Meet Skipper

~~~~~
We are SO SORRY TO ADVISE YOU ... We are NO LONGER ADOPTING TO MASSACHUSETTS RESIDENTS DUE TO STRICTER AND UNATTAINABLE REGULATIONS !!

Arriving 2.20.2012
Skipper is a 5 month old Dachshund (Beagle??) mix that weighs 12 pounds. HE was found loitering around the town dumpsters and our volunteer , Daphanie scooped him up and took him home.
After a warm meal, a warm bath and a soft bed, he looked a LOT better.
We have since had all of his vetting tended to and he will be here 1/23/2021. He is energetic and "BUBBLY" Perhaps we SHOULD have called him Champagne - or per haps Prosecco!
He is only 5-6 months of age and an absolute love-bug... Thanks to Mister Robinson for modeling!
We think that he will only get 18-20 pounds as a full adult size!

THANK YOU !!! You are giving a first rate dog a second chance....By adopting!

***** SADLY , we need to put this in print: THIS IS A RESCUE DOG. We do NOT know their birthday / age. (unless other wise noted)
More often than not, OUR TEAM has saved them from euthanasia in Southern shelters.
We do not know any more than our Veterinarians offer to us.
We often have them in kennels, and utilize crate training. House training status is often NOT KNOWN.
Prior Health, estimated weight (as an adult), breed (Including the parents' breed , size or mix) and some health concerns are NOT KNOWN unless our veterinarians discover it and offer the information to us. Again, these are strays and turn ins from all over the country. They do NOT come with labels; nor guarantees.

Characteristics and disposition can and will evolve with time.
YOU the adopter are responsible to train and keep up to date on vaccines and preventatives.
YOU the adopter are responsible for taking care of this new member of your family.
*************

****
Our adoption fees are $ 600. This fee includes the transportation of the pet from one of the organizations that we work with in TX, LA or TN. Before joining us in RI all dogs are: spayed/neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and on de-wormers, flea/tick and heartworm prevention. In addition, all adults (6 months +) are heartworm tested and MUST be negative for both heartworm and microfilaria before transport.

In addition to the above, all dogs must have a Certificate of Veterinary Inspection and be deemed healthy per USDA law in order to travel. Once they have been certified they are then transported via USDA transport services only, which is required by law.
We sometimes don't understand how bad the situation is for these pups and dogs in southern states. Many people in the south don't spay or neuter their pets as we do here. Subsequently, there are thousands of beautiful , worthy pups and dogs, kittens and cats that are dumped, shot, abandoned, brought into shelters, neglected, abused and abandoned. We step in , tend to their veterinary needs. As you can see above, we never fail to properly spay and neuter. Everything is done with the caring , capable hands of our veterinarians to get them healthy and ready to place them for adoption. That's when we put the demand for family- friendly pets with the supply .....

Give a first rate dog a second chance!!!! ADOPT!


Keep in mind that we also offer a two week return policy for the return of a healthy dog that includes a full refund. We want to make sure that the adoption is a perfect fit for both you and the dog.
