My story

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

Meet Ross! This adorable 6-year-old Chihuahua mix was found as a stray and never reclaimed. Ross is a sweet boy who can be a bit shy in new situations, but once he feels comfortable, he opens up and loves to be held. Ross is currently managing some health issues. He recently had a mass removed from his leg, and we're awaiting biopsy results. He also has some flaky, hairless patches on his skin, which we'll treat with medicated baths once he recovers from surgery. Ross enjoys the company of calm, respectful dogs who simply want to coexist rather than play. However, he can be possessive of toys, so he would do best in a home without young children who might not understand this behavior. Ross would love a calm, quiet home to match his personality. Does he sound like a good fit for you?

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.
