ASHTON's story

　　You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

　　Ashton was rescued from a situation where she spent all day, every day outdoors. She is loving life in air-conditioned comfort, is being treated for Valley Fever. We'll post new photos soon -- she has perked up, is walking better and wagging her tail for us!

　　We are still getting to know Ashton so please consider "favoriting" her profile to be notified of updates. We're told that she's friendly with people, dogs, cats, and chickens (!)

　　Ashton temporarily needs a quiet foster home where she can rest and gently exercise her sore leg while it heals. If you would like to provide care for Ashton, please complete our foster application/agreement posted here.

　　It will be some time before we know Ashton's specific longterm needs, but if you believe you're a possible permanent match for Ashton, please complete an adoption application! She will remain posted while we get to know her; until she is designated "**Adoption Pending**" we will continue to accept applications.

　　We encourage you to register on our site and "Favorite" the dog(s) that interest you, so that you will be notified when bio or photos are updated.

　　**IMPORTANT**

　　"Companion animal" means, needs at least one other friendly, playful dog that lives in the same household.

　　"Fenced yard" means, a backyard that is adjacent to and connected with your residence. (It does not mean a nearby fenced area/dog park.)

　　Gates must have padlocks and thresholds (cement or buried pavers to prevent digging.)

　　Yard and patio must be free of debris and have room for dogs to run and play on a lawn and/or a very shaded area.

　　We do not place dogs in situations where there are "drained" or empty swimming pools, which are a fall hazard and contribute to the propogation of mosquitos.

　　We DO NOT adopt to students as we have found that they often do not know or anticipate where life is taking them next.

　　We are staffed by all volunteers and use an application protocol to handle all inquiries about adoptable dogs. This system enables an efficiency that allows us to save and care for more dogs. Discussion about a dog - including scheduling of a home check or other dialogue - cannot occur until we have received your completed adoption application. NO EXCEPTIONS. Thank you!
