We are committed to saving working breeds from high risk shelters and placing them in appropriate and fulfilling homes.  We are a foster based rescue and rely on the help of our fosters and donations to save the dogs we do.  For more up to date information on this dog please go to our website @ https://www.playk9rescue.org. The adoption fees for pets covers the cost of care and training which may have been for several weeks or several months depending on the health and training needs. The fee also covers all vet bills during this time to ensure his/her health is improved or maintained and provides you with assurance that this dog has been well cared for while in our possession and evaluated to meet your home's needs. Included in this fee is also life- long training support provided by PLAY! K9 Academy located in Bradenton, FL as well as Life time microchip registration. When you adopt from a local shelter, you may not receive any medical history for this dog nor will you receive any behavioral history. We hope you understand that the minimal adoption fee we are asking is to continue our mission to rescue unwanted herding and working breeds from shelters/owners and get them adopted to their forever home.
