Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Lanny came to the Dixie Pet Underground Railroad after being surrendered along with his six brothers and sisters. His mom's people didn't get her spayed and Lanny and his brothers and sisters were born on Jan. 16. The family didn't want the puppies to go to the pound where they would be killed so they brought them to the Dixie Pet Underground Railroad. We ensured his mom got spayed and now we're trying to find safe and loving homes for her babies. We don't know for sure what Lanny's breed mix is, but the his mom is only about 20 pounds and his mom's people think they know who Lenny's dad is and they say that he too is a small dog. Because of this, we don't expect the puppies to be larger than 20-30 pounds when they are full grown. Lanny and his brothers and sisters have been very healthy. They are sweet and well-socialized, though a little shy with new people and new experiences. They get along great with other dogs and cats, and seem to enjoy playing with children, once they've had a chance to get acclimated to new situations. They have had three puppy vaccinations, this includes parvo, distemper, hepatitis and parainfluenza. They've also had their kennel cough and rabies vaccinations, been spayed/neutered, started on heart worm prevention, and de-wormed three times. Lanny and his siblings will be ready to travel to their forever homes on May 4. Email today if you can give one of these little scruffy cuddle-pups a forever homePLEASE you must click the following link in order to read about our process and to apply for this dog: http://members.petfinder.org/~TN564/IntroductionD.htm
Or e-mail adoptions@dixiepetunderground.org to request an adoption application. Once we receive your complete application, an adoption counselor will call you within 48 hours of receipt of the application. During the adoption interview, the adoption counselor will tell you more about the puppy and our adoption processes, as well as answer any questions you have.
Dogs and puppies are up-to-date on their vaccinations, spayed/neutered, de-wormed, treated for fleas/ticks and heartworm negative before leaving rescue. You will receive complete medical records for your dog or puppy at the time of adoption.
The adoption fee is $450 and covers the cost of all veterinary care and transportation to your area.
Our dogs and puppies are delivered via a USDA-certified van transport and receive an Interstate Health Certificate -- issue by a licensed, accredited veterinarian -- no more than 10 days before the dog or puppy leaves rescue.
All of our dogs and puppies come into rescue from the "death row" of animal shelters in the south, or are owner surrenders or strays who were "pound bound" before coming into rescue. Adopting a dog or puppy from the Dixie Pet Underground Railroad means you are truly part of a partnership to save the life of the dog or puppy that you welcome into your family.
Our dogs and puppies are fostered at our rescue in Tennessee, meaning that it isn't possible to meet the dog or puppy before adoption. Our adoption counselor works with you to do everything possible to ensure that there is a good match between the family and the dog. We have had several hundred dogs adopted using this process and most of the time, it results in happy puppies and happy people.
If for any reason an adoption is not successful, the Dixie Pet Underground Railroad will work with the adopter to find the best possible solution for the dog and the adopting family.
We can provide contact information for adopters in your area who can tell you about their experience partnering with the Underground Railroad to save the life of a dog and make the animal a part of their family. We look forward to hearing from you and working with you to find the right dog for your family!
