Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Poor Sheeba! Sheeba ended up in a shelter after her owner passed away. She waited there for 5 months as people adopted dogs that were younger and smaller and left her behind! Sheeba is a 12 year old, husky mix who weighs 55 pounds. Sheeba has lots of pep in her step! She loves to go for adventures and run through the fields! She is housetrained and loves to get her crate to go to sleep for the night. She is ok around other dogs but does prefer dogs who give her space and don't want to play.
Sheeba is looking for a calm environment with patient people who understand that she lost the only family she ever knew. It will take time for her to become comfortable and establish a new routine. When Sheeba is nervous or scared of new things, she can be a bit defensive and needs someone who can understand that. Sheeba is hoping for a few foster home or adopter before winter as she is not in the ideal foster home to meet her needs. Can you be the miracle Sheeba needs to be happy in her golden years?
A reduced adoption fee of $100 does apply to dogs over 8 years of age.
Augusta Dog Adoptions is an all- volunteer, foster- based rescue. We take applications online and are scheduling individual adoptions in the Waynesboro, VA area during the pandemic. A $175.00 adoption fee ($300 for puppies under 6 months old) helps us take care of all the dogs we rescue. All dogs are spayed/neutered, tested for heartworm and tick borne diseases (if old enough), microchipped, and vaccinated for rabies (if old enough), distemper/parvo and bordetella. They are also treated for internal and external parasites. Many dogs also receive extensive medical care such as dental work and major surgeries.
