Hound - Large - Young - Male - Dog - Scooby Doo
Description
Say hello to Scooby Doo. He is just one of the nicest boys EVER! Scoobs was found in a high kill shelter by one of our rescuers who just couldn't walk by this sweet boy. He is 1-2 years old and weighs about 60 pounds. Scooby is very thin right now... he's not doing well in the kennel and has lostweight so we are anxious to find him a home. He is fun, loving and playful and would be a wonderful addition to your home. Contact Debbie at dhginn@comcast.net right away for an application and arrange a "meet and greet."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."
