Partial adoption fees will not hold a dog. If upon meeting the dog of your choosing at your scheduled pickup time you find that you aren't a good match, your deposit will be fully refunded. Adoption fees include vaccines up until time of adoption, microchip, spay/neuter and 1st 30 days of free pet insurance. We are not affiliated with MetLife pet insurance. (you have to sign up for the insurance or it will not go into effect). Adoption fees help cover the medical care of the animals while he or she waits for a new home, as well as food and transportation costs. These fees help to provide care for the other animals in the shelter or rescue group who may have medical bills that are much higher than any possible adoption fee. The money also acts as a donation to help support the organization as a whole, allowing the group to continue its efforts to rescue and rehome pets. The dogs in our care are fostered in Colorado, Texas, and New Mexico. While all dogs are picked up during our scheduled times, sometimes transport dates change due to unforeseen circumstances.

Overview:
The Saint Bernard is an iconic, gentle giant originating from the Swiss Alps, where they were famously bred by monks at the Great St. Bernard Hospice for rescue missions. Physically, they are magnificent dogs, known for their substantial size, powerful build, and a distinctive broad head often featuring a wrinkled brow and soulful eyes. Their thick coat, which can be smooth or rough, is typically a striking combination of white with patches of red, mahogany, or brindle. Temperamentally, Saint Bernards are renowned for their calm, patient, and affectionate nature, making them excellent companions and remarkably tolerant with children, earning them the nickname "nanny dog." However, due to their immense size, they are generally not well-suited for apartment living, thriving best in homes with a spacious yard and owners committed to their exercise needs. Prospective owners should also be aware of common health concerns such as hip and elbow dysplasia, bloat, and eye conditions, necessitating responsible breeding and regular veterinary care for these beloved giants.
