Jackie-Oh! is a 10-year-old blue merle Sheltie mixed with a tiny dab of Disney Princess.  She came to RMCSR from National Mill Dog Rescue with three of her favorite fellas, all Sheltie friends.  Jackie is 14# of adorable and personable pooch.  She was just as neglected as the other Shelties in the bunch.  Puppy mills maximize their profits by not spending the "standard of care" costs like vaccines and worming and dentals.  And the dogs are literally bred to death.  An old female with a rotted jaw and bleary eyes might produce another litter of pups even if she dies trying to give birth.  Jackie may have been released to Mill Dog Rescue because she could no longer get pregnant.  We discovered in her spay that her ovaries were covered with cysts.

We are always on the lookout for specific dogs for our repeat adopters.  A wonderful gal that has adopted from us too many times to count asked us to keep an eye out for a sweet little female Sheltie to balance out her pack.  So when I met Jackie, I immediately thought of Cindra and let her know every detail as I figured them out.  And although Jackie is a toothless senior, Cindra looked at Jackie with the eyes of love.  And Jackie snuggled into the arms of her "mom" and went home.  Pretty cool, huh?

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.
