He has a sweet personality, a heart full of love, and a tail that seems to have forgotten there's any reason not to wag.<br/><br/>A fenced yard with soft grass would be a dream come true for him. He enjoys exploring, sniffing around, and soaking up all the good things life has to offer.<br/><br/>Crayola's one challenge is that he can be very reactive toward other dogs. While he's making progress, he currently needs careful management around canine companions and is not a dog that can simply be turned loose with every dog he meets. Because of this, he may do best as an only dog or with an experienced adopter willing to continue working on his behavior.<br/><br/>What Crayola lacks in perfect mobility, he more than makes up for in courage.<br/><br/>What he lacks in confidence around other dogs, he makes up for in love for people.<br/><br/>And what he lacks in luck so far, were hoping to make up for with the perfect forever family.<br/><br/>Crayola has already overcome more than most dogs ever will. Now all he needs is a home where he can spend the rest of his life doing what he does best:<br/><br/>Loving people and proving that obstacles don't define you.<br/><br/>They simply make your story more inspiring.<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.
