Dogs Day Out

Home / Dogs Day Out

The new “Dogs Day Out” program is a great way to spend the day with a shelter dog. If you have wanted to volunteer or foster and you don’t have the time, this is for you. One afternoon out of your day to make a shelter dog so happy is all it takes. This program means you can take a dog out for the day to spoil it, take to the dog park, take for a walk or just take home and love it for the day. This program is great for those that live in an apartment and cant have a dog or maybe you just don’t have the time to have a dog of your own.

The dogs that will be available for this program will be those that are over 4 months old that have been fully vaccinated. If you have animals and are taking the dog to your house we will require that your animals are spayed/neutered and up to date on shots.

Dogs will be able to leave by 7am and will need to be returned to the shelter by 6pm. There is a short form that will need to be completed https://form.jotform.com/92536236520959 before you are able to participate. Also you will need to be over the age of 18.

Reeba

Ms. Reeba has been with us for a while now. She came in unbeknownst to us expecting puppies. She had 5 puppies after a very tough delivery and only one puppy survived. She raised her baby and when the baby was sent to foster we started working on getting Reeba ready for a forever home. She is a 4 year old Shiloh Shepherd. After she weaned her baby we had her spayed. She was heartworm positivet. She has finished her treatments. We want to tell you about Reeba's personality. She is a very high energy dog who is pretty stubborn. She LOVES humans and now that she has been spayed and her hormones hve settled down she is doing fine with male dogs. She has a very high prey drive so will not be adopted into a home with cats or small dogs. She HATES a crate and can destroy it in under 30 seconds - and we do mean destroy it completely. She is completely housebroken and much prefers a soft spot to sleep in when it is bed time. She is not good with "doggie beds" - they are a toy to her and are shredded fairly quickly. She is very curious about everything in her surroundings. She is doing better walking on a leash each time she goes out for a walk. Reeba's adoption fee is $200.00 plus the 6 month supply of Heartguard (which is $55.00). She will have to stay on her heartguard monthly without fail since she just had treatment for heartworms. This is a simple chewable that is given to her once a month. At the conclusion of that six months she will need to have another heartworm check done to assure heartworms are all gone. If directions are followed we have never found this to be an issue. Reeba would do best if she has a fenced in area to play in but for the right person who can get her the exercise she requires it is a discussion we can have. Shiloh Shepherds are amazing and smart dogs - Reeba just needs lots of love and attention to thrive. She would probably be a little too rough on small children. She MUST have a home that can exercise her daily. If interested in Reeba, please submit an adoption application from our website at www.patriotsforpets.com and if approved come out and meet her and plan on spending some time with her and taking her for a walk so you can get the full picture of what she is like.

Lucky

This young lady we named Lucky. She was a stray running around with a pack of dogs and she was the only one that was willing to come up to people. She is an awesome girl but man has she had a hard life. The vet thinks she is only about a year old. She looks about 4 or 5 - scars from being attacked - one ear is split in two, teeth are in not great shape from fending for herself. So very sad. She is looking for a home that will show her LOVE - unconditional love. We doubt she has ever had it and she is really loving the fact the staff is paying attention to her. To our amazement it seems she is housebroken and knows some basic commands. She is now spayed, current on her shots, wormed, heartworm negative and micro-chipped. She just needs LOVE. She appears to get along fine with other non-aggressive dogs, has no problem with kids or adults. Amazing dog for someone with lots of love to give. Her adoption fee will be $200.00. If you have the love to give Lucky please go to our website at www.patriotsforpets.com and complete an adoption application. We believe she is a Border Collie mix. Not a very big girl at around 40 lbs.
