*** PLEASE READ *** If you want to inquire about a specific SHELTIE waiting to be matched with a perfect forever family of their own, please fill out our on-line adoption application.
PROCESS OF ADOPTION:
After we have had time to review your application and check references, we will be back in touch with you. This is a totally volunteer organization; therefore please allow at least 48 hours for us to get back with you. If at that time you have NOT gotten a reply, please e-mail us as your application may not have arrived. (ALL APPLICATIONS WILL BE ACKNOWLEDGED, WHETHER APPROVED OR NOT.)
After your submitted application has been processed, references checked and approved, a HOME VISIT will be scheduled after which time arrangements will then be discussed regarding meeting your potential new family member.
Adoption fees range from $150-$275, based on the age/adoptability of each specific dog. HOWEVER, please inquire about our SENIOR SANCTUARY PROGRAM if you are open to adopting a dog in double digit years. We believe these SPECIAL individuals and families deserve even more consideration/support and we make every effort to make these adoptions a WIN WIN for both our DOG and POTENTIAL FAMILY.
**************
AS WITH ALL OUR DOGS, A SECURELY FENCED YARD IS MANDATORY. THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BE LEFT OUTDOORS WHILE NO ONE IS AT HOME TO SUPERVISE. FURTHERMORE, WE DO NOT SHIPOUR DOGS. ALL ADOPTIVE FAMILIES MUST BE WILLING TO COME HERE TO MEET THEM WITH ALL THE MEMBERS OF YOUR HOUSEHOLD, INCLUDING ANY OTHER 4 LEGGED KIDS (DOGS) TO ENSURE COMPLETE COMPATABILITY, A SUCCESSFUL ADOPTION AND A HAPPY FUTURE!
SSR also RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REFUSE ANY APPLICATION.
UPDATE: Yes, her recently pending adoption has been revised, SHE IS STILL AVAILABLE to a very special family that would like a calmer, wall flower type sheltie that would like nothing better than to sit next to her special person on the couch, relax and be doted on. Another confident (friendly) dog mandatory as she has never been an only dog. If you might be that special long time lover of this breed and would like to give back to a special girl that would prefer a lower key lifestyle, consider opening your heart and home to Addie. If you once meet her, she'll melt your heart, promise.
Addie is a pretty yet bashful 6 yr. old gorgeous female sable merle sheltie. She really enjoys being held....but it WILL take some time for her to trust her new family/person as she is a retired breeder that didn't get tons of hands on contact till now. If you are wondering about her eyes, she is not cross eyed (LOL), she has just a spec of blue in each eye which gives her a very unique look. She's walking on leash well and going places with her foster mom to get more experience being a pampered pet. Are you going to be that special someone to open your heart and home to this lil lady that deserves to be paid back for her years of service.......???
