Spice's Story

SPICE, is an ebony coated, 80lb, 3yr old beauty who is finally ready for her forever home! She's had a big rescue journey from her beginning to where she is today. We rescued Spice and her three newborn puppies from a So. CA shelter when we discovered all were scheduled to be euthanized for their kennel space. Thankfully, we got the whole family out just in the nick of time. Spice was a wonderful Mom- very gentle and nurturing- and welcomed handling of her babies. She absolutely loves people and wants so much to bond and be someone's special girl. We don't think she has ever had that before and now that she has discovered how to be connected, she really desires that bond. After Spice's pups were raised and adopted, we began her rehabilitation: helping her gain needed weight after her pregnancy, working with her to master home manners, crate training, leash walking and increasing her exercise to help her get strong and fit, all while we waiting months post delivery for the best time to have her spayed. She really began to shine and thrive with this extra attention and love. She has attended some obedience and socializing classes and we've discovered how much she loves to learn and her focus is really dialing in. Spice is treat motivated, takes correction easily and wants to please her people. She has a dominant play style and can be selective about her dog friends, preferring calm, neutral energy. At the rescue, she is honestly more interested in the humans than the dogs. Spice has so much love to give. Spice is more beautiful and physically fit than ever before, she is a wonderful, people friendly pup that is full of energy and looking for an active family that likes to be on the go. A family or single person that loves to hike or run, has experience with German Shepherds and truly enjoys dog activities, especially training would be her ideal home. She will repay her lucky person with incredible devotion and loyalty and companionship.

Animal Rescue & K9 Charities Inc's Adoption Policy

1. Submit Application https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/10422/generic Additional Adoption Info Step 1 If you are sending an inquiry about one of our dogs, please be sure to include YOUR LOCATION, PHONE NUMBER AND IF YOU OWN OR RENT. Interested in a ARK Charities/Redemption Rescue dog or having us find a dog for you? Please contact us so that we can conduct an initial phone interview. During this time we will arrange to have you submit an application! Step 2 Once you have been provided an application to submit, please be sure to be as detailed as possible, and include all requested information to prevent delays in processing your application (including an email address that you check often). You will receive a confirmation email as soon as your application has been received. If you have not received this confirmation within 48 hours, please check your junk mail and contact our Adoptions Coordinator at adopt@redemptionrescue.org to confirm receipt of application. Step 3 We will perform landlord, veterinarian, and reference checks. This part of the process can take 5-7 days to complete. If we have any trouble contacting your references, we will reach out to you. Step 4 If all goes well in step 2, you will be pre-approved to adopt and move on to our placement team! Our placement team is dedicated to helping you meet the perfect dog. That may be the dog you see being promoted or it may be another dog that we feel may be a better fit for you and your family and lifestyle situation. The dog you are initially matched up with you may be one of our available dogs, or a dog that may be in a partner rescue that we work with, (and we will work on your behalf to get the dog for you from the rescue) or a dog that we will go out and find specifically for you. This is a unique service that we offer and have been very successful at achieving because we rescue dogs from all over the country and we really know our dogs given that we have all dogs evaluated prior to rescuing them. Step 5 Working together with the prospective adopter, when we have collectively decided to that you are qualified to adopt one of the dogs, we will complete a home visit (which also may be conducted at the time of the meet and greet, which will take place at most times the adopter’s home). An experienced volunteer will come to your home and meet with you and your family, we require all family members and animals living in the household to be present. We complete a check of the home, a property and fence check, as well as discuss GSD education. In some situations, we may require a home visit before pre-approval, however this is only for certain cases. Step 6 If you are selected to have a home visit prior to meeting, after your home visit is complete a decision will be made on your adoption status. If you are approved to adopt and the home check is to be performed at the time you will be meeting the dog you have worked with placement to select! Step 7 A detailed contract will be provided to the adopter and must be completed prior to bringing the dog into your family. The fee for the dog is actually is a contribution to repay just some of the expenses associated with the dog and is discussed specifically and dependent upon each individual dog.
