Sara is a tri-colored, larger Sheltie. She is a sweet older gal who enjoys being petted, and petted, and petted. And when you stop petting her, she will ask for more, more, more!

Sara is currently being treated for an injury on her nose. She has tested negative for canine discoid lupus and our vet thinks another month of antibiotics will clear it up what we now know is a deep infection, likely the result of trauma to her nose.

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.
