Rikki has been adopted! 12-02-2012

Rikki came to us VERY pregnant, so sick with kennel cough she sounded like a two pack a day smoker, skinny and full of ticks but with the sweetest disposition. You'd think that a dog in her condition would be a little grumpy (I know I would be) but she ate, took her medicine and allowed her foster mom to nurse her back to health. The vet thought we had a week or two before the puppies were due; three days later we were in labor and four healthy boys arrived.

Rikki was not house broken but she followed her foster siblings lead and had it down pat in a few days. Today, Rikki is a healthy 60 pound, petite young lady who will be an amazing dog in a home with small children and another dog or two. She loves to cuddle with the humans and play with all of the other animals in the house. If her foster family didn't already have enough dogs, she'd have become a permanent member already!

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.
