Welcome to Green Dogs Unleashed

If you can see this post, Sinatra is still available for adoption. Please read through this entire description and complete an adoption application, if you are interested. Sending an inquiry to ask if the dog is still available will only delay the processing of your application. LOCAL ONLY means that if you are not within about an hour drive of Troy, VA, your application will not be considered.

*/*/* PLEASE NOTE:  The first communication you will receive after completing an application will be an email response, which will have instructions on how to proceed. Please check your inbox AND spam folders within 24 hours, for this email. We will not begin processing an application without the information requested in that email. */*/*

Introducing Sinatra, a 4 month old deaf Dalmatian puppy. This boy will steal your heart with his baby blues & sweet disposition. He is eager to please people and his foster dog-siblings. He is working on potty training, crate training, and has started Canine 101, using hand signals to communicate. He is all puppy & plenty of trouble, so he will do well in a home committed to positive reinforcement training, infinite patience, and full of activities (Dals make great running/hiking partners once fully grown). This boy will need a family with a fenced yard where he can burn off some of that energy. He would not be a good choice for apartment living.

>>> Because he is too young to neuter, we are looking for a LOCAL family that is willing to continue with our training program.  As we cannot hold him in foster care for a year (until he is old enough), we will be allowing his adopter to take him home, but will require a written commitment to having this surgery done prior to one year of age.  As such, adopters will be responsible for the full cost of neuter. Please check with your Vet regarding this expense prior to deciding on whether or not to apply.  Sinatra is being fostered in Charlottesville VA.

*/*/*  Young puppies will receive age-appropriate vaccines, and will usually be spayed/neutered prior to adoption (some exceptions may apply for large and x-large breeds). Adopters may be required to provide additional puppy boosters and at 16 weeks of age, a rabies vaccine. Future annual vaccines, testing and monthly heartworm preventative are REQUIRED, and will be the financial responsibility of the adopter.

GDU does ask a minimum adoption fee of 300.00. This does not even come close to covering all expenses created by animals while in rescue. We are funded solely by the angels and volunteers willing to donate time and finances. This minimum fee includes DAPP, rabies if age appropriate,, heartworm test and preventative, if age appropriate, and flea and tick treatment.  In an attempt to avoid tummy upset from a sudden change of food, the foster family may include a small, transitional bag of the food the dog/puppy has been eating. And if the dog/puppy has grown attached to a special item (like a toy or blanket), they may send that along, as well.
