CRYSTAL's story

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

　　Crystal is a star ball player and covers ground quickly with her long legs. She needs lots of exercise daily! She will be placed with experienced and very active German Shepherd or Northern Breed handlers, and in home with a LARGE, securely-fenced backyard. Another friendly, very active dog in the home would help her burn off energy! Once she is done playing and is tired, she is a VERY loving and affectionate dog. Welcome to Better Days, Crystal!

　　Before Crystal's adoption is finalized, she must complete Canine Good Citizen training with her new family. She is *exceptionally smart* and truly wants to please; for the right family, training will be a joy and not a chore! She is an amazing dog!

　　We lack fosters with young children, so families with kids over the age of eight years of age are welcome to apply.

　　If you believe you're a possible match for CRYSTAL PLEASE navigate to our animal list /animals/list and rea d this dog's entire, detailed profile AND our policies prior to completing an adoption application!

　　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.

　　Dogs remain posted while we screen potential adopters. As long as dog is designated "Available" we continue to accept applications.

　　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!
