About

Meet Navy's Sox

Meet Momma Navy's kiddos!  All girls named by their foster home's kids - Bingo, Bluey, Sox, & Muffin.Momma Navy is about 35lbs, best guess is she is a Border Collie/Terrier??  We expect but cannot guarantee that the pups will be medium size adults.  Approximate date of birth is 2/21/25, so they are just about 9.5 weeks old.Meet Sox - Sox is gentle at heart but don’t let that fool you—she absolutely loves to rough and tumble with her sisters, turning playtime into a lively, joyful wrestling match. She’s got that perfect Aussie mix of sweetness and spirited energy, always ready to explore and have fun but also happy to snuggle when the day winds down. If you’re looking for a playful, loving pup who’s as smart as she is adorable, Sox might just be your perfect match. She’s learning fast, loves her siblings, and can’t wait to find a family to call her own. As with any puppy, they will need families committed to begin and continue training in their new adoptive homes. And, as with all of our puppies, we recommend taking a basic group training class for exposure, a bonding experience with their new families, and of course continuing paths to becoming lovely, trained, well-behaved & well-adjusted adult canine citizens. They have been dewormed and are up-to-date on age appropriate vaccines (parvo/distemper), flea/tick preventative (if needed), & microchipped!____________________________________________________________________ **If you are interested, YOU NEED TO APPLY.  Also, a follow-up email to [email protected] is strongly recommended.

Thank you for your interest.(Sorry, we will not respond to generic "check the box," "Is s/he available," "Can you give me more information" inquiries.) NYS Rescue Registry No. RR 087

Adoption Process
The adoption process will begin with an extensive adoption application, accessible on our website. In addition to a series of questions (e.g., to ascertain the adopter's likes/dislikes, lifestyle, and general suitability), the application will require, among other things, a veterinary reference and two personal (non-family member) references. In lieu of a veterinary references, we will require 3 personal references. We will also require submission of digital photos of home and yard, as well as a home visit. Approved adopters will be required to take their pup or dog to the vet within 7 days of adoption. Each animal adopted from Safe At Last will go home with a medical booklet, complete with all details of vetting done prior to adoption, with explicit instructions as to the follow up required. All animals will be UTD with all age appropriate shots prior to adoption, and barring any health reasons that would preclude it, they will be placed on topical protection for fleas/ticks, and based on age, also started on heartworm preventative (or provided with the first dose). Any animals older than 4 months will be spayed/neutered before adoptions. For animals under 4 months old, the adoption contract will require spay/neuter by the time the animal is 6 months of age. We will require proof of same and will assign one of our members to have the task of following up on proof of spay and neuter. Under the contract, the adoptive family will not "own" the animal until we have received proof of spay and neuter. Failure to have the surgery performed will allow us, under the contract, to reclaim the pet.
