Poor little McKinney was found on a country dirt road, obviously dumped, matted, tick infested and quite scared. She was rescued by a caring couple who called us for help. Although an older girl and shaved to remove the mats and ticks, she's been given a clean bill of health and is scheduled to have a dental this week. She is just a doll as a house guest in her foster home and is anxiously awaiting her FOREVER FAMILY to adopt her since there was no success in finding her former owners.
*** PLEASE READ ***
If you want to inquire about a specific SHELTIE waiting to be matched with a perfect forever family of their own, please fill out our on-line ADOPTION APPLICATION .
PROCESS OF ADOPTION:
After we have had time to review your application and check references, we will be back in touch with you. This is a totally volunteer organization; therefore please allow at least 48 hours for us to get back with you. If at that time you have NOT gotten a reply, please e-mail us as your application may not have arrived. (ALL APPLICATIONS WILL BE ACKNOWLEDGED, WHETHER APPROVED OR NOT.)
After your submitted application has been processed, references checked and approved, a HOME VISIT will be scheduled after which time arrangements will then be discussed regarding meeting your potential new family member.
Adoption fees range from $150-$275, based on the age/adoptability of each specific dog. HOWEVER, please inquire about our SENIOR SANCTUARY PROGRAM if you are open to adopting a dog in double digit years. We believe these SPECIAL individuals and families deserve even more consideration/support and we make every effort to make these adoptions a WIN WIN for both our DOG and POTENTIAL FAMILY.
**************
AS WITH ALL OUR DOGS, A SECURELY FENCED YARD IS MANDATORY. FURTHERMORE, WE DO NOT SHIPOUR DOGS. ALL AOPTIVE FAMILIES MUST BE WILLING TO COME HERE TO MEET THEM WITH ALL THE MEMBERS OF YOUR HOUSEHOLD, INCLUDING ANY OTHER 4 LEGGED KIDS (DOGS) TO ENSURE COMPLETE COMPATABILITY, A SUCCESSFUL ADOPTION AND A HAPPY FUTURE!
SSR RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REFUSE ANY APPLICATION.
