Concha's story
Description of pet
Concha is a lady. At a glance you might think shes just a dog but if you watch her you will see that she has dignity and grace.
TEMPERAMENT & BEHAVIOR
In addition to being a star snuggler, Concha likes to observe and take stock in whats going on around her. At present she's living in a foster home with Yolo and 3 other dogs that provide a lot of goings on for Concha to monitor.
Concha doesn't seem to know what to do with toys, but if someone else has them, she wants one. She loves to chew. She'll be happy for hours with a big meaty bone.
Indoors when nothing much is going on, Concha is generally calm and quiet, happy to snooze the hours away. But once theres something going on, she wants to be in-the-know.
She is very alert, and will immediately let you know if someone is approaching. Although we've known plenty more yappy small dogs, Concha is not a pointless yapper, she quiets on request.
Car rides are something Concha is still getting used to. Once she finds that place where she can tuck in next to you, she rides along quite nicely.
SOCIALIZATION & TRAINING
When Concha first went to her foster home she took about a week to decompress and feel safe. During that time she preferred to stay away from the activity. After her buddy Yolo (also available for adoption) checked the place out and got acquainted with the foster family, she decided it was safe. Soon after that she was in the middle of the action, asking for her share of the attention.
She is playful and friendly with other dogs and will back down to a dominant dog, but she's not a pushover. She is aware of her place in the pack and will not hesitate to hold her place.
Indoors, Concha is polite and calm. She hasn't displayed any destructive habits, and doesn't steal or get into trash. She's comfortable in a crate - and actually likes having her own private space. Potty training is still a work in progress, however. Concha is always eager to get outside when invited to take a potty break, but she does still have accidents inside.
HEALTH
When we evaluated Concha she showed most of the signs of poor quality nutrition, including dry coat and heavy tartar. Her condition has improved steadily since she entered foster care. Her teeth are now clean, and her coat is soft.
Concha has been sterilized, fully vaccinated, microchipped, and treated for internal and external parasites. All her available healthcare records will be provided at the time of adoption.
HISTORY
Concha is one of 27 dogs and puppies HART removed from a hoarding situation in late May. Some of the dogs had been picked up as strays or adopted from various sources, but most were born on the property. They lived together in a fenced yard. None was sterilized and the females bred without restriction from their first heat. Most of the puppies were sold by another family member. Puppies received their first two puppy shots and were kept indoors until weaning. The dogs ate poor quality kibble (Alpo or Old Roy) and table scraps, but they had plenty of it and were all in reasonable condition.
When we evaluated these dogs, most of them were poorly socialized and anxious, but none had been abused. We placed them in foster homes, and within just a few weeks they have all proved to be affectionate, loving little dogs with the potential to be wonderful companions. It's important to note that none of them has ever been alone, and they would probably be happiest sharing a home with another friendly dog, or as their human's close companion.
ADOPTION

Please note that HART does not have a facility. Our dogs live in foster homes, and are not available to meet potential adopters until after their adoption application has been approved.
If you are interested in adopting Concha, please email HearthfireART@gmail.com and request an adoption application. Our application process includes an online background check, vet interview, landlord/property manager interview (if in rental property), and interviews with personal references, other adults living on the property, and the applicant. Depending on various factors we may require a home check. This process usually takes about one week to complete.
Most of our dogs are located in the Tri-Cities, Washington area, and if necessary we will transport them anywhere within the Pacific Northwest, at the adopter's expense. We do not ship our dogs via a third party; they are handed directly from a trusted HART representative to the adopter.
