Ritzy Rescue and Posh Puppy are programs created by LOA Foothill to rehome the surplus dogs that are the inevitable result of puppy mills. Puppy mills discard adult dogs when they are no longer useful for breeding purposes and will frequently overextend their operations to the point where they have to get rid of puppies quickly. While we don't condone the puppy mill's operations, we do rescue the dogs that are no longer of any use to them. Ritzy Rescue works to find homes for retired breeders. These dogs have good bloodlines , meet breed standards and would sell for anywhere from $400 to $1500 through the breeders. Applicants who meet our strict screening criteria will be able to adopt them for a donation of $200. Posh Puppy features purebred puppies less than six months of age. They will be available to qualified adopters for a donation of$250. These dogs are no more worthy than our wonderful mixed breed rescue dogs, but we do recognize the demand for them. The increased donation fees help fund our non-profit, all volunteer rescue group. Our major expenses are food and veterinary care and even with the generosity of the community and the revenues from our standard adoption programs we struggle to make ends meet. Please support our rescue by adopting instead of buying from a breeder. If you are interested in providing a loving home for a Ritzy Rescue, please complete an online application and then email BJ at cvrr@verizon.net. We will only respond to inquiries from individuals who have successfully completed the application. Thank you.

MacTavish and Bonnie Doon were a breeding pair from a puppy mill. They have lived their entire lives in kennels, breeding at every heat cycle. Yes- I know they are naked! Their coats were in such bad condition there was no salvaging anything. It will grow out and they will look fabulous in no time.
Please- do your research on the breed before you apply. They are terriers- very active and very smart- they chase cats and other small animals. They will require regular grooming.
