I've learned I like napping in my foster dad's arms. Meal time is one of my favorite times of the day. And did I mention I'm doing great at potty training and I can climb stairs like a mountain goat. I would love to be part of a forever home. Pick me...pick me.Cherry is a 6 year old female ShihTzu who is just starting to learn what "the good life" is. She is a very curious, petite female that loves running in her new, big, fenced yard. She is doing well with potty training and will have it down very soon. Toys and treats are still a mystery to her but she is eager to learn. Cherry is not really a cuddle bug. Sitting on your lap is not her first choice. She would rather be sniffing and exploring this new, large world.Cherry has just begun her journey to become a house pet, she does require a fenced yard. My adoption fee helps cover all of my vetting needs such as HW test, rabies, DHPPL, Bordetella, spay, dental and microchipping.

Adopt Cherry and Receive Cherry'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, Cherry's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Cherry's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Cherry, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Cherry'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 Cherry was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Cherry’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Cherry’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, Cherry’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!
