About this Dog
COURTESY POST FOR ANOTHER RESCUE! Pete is a less than one year old, very fancy miniature parti-poodle (white with black) who lost a leg when it was badly broken and multiple attempts to save the leg were unsuccessful, making little Pete an amputee. Pete is doing very well as a tripod and can do anything he wants to do. He is friendly, very well socialized, neutered, fully vaccinated and has been on monthly heartworm and flea prevention since he was 8 weeks old. Amputations have always been expensive, however, vet fees are now at an all time high. Saving Pete was definitely worth all the expense and extra TLC it required. This little guy is happy, healthy and well adjusted to his new reality. Pete is pain free and thriving. His tax deductible adoption fee is $1200, and does not cover his vet bill by hundreds of dollars. Please do not rake Pete's rescue over the coals about his adoption fee. It is what it is and cannot be reduced. Adoption fees have funded the rescue's efforts to save many thousands of dogs and puppies for the past 20 years. Times are hard. All rescues and shelters are in crisis, including this one. Not many people could afford Pete's fee, but there are others who could and would, who prefer to support a rescue saving lives vs paying a breeder thousands of dollars for an unvetted pup. Yes, people do it all the time and brag about it as they rant about paying hundreds for a fully vetted rescue pup. Ask a breeder what happens to the puppies not sold before being deemed not young enough, small enough or socialized enough to warrant their price tag. I have certainly had my eyes opened wide recently and it makes me sick. Thank God for rescues. Pete's medical record accompanies him....

Adopt Pete and Receive Pete's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Pete's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Pete's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Pete, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Pete's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Pete was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Pete’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Pete’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Pete’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
