Boxer - Medium - Young - Female - Dog - Tasha
Description
This beautiful natural boxer was found trying to visit the kids at a local Children's Camp! She is super sweet and gentle, about one year old, current on vaccinations, soon to be spayed (prior to adoptive placement) and ready to be your loving companion. She has been good with many other dogs, beenintroduced to cats on lead with no aggression problems and is learning some basic manners. She is not known to be housetrained, but should do well with patience and love! 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."
