Zara

Zara came to us as a stray back in February. Zara was here for a month before finding her home on a farm. She lived on the farm for almost a year before she had an incident with a goat. One day, her owner came home to find her in the goat pen, and one of the family's goats had blood all over its upper body. So, she was brought back.<br/><br/>Since Zara's return, we noticed she is much more mature and well-behaved than she was originally. Her original adopter did not get her fixed so she is also sponsored! She lived around cats, dogs, and chickens! We did note during her exam that she doesn't have a lot of self-control when taking food from your hands. If you block or cover the food, she leaves it alone, but she is a little snatchy with her hand given treats. Because of this we would advise against adopting her if you have small children under 5.<br/><br/>The adoption fee of $100 is a refundable deposit. The adopter will be responsible to have the animal spayed or neutered within 90 days at the clinic of their choosing. If this is completed within the required 90 days the adopter is to submit required documentation that includes a spay/neuter certificate, a receipt for the spay/neuter, and a rabies certificate to get their refund of up to the deposited amount. Spay and Neuter is required for adoption per our adoption contract and by Indiana State Law. We accept cash, card (with a 3% charge), and check.<br/><br/>All dogs receive at least 1 distemper/parvo and Bordetella vaccine. If possible a heartworm test will be done and if negative the dog will be started on heartworm prevention. All animals receive a flea and parasite prevention/treatment and will be microchipped.<br/><br/>All animals can go home the same day as adoption. We will need your photo ID and you will sign some documents. Adopters will also receive a copy of the animal's medical history to date. We do not do an application process. All adoptions are first come, first serve. We do not offer holds.<br/><br/>We do not require in most cases that adopters bring all their families members and dogs for a meet and greet. But we do highly encourage it. We are happy to introduce the new dog to your dog(s) at the shelter. No appointment necessary.<br/><br/>We do offer home trials of dogs over 6 months of age for about a week. You will not need to pay the adoption fee (spay neuter deposit) ahead of time, but if you decide to adopt you will need to return to the shelter to complete the paperwork and pay the adoption deposit. If you do not wish to complete the adoption, you can bring the dog back at any time during normal business hours during your home trial period. We do not allow after hours drop off.
