ome for a better life. Okay, well, I didn't run away exactly. The nice people in Georgia got me a ride to WI. I really like it here, I'm just not too sure of the cold but give me a break, it's been below zero and there is lots of snow here. Maybe next year when I am a little bigger and have my big shepherd coat, I will enjoy it more.
Since I arrived in WI, I have been settling into my foster home. I live with 5 other dogs, all but one came from Georgia too. I get along with all of them great! I absolutely love playing with the other dogs and can be very vocal when playing. They are teaching me the ropes including how to play with toys, chase in the house and fenced in yard, and get in a good snuggle with my humans. I am doing really well with potty training and haven't had an accident in a few days. My foster mom says I'll get there in no time and tells me that I am very smart. I think it helps I already know how to sit which comes in very handy when it is time to eat and for nighttime peanut butter.
When my foster mom is at work, I stay in my crate with my bed, blanket and a few chew toys to keep me busy. She comes home every day at lunch to let out all the pups and I am so excited to see her but make sure to sit patiently in my crate until she lets me out. Right now, I also sleep in my crate but my foster mom promised me that once I haven't had any accidents for a week, I can sleep with all the other pups snuggled on the dogs beds or in her bed if I am really good. wink, wink...
For a puppy, I am can be both very active and calm. I would do best in a home with another dog who loves to play and chase and is okay playing a little rough. And although I love kids, a bit older would be better so they understand I am still learning and need direction. If you think I might be a good fit for your family, my foster mom says you should fill out an adoption application and maybe we could meet. I would love a family of my own to grow up with.
Adoption Fee: $450.00
We are a Wisconsin state licensed dog rescue -WI# 402433
***We do not have a central adoption center at this time. All our dogs are in private foster homes within WI. At this time we only place our dogs in areas of WI. The breed of our dogs is our best guess with the help of our veterinarians.
Our Weight Classes are as follows:
0- 25lbs - Small
26- 45lbs - Medium
46-89 - Large
90+ X-large
If you are adopting an adult dog, which we consider 6 months of age or older, your adoption fee includes the following:
Spay/Neuter, Rabies and Distemper shots, dewormed, flea & tick preventative, heartworm tested and microchipped.
If you are adopting a dog younger than 6 months of age, the dog will be up to date on the shots as per the dogs age. The dog will be dewormed, flea/tick preventative and microchipped. We only spay/neuter our dogs by 6 months of age. If you decide to adopt a younger dog than 6 months of age, they will need to be spayed/neutered at one of our preferred clinics. This will be determined by your contract along with the month they should have their surgery. This is included in your adoption fee.
Once you are approved with our rescue, you can meet any one of our dogs within the fosters home. If you are interested in the dog you met, you can take the dog home under our mandatory foster to adopt program. You receive 5 days to see if the dog is the right fit for your home.
If it is, we will conduct the home visit and finalize adoption. If it is not, it is returned to the foster. We are happy to find you another dog that meets your needs in your home.
If a dog is listed as PENDING, a family has met the dog and planning on adopting the dog after the home visit has been conducted. We always suggest sending in an application for a dog because there are times where the dogs are given back to us under the foster to adopt program. There are many reasons dogs are returned but normally it just was not the right fit for all.
