My story

　　Please go to our website at  to find out more about this pet and to submit an adoption application.  Please DO NOT call or email us; all information about current dogs available, adoption donations, vetting, and this specific dog are on our website. We are a non-profit organization and we are completely 100% volunteer run. We DO NOT have a shelter and only approved applicants can make appointments with our foster homes to meet the dogs we have.Our volunteers will not discuss dogs we have available for adoption UNTIL you have an application on file and are approved to adopt.General Notes | Want to adopt this dog?  Please do not email us.  Please fill out the Adoption Application ASAP.   Health Notes | Healthy. Could probably put on another pound or two.Other Dogs | Friendly!Cats | Cat tested at shelter and did great. He has been up front with the cats and does not bother them.Children | Lived with children 7+.Training | Laker is a smart boy and eager to please! He has never lived inside before, so he is learning what it means to be an inside dog. After initial curiosity, he usually moves on and is quite the gentleman. We are working on building his confidence with stairs - one step at a time! He knows "sit" and "treats" and is food motivated. Leash | Laker walks well on a leash. He zig zags a little but he does not pull. He expresses mild interest in dogs we see on walks, but does not bark or lunge at them.Activity Level | Personality | Sweet and cuddly. This boy is a love bug and enjoys being close to his people.Story | He was an outside dog on a tether and owner surrendered when they moved and the new rental didn't allow dogs on chains. Thank you! | Adoption Donations | Our adoption donations are $425 for dogs 8 weeks to 1 year, $375 for 1-6 years, $325 for dogs 7-10 years, and $175 for 11+ years of age. Purebred dogs regardless of age are $475. These minimum donations help to defer the costs of initial vet care, food, and supplies while in foster care that currently average over $700 per dog).Meeting Dogs | Foster dogs may have meet & greets by appointment to approved applicants only.  To become an approved applicant - please complete the application process.Please know | Available dogs are updated as soon as possible and we do our best to keep it up-to-date, but occasionally dogs shown may become unavailable without notice due to a pending adoption.We encourage you to put in an application even if you don't see your new family member currently, as once you are approved, we can place you on the waiting list for first priority on the selection of the dogs we do bring in. That means you can often meet a dog upon transport arrival and adopt before they even make it to this page!We can not guarantee that a dog you wish to adopt is available by the time your adoption application is submitted, processed, and approved.  Your application is good for 90 days from the time of approval for any dog as long as it is a good fit for your family and your lifestyle. March 12, 2023, 4:50 pm
