​FOSTER ANIMALS

We believe that every breeder has an obligation to do whatever they can to prevent animals from becoming homeless i.e., being surrendered to a shelter or being abandoned. If our schedule, space, and financial resources permit, we regularly foster (temporarily) a companion pet that would otherwise become homeless and we keep it until a permanent home can be found.

We cannot keep these animals permanently. Being that we are breeders, who put a lot of thought before choosing which animals to include in our breeding program, it would not be prudent of us to keep any animals that come to us with uncertifiable history.

We can only temporarily accommodate a couple of animals at any given time and although we will not be keeping them forever, we do keep them for however long it takes to find them a suitable, permanent home. 

While an animal is in our care, if we suspect that it is sick and requires veterinary care, we will see to it that it gets the care it needs. Then it will remain in our care until it is in good health, before re-homing it.

Over the years, animals have come to us from people who for personal reasons, can no longer adequately care for their pet. Some have come from people who have simply lost interest in their pet or from people who are in desperate need to rehome the pet. Others have come from breeders who have decided to get out of breeding or from shelters, rescues, or veterinarian clinics, who may lack the experience or the facilities to properly care for these pets. In most cases the person or facility that is surrendering the animal has already exhausted their efforts at finding a permanent home for the pet and perhaps some of them are becoming a bit more desperate. Based on our own experience, by the time someone finally contacts us to take in a pet they are usually already quite stressed by the ordeal and only contact us because they hope that we will do what we can to ensure their pet finds a caring home. 

If we agree to take an animal in to temporarily foster, we always ask people to include any health records and a brief note that outlines the pertinent information regarding the pets’ past, most people forget this step and do not bring any paperwork or anything in writing. While we believe that most people wanting what is best for their pet, are honest and try to be accurate with dates, sometimes out of desperation some people simply tell us the things that they think we want to hear. Therefore, when a pet arrives with no history or verifiable information that accompanies it,  we can only rely on own expertise to assess the pet while it is being quarantined and we  make an educated guess and pass what we feel/learn to a potential adopters.  

PRICES ARE NOT NEGOTIABLE

We do not believe in giving away free animals. (There is no such thing as a free pet so, don’t bother asking.) Prices for older animals or animals in Foster or those with Special Needs are posted and the price is not negotiable. Although they do vary somewhat, they are very reasonable. The fee we ask helps offset but seldom covers the cost we incur while the animal is with us (for health care, food, bedding, deworming, flea/mite control, etc.). 

DEPOSIT / PAYMENT

We require a minimum of 25% deposit before we will hold a pet and is never considered on Hold or Sold unless a deposit has been received.

To avoid confusion, never send a deposit until we agree to it first. 

If, after we agree to a sale, payments can be paid via Email Money Transfer, PayPal or Cash.
