Adoption requires
- An application
- a home visit
by one of our volunteers
- a donation
of $200 for dogs younger than 7
- A
donation of $100 if the dog is "middle aged" (7 and older)
or if the dog is a mixed breed
|
We prefer families
with a fenced yard, as
most Sp ringers need daily exercise beyond an on-leash walk,
and some dogs (usually those pulled from shelters) have been
found wandering. This is not an absolute requirement.
Families with toddlers may have a longer wait until
we have a dog with proven toddler experience.
We encourage our new families to give their new friend some formal
obedience training.
Shelter listed dogs will be adopted through the shelter and are
subject to their fees and rules.
NOTE: Almost all shelters list dogs at
http://www.petfinder.com They are often adopted straight from the
shelter. It's a good idea to search that site at least weekly. Some
shelter software only allows them to list "Welsh" Springers. We've not
yet seen ANY Welsh Springer in a shelter... they are somewhat rare.
We assume the dog is an English Springer.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.

SaraLee
About 8 years old
Spayed
Liver/White
Good with kids
Unknown with toddlersz
Unknown with cats
Saralee was adopted from Klamath Falls, Oregon, and like the other
girls who came from there, she is very sweet, reliable, and cuddly,
and gets along with other dogs (at least with a little friend-Yorkie).
Saralee's owner has died, so she came into foster care a few days ago.
She's good on leash, and fine in the house when the owner is out. She
loves to play fetch and run at the park. All in all, a loving and sweet
girl.
If you're interested in SaraLee, please fill out an application
. If you already have an ap, email Jan
and tell her you are interested.

Bo
Neutered
B/W
Good with kids & cats
Senior dog (10 years old)
Needs a big, fenced yard
Currently in Bend, OR
Bo comes from a breeder in Utah. He had a great
life there with his family. But now that they live in Bend and Mom has
gone to work, he's lonely. He's field bred, had basic obedience, basic
hunting, and is an eager hunter. Bo is good with other dogs, but in
the field, he's nose down and focused and ignores the other dogs. Bo
is current with vaccinations and heartworm preventive. He's fine alone
inside or in the garage. His owners describe him as happy and exuberant.
He's very youthful for his age (typically, springers are "young"
for most of their lives). Outside, he can play nonstop, loves to swim,
and is mostly interested in flushing anything that moves.
He rides in the car well, likes to join the
family inside for meals (sleeps under the table).
Bo has some issues with people in uniform (UPS
guy, etc) and has some other ideosyncracies his family would be glad
to explain.
If you think you can provide a good home for Bo, please fill out an
application .
If you already have an application, email Jan
about your interest.
