Here's what the humans have to say about me:
We had inquired about Emperor who was at a daily kill shelter in TX. We got a message back that he was heading to the euthanasia room. We said please get him out of there we will take him on. We were not sure if they got him out right away and then an hour later got called that they were taking him to a boarding place for us. The transport company could not bring him to us for another 2 weeks. We found out from the boarding place that he had a leg injury. We decided to not wait 2 weeks for transport with him having an injury and drove down to get him. Emperor was not using his back left leg at all and we figured it was a car that hit him. Once we got him back to TN he saw our vets who thought they could fix the leg. We also sent the x ray to an orthopedic surgeon who said the injury was about a month old and would not recommend fixing his leg. To be honest Emperor was not using the leg at all and was getting around as if he had 4 legs anyway. We decided to remove the leg and he has not missed a beat since. The last picture is of him after surgery and the other 3 are of him now. He is a fun loving little guy that runs and plays just like any other dog. We do have ramps for him to get on the couch and bed as he would not be able to do that, but other than that being 3 legged does not stop him. He is very food motivated as you can see he has not missed a meal and we have had to cut that back because he is starting to look like a chunky monkey. Emperor is completely vetted, meaning fixed, had all shots, heartworm negative, micro chipped and on monthly prevention. He is not on any meds for his leg, that is completely healed. We are not sure how he is with cats as he is not around any in his foster home, just big and small dogs. We are hoping to do a transport on Saturday 30th May.
All of us in the rescue have full time jobs as well as running the rescue so if you are interested in Adamite please go to our website www.doginghampalacerescue.org for our application. Then email the application back to doginghamrescue@aol.com. The fees on our website are very out dated, we are waiting on the lady to update everything. Since covid hit, it is hard to get into vets offices and prices have gone way up. The adoption fee and transport fee is explained below.
We are based in the Nashville, TN area and have most of our dogs transported up north. The $400 adoption fee does not include the transport fee (will have a health certificate too). The transport fee is $200, so a total of $600. The transport fee is not refundable if things do not work out.
