finally, there is Whistler.  What a cutie pa-tootie he is!  Scroll down for his recent video playing with me!

How does the NYAD program work?  Obviously we hope you don't offer a dollar for one of these club members... or else we could not continue to rescue other dogs on tomorrow's kill lists.  Each TLC dog will be spayed/neutered prior to adoption, be up to date on their vaccines including rabies, microchipped and licensed for the County of Ventura -- whether or not they are in the NYAD program -- that is standard for us as a rescue and is expensive to do.  Come in and meet the dogs, fall in love and fill out an adoption application.  Once approved, let our volunteer know you want to use the NYAD program and what you would like to donate to adopt the dog.  It is still tax deductible regardless of the amount.  But rather than have a saved dog sit with us for more than six months, TLC would prefer to find him a great furever home even if we take a loss on the cost to save them.

Other NYAD dogs still waiting for their furever homes:

• JackJack - JackJack rides the 'short bus' and probably has since birth according to our vet.  His head and jawline is a bit misshaped and he has only three teeth after his dental.
• BabyJane - Last of another rescue's life's work before she succumbed to cancer, BabyJane does not like ALL older, portly men for some reason.  Gets along fine with young men and all women - has to be hurt by this human type in her past somewhere.
• Sissy - Came to us with severe separation anxiety after going through the shelter system twice.  It is MUCH better now but she does need extra cuddles to stay well balanced on a daily basis.
• Ophelia - Black Dog Syndrome?  We can't explain why she's not been adopted yet... nice dog.
• Tito - Tricolor blue - not common for a Chihuahua and yet again, we can't explain why he doesn't get picked for adoption.
• Snyder - No idea why this guy hasn't been adopted yet - really nice, well mannered dog.-
• Shania - Doesn't care for children and favors men over women if given a choice, Shania is a dominant female and would do best as an only dog.
