Yes… fuzz!<br/>** His ears are looking so much better.<br/>** He’s taking thyroid medication to help regulate his body and support healthy skin and coat growth.<br/><br/>Healing like this doesn’t happen overnight. It’s slow, steady, and sometimes measured in millimeters of fluff. But every small change feels like striking gold.<br/>Right now, because his skin is still delicate, Ducky has to wear soft t-shirts to help protect him from scratching and irritation. We change them daily to keep everything clean and comfortable. <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/>MEDICAL INFO: <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/>- Geriatric Bloodwork<br/>- Microchipped<br/>- Intestinal Parasite Exam and medication<br/>- Vaccinations<br/>- Placed on flea preventive<br/>- Dental, if needed<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>Visit us at www.caninecastaways.org

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.
