Grits the Dog needs a home

Updated: 2/3/18


Name: Grits


Gender: Female


Breed: Hound/Terrier Mix


Age: Approx 1.5 years old


Weight: Approx 40 lbs


 


People here in GA sometimes say that “Grits” means “Girls Raised In The South”. While that slogan, and the food Grits is pretty Southern, I’m hoping to become a Midwesterner soon!


 


My last people just thought dogs should all live outside. They thought dogs should just run all over the place- whenever and wherever. They didn’t think I need to be spayed. I ended up having a litter of pups. Some people picked up my puppies and found them all homes because my humans didn’t care. I stayed there, until one day I wandered too far and someone brought me to the shelter. My people never came to pick me up.


 


That’s OK though. Now I’m happy because I am spayed, and I am getting the chance to be someone's forever friend- and not just a lawn ornament!


 


Adoption Fee: $400.00


We are a Wisconsin state licensed dog rescue -WI# 402433


 


***We do not have a central adoption center at this time. All our dogs are in private foster homes within WI. At this time we only place our dogs in areas of WI. The breed of our dogs is our best guess with the help of our veterinarians.


Our Weight Classes are as follows:

0- 25lbs - Small

26- 45lbs - Medium

46-89 - Large

90+ X-large

If you are adopting an adult dog, which we consider 6 months of age or older, your adoption fee includes the following:


Spay/Neuter, Rabies and Distemper shots, dewormed, flea & tick preventative, heartworm tested and microchipped.


If you are adopting a dog younger than 6 months of age, the dog will be up to date on the shots as per the dogs age. The dog will be dewormed, flea/tick preventative and microchipped. We only spay/neuter our dogs by 6 months of age. If you decide to adopt a younger dog than 6 months of age, they will need to be spayed/neutered at one of our preferred clinics. This will be determined by your contract along with the month they should have their surgery. This is included in your adoption fee.


Once you are approved with our rescue, you can meet any one of our dogs within the fosters home. If you are interested in the dog you met, you can take the dog home under our mandatory foster to adopt program. You receive 5 days to see if the dog is the right fit for your home.


If it is, we will conduct the home visit and finalize adoption. If it is not, it is returned to the foster. We are happy to find you another dog that meets your needs in your home.


If a dog is listed as PENDING, a family has met the dog and planning on adopting the dog after the home visit has been conducted. We always suggest sending in an application for a dog because there are times where the dogs are given back to us under the foster to adopt program. There are many reasons dogs are returned but normally it just was not the right fit for all.
