Lately there seem to be a growing number of barking dog complaints. Barking dogs can be a big problem in a city where there are a lot of people on shift work. If you have one of those problem dogs you can try bark collars if the problem persists. There are a couple of different kinds, one that uses an electric shock and one that uses citronella spray to deter the barking. If yelling at the dog to be quiet doesn't work then maybe you should try other methods. You as the dog owner can be cited for a nuisance violation. There can be fines and then if it continues the judge can order the dogs out of town. Don't risk losing your pet over a barking issue.

DON'T FORGET TO PURCHASE YOUR 2010 DOG TAGS NOW ON SALE

With a new pet you have sixty days to get the dog licensed. A puppy doesn't have to be licensed until they are six months old. If you have a dog that you have had in the City of Carlin longer than sixty days or is a pup older than six months you will be subject to a $15.00 penalty.

Adopting a Friend

Our current adoption fee is $25.00. To adopt one of the animals come look at the one you want to adopt and then we have a form to fill out and the animal is yours.

Shipping

I will ship the dogs via airlines, as that is the only shipping currently available. The dogs are shipped via Delta Dash program. The airline requires a healtth ceritficate for the dog to be shipped so you are responsible for the vet costs as well. There is also a fee for purchasing a dog carrier to place the dog in for travel. Check out Delta's website for prices on shipping an animal via the Dash program. I do not require the adoption fee when shipping any dog due to the cost of shipping. Any other questions you have regarding shipping please feel free to call me as I may have an answer for you. Due to recent events, all costs will need to be paid for up front. The animal will be shipped once all expenses are paid for. If paying for vet expenses with a credit card I will verify with the vet that the expenses have been paid for before the animal is taken in for its check up.

Email

I appreciate all the email that I have gotten. I also enjoy hearing about how all the animals that have been adopted are doing. One thing to remember before emailing me about adopting a dog is that I can not adopt to anyone under the age of 18 without the parents permission. I also ask that unless you are serious about adopting a dog to not email me. I recieve several emails from people claiming they would like to adopt a dog, but then it turns out they are not serious about it. Don't diminish the dogs chances of adoption by falsely emailing to adopt it. When I am under the impression the dog is going to be adopted, everyone else that inquires about the dog is placed on a list. When the email inquiry doesn't follow through it is usually too late and the other people have found another dog already which then leads to the dog in question beign euthanized.
