$$200Meet Mallard
My name is Mallard. I am a very loving Retriever/Plott hound mix who enjoys snuggling on the couch and watching TV. I enjoy walks and do well on a leash. I am eager to please, but I do jump sometimes when I get excited. I will sit and do basic commands when instructed. I love everyone of all ages. I have never met a stranger! I am very gentle and was raised with kids and other dogs. I am doing excellent with my potty training in the house. I will have that completely down in no time! Everyone said I am very handsome! I have the cutest brindle coat that is really soft, and I enjoy when it is brushed. I would love to share some adventures with you. If you pick me then this handsome fella will only bring you lots of love, snuggles, and fun! My fee is $200.
Adoption Process
We have an extensive application process where veterinary references are checked (we require all current and past animals have been altered and that the client shows a history of good vet care) and we has a number of questions targeted at encouraging the adopting family to really consider if they are ready financially and emotionally to support an animal life long. We also try to match the right animal with the right home with consideration to the adopters previous animal experience, energy level, and general personality. After reviewing and approving and applicant (on paper), we meet with them and all members of their house hold including other resident dogs. We offer one week trials to ensure this decision is in the best interest of both human and animal. If all parties are confident upon meeting, then we have a contract which also states that if any anytime they are unable to keep the animal, that they will return in to our organization. Adoption fees vary from $100-275 based on age, size, and breed, with $175 as an average.
