Guinness has been adopted! 05-03-2008

Guinness is a fluffball with a very happy personality. When he sees you after a long day at work, he "smiles" like crazy - he rolls his lips back for a full view of his pearly whites! He can be a little shy but living in a foster home is doing wonders for his confidence. He loves to sneak up on the couch overnight and he enjoys a good rawhide.

Guinness gets along great with other dogs - he doesn't really play with them but he coexists very peacefully.

Update from Guinness' foster family:

Guinness is an easy family addition! It took him about a week to realize that he was SUPPOSED to be part of the inside family and that the floors weren't going to open up and swallow him! Now that he has gotten over his initial fear of the inside of the house, he has made himself at home!!! He LOVES to curl up in a chair and sleep. Guinness is a perfect example of how a little patience can result in a whole lot of reward for the love he has to give. Guinness is thrilled when you give him the slightest bit of attention but he isn't obsessive - he is just happy to spend time by your side and give you a big grin and a wag of the tail whenever a human looks his way. Guinness is housebroken, doesn't dig, doesn't chew, barks when he has to - he's a true gem of a boy and would be a wonderful addition to any family

The minimum adoption donation for adults is $375 and the adoption donation for puppies is $500. This amount only partially covers the cost of veterinary care, boarding fees, and other miscellaneous expenses involved in the temporary care and adoption of our dogs and is tax deductible when permitted by law. The adoption donation provides that all dogs will be spayed or neutered, receive current vaccinations, and are microchipped. If not, arrangements will be made on an individual basis ( i.e., puppies who will need to be altered by 6 mos old). Special consideration may be given to those willing to adopt older dogs or dogs with physical problems.
