My story

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

Meet Ruthie! Ruthie is a 3-year-old Collie mix that was recently surrendered back to us after being in a home for almost a year. She is still the sweet, loving girl we remember her to be! She walks gently on the leash and is a total lovebug! She could spend all day rubbed up against you getting all the scratchies possible! Ruthie can take treats a bit hard, so we do recommend older children just to avoid any accidental nips of the fingers. She is already house-trained and has done well with other dogs! Unfortunately, we did find out she is heartworm positive, but we will be covering the costs of her treatment! She is the perfect family companion and can't wait to show her future family what a good girl she is!

Additional adoption info

PUPPIES

Any dog that is younger than 1 year old is considered a puppy. They come with age-appropriate vaccines, are dewormed, microchipped, on heartworm preventative, and if age allows spay/neutered. If they are not old enough to have the procedure done, we do require a $100 deposit which is refunded once the surgery is done. We require the spay/neuter to be done at 6 months and can schedule it at one of our vets if you wish to not use your own vet. If you do decide to go to your own vet, once proof of procedure is done, a refund can be issued. Puppy adoption fees are $350 + $100 refundable deposit.

ADULTS

Adult dogs are dogs that are ages 1 – 6 years old. They come with vaccinations (Bordetella, Rabies, Distemper), are dewormed, on heartworm prevention, microchipped, heartworm tested, and spay/neutered. Upon intake, they also have an initial wellness exam to screen for any pre-existing conditions. Their adoption fee is $300.

SENIORS

Senior dogs are dogs that are 7 years old and up. They come with vaccinations (Bordetella, Rabies, Distemper), are dewormed, on heartworm prevention, microchipped, heartworm tested, and if age allows spay/neutered. Upon intake, they also have an initial wellness exam to screen for any pre-existing conditions. Their adoption fee is $100.
