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.



Meet sweet little Maisy. This tiny girl just came to us from a shelter in the central valley with an unknown history. She has likely had pups in the last few months. Maisy is sweet, quiet and unassuming. She loves to be in your lap and is the perfect bedwarmer at night. She curls in tight to your body. She gives soft little kisses. This is a soulmate type dog. She loves to run and play with the other dogs and is not a dominate dog.  She has been good with the kids as young as nine she lives with,  unknown children she would prefer to make the first move which she usually does pretty quickly!  Great dog for apartment living but also can run like the wind outside. She is an indoor dog. Outside to potty and play. Housetraining is pretty good if she has plenty of oppurtunities to get outside. She is good in the crate.
Adoption is $375 and includes her spay, rabies, worming, shots, heartworm test, bordatella vaccine and microchip. She appears to be around 5 lbs and 3-5 years old.  All dogs go home on a two week trial. If interested, please fill out an application at www.thedogspotrescue.org and then email [email protected] to schedule an appointment. All dogs are met by appointment in ELK GROVE, Ca


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.
