Adopting A Shelter Dog



These dogs come without background histories/ past medical information. We present these dogs as we have observed in relationship to age, size, breed, behavior, housebreaking, crate training, good with children, cats, dogs, and strangers. Dogs may present themselves differently in different environments, therefore The Dog Spot Rescue, their agents, volunteers, can not guarantee behavior, age, size expectations, breed, house Training, destructive behavior tendencies, and/or medical issues. All dogs from shelters have been subjected to pathogens from the shelter level which can materialize into disease in the future.  Each adopter must observe for themselves pre-adoption and make decisions for themselves the suitability of said dog and their tolerance levels for transitional time when adopting a shelter dog.  We ask that each adopter take their time when making the choice to bring home a rescued dog.



Beautiful and friendly shepherd!
Heidi is a big, bold and beautiful dog. Large for a female at about 75 or so pounds.   She is somewhere around 4 years old. Heidi loves attention and will be a great companion dog, loyal and dedicated to you. She is active and strong but does calm down with exercise. She gets along with dogs but would be best with a large male or a dog her size. She can be very playful with dogs. She has been good with children and people of all sorts. She has not been reactive walking on the street or through crowds of people and is happy with attention from strangers. She enjoys quiet time at home, laying by your feet, sharing a bowl of popcorn by the T.V.  Heidi has not been tested yet with cats. In foster, her foster home just loves her and enjoys nightly walks around the neighborhood-feeling safe with this big bold girl by their side.
Adoption fee is $400 and will include her spay, rabies, worming, shots, heartworm test, bordatella vaccine, microchip and all dogs go home on a post adoption 2 week trial. If interested please fill out our application at www.thedogspotrescue.org (this is not an aggreement to adopt) and then email us at [email protected] or [email protected] (check spam if you don't hear from us) 
All dogs are met by appointment either outside of Merced or Elk Grove. 

Your Adoption Fee covers the following expenses: Spay/Neuter, DHLPP, Bordatella, Rabies (if age appropriate), De-worming and Frontline/Advantage



Please Note: Shelter/rescue dogs have been exposed to many pathogens such as kennel cough, parasites, diseases and conditions some of which may not have been discovered prior to adoption. Any dog that shows symptoms here at TDS are routinely identified, taken for tests and treatment. Our vet bills can exceed $10,000 a month. However, without symptoms, we may miss a disease, or pre-existing condition or parasite. Consider carefully if you have the tolerance for these possibilities. We consider, you, the adopters, the last leg of the rescue process.
