Sammy has been adopted! 01-01-2007

Sammy is a 3 mo old spitfire who has proven to be pretty tough when the going gets rough. She and her brothers contracted parvo in the shelter which we were able to treat aggressively and early to help them get through that deadly disease but 10 days later, her sniffles turned into pneumonia and she was hospitalized on IVs for seven days. She's been out of the hospital for two weeks now and has gained much needed weight.

She is now a typical 3 mo old puppy, with a strong tendency to eat electrical cords, steal shoes and harass her big foster brothers and sisters. She is quite bright, learning how to potty outside is an ongoing lesson of course, but she loves to explore her yard and house to see what sort of mischief she can get into! Sammy is a brave girl too, standing up to adult dogs and happy to play with them too!

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.
