Red has been adopted! 01-01-2006

Meet Red! Red is a very happy, male shepherd (perhaps a mix). He is youthful both in action and appearance, estimated to be two years old, very likely younger. Red has a tan/reddish body with a traditional shepherd profile.

Red was found as a stray by one of our volunteers. They put up signs and tried to find Red's owner, but none could be found. We suspect Red was dropped off by his owners - no collar or tags. This happens all the time.

We have had Red a very short time and are getting to know him, but he appears to be very friendly with other dogs and desires a playmate. He jumped into our volunteer's vehicle and started kissing all the occupants. He seems to have a great disposition. He is slightly underweight, but with a little TLC, will be back to his ideal weight in no time.

In addition to the attraction to other dogs, he has a high ball drive - he plays fetch and performs most commands (sit, down, etc.). It appears that Red had a home at some point in time, as he is very comfortable with people.

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.
