After a traumatic accident caused one of her eyes to pop out of its socket, quick action helped save not only her eye but also her vision. Today, Ana is thriving and doesn't let her past slow her down one bit.<br/><br/>Ana is the definition of a dog who knows her worth. She isn't interested in becoming best friends with everyone she meets. Trust is something that must be earned, and Ana prefers to decide when you're worthy of her affection. But once youve made it into her inner circle, youll discover a loyal companion who enjoys sharing lifes adventures with her favorite people.<br/><br/>She absolutely loves treats, enjoys going for walks, and adapted easily to a new potty routine in her foster home. Ana also has a special fondness for cats and would be happy to share her home with a feline friend.<br/><br/>When it comes to other dogs, Ana is selective. Very selective. Shes a bit of a bossy girl and only chooses to play with dogs that meet her approval. Because of this, she would likely be happiest as an only dog or in a home with a very easygoing canine companion who respects her boundaries.<br/><br/>Ana isnt looking for just any home. Shes looking for the right home. One that understands that the best relationships arent rushed and that some of lifes greatest rewards come from earning the trust of a dog who chooses to love you.<br/><br/>If youre patient, understanding, and appreciate a dog with a little sass and a lot of heart, Ana may be the perfect match.<br/><br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting please complete our Adoption Application by copying and pasting the following link into your web browser: http://www.caninecastaways.org/adoption-application<br/><br/>For a full list of dogs we currently have for adoption use this link: https://www.caninecastaways.org/adoptable-dogs<br/><br/><br/>MEDICAL INFO:<br/><br/><br/>The following has been or will be done for this dog...<br/>- Basic Exam by Veterinarian<br/>- Spayed or Neutered<br/>- Heartworm Tested<br/>- Placed on heartworm preventive<br/>- Basic Bloodwork<br/>- Urinalysis<br/>- Microchipped<br/>- Intestinal Parasite Exam and medication<br/>- Vaccinations<br/>- Placed on Flea preventive<br/><br/><br/>ADOPTION DONATION: $300<br/><br/><br/>This adoption donation helps to cover the vet expenses for this dog including heartworm preventive which is dispensed at the initial vet visit and then goes with the dog at adoption.

Canine Castaways's Adoption Policy
Once your application is received, it will be forwarded to a volunteer to set up a home visit and check your references. It is important that all applicants understand that it is the policy of Canine Castaways, Inc. that all pets in a possible adoptive home be spayed/neutered prior to adoption unless there is a medical reason for not doing so and have an excellent veterinary history with your current/past pets. Once you are approved for a dog, you will be invited to meet the dog at a date and time convenient to the foster family or at an adoption event. Our goal is to place healthy, well-adjusted dogs. All of our dogs are vet checked including spayed or neutered; heartworm tested (preventive dispensed if negative and treatment started if positive); up to date on vaccinations (rabies, parvo, distemper); basic blood test performed; urinalysis; placed on flea/tick preventative if needed; intestinal parasite exam performed and treated accordingly; and provided with any other medical care necessary (dentals, surgeries, etc). All dogs have a numbered stainless steel Canine Castaways ID tag and are also microchipped for permanent identification. All vet records are provided to the adopter along with the remainder of the 6 month supply of heartworm preventive dispensed. Our adoption donation, which is normally $300 for an adult dog or $400 for a puppy, is to help offset these veterinary expenses. We also have reduced donations for senior dogs 8 years and older ($150). Our adoption contract allows for a dog to be returned within 30 calendar days for a full refund regardless of the reason; otherwise, all donations are non-refundable after that time. If any significant pre-existing undiagnosed medical problems arise within the first month after adoption, Canine Castaways will pay for treatment at Fur-Ever Friends in Arcadia. If for any reason you decide you no longer can keep your adopted dog, the dog MUST be returned to Canine Castaways.
