2/6/2010: We're calling this pretty little girl Marci. She had no name when she came to us and Marci kind of fits her. She's a little thing - short and compact - has a ton of wrinkles and a very black mask. She is a red brushcoat. Marci has obviously been mistreated. She is cautious when being touched, but she's getting better about that. She's only been here since Wednesday, so she's making great progress. She's afraid of loud noises. We think Marci would do best in a relatively quiet home without a lot of commotion. She loves her crate. It's a safe haven for her.

 

Marci will see the doctor on Monday. We'll post more after that visit.

 

2/8/2010: Didn't get good news from the doctor. Marci has heartworm disease so we will begin treatment on 2/22/2010. Other than that, she's a healthy girl, but as you probably know, treating for heartworm disease is a risky thing. Thank goodness she is so laid back and calm. This will help tremendously with her recovery. Marci won't be ready for adoption for at least two months.

 

We require that a home visit by a volunteer be done prior to adoption. The purpose of the home visit is to ensure that the information given during the adoption process is correct and that the home is the right match for the dog being adopted. The home visit also gives adopters a chance to ask questions about the adoption process.

The adoption fee for Marci is $250, which helps to offset the cost of her medical care.

If you have trouble filling out our application, please let us know and we will be happy to provide you with an application via email or "snail" mail.
