SANDY's Story

This petite girl is a little over a year old and weighs only 45 pounds. She is spayed and up to date on her shots. Some of her favorite activities are going for walks, chewing on her nylabones, and playing with her foster brother (she is quite submissive with our older male dog). She can have spurts of puppy energy but settles down quickly and has no issues sleeping through the night. Although Sandy is a little shy at first with new people and dogs, she warms up quickly and is super sweet. She would do great in a house with a backyard and another younger dog to show her the ropes. She seems to have a high prey drive (obsessed with squirrels) so a cat-free home would be ideal. Because of her energy levels, she also would do best in a home without toddlers (kids less than 10 years old) or elderly people. She’s super smart and is both house and crate trained. She has made great improvements in her manners since coming to her foster home and has quickly learned basic commands and walking nicely on a leash.

The Puppy Coalition's Adoption Policy
1. We take a preliminary application to screen those who have expressed interest in adopting a dog. We ask for a video walk through of the home and property. We ask for a copy of the driver's license of the "primary" adopter. 2. If the applicant passes the initial application screen which addresses a wide variety of factors regarding the home, the people in the home, other animals in the home, the nature of the yard and fencing, their plan to make sure the animal gets good exercise, and other key questions that relate to a safe and nice life for the dog, we will schedule an interview and a Meet and Greet with the dog they are interested in. 3. If the applicant passes this interview and they are still interested in the dog after the meeting, we take an adoption application where, among other things, we get non-relative references and a veterinarian reference. 4. Then an actual home visit is done and we ask that all family members be present. 5. We then evaluate each qualified and approved adopter candidate that we have for the dog of interest and make a determination on which is the best fit for that dog. 6. Then we arrange for a training session. This is more important for some dogs and families than others but it is important because many dogs have issues and many people don't understand how to properly deal with different problems, should they arise.
