Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Astrid is the sweetest little thing! This precious girl came to us from a local animal control. She had been found as a stray in absolutely awful condition. One of the worst cases of matting we've ever seen, she was an absolute angel for grooming, even though it must have been uncomfortable. She was so happy to have all those mats and knots gone! She immediately started running about and playing with toys! Astrid loves everyone, from toddlers to adults to other animals. She LOVES being held and she'd be fine if her 4 paws never touched the ground, lol. She has the sweetest disposition and is truly an angel. She had some bad teeth, we've gotten her a dental cleaning and had 2 teeth removed. She's been fully vaccinated, spayed, and microchipped. She tested positive for Lyme disease, but is asymptomatic. She's being treated with antibiotics and we expect her to be right as rain! Being an all white dog with blue eyes, she is partially deaf and seems to have some issues with depth perception, which we would expect with that genetic combination. It does not slow her down at ALL. She is a happy go lucky princess! She does not go outside on her own, we have not gotten her to the point where she lets us know she needs to go outside. Her foster mom walks her outside and sets her in the grass and she happily goes potty outside, but you do need to be proactive and take her out. She is soft as a cloud and affectionate as can be. Astrid's adoption fee is $250. Our best estimate as that she is 6-8 years old. You can see her before photo and she's unrecognizable after grooming! The video was taken at the groomer's salon fresh after her haircut, and you can see just how happy and joyful she was to be free of all that mess!

Their adoption process
Additional adoption info
Our adoptions start with an application and approval process. Most of our adult dogs have an adoption fee of $250, regardless of how much medical attention they have received (some of them cost us substantially more than that, all of our rescues are thoroughly vetted and treated for any illness before being adopted out). You must be 21 adopt from us.
We prefer a fenced in yard but it's not required. All people in the household must be present for adoption and we request that you at least spend 45 minutes with the pet of your choice before making the commitment to take them home
EVERY adoption includes spay or neuter. Check around; not everyone includes the price of surgery, even if it's required. Our donation for dogs also includes: first shots, heartworm test if over 6 months, and rabies shot (at time of surgery if too young). Most are also microchipped. Cats come with surgery cost included, first shots, FIV test, and nail trim. We do NOT allow our cats to be declawed!
