Elin is 3 ½ years old, weighs 65 pounds. She was adopted 3 and a half years ago, but was just recently returned for bruising a child (bit, but did not break skin), hence the "not good with children" in her description - she would likely be fine with older children (12 and up), just not small rowdy kids. At the moment, she is just settling into her foster home, so is quite unsure of herself and her surroundings. As she settles in, she is being a bit "dog selective" -- she's prefers to not have the other dogs in her foster home get too close, will snap to warn them away. She gets super excited when she sees a leash, and is VERY needy. She is her foster mom's shadow at all times, but loves running in large fenced areas.
Kenna Hellen is up-to-date on shots, spayed and microchipped. She needs a loving, active home where she will be an indoor dog, AND get lots and lots of exercise by helping her pet parents with their exercise routines and/gardening activities!

After you complete an application, there are several things that we will do:
1. We will check your personal references. Please be sure to list two personal references and include a phone number and an email address. (form asks for one; but I like two)
2. If you do not own your place of residence, we will call your landlord or leasing office. Please check with them first to learn about their pet policy.
3. We will call your veterinarian for a reference. We are looking for a history of annual exams, vaccines maintained routinely, annual heartworm tests and monthly preventatives. We require the following:
* All pets in the home must be spayed or neutered.
* If your pet is not up to date on vaccines, please do not submit the application until you have scheduled an appointment with the vet to get your pets current on their vaccines.
4. If you are a 1st-time pet owner, please include the name and phone number of the veterinarian you plan to use.
5. Be sure to call your Vet(s), giving them permission to speak with us.
6. We may need to do a home visit prior to approving your application, or post-adoption.
If these policies and practices are not acceptable, please do not apply.
