My story

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

**** Courtesy Post: Ginny is a 1 year old German Shepherd found as a stray, very terrified of her surroundings. She is starting to regain her puppy nature with the help of a squeaky toy. She is potty trained but hasn't shown any knowledge of basic commands. She is wary of other dogs and cats but she is learning that they are friends. She is mostly a timid cuddle bug that needs a big strong man to feel safe. Okay with kids that respect her boundaries. Untested with ages younger than 5. Would do great in a home with low levels of activity to start with that can encourage her activity level slowly. Will eventually need daily exercise and training.

Ginny is spayed, fully vaccinated, and microchipped. Her adoption fee of $250 helps offset medical fees. If you live in the Phoenix metro area and think Ginny could be the right fit for you, please complete an adoption application at: https://www.helpadogsmile.org/adoption-application/ .

*Please note that the application is not a commitment to adopt–it is a tool used to help determine if a dog and applicant would make a good match. Applications are forwarded to the finder of Ginny for review and follow-up.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Adoption is a lifetime commitment. After an application and a verbal interview is completed and it is determined that the adoption is a compatible match, a contract is signed with specific guidelines. An adoption fee (usually between $250-$500) to help off-set medical, feeding and Rescue costs is collected. The contract states that at any time the adoption does not work out, the dog is to be returned to our Rescue group for alternate placement. The dog is not to be 'given away' or 'rehomed' or 'taken to the pound'. If there are other dogs in the home, they must meet prior to adoption. All family members in the household have to agree to the adoption. No dog is to be adopted as a 'gift'. No out of state adoptions.
