Meet the “Little House Pups” – puppies Half-Pint, Mary, Carrie, Charles and Isaiah.  These sweeties are not only way-over-the-top adorable, they are also incredibly personable and people-oriented.  Our best assessment is that they are a mix of Blue Heeler (aka Cattle Dog) and Jack Russell Terrier, with Mary and Carrie looking the most JRT as compared with the other 3.  All of these pups are cutie-pies; they love to play, but they also love to cuddle and snuggle.  In terms of energy/activity level, while all are active pups who will run as fast as they can to get to you for attention, Mary and Carrie are the most active.  The boys, Charles and Isaiah, are a bit more laid back in terms of personality.  And little Half-Pint is aptly named – this little snuggle-bug (and she is the smallest of the litter) is incredibly sweet & affectionate, but she is spunky enough to be able to hold her own with her larger siblings. All of these pups are sweethearts who absolutely LOVE attention from their humans -- they are always up for lots of kisses, snuggling & belly rubs.

These pups are giving their foster mom lots of smiles with their antics & the tons of kisses that they all love to give!!  And, an added joy is that they are smart and clean – they learned the doggie door in less than 2 minutes and have done amazingly well with pottying outside.  We think these pups will be on the lower end of medium in size when full grown, with Half-Pint being the smallest of the group. 

If you have the time, willingness and ability to commit to one of these pups – for his or her whole life – no matter what may lie ahead in yours, please register on www.safeatlast.net (click Register on the left-hand side of our homepage).  When you receive your password on your email account, then log back on to the website with your username and password to complete the SAFE AT LAST online adoption application (click Forms/Applications on the left-hand side of our homepage).  Until we have your completed SAFE AT LAST application, we cannot consider you.  We do NOT accept the applications of other organizations (including Petfinder, Adopt a Pet, All Paws, or any other organization).  So, thank you for your cooperation and understanding.  

Our review process starts with submission of your completed Safe At Last adoption application -- and then we will email you to schedule a phone interview.  After that, we will call your references and perform a home assessment.  An adoption fee of $375 (and a refundable $35 neuter deposit, required by NYS law) also apply.  We are an all-volunteer organization, and we charge an adoption fee to cover our costs (medical, vetting, transport, food, etc) and to help other dogs in need.  100% of your adoption fee - every single cent - goes back to the rescue to pay for our costs and help other dogs, particularly those with special needs.  We are all volunteers who take NOT ONE CENT, EVER.

These pups are being fostered in a private home; we do not have a centralized facility.  THEREFORE, YOU CANNOT MEET THE PUPS UNTIL YOU HAVE BEEN APPROVED FOR ADOPTION PER THE PROCESS DESCRIBED ABOVE.  ALSO, we do not restrict by location, but ADOPTERS ARE REQUIRED TO COME TO THE FOSTER HOME (IN THIS CASE, FULTONHAM, NY) TO COMPLETE THE ADOPTION.  WE DO NOT DELIVER OR SHIP OUR RESCUE ANIMALS. 

If you have any questions, please email us at info@safeatlast.net.  We are happy to assist.

Thank you for your interest & for helping us save shelter pets, one life at a time.
