Meet Calico - adopted!
This information is current - when you email you can rest assured we will email back within 24hrs., but usually within an hour of receiving your email! **The rescue support donation is not for the 'purchase' of a dog, but rather to cover the medical and other costs of all dogs in our care. Shelter support donations are NOT NEGOTIABLE for that reason. Please respect that and do not email us to ask. Without ongoing support and adoption fees, our rescue WILL CEASE TO EXIST!
These dogs are in foster homes, not a shelter setting; therefore we only accept appointments for those reasonably sure they WILL adopt the dog for which they are applying.
At A Glance: Meet Calico!
Breed: miniature Australian shepherd (Aussie) mix
Age: 5 months of full-on puppy!
Energy: lively and active daily walks and hikes. No dog parks.
Barking: very quiet
Size: small, about 18lb. right now and maybe 25 fully grown
Kids: over 8 years, she mouths affectionately and this would be too much for most kids
Cats: Will chase
Dogs: Good, submissive, neutered male preferred
Health: excellent
This is Calico, she's a very sweet and submissive dog. Knowledge of working with this temperament will be essential (or willing to learn)
Calico will be spayed soon and can go to her new home after that.
She is about 5 months old, very puppy like. She seems housebroken. We were told she'll chase kitties out of her yard. With proper intros she may get along with a cat that does not run. She's good with the dogs in her home, but overly submissive with them as well.
She 'mouths' in an affectionate manner but we'd prefer only adults or older kids in the home because of this. Expect that if excitement is high with visiting kids, she may nip heels and that's not really a good thing, but it's INSTINCT.
She's a very good little girl and will be a great buddy in her new home!
$395 donation to adopt Calico.
TO REQUEST AN APPLICATION-We WILL RESPOND within 24 hours (usually less!)
All adopters are required to pick up their new family member HERE, within a week of your application being completed and being approved to adopt. Because this is our home, we have LIMITED SPACE to keep dogs, THANK YOU for your understanding. The sooner an adoptable dog finds a home, the sooner we can rescue another!
**If you are unable to come adopt for longer than a week, a deposit ($50) and/or a $10/day donation towards boarding may apply!**
*Be aware that if you cannot adopt the puppy you've already placed a deposit on, you forfeit your deposit and it becomes a donation to our rescue.*
Thank you for your understanding.
**All our foster dogs and puppies have been vaccinated with Galaxy DA2PPv at least ONE TIME. When appropriate and available, they get a rabies vaccination, and they have been dewormed at least once. They come with a health record that reflects this at the time of adoption. They are also Microchipped and come with a free month of health insurance.**
No meet and greets take place without a completed/approved application. We DO allow out of state adoptions, but we DO NOT ship our pets.
