e are a Non-Profit Organization run by Volunteers
The adoption donation is used to partially recover the costs involved in rescuing. These costs include but are not limited to: Shelter fees, spay/neuter, food, housing, vaccinations, de-worming, microchip, and any vet exams or medical care that the dog may have required. We would not have been able to save the life of the dog you are interested in without the adoption donation from another that came before him/her.
All of the canines that we take in are screened for behavioral issues and health problems prior to permanent placement with their new mommies and daddies.
Behavioral screening means that we check to see if they get along with kids, the elderly, cats, dogs, and other animals. It also entails checking to see if they nip, are scared of fast movement, are jumpy, don't like to be touched in certain ways, chew excessively, etc.
Medical screening means that we have them de-wormed, current on vaccines, free of parasites and communicable disease, are treated for pre-existing conditions, and declared healthy within manageable limits.
