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
Scrappy's Foster Mom says: On a nasty and bone-chilling cold rainy February 2010 day, a call came to me that there was a senior papillon just one day away from getting the needle. So, a fellow pap911 member and I drove to the shelter to pull who we now know as "Scrappy". Scrappy is a 14y/o neutered male sable papillon, about 13 pounds now, who was an owner surrender because they were moving and didn't want to take him.
Scrappy needed a dental badly, and that is the first thing we took care of. He is nearly deaf, and his eye site is not what it once was. His back legs don't always work in unison, but they still get him where he needs to be...just slower. He loves car rides and will walk for miles with his head and tail held high and proud for all to see!
He is the perfect picture of a grumpy old man, knowing his seniority allows him the best bed in the place and earns him loving forgiveness for an occasional accident or startled grumble. When he's had enough, 2 hoarse sounding barks lets everyone know to knock it off! He has the most beautiful coat, ears and fringe, and one ear droops and frames his precious face.
Scrappy should never have been dumped at an animal control shelter. He should have had family around him in his sunshine years. Fortunately, Pap 911 Rescue puts a lot of value on our senior butterflies and he has had the vetting and care he deserves. We hope he will be chosen to spend quality quiet time with someone who loves him for the proud beautiful butterfly that he is. We know he is safe and loved forever.
