American Eskimo Dog - Medium - Young - Female - Dog - Lacey
Description
Lacey is a wonderful 1-2 year old girl looking for a new home. Her favorite thing in the whole wide world is to hang out with her people and get (and give) lots and lots of hugs and kisses! She's fine with other dogs but she loves her people more! If you are looking for a wonderful and beautiful companion, please contact Debbie right away at dhginn@comcast.net for an application and arrange a visit with Lacey. She's anxiously waiting for her new family to take her home!Our adoption fee is $350 for most young/adults and $400 for puppies. We have had to raise our fee do to our transport costs from the south. We are often asked, "Why would you charge "so much" for a rescue pet? Why not just place it in a good home?" The answer is because we need adopters who are willing to support all rescue pets, not just the dog they adopt. A young, healthy dog might cost us $150-400 in (discounted) vet care, and many people will want to adopt it. An older one with health issues can easily cost $500-1500 in veterinary expenses, and it may require months of foster care for rehabilitation; yet we can only ask a minimal adoption fee, and it may be a long time until anyone comes forward to adopt it. Fees from the younger, more adoptable dogs help offset the cost of caring for the others. Most of our dogs have a sad story to tell, and some have suffered through years of neglect or abuse. We hope that you too are willing to give an opportunity for a better life to ALL of our dogs by supporting them through adoption fees. Without these funds, our rescue efforts would not be possible."
