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 www.collarofhope.org to read all information about our puppies, rescue, adoption process and to submit our adoption application.  All of our information does not transfer to the adoption sites.

ZEN came to us with his 2 brothers Zak and Zed who look nothing like him as they are blonde scruffy terriers.  Zen looks like a shih tzu mix.  We do not know his breed but whomever adopts him needs to be prepared for a grooming bill for his entire life if it turns out he is in fact a hair dog rather than just a medium length fur dog (cannot tell when babies and they have a puppy coat).  Right now, his coat is wavy and fluffy (and no, we do not know if he's hypoallergenic) 
Someone must be home to raise him and have a securely fenced yard (he does not have all vaccines yet so no apartments).  He is playful and fairly energetic so if you're seeking a squishy lap dog, he's not that now and we don't know if he will be a couple years down the road when he's an adult.  

Puppies that are not old enough to have received all 3 puppy DHPP vaccines will not be adopted to anyone in apartment or condo residents as they are not protected against parvo or distemper until they've received all 3 vaccines.

Our puppies are or will be neutered, micro-chipped, vaccinated age appropriate, de-wormed and parasite treated/prevented throughout their time with CoH as a foster puppy.
The puppy will be vaccinated according to their age and will need additional vaccinations depending on their age.

Vaccine Protocol is as follows:
DHPP series of 3 are needed and puppies are not protected against parvo or distemper until they're received ALL 3 vaccines.
Bordetella 12 weeks of age
Rabies 4-6 months of age

Good with Adults, Somewhat vocal, Requires a yard, Playful, Affectionate
