We cannot guarantee the health or temperament of any animal adopted from our shelter. Many of these animals are strays so we have no history on them. An animal often does not show its true health or temperament until some time after placement in a home. Be patient with your new pet and set rules from the start. Take your new dog to classes and enjoy your new relationship!
