LUCY came into our program with her companion Preston when their owner was no longer able to provide for their care. We are told they are about 7 years old. After much needed dentals, they would love to find a home (TOGETHER) that will appreciate them for the wonderful shelties and companions they are. Both are very overweight after being fed a poor quality and unlimited amount of kibble, but are still quite active; therefore, we will want their adopter to follow through with additional monitoring on their diets and provide the additional exercise they need to eliminate those extra pounds.
*** 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. FURTHERMORE, WE DO NOT SHIPOUR DOGS. ALL AOPTIVE 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 RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REFUSE ANY APPLICATION.
