Crix has been adopted! 05-04-2013
Crix is not dissimilar to other shepherds - its somewhat well known that shepherds can suffer in boarding. Crix is one of those boys and he ended up getting his stress out by chasing his tail.
He did enough damage to his tail that part of it has been amputated. He is now in a foster home with a number of other shepherds. Once he is relaxed, he won't go after his tail but this is a work in progress. His ideal home will be one that wants a dog to do a "job". He is not a typical family dog although he would be fine in a family environment provided he gets enough mental stimulation to keep him busy.
Crix is housebroken, he loves a crate, he has some level of obedience and he's good with other dogs. He's a special boy, gorgeous with a kind disposition. Plus he's a red & black boy which is somewhat rare - he's got model features!
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.
