Hondo has been adopted! 05-17-2007

Meet Hondo. He was found as a stray in the high desert. His owners were contacted but never came to get him, instead letting him languish for weeks in a high-kill animal shelter. Luckily for Hondo, one of our volunteers came to the shelter to look at another dog and decided to take a stroll around the rest of the cages. When she saw Hondo, she just couldn't resist, even though it meant an additional trip to the desert the following week.

Hondo appears to be young, probably around 12 - 18 months old. He's a stunning red and black male. He seems to get along with other big dogs.

We'll post more information when we get to know him better.

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.
