Jeter has been adopted! 02-04-2010

Jeter's life almost ended due to bureacracy. Animal control was called to a park about a vicious dog - what they found was a goofy looking shepherd who was trying to play a game of pick up with a family and their kids. What they didn't understand was that Jeter wanted them to throw the ball to HIM! The animal control officer picked up the ball, threw it and Jeter tore after it and brought it back.

Because the call was about a "vicious" dog, the shelter put him in isolation which meant that no one from the public could see him. He's about as far from vicious as the Pillsbury dough boy is. Get yourself a ball and a park and start throwing. Jeter can't wait to meet you.

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.
