Mars was being held at a small shelter who had to start euthanizing in order to make room. We pulled them out and housed them here at the SPCA to give them their best chance at finding forever homes. Mars likes to run, run, run - she wouldn't stay still long enough for us to take pictures! If you're looking for an energetic, fun pup who's always looking for adventure, Mars is perfect for you!

The adoption fee covers the spay/neuter surgery, rabies vaccination, basic vaccinations, microchipping, and care. All basic vaccinations will be current at the time of adoption.
A potential adopter is required to fill out an adoption application which includes information regarding their home environment, current/prior pets, etc. We also require them to provide at least 2 references. A volunteer will review the application, contact the references, and provide information regarding the specific pet they are interested in adopting. If we receive a favorable response when we contact the references, the potential adopter is then required to complete the actual adoption contract. We encourage communication by email. Due to our limited staff, our office is only open part-time, but we will return all phone calls as soon as possible.
