Plantain 's Story

At 8 years old, Plantain is a sweet, loving senior who has spent far too much of his life in and out of the shelter system—but his heart is still wide open.<br/><br/>Our sweet Plantain is ready for his forever home, and he’s hoping this new year brings him the family he’s been waiting for.<br/><br/>Plantain is the perfect blend of active and relaxed. He enjoys his daily walks, training time, and mental enrichment, but he’s just as happy to settle in for long naps, quiet evenings, and cuddles. A true German Shepherd at heart, he loves learning and has done wonderfully in training. His puppy energy has softened into an eager-to-please, steady companion who just wants to be by your side.<br/><br/>Plantain is affectionate, easygoing, and thriving in his foster home. He would do best with an adopter who can provide structure, routine, and his own designated places in the home to help him continue feeling safe and confident as he blossoms.<br/><br/>Adopters will also have access to group training twice a week, which Plantain truly enjoys — and sleeps quite well afterwards!<br/><br/>Because of his size and senior status, he’s best suited for a home with dog-savvy children ages 8+ who can respect his boundaries as an older gentleman.<br/><br/>- Dog friendly<br/>- No cat assessment yet — even with a positive assessment, he would likely need training<br/><br/>Plantain has so much love to give and is ready to spend his golden years as a cherished family member.

Roxy's Ranch Haven's Adoption Policy
Our rescued animals are looking for loving, responsible forever homes. Rescue dogs are pulled from overcrowded shelters where they have been listed for euthanasia due to space. To ensure they find the best match, here’s how our adoption process works: 1. Select a Pet Browse through our available animals and click on the one you’re interested in inquiring about. You may visit https://roxysranchhaven.org/for-adoption/ to do this as well. If you are unsure which animal is the best fit for you, but would like to adopt, please continue with Step 2. 2. Complete the Adoption Application Fill out the form completely, including all details that will help us ensure a good match between you and the animal. 3. Phone Screening Once your application is submitted, a member of our team will contact you for a phone screening to go over your information and confirm if the pet is a good fit. 4. Schedule a Farm Visit If approved, we’ll arrange a time for you to visit Roxy’s Ranch Haven to meet the animal in person. This will be confirmed by email or during your call. 5. Adoption Fee & Paperwork After your visit, you’ll receive an email with instructions for submitting the $350 adoption fee (which supports the farm) along with the post-adoption form and official paperwork, including shelter notes and medical records. 6. Meet your future pet During your visit, you’ll spend time with the pet you’re interested in and get to know them better. 7. Submit Final Paperwork Once all required forms and paperwork are returned, your adoption is nearly complete! 8.
