Additional adoption info

We welcome all adopters, all experience of ownership levels, all ages above 21 years old for primary adopters, but most of all....everyone who has love to give and a home to share! There is a required adoption application so that we can make sure this is a good match for both the humans and the dog, and upon adoption approval, there is a contract. The adoption fee covers the pet's animal shelter release fee, vet check, spay or neuter, shots, heartworm test, vet records, leash, collar and transport. The fee slightly varies depending on vet needs for each individual
