More about the shelter
Our organization primarily helps owners keep pets in safe and healthy homes. We do this by offering support (i.e. training advice, management), supplies (i.e. food, crates, leashes), and we work closely with animal control on cases where owners truly just need help keeping pets.
When re-homing is best, we work with owners to provide re-homing assistance which includes marketing and screening of applicants, as well as post-adoption support for adopters.
Fees vary based on pet, we have an adoption contract that outlines the conditions the pet must be kept, our right to reclaim, and notification to us if the pet is to be euthanized. Please visit our website to fill out an adoption application.
About GRISELDA/'GRIZZY' (COURTESY POST)
Distance: 2,374 Miles
Griselda or, Grizzy, is 1yr & 3 months old, weighs 80lbs, is spayed, is up to date on her vaccines, and is not microchipped. "Grizzy knows how to sit and wait (sort of). She knows away or down pretty well too."
Griselda's guardian explains why she has made the difficult decision to rehome her: "
I am unable to provide for her schedule wise and financially the way I think she deserves. We took her in on more of a foster basis from a family member whose dog had a litter and was slow to sell. We haven't had luck finding her a forever home by word of mouth so tapping into resources now instead."
BITE/SCRATCH INCIDENTS: More than 10 days ago, Grizzy nibbled when she was excited and scratched her guardian; the skin was not broken; animal control was not involved. Grizzy's guardian further explains "
She nibbles when excited and seeking attention but has done well with redirection to her toys. She has scratched at our feet for attention as well."
Griselda's guardian offers a brief medical history: "
She has been itching to the point of breaking skin that then scabs over. We are bathing her 1-2 times a week which helps for a bit. I did find 2 ticks on her within the first month or so that were taken off with no issues."
Griselda's guardian states the following regarding children: Grizzy has lived with a 4yo child, so her guardian recommends her living with children, stating "
she has been fine and is usually just curious about them. The first night she was in our home she did try to nibble at Wyo when he had a towel on so I think hooded things make her nervous."
Griselda's guardian states the following regarding dogs: Grizzy hasn't lived with dogs, so her guardian doesn't recommend her living with dogs, stating "
I am unsure how she would do with another dog in the house. She has grown to be protective of our space but we haven't had another dog come over. She's been fine with dogs outside of the house."
Griselda's guardian states the following regarding cats: Grizzy hasn't lived with cats, so her guardian doesn't recommend her living with cats, stating "
When we visited a home with a cat, she is very interested and curious about the cat - the cat is not friendly so will run away. Seems like when Grizzy has gotten close enough she's only looking to smell the cat."
Griselda's guardian describes her as:
Couch potato
Playful
Friendly
Likes to be touched
Affectionate
Crate-Trained
Likes men
Likes women
Griselda's guardian describes her ideal future home: "
I think the ideal home for Grizzy would be a young family who has a love for bigger dogs. She is playful and energetic but doesn't take much activity to tire her out -- a few laps around the house or outside is all it takes. She loves getting pet and snuggled with and would I'm sure love a home where she could curl up on the couch with her person. A yard is not necessary but someone who can walk her or have her walked twice a day would be appreciated."
