I am already spayed, housetrained, a special needs pet, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
This is such a sad story. Kisses was on her way to a Canadian rescue. She stopped in Columbus at my vet to get a health certificate. She was in very bad physical shape and needed to stay here. She has a tumor on her neck and is very very thin. We are giving her TLC and just had her tumor aspirated to check for cancer. Please keep Kisses in your prayers. I have been paying for Kisses' veterinary bills so any kind of donations would be so greatly appreciated! (Please go to our webpage at www.stopthesuffering.org for more information).
Kisses foster mom says she is doing well. She has been learning house manners and getting along with all the foster mom's dogs (except for one but we don't know who the instigator is). Kisses is a sweet girl and we are praying that she will be adoptable soon. She will require a fenced yard for adoption.
Kisses' adoption fee is $175, which includes all vetting (spay/neuter, all vaccinations including rabies, heartworm test & started on prevention), started on flea/tick prevention and a leash & collar. If you are interested, please fill-out an online application at www.stopthesuffering.org

Each dog and cat in our rescue group is special. Every one has it's own unique personality and needs. Not every dog or cat is right for every home. Our adoption process is designed to make sure you and your new pet will have a successful future together.

Assessment - Matching the Dog and the Adopter
Adopter discusses the dog or cat of choice with an STS adoption specialist.
The STS adoption specialist discusses needs and temperament of dog with individual/family.
Both needs of the dog or cat and and the criteria of the family are very carefully assessed to assure the best match possible. Items considered include:
Temperament and age of dog or cat
Veterinary/health needs of dog or cat
Individual/families desires and perception of the perfect pet
(no match is “perfect” but STS strives for the best match possible)
Ability of individual/family to meet the veterinary, daily-living, behavioral and emotional needs of the dog or cat.
STS visits the home of any adoptive family. If the family lives out of state, STS may arrange for another local rescue to conduct the home visit.
Other means of assessment include:
Veterinary reference
Personal references by two to three individuals who know the adopter and the adopter’s capability to provide a loving home for an animal
Franklin, Licking, Delaware Counties
Columbus, Newark, Heath OH and other surrounding Cities in the Central Ohio area
