Ruger has been adopted! 08-26-2011
Ruger is a solid guy with a bright mind. He was a big hit at his first adoption event and got to spend lots of time running in a park with some volunteers. He catches on quickly, walks pretty well on a leash although no one has ever taught him to sit. We think he's over 2 and under 4. Properly introduced to other dogs, he is fine with them. He was found running stray on a beach with other dogs so we know he can cohabitate with others. Ruger is the kind of shepherd that makes people stop in their tracks and admire their beauty. He has a confident, friendly air about him.
The minimum adoption donation for adults is $375 and the adoption donation for puppies is $500. This amount only partially covers the cost of veterinary care, boarding fees, and other miscellaneous expenses involved in the temporary care and adoption of our dogs and is tax deductible when permitted by law. The adoption donation provides that all dogs will be spayed or neutered, receive current vaccinations, and are microchipped. If not, arrangements will be made on an individual basis ( i.e., puppies who will need to be altered by 6 mos old). Special consideration may be given to those willing to adopt older dogs or dogs with physical problems.
