Story
Please contact JoEllen (sagdinfo@aol.com) for more information about this pet. Please apply online at http://texasgreatdane.org/adoption-application/ ** This dog is in a foster home in San Antonio, TX. Prospective adopters must be able to travel to San Antonio to complete the adoption process. Please apply online at http://texasgreatdane.org/adoption-application/ ** Meet Rue, a gentle soul with the kindest eyes and a heart that’s more than ready for a fresh start. This beautiful 6-year-old, 60-pound Wheaten mix has known a tough life and has raised many litters, but through it all she has remained incredibly sweet and loving. Now it’s finally her turn to be cherished, spoiled, and shown what a peaceful, happy life can look like. Rue gets along wonderfully with other dogs, doesn’t seem to mind cats at all, and truly loves people. She would thrive in a quiet, laid-back home where she can relax, feel safe, and enjoy the simple pleasures she may have missed out on before. She is house broken, kennel trained, and already knows how to use a dog door — an easy, well-mannered girl who just wants a soft bed, gentle affection, and a family to call her own. Rue did test positive for heartworms, but she has completed treatment with Immiticide and is on the road to recovery. She will simply need to be retested in about 6 months to confirm she is heartworm-free. If you’re looking for a calm, grateful companion who will love you with her whole heart, Rue is ready to start her happily-ever-after with you. Dogs with heartworm infection live happy, high-quality lives as long as they are given appropriate care. Heartworm infection is relatively common in the United States so we are in need of caring adopters like you that are willing to open their home to a dog with heartworm infection. We think that our heartworm dogs have just as much to offer their new adopters as any other dog and they deserve a chance at life. Adopters will receive all the necessary medications needed to complete the heartworm treatment protocol. Please understand you are committing to providing a good home for her entire life (up to 15+ years or more.) You must be committed to housebreaking, age-appropriate enrichment and exercise, leash training, grooming needs, and positive socialization. Her adoption fee is $200. This includes her spay surgery, rabies vaccination, Nobivac® Canine 1-DAPP vaccination, Nobivac® Intra-Trac 3 vaccination, Drontal® Plus, IDEXX SNAP® 4Dx Plus Test, Tri-Heart® Plus chewable tablet, 24PetWatch® microchip, and leash and collar. Please be aware that puppies and small breed dogs do get adopted quickly so interested parties are encouraged to apply online at www.saspca.org. Please ensure your application is complete before submitting. We do verify property ownership, landlord references, apartment/HOA restrictions, veterinary references. Our adoption events are held every other Saturday at Petco located in the Northwoods Shopping Center at 18138 San Pedro Ave, San Antonio TX 78232. Event hours are 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Additional questions may be directed to sagdinfo@gmail.com. ** This dog is in a foster home in San Antonio, TX.
