Bree is a lovely little deaf senior sheltie. She is very quiet. She hasn’t barked once yet, and she spends most of her time sleeping. We started her on thyroid supplements because she was sleeping so much, has sparse and brittle fur, and is overweight. She is very subdued, but every once in a while, when I let her into the back yard, she kicks up her heels and runs across the grass.

Bree loves to eat, and we are trying to get her to lose about 5 pounds. She currently weighs 26 but should ideally weight less than 20.

Bree just had major dental work and had to have 8 teeth removed. She was pretty well under the weather for the past few days while recovering (I heard her whimpering once or twice in the evenings) but seems to have turned the corner and is out and about a little more. Her doctor thinks she should be a new dog once she’s fully recovered! Poor little girlie - with a mouth full of painful teeth!

Please begin the process for adoption by reading our Adoption Policies and, if we sound like the right group for you, fill out our online Adoption Application. From there, our receipt of your completed application will be confirmed by email. You then will receive a follow-up phone call if we feel you are a good potential applicant for the dog. Lots of good conversation with the foster family, a reference from your veterinarian, and a home visit round out the screening process. We take dog adoption very seriously.  Please put a lot of thought into why you want to adopt a dog, and help us make a good match for your family. We appreciate your taking the time to visit with us. We will look forward to hearing from you as well.
