Meet Eloise

Meet Eloise, a precious soul born around December 6, 2020, and weighing a delicate 12 pounds. Eloise's journey is a testament to resilience, having come from an illegal puppy mill that has since been shut down. Despite her challenging past, Eloise is a sweet and gentle spirit yearning for the love and understanding she truly deserves.

Due to the lack of human socialization in the puppy mill, Eloise can initially be nervous around humans. However, beneath the initial shyness lies a heart ready to blossom with trust and affection. Eloise is a special pup who would thrive in a calm and understanding home, surrounded by a loving family willing to provide her with the patience and care she needs.

Eloise's love for other dogs shines brightly, making her an excellent candidate for a home with another canine companion. The presence of a furry friend can offer her comfort and companionship, helping her transition into a new and caring environment more smoothly.

In a quiet and nurturing home, Eloise is poised to transform into the wonderful companion she was meant to be. With time, love, and gentle guidance, she is sure to overcome her initial reservations and become a loyal and affectionate member of your family.

Choosing Eloise as a part of your household means not only offering her a second chance at a happy life but also gaining a loyal companion who will reciprocate your love with unwavering devotion. As Eloise continues to heal and trust, you'll witness the transformation of a once timid pup into a source of joy and comfort in your home.

If you're ready to open your heart and home to a pup in need, consider welcoming Eloise into your family. She awaits a patient and understanding family who will provide her with the love and care she deserves, ensuring that her journey forward is filled with warmth, security, and the companionship she craves.

I’M INTERESTED IN THIS DOG/CAT, WHAT DO I DO NEXT?
————————————————————————————————————————

We're excited that you've found a dog or cat you're interested in! To help streamline the adoption process and ensure we have the necessary information about potential adopters, please follow these steps:

1. Understand the Difference: Submitting an inquiry on Petfinder is not the same as applying for the dog or cat. Inquiries provide us with minimal information about the potential adopter, making it challenging for us to evaluate suitability.

2. Submit an Application: We kindly ask that you submit an adoption application on our website to be considered for adoption. Please choose the appropriate application link below based on whether you are interested in adopting a dog or cat:

~ Apply here (CAT): https://davincisdream.org/cat-adoption/

3. Be Patient: Keep in mind that we are a volunteer-based organization, and we receive a high number of inquiries and applications. Due to these constraints, we may not be able to respond to every inquiry individually. However, submitting an application provides us with the necessary information to consider you as a potential adopter.



TRANSPORTS
——————————

We are based in Columbia, KY, and extend our services to other locations through our transport program. To ensure the safe and responsible transport of our animals, we currently only transport dogs to two specific destinations: Greenwood, IN, and Wilmington, OH.

To be eligible for transport, dogs/cats must meet specific criteria:

1. Approved Application: You will need to submit an adoption application for the animal and receive approval. Please also note that clicking the "I'm Interested" button on PetFinder is not an application. To start the adoption process, you need to fill out an application on our website.

2. Deposit Paid: A deposit must be paid as part of the adoption process.

3. Transport Contract Signed: The potential adopter must sign a transport contract, indicating their commitment to meet the dog on the designated date.

The 'Transport' label next to each animal's name signifies that this animal is available for transport, but please remember that this transport service is exclusively for dogs that meet the above criteria. This ensures the safety and well-being of the animals throughout the journey.

For more information about our transport process, please visit our website here: https://davincisdream.org/transport/



FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS) FOR OUR DOG LISTINGS
———————————————————————————————————————————————

Before reaching out to us, please take a moment to review these frequently asked questions. We strive to provide you with all the information you need right here. Please understand that due to the high volume of inquiries, we may not be able to respond to questions covered in this FAQ section.

1. Are your dogs potty trained?

Unless the dog's bio specifically states that they are potty trained, you can assume they are not. Many of our rescue dogs come from challenging circumstances and may not have been exposed to housetraining. Housetraining is typically the responsibility of the adopter.

2. Do you transport to other locations?

Currently, we only transport to Wilmington, Ohio, and Greenwood, Indiana.

3. Is this cat/dog still available?

If the cat or dog is listed on Petfinder and does not have an "adoption pending" tag on the website, we are still accepting applications. However, please be aware that we often receive multiple applications for each animal.

4. How long does it take to hear back about my application?

It can take up to 10 days to receive a response from us. If you do not hear back within this timeframe, please understand that we may have chosen not to move forward with your application. We are a volunteer-based organization and, while we read every application, we may not be able to respond to each one individually.

Thank you for your interest in adopting one of our fur babies and for taking the time to review these FAQs. Your support and understanding of our processes are greatly appreciated as we work tirelessly to find loving homes for our rescue animals.
