RYKER is a completely vetted 3 year old purebred German Shepherd Dog.  Reluctantly, due to a change in living arrangements, his current owner has asked that we help find him a loving home where he can have not only plenty of room to romp and run but also be able to spend a lot more time with his new person.  He is a big and strong boy with very good manners, loves to 'GO' as well as play fetch and swim. Ryker has been living with both small dogs, younger children and gets along with everyone.  He just WANTS and DESERVES more people time than he currently has now.

If you think you have what it takes to offer this splendid dog a wonderful home with plenty of attention (not being left alone for long hours in the day), please contact us at sheltieshack@bluevalley.net.

If you want to inquire about a specific SHELTIE waiting to be matched with a perfect forever family of their own, please fill out our on-line ADOPTION APPLICATION .


PROCESS OF ADOPTION: 

After we have had time to review your application and check references, we will be back in touch with you.  This is a totally volunteer organization; therefore please allow at least 48 hours for us to get back with you. If at that time you have NOT gotten a reply, please e-mail us as your application may not have arrived. (ALL APPLICATIONS WILL BE ACKNOWLEDGED, WHETHER APPROVED OR NOT.)

After your submitted application has been processed, references checked and approved, a HOME VISIT will be scheduled after which time arrangements will then be discussed regarding meeting your potential new family member.

Adoption fees range from $150-$275, based on the age/adoptability of each specific dog.  HOWEVER, please inquire about our SENIOR  SANCTUARY PROGRAM  if you are open to adopting a dog in double digit years.  We believe these SPECIAL individuals and families deserve even more consideration/support and we make every effort to make these adoptions a WIN WIN for both our DOG and POTENTIAL FAMILY.
