A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME!


4/27/10: HELLO, MY NAME IS ROXY! I AM AN ADORABLE, FULL-BLOODED PORTUGUESE WATER DOG AND JUST AS SWEET AS CAN BE. I AM 9 MONTHS OLD AND JUST FULL OF PUPPY ENERGY AND LOVE! MY CURRENT OWNER NEEDS TO FIND ME AND MY SISTER, RUBY, A NEW HOME BECAUSE HE JUST DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME FOR US. HE SAYS WE DESERVE A HOME WHERE WE CAN BE THE CENTER OF ATTENTION. AS SOON AS MY RESCUE HELPERS GET MORE INFORMATION, THEY WILL POST IT TO MY PROFILE. RUBY AND I ARE REALLY HOPING TO STAY TOGETHER - WE JUST ADORE ONE ANOTHER!

I WILL BE SPAYED, UTD ON ALL SHOTS, ON HEARTWORM MEDS, AND MICROCHIPPED BEFORE GOING TO MY NEW FOREVER HOME.

GRACIE'S HEART OF GOLD REQUIRES ONGOING PROPER VETERINARY CARE FOR ALL ANIMALS ADOPTED TO INCLUDE HEARTWORM MEDICATIONS, FLEA MEDICATIONS, AND YEARLY VACCINATIONS.

GRACIES HEART OF GOLD DOES NOT SHIP OUR DOGS - WE REQUIRE A FACE TO FACE MEETING. WE ALSO DO NOT ADOPT OUR DOGS AS GIFTS UNLESS THE RECIPIENT MEETS WITH THE DOG PRIOR TO ADOPTION.


MY ADOPTION FEE IS: $TBD. THESE FEES HELP KEEP THE RESCUE GOING. PLEASE READ MORE!


Adoption fees average $150-$400. This fee varies per animal based on additional vet care required to save them. Due to the rising costs of veterinary care, premium holistic dog food, gasoline prices, and boarding fees, which are paid for out of our own pockets, we recently were forced to raise our fees. We are not funded by anyone - adoption fees help to offset only a part of our cost of getting the dog ready for adoption. All dogs > 6 months are vetted, up to date on vaccinations, spayed/neutered, microchipped, heartworm tested, wormed and have a goody starter bag. Puppies < 6 months will have at least 2 puppy vaccinations, microchipped, wormed, and goody starter bag. If age appropriate, will potentially also be spayed/neutered and have rabies vaccination also.


Please contact us at [email protected] for additional information.
