My story

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

RUFINA is an adorable (per today 11/14) 3 months old Chow/shepherd/Australian kelpie mix (Father is Chowchow, Mother is Shepherd Kelpie mix) that will be coming to WA (Orcas Island, where ADR.org is located) via transport in the Thanksgiving week .

Mother and father were in a CA shelter (Monterey) and were on the euthanization list because to the wildfires in August in CA, the shelter was regularly putting down dogs to "make room for other dogs”.
The puppies (7) were born in freedom at the boarding facility in CA on 8/29.

She will be joined by Kylo (male), Aisha (female) and Enzo (male). Remaining Gina (female) and Benito (male) will be coming to WA before Xmas, too.

The founder of ADR.org living on Orcas island, WA will host the "crew" until the one and only home is found.

ADR.org will have a thorough adoption process and will need the potential adopter to come and meet the Founder F2F and can then at the same time of course meet the puppies.

Prior to a meeting, an adoption application will need to be filled out, photos (yourself, your family, other dogs or cats you might have) will need to be sent and a phone call to get to know you better will happen.
And ADR.org can send videos to you, and photos of Mom and Dad.

ADR.org would like to eventually have each dog go into a home with another adult dog that will further take the puppy under his/her wings. The puppies can also be adopted in a pair.
Fully grown the possible weight will be around 40lbs.

if you are interested in any of the puppies, please email ADR.org to this email address: ADR@animaldefenserescue.org to get an application and get the process started.
All puppies are fully vaccinated, except for Rabies vaccination that can only be given when they are 4months and above.
They are also not altered yet because they are way too young.
One of the conditions for an adoption will be that the adopter agrees to deliver the alteration certificate to ADR.org.
WOOFLY YOURS,
RUFINA
