THURSTON
Adoption Pending

1/22/08: This handsome fella is Thurston; you know, like Thurston Howell, III, on Gilligan's Island. He was lost, you see, but now he's found and he's in a much better place.

Thurston is a black horsecoat. He'll be 4 years old on 7/17/08. He's such a sweet boy even though he had very little care in his previous life. He was absolutely filthy and his ears looked like they had never, ever been cleaned. He was an angel, though, getting a bath and having his ears cleaned.

Thurston has obviously lived in an airline crate for most of his life because that's where he seems to be more comfortable. His foster mom is working on that though, so he'll come to understand how much fun he can have outside his crate with people and other dogs.

Thurston is heartworm positive and must undergo treatment before he can be placed for adoption. He will not be available for about two months, but check back periodically to see how he's doing.

2/20/08: Thurston will begin his heartworm treatment on 2/25, so he won't be available for adoption until around the first week of April. Thurston has really taken to the good life of living inside where it's warm and cozy. He's absolutely no trouble at all. He's very well behaved and house trained. Check back for updates on this sweet boy.

6/30/08: We have done Thurston a great disservice by inadvertently not updating his information. Thurston has been heartworm free since April 7, and could have been enjoying his new home for almost three months. We are very sorry, Thurston.  Thurston is absolutely no trouble at all. He's so laid back and easy; he's a real joy to have around. So,for those of you who have been looking at Thurston over and over, he's ready now!

  

We require that a home visit by a volunteer be done prior to adoption. The purpose of the home visit is to ensure that the information given during the adoption process is correct and that the home is the right match for the dog being adopted. The home visit also gives adopters a chance to ask questions about the adoption process.

The adoption fee for Thurston is $225, which helps to offset the cost of his medical care.

If you have trouble filling out our application, please let us know and we will be happy to provide you with an application via email or "snail" mail.
