Fred - PENDING the Dog needs a home

Updated: 2/15/18


Name: Fred


Gender: Male


Breed: English Shepherd Mix


Age: Approx 1 year old


Weight: Approx 45 lbs


 


My name is Fred. I came from, what the people around here call “The wrong side of the tracks”. People weren’t nice to me. They yelled “GO AWAY” and threw rocks at me. I lived in the woods, all alone. It was a pretty sad time for me. The place I came from, their version of ‘Animal Control” is to just shoot dogs like me. Yes, shoot us.


 


The people at this shelter were trying to get me too, waiting patiently across the tracks. One day, I crossed those tracks, and found a nice meal just sitting there. I went to eat it, and got stuck in a cage! I was really scared at first. I thought for sure I was a gonner. But then the people from the shelter came. They came and brought me back with them!


 


The lady here tells me I am a handsome boy. I love her. She lets me sit in her lap, even though I am a big boy. I give her lots of gentle kisses to let her know I appreciate it. She is patient with me, because she understands that I am shy, after what people did to me. Since I’m scared of the leash, she got me a halter so we can go outside. Yes, It’s pink and YES I am a boy, but I hear the lady here likes pink, so if it makes her happy I’m OK with that. She says she will help me find a home that will teach me what it is like to be loved. It may take me a little bit to be a “normal dog” (Right now I belly crawl everywhere and sometimes if you spook me I have an accident) but I promise the person that takes the time with me that I will be the most devoted companion you have ever met!


 


Adoption Fee: $400.00


We are a Wisconsin state licensed dog rescue -WI# 402433


 


***We do not have a central adoption center at this time. All our dogs are in private foster homes within WI. At this time we only place our dogs in areas of WI. The breed of our dogs is our best guess with the help of our veterinarians.


Our Weight Classes are as follows:

0- 25lbs - Small

26- 45lbs - Medium

46-89 - Large

90+ X-large

If you are adopting an adult dog, which we consider 6 months of age or older, your adoption fee includes the following:


Spay/Neuter, Rabies and Distemper shots, dewormed, flea & tick preventative, heartworm tested and microchipped.


If you are adopting a dog younger than 6 months of age, the dog will be up to date on the shots as per the dogs age. The dog will be dewormed, flea/tick preventative and microchipped. We only spay/neuter our dogs by 6 months of age. If you decide to adopt a younger dog than 6 months of age, they will need to be spayed/neutered at one of our preferred clinics. This will be determined by your contract along with the month they should have their surgery. This is included in your adoption fee.


Once you are approved with our rescue, you can meet any one of our dogs within the fosters home. If you are interested in the dog you met, you can take the dog home under our mandatory foster to adopt program. You receive 5 days to see if the dog is the right fit for your home.


If it is, we will conduct the home visit and finalize adoption. If it is not, it is returned to the foster. We are happy to find you another dog that meets your needs in your home.


If a dog is listed as PENDING, a family has met the dog and planning on adopting the dog after the home visit has been conducted. We always suggest sending in an application for a dog because there are times where the dogs are given back to us under the foster to adopt program. There are many reasons dogs are returned but normally it just was not the right fit for all.
