Most of our Papillons are adopted as close as possible to their foster homes. Each foster parent gives their heart and love to the butterflies in their care and it is hard to part with them. If you are interested in a Papillon that is not in your home state, you may still send an application, however, every effort is first made to place the dogs within a reasonable distance. We request that the applicant is willing to come to the home to meet the dog and to be sure the match is a good one.

While not all homes are suitable for the physically and emotionally fragile dogs that come into our rescue, we tend to have more people willing to rescue our Papillons than we have dogs available. We are grateful for the kindness of so many people. There may be a delay in finding the right dog for you, and each application is carefully scrutinized. It may take 2 weeks or more before you hear from someone in our volunteer organization.

Our adoption guidelines are stated preceeding the application page. Please read them carefully. Any transportation expenses are the full responsibility of the adopter. Suggested adoption donation:

For healthy dogs up to two years of age: $350-$450
For healthy dogs between the ages of two and six:$ 250-$350
For healthy dogs between the ages of six and nine: $150-$250
Geriatric or "special needs" dogs: donation is set on a case-by-case basis

Description:
Chirp came in on a puppy mill transport from MO. Obviously sick and emaciated, she still displays the Papillon spirit. After consutations with vets and several tests, she has been diagnosed with 'pancreatic insufficeincy' - her pancreas does not make digestive enzymes, so food is not nurishment. It just passes right through her.

On 8-21-09, Chirp started taking pancreatic enzymes and her treats will be home made dehydrated pancreas - YUM! With this therapy her doctor thinks she will soon be a normal dog. We are keeping our fingers crossed.

Chirp will not be available for adoption at this time, but her tests have been expensive and her medicine is also costly.
She could use your help!
