Peanut marked as special needs because he is not comfortable with strangers, especially in the home, because his first family crated him instead of letting him interact. He is the right dog for someone looking for a companion for themself and isn't worried about their dog befriending every stranger they pass.  He does warm up but he needs a dog-savvy loving home who will work with him with visitors. He just needs a few minutes to feel comfortable before he is approached, so a home with young children is probably not the best situation for him.  Peanut is also in a low does of inexpensive medicine for his thyroid. 

Our adoption fee is $425 unless otherwise listed in the dogs bio and $475 for puppies.

We are often asked, "Why would you charge "so much" for a rescue pet? Why not just place it in a good home?" The answer is because we need adopters who are willing to support all rescue pets, not just the dog they adopt. A young, healthy dog might cost us $150-400 in (discounted) vet care, and many people will want to adopt it. An older one with health issues can easily cost $500-1500 in veterinary expenses, and it may require months of foster care for rehabilitation; yet we can only ask a minimal adoption fee, and it may be a long time until anyone comes forward to adopt it. Fees from the younger, more adoptable dogs help offset the cost of caring for the others. Most of our dogs have a sad story to tell, and some have suffered through years of neglect or abuse. We hope that you too are willing to give an opportunity for a better life to ALL of our dogs by supporting them through adoption fees. Without these funds, our rescue efforts would not be possible."
