Scratch has been adopted! 01-01-2006

One of our adopters heard of Scratch's plight - he had been abandoned in a backyard after the owners had moved.

We realize that Scratch isn't a German Shepherd. But one look at this little guy and we had to help! He's maybe ... a ... husk-herd. Common, you can see it!

Scratch is about 4 mos old and, not surprisingly, he loves everyone. At his first (and only) adoption event, one of Oceanside's finest came to visit all the dogs and he christened him Scratch. We had to agree with the police, of course!

Scratch is a baby and a 10-15 year commitment - if you are willing to put the time and energy into raising and training a puppy (and we never say there's no terrier in there!) to become a good canine citizen, then please fill out an application.

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.
