Rachel has been adopted! 01-01-2013
Rachel came to us from the Devore shelter on her last day. Her situation was close to hopeless as she has crumpled ears that came complete with ear infections but we looked beyond those ears and saw soulful eyes and a sweet disposition. Rachel is in a foster home with numerous other dogs and she does great with all of them. She sometimes tries to pull a quick one and "guard" the water bowl but one correction from the 2 legged thing in the house and her response is almost "darn it, you caught me, I'm just kidding!". Rachel is housebroken, quiet, allowed to be inside the house uncrated when unsupervised. She is probably somewhere between 3 - 4 years old - its hard to tell as her ears were allowed to become so damaged that they make her look older than she probably is. Rachel is a low - medium energy girl. She'd be a great dog for a first time shepherd adopter or someone working full time looking for a buddy. She isn't needy at all but she sure loves a good solid head or butt scratch.
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.
