Radar has been adopted! 11-15-2008

Radar needs surgery to repair dislocated bones in his foot. He was found by a good samaritan hanging from a fence with his entire body weight hinging on his caught foot. He was given emergency treatment and is in a splint. Radar needs surgery asap to repair the damage so he can walk again. The prognosis is good, if he has the surgery soon.

Radar is only a year old and deserves to have a long, healthy life ahead of him! Please help us raise the funds to save his leg. Any amount will help!

Update 9/14/08:

Here is an update for Radar:
Radar is a beaultiful and stunning white shepherd who is ready to find his forever family. He is incredibly sweet and funny to boot! After all that he has been through - injury, surgery, boring crate rest- he has been so sweet, happy and resiliant.

Radar is healing very well from his surgery and loves to chew on his queaky toys, play with his foster brothers and sisters, and, well, chew more toys! He loves to sit at our feet when we work or watch TV and chew his toys and rawhides. He has learned to sit and lay down on command, too.

He is still a puppy in many ways and creates games to keep himself entertained. He tosses up a toy and stalks it, pushes it under the couch, barks at it to come back out, and snaps it up if it does not obey! Too cute!

In about a week, Radar will have the pins removed from his leg and will be ready to get back into the swing of things. He is looking forward to going on walks and strengthening his muscles. He hopes to have a family soon to call his own. HE loves all people, even kids, but might be a bit too rambuntious with smaller children. Radar is still frustrated with cats - so a no cat household would be best.

He will do best in an active home where he can run and play every day, preferably with a doggie pal or two or with a family member at home to hang out with him.

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.
