Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Come see Amadeus at the Old Saybrook Shopping Center on May 14 and 15 from 11:00am to 4:00pm.
Here is more information about me:
GENERAL BEHAVIOR AND IDEAL HOME:
Amadeus is approximatly a 4 month old Moutain Cur Terrier Mix.madeus was brought into the Oconee County Animal Control office as a stray puppy back on march 1st 2016. After sitting at the shelter for over a month with no reclaim or adoption, he was recently pulled by the Madison Oglethorpe Animal Shelter to attend an upcoming Dog Days Adoption Event where we are positive he is going to find a loving forever home. But for the massive over-population problem here in middle Georgia, these babies would not find themselves homeless for months on end. The inability to find a family of his own has not effected his confidence though. This Confident little guy is a natural born leader of the pack. He’s a team player and more than ready to take charge of a situation. Amadeus feels secure in his surroundings, and has a self-assuredness that shows in his body language.
Confident and secure in his surroundings. Does better with another female or bigger dog. Has a fun playful personality when he is not trying to be the leader. He is a puppy and will need his new family to start training and socialization with him immediately.
The rescue has noticed this dog is generally good with dogs.However dogs, like people,act differently in different settings and a new adopter should expect there will be an adjustment period of time before before the dog settles in to a new home.
GENERAL VETERINARY CARE:
I have been
~ spayed/neutered
~ microchipped
~ dewormed
~ heatworm-tested negative if dog is of age to be tested ( 6 months or older)
~ up to date on all age appropriate shots
~ treated with a flea preventative
ADOPTION FEES
Rescues participating in our events are not allowed to charge more than $385 an adoption fee and some adoption fees are much less - it depends on what the rescue chooses to charge - Dog Days does not take any portion of the adoption fees.

ADOPTION PROCESS - Before the Event
If you would like to begin the application process, please fill in the form at the link above and we will review your information, call your personal and well as vet references. PLEASE Fill in the application if you're interested in adoption, this will save you time at the event. We hope you will understand the careful scrutiny of potential adopters is not only for the safety and well-being of the dog but also for a positive experience for your household. Thank you for saving the life of a shelter dog through adoption; you are truly a hero.
-- A letter from your vet on their letterhead will also be very helpful if they won't be open for us to call as a reference.
-- If you are renting, please note you must have a written letter of permission from your landlord to own a dog on their property. Dog Days will be conducting interviews of prospective adopters.
-- If you have never owned a dog and therefore do not have a vet reference let us know right away and we'll try to do a home visit before the adoption weekend. First time adopters need a quick home visit to make sure they are ready to take a dog home for the first time.
ADOPTION PROCESS - During the Event Weekend
-- Plan on spending at least three to four hours going through the adoption process. We want you to be completely confident in your new pal so we will ask you to speak to a trainer, a veterinarian as well as interview with a member of our adoption team and the rescue.
-- As a policy, Dog Days will not hold dogs for potential adopters so it is important to come to the event by 11:00am Saturday morning if you have your heart set on a particular dog.
-- PLEASE NOTE THAT DOGS ARE GIVEN TO THE BEST HOME, NOT FIRST IN LINE.
Each dog and puppy has been seen by a Connecticut veterinarian who will also be on site to answer any questions you may have. We'll have professional groomers on site to give your new pal a bath before you take them home (no charge) and our adoption bags will give you information and samples for use at home.
EVENT TIMES AND LOCATION- May 14 and 15 from 11am to 4pm at the Old Saybrook Shopping Center, 105 Elm Street, Old Saybrook, CT
