9. Amaya

Adult · Female · French Bulldog (short coat) · 28 mi from Dixon

The merle Frenchie is available for adoption she is not pregnant and has pretty much completely dried up... Another doop on us. She will not have the special adoption fee since the person charged $450 for each one and will need special spay for flat faced dogs. She does well w all people she's even good w Kendra aka Boo who is like 5 lbs she runs from my big dogs and she does have her bursts of energy. She does use pee pads I haven't taken her outside a lot due to the heat and humidity right now. They said she was only having one pup, I guess that's a way to get away and get into a home . She is almost three years of age. ADOPTION FEE $650 WHICH COVERS WHAT WE SPENT AND HER SPAY RABIES ETC.

Adopting a dog in Dixon

Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.

Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.

Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
