Please read about our adoption process prior to applying for any animal with us.

Our website has information about our rescue, adoption process and link to our adoption application www.collarofhope.org

 We are a foster home based rescue and have no facility to visit.
 Prior to adoption, our animals are spay/neutered, vaccinated including rabies/age appropriate, microchipped and parasite treated/prevented as a minimum.

PLEASE go to our website for information about our rescue, adoption process and to submit our adoption application.
Please read all provided information before you apply for adoption.  Phone calls and email messages will likely not be answered as we expect a ton of interest in these puppies.

5 shih tzu puppies were born to Hailey the day she was pulled from a high kill shelter.   The smallest baby did not make it, Mama Hailey was very sick with a respiratory infection and pneumonia and the 4 surviving puppies have been bottle fed since they were 5 days old.  They are pure bred as well. 

We have very strict requirements for adoption of the puppies.  They are too young and too small for us to spay/neuter them before adoption so they will go out on a strict contract that they will be done by 6 months of age. 
They have 2 Parvo only vaccines and will have their first Dhpp vaccine.  They have been de-wormed every 2 weeks and they are micro chipped.
Adopter will be responsible for their 2nd and 3rd Dhpp vaccine and Rabies when they are old enough.
Because they are not old enough for all 3 dhpp vaccines, they are not protected against Parvo or Distemper and will not be until they've received all 3 vaccines (14-16 weeks of age) and will not be adopted to anyone in apartment, condo or other shared yard facilities.
Someone MUST be home to raise the puppy, no exceptions.  Running home at lunch won't work, being with your other dog won't work and leaving their care to a child when they come home from school won't work. 
We do NOT adopt our dogs to children so if you are wanting a puppy for Johnny or Suzie, it's not going to work.  If you are wanting a Christmas present for someone, please go to your local shelter, we won't adopt to you. 
These are living beings, not presents, and we are looking for a LIFETIME COMMITTMENT and that means someone who can be there now and 15-20 years from now and able to care for the dog in every way from chasing a little puppy around, training them, getting property and necessary vetting done for life, feeding a GOOD diet and making the grooming commitment which can be like having another bill every other month. 

The adoption fee is $400.  Once we receive the spay or neuter certificate, we will issue a $100 refund or the puppy can be taken to our vet center to be done by our rescue if you're in or near Pierce County.
