Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Shelby has officially stolen our hearts here at Caddywumpus Cottage! Shelby is a fun, loving and energetic sweetheart. She loves to play and adores her siblings. We are in constant training mode with all of our animals and excellent progress is made daily with Shelby. She is extremely smart and wonderful with other dogs. She recently went on a mini foster adventure for a couple of weeks and did so well the foster Dad wanted to keep her a bit longer. She will steal your heart in mere minutes and she is a beauty to boot.
Thank you for inquiring with Caddywumpus Cottage Paws. We always have wonderful dogs in search of committed forever homes and appreciate you coming to us for your next family member.
We will be very honest about a dog's known background, habits, and personality; however you can expect a "get-acquainted" time together. Be aware that the dog may be anxious and frightened on its first day in your home. Anticipate a reasonable adjustment period. At first, it may appear nervous, have loose stools, vomit, or forget its housetraining manners. Being forewarned is a major step in the adjustment phase.
Our donation fee is minimal for services; more for dogs that require additional vetting before adoption. Our adoption agreement asks that you return the dog to us if you are unable to keep it. We will try our best to match you up with a family pet that will offer you its lifetime in companionship.
A lack of understanding of natural dog behavior is a huge part of the dog overpopulation problem. If people had stable dogs in their homes it would be rare they would ever give them up, and when they did have to it would be much easier to find a home for a behaved dog. It is the dogs with "issues" that our pounds and shelters are full of. Most homeless dogs are not the stable dogs that have had their instincts met. The good part is it is never too late for a dog; they can change if the humans around them change. It is the humans that need the training.
