Monica is an absolutely delightful, not to mention beautiful blue merle girl who, although we have no paperwork to prove it, was actually out of champion bloodlines. Like several of our shelties, she too is a bit older, but all the more reason to open up your heart and home for a sweet and deserving dog that will ask so little and give so much.
Sadly, Monica was not kept on monthly preventative and she is now ungoing treatment Heart Worms and she is less than a little happy her foster mom tells us being in jail (crate).
If you would like to sponsor Monica with a donation to her medical fund, please know we will be very grateful for your assistance. We currently are treating 3 shelties for heart worms, which not only runs into a large expense, but additional care for minimally a full month after their treatment. The link to our paypal is on our front page or address is on our address page.
Although Monica's medical expenses will easily run in access of $500 you will notice that her adoption donation/fee has been listed at a very minimal amount (of course, we'd gladly accept more) to encourage a kind soul or family to give this beyond lovely senior girl a chance to live her life out in a loving home. We can guarantee anyone that meets her that they will be the one blessed by HER presence, not the other way around. CAN YOU TELL....I'd love to keep her myself ? THE ALREADY FULL SENIOR HOUSE AUTHOR....

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.
