Gretchen has been adopted! 06-23-2012
Gretchen, at about 5 years old, was passed over time & again in the shelter. Her time was finally up and we were able to help her. She is well behaved on a leash - she's not so keen about a crate at adoption events. So she gets to spend the bulk of her time on walks and meeting and interacting with other dogs and families. She's good with dogs, great on a leash, able to keep up with an active family. Along the lines that Gretch probably has kept up her flexibility exercises, her supporters report that she has amazing talents - she can catch just about anything, anywhere you throw it and would probably excel at agility work. She loves her kennel buddies and just has an all around good time!
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.
