Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Local adoptions only: within a 75-mile radius of Quail Valley/Menifee, Southwest Riverside County. Please note: L.A. and Orange Counties are out of area due to traffic/drive time.
Sweet Sandy was rescued from a hoarding situation. She came to us with only 3 legs due to an injury to her right hind where she apparently did not receive any medical attention. It appears she has had many litters of puppies. She also is blind in her left eye due to a congenital defect. Sandy appears to be a Doxie Mix with a short red coat. She weighs 18 pounds and her estimated date of birth of 4-4-11. She has been spayed, vaccinated, dewormed and microchipped. Sandy is a great little companion dog and loves to sleep in bed with you. She is great with other dogs and cats. She is very well behaved in the house and never has an accident. Due to her past experiences, she does not like to have anyone do anything to her, such as having nails trimmed or ears cleaned. However, she loves attention and to be petted. Her handicaps do not hold her back and she doesn't know she is missing a leg and eyesight in one eye.
$100 adoption fee, cash only, which is to help reimburse for a portion of expenses of dog rescue and rehabilitation. Adoption contract required. We are looking for adopters who are willing and able to care for this dog for its lifetime (10+ years). Location: Quail Valley/Menifee, Southwest Riverside County. Local adoptions only; within 75 mile radius because we deliver animal to its new home to do a home/yard check. Please note: L.A. and Orange Counties are out of area because of traffic and difficult, time-consuming drive.) We prescreen potential adopters before setting up a meeting.
.
If interested in this animal, please email us with a little info about you, your family, your other pets, your experience as a dog owner (which breed, etc.), where you live (which city, home or apt?), what type of home you would provide and what type of dog you are looking for--an inside dog, an outside dog or? Thank you.
Our adoption process involves meeting the animal by appointment. We have the best interest of the animal in mind and our goal is to find a good, permanent home for each of our rescued animals. We have the right to decline an application if we feel it is not a good match/fit or suitable home. If you like the animal and we both feel it is a good match, an application and adoption contract is completed. A convenient day/time is arranged for us to deliver the animal to its new home to do a home/yard check (to make sure the home and yard is safe and secure). We will collect the adoption fee (cash only) when we deliver the animal to its new home. All our adoptions are on a trial basis because our goal is to have a successful adoption where the animal has a good permanent home and never ends up in a bad situation again. We ask that you give the animal a chance to adjust and settle in his new home and environment. Going to a new home with new people and a new environment is traumatic and stressful. It will take time for the animal to become comfortable around you and his/her new home. This should be a bonding period where you get to know the animal and connect with it, spend time with it and take things slow. He/she will need to get to know and trust you and learn the rules of the house and what is expected of him/her. This takes time, sometimes 2-3 weeks. During this time we will hold the adoption fee and if the adoption is not working out, we ask that you contact us and return the animal and we will refund your adoption fee.
