Drake has been adopted! 04-09-2006

Drake is an affectionate, playful, and intelligent one-year old boy. He can go find his toys on command. He knows sit and is learning down and
stay. He wants to please you and will stay focused on you with those big ears at attention while you talk to him. He loves playing catch with his
foster mates as well as with mom and dad. He is so loving and appreciative of
any affection he gets- when you pet him, he will melt onto the floor at
your feet. Drake will be rather large, probably 90 lbs or so.

Drake has made a special request that there be no kitties in his forever home. They're just way too fasciniating for this big boy. Also, Drake is barley out of his puppyhood and has been in multiple homes and the shetler. Nobody has taught him his own strength. So although he has a heart of gold, he may not be the dog to have around very small children.

With love and consistency, Drake will be a gorgeous, faithful and loving life long companion. Can you give him the forever home he craves?

A puppy of one year is a big commitment, one you need to be prepared to make for 12 to 15 years. Don't think about adopting a puppy unless you are willing to go through chewed up shoes, dug up plants and obedience and training, and making sure you'll always have a place for your canine family member.

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.
