A Pet Adoption/Foster Program, scheduled for April 18 from 10 am to 4 pm, is being sponsored by the Social Justice Ministry and held at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Oak Cliff, 3839 W. Kiest Blvd., Dallas. On hand with the available pets will be Kritters Looking for Homes (KLH) and Chihuahua Rescue & Transport (CRT). http://www.oakcliffuu.org/action.shtml
KLH is a small local rescue organization whose pets come from shelters, as strays, or are abandoned, abused, neglected and/or left at Parker Animal & Bird Clinic as unwanted or unable to care for their pet. Adoption fee depends on the pet with cats at $50 and dogs at $200. Dogs and Cats require a home visit and vet references. All pets require a consultation regarding care and management.
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder? When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes.
Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group. https://www.facebook.com/kritterslookingforhomes; http://www.adoptapet.com/adoption_rescue/79493.html
CRT, a 501(c)3 nonprofit, is a national foster-based rescue group that places Chihuahuas and Chihuahua mixes in approved homes. Our purpose is to extend public education and awareness regarding abuse and neglect. We have placed hundreds of Chihuahuas and Chihuahua mixes in approved homes. CRT requires an application, vet check, reference check and home visit for each adopter.
CRT does not warehouse dogs in a shelter. As in most rescue groups, our dogs are cared for in healthy, safe, loving foster home environments. CRT foster parents work very hard to be sure that their foster dog feels safe and loved while working on housetraining, crate training, socialization, etc.
All their dogs are spayed/neutered, fully vaccinated, heartworm tested, fecal tested, microchipped, on heartworm preventative and have all other veterinary needs taken care of (such as heartworm treatment, dentals, luxating patellas, etc.) CRT is known, and has always been known, for taking the injured, infirm and elderly Chihuahuas and Chihuahua mixes. Please consider the adoption of one of these dogs as well. Seniors and special needs dogs make great pets too!
“We are dedicated to rescue, adoption and the medical care of stray and homeless Chihuahuas in need, and to help control the growing overpopulation through spaying and neutering all dogs in our care. http://www.chihuahua-rescue.org/ https://www.facebook.com/CuteChihuahuas
