Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Thank you for your interest in a Home At Last Sanctuary, Inc. animal. STOP!!! READ!! The ENTIRE DESCRIPTION before you inquire. Do not call, email, txt, send an inquiry through any other website complete our online application FIRST. http://hals.rescuegroups.org/forms/form?formid=3016 Visit our official website(s) here HomeAtLastSanctuary.ORG or HALS.RescueGroups.ORG There is a complete our application only. We estimate Newton almost three years old. He is 25 pounds, neutered, up-to-date in vaccinations. We do not know much about his past before he was picked up as a stray dog by Baltimore County shelter. He was extremely and painfully matted, not neutered, and had an amical hernia. It was necessary to shave his matting off under sedation so this was done when he was neutered and had his amical hernia repaired. In the shelter he was very scared and still had not forgotten the pain he suffered from his matted coat. His coat requires regular grooming to prevent getting matted again. He is extremely fearful of grooming. We have been working with him in his foster home and he is getting better. He will require a family that understands his past trauma and has experience with dogs to help him fully recover. Newton would like to have a home with a yard where he can spend some time running around. Newton would not do well in apartment/Condo life. He needs to have a house with a yard. He seems to be energetic and active and a bit mouthy so he would not do well with young children. Newton is an active, happy, playful dog that gets along well with his new foster brothers. He is an amazingly affectionate dog. He seems to want to and will climb into your lap to be close to you. He like to be in touch with his people either on the lap, next to and touching on the couch, and very close in bed at night with his warm body. We had an animal communicator do a reading on Newton. What we think from this encounter that Newton is missing his family. We think something happened to his owner and a caregiver may have let Newton go astray. His condition would indicate that he was long overdue for required grooming. WHEN AN APPLICATION TO ADOPT IS APPROVED WE BRING NEWTON TO THE HOME VISIT AND MEET AND GREET, AND IF ANOTHER ANIMAL A SNIFF TEST. WE DO NOT PLACE DOGS ON THIS VISIT. WE RETURN IF THERE WILL BE AN ADOPTION WHEN EVERYONE IS PREPARED TO ADOPT . WE ONLY TRAVEL UP TO A ONE HOUR DRIVE FROM ROCKVILLE MD TO PLACE ANIMALS.
