About this Dog
Meet Ivy a.k.a June Bug.... This sweet girl was rescued from an unstable situation and is just as sweet as she can be. She was surrendered to the rescue by her owner, who loves her but is an addict and can not properly care for her or himself. Ivy was living tied to a tree outside a dilapidated trailer with no power or running water, and an animal advocate in the community became aware of the situation and wanted to help her. Initially, we supplied her with food and fresh water and planned to provide a source of shelter, but as we became more aware of the situation, we knew we had to get her out. Ivy’s owner was leaving her tied out unspayed, unprotected, and was often gone for long periods. Dogs are roaming in the community that could harm her and she would be unable to get away. She also recently had a litter of puppies, and we don’t want that to happen again. The owner needed some convincing to let her go, but with an upcoming court appearance and prior record, there's a chance he could be incarcerated. He made the unselfish decision to do what is best for her, and because he let her go she will have a better life. Ivy came into our care with a few surface wounds, covered in fleas, and both were easily addressed. She’s since been spayed and had all her shots. Thankfully she was negative for heartworm and is in overall good health, and she's been doing great in her foster home for a few weeks now. Once she had a little time to mourn the loss of her person and acclimate, her sweet, fun personality reemerged. She’s a very social girl with moderate energy and has good house manners. She’s good with other dogs, cats, and young kids too! We checked in with her foster mom, Kim, for an update: “Ivy is super friendly! She’s a couch potato and champion cuddle partner. She is totally housetrained, crate-trained, and not destructive at all. I don’t feel the need to crate her. She walks well on leash and only pulls a little when it’s time to meet a new best friend - human or dog. She may work in a butt wag and happy dance when she meets someone new. I had her at the vet yesterday for a booster shot and she did great. Ivy is very smart too and already knows 'sit,' 'stay,' 'shake' and 'leave it.' I have two cats and she has been face to face with them, ears up and tail wagging. No growling or lunging. She plays with toys now and sometimes likes to wrestle. She’s definitely a Velcro dog. I think she knows we saved her so she’s a pleaser. Rides great in a car. Very kid-friendly. My 5-year-old granddaughter loves her too!” Awesome dog alert! Ivy is an ambassador for her bully breed. We are looking for a loving family to give this very good girl the life she deserves. Apply today!

Adopt Ivy and Receive Dogecoin
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Ivy's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised. Dogecoin is digital currency that can be exchanged for cash, traded, or held as an investment (see the "What is Dogecoin" section below).
0.0 DOGE is Ivy's current Dogecoin balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. If you adopted the Ivy, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Ivy's Dogecoin here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the Dogecoin by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Ivy was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Ivy’s Dogecoin balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
"The fun and friendly internet currency."
Dogecoin sets itself apart from other digital currencies with an amazing, vibrant community made up of friendly folks just like you. Dogecoin is a decentralized, peer-to-peer digital currency that enables you to easily send money online.
Learn more about it on youtube or at dogecoin.com.
We want the Ivy’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Ivy’s balance will remain in our general Dogecoin fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
