My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Benton is an adorable, 21 pound, blond, male cocker spaniel. He is guesstimated to be 1-2 years old and unfortunately tested heartworm positive. We are handling this by keeping him on an Ivermectin based heartworm prevention until he tests negative for heartworms, which should be within 1-2 years (or less). Once he tests negative he will no longer have any restrictions as to what type of heartworm prevention he can use. The groomer fell in love with him, telling us that he is a real sweetheart! He will be neutered and brought up to date on vaccinations as soon as we can get him scheduled for his surgery. He’s good on a leash, good in the car and gets along well with other dogs. He loves to sleep in bed with his foster mom and he is working hard on his house manners. The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an online adoption application. You can find a copy of that application here. We sometimes receive a lot of interest on an animal and can't always reply to each email in a timely manner. An application does not obligate you to adopt from us, but it does show that you are serious about the adoption process. Please remember we are all volunteers.

After you submit your application please allow a few days for a volunteer to review your application. During this time your vet reference will be checked and a volunteer with determine if it is the best match for you and the animal. Applications are not approved on a first come, first serve basis. We match up the best home for the animal, so even if the pet has other applications, this does not meet he/she will be adopted to that home.

Once your application has been approved a volunteer with contact you to set up a phone interview. This is the perfect time for you to ask any questions you have about the adoption process and the animal you are interested in.
