My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:


This dog's fosterhome is located in: Norton, Kansas

Here is Sportster (or "Sport," as he is usually called). He is a handsome guy of 1-2 years old, and about 15 pounds with the cutest button ears, which tip more on one side than the other. Sport is a happy little clown who enjoys being near people but has trouble sitting still on a lap...he keeps trying to kiss necks, hands, arms, and faces! When he gets done kissing he is able to sit more quietly. He likes being brushed and petted so will hold still if he's getting this pleasant attention. Sport is a non-dominant dog. As such, he is at the bottom of the pack in his foster home, so he gets picked on by all the boys. One of his foster sisters plays very well with him, though, and he loves this activity. He loves a good romp and would enjoy having doggy siblings as long as they were not real dominant. Sport doesn't know what to think of cats; he would probably chase a runner but if the cat just stands there he is a bit intimidated. He is fine with children over age 5, but has not been exposed to younger children.


OUR ADOPTION FEE is $150 ($175 for puppies younger than 12 months; $200 for American Hairless Terriers).

IS THIS DOG AVAILABLE? If the bio above doesn't say that there's an adoption pending, then YES! he or she IS available. As soon as we approve an application, we'll post it, so you will NOT get more current info by emailing us to ask if the dog is available. To "get in line" to adopt or get more details, you MUST CLICK HERE to submit an Adoption Application.


QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS DOG?
The email address on this page is for website-related issues ONLY. For answers to specific questions about a particular dog, you MUST submit an Adoption Application! That is the only way to access the fosterparent for this particular dog, who is the only person who can answer specifics about this dog's personality or geographic location. (Our dogs are located in private fosterhomes around the state, and we do not provide those addresses on the Internet or to casual inquiries, and you cannot just "drop by" to see a dog without prearranging it with the fosterhome.) Because we are an all-volunteer organization and receive a very high volume of inquiries, we can only respond personally to people who have demonstrated a serious interest in adoption by filling out our application.
