Rory has been adopted! 10-30-2010

Neighbors were horrified to realize that their former neighbors left their beautiful German Shepherd in the back yard when they moved. It wouldn't have been so bad if they knew immediately, but for two weeks, Rory lived quietly waiting for someone to come and get her. She tore apart the sprinkler lines to get water.

We cannot believe that yet another family does this to a living breathing creature. Its incomprehensible to us. Yet it continues to happen every day. Meet Rory once and you will forever be her fan. She is a gentle soul with a beautiful inner & outer beauty. Her current condition doesn't give you a hint as to her previous state. She is great with other dogs, loves people and deserves to be a truly cherished family member. We've been told that Rory is about 5 years old.

Update 10/01/10

From Rory's foster family - we cannot say enough wonderful things about Rory. She is housebroken, prefers to sleep outside of a crate, enjoys meeting Coastal alumni in her neighborhood and lives with a kitty. She rarely barks and is one of those steady eddie dogs that any family will be lucky to have join their pack.

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.
