ATHENA HAS AN ADOPTION PENDING.

Meet Major’s Pups – Sophie, Athena, Lady, Mocha, & Ruthie.  Born 2/7/22, this coming Monday (4/4) they will be 8 weeks old and ready to move in with their forever families!

Our best assessment (NO GUARANTEE) is that they are Cattle Dog/Beagle/possibly Spaniel mixes and will be in the 40-lb range when full grown.  Again, this is a best assessment only; no guarantees.

These babies were born in the home of a local NC family where they received excellent care, and that family then entrusted the pups to us.  Momma Major is staying with this family, and we have her set for her spay shortly.

All of these puppies are overall just well socialized, balanced pups.  They love everyone they meet and are instantly “all in” with sharing their love.  Not one of them is shy or withdrawn. 

They play hard & sleep hard.  Athena will likely do well in a more active home with outlets for her potential Cattle Dog energy.  However, once she has had appropriate mental and physical exertion, she's a great snuggler!

While not overly mouthy, they still have sharp puppy teeth and nails - a consideration with small kids and appropriate expectations.  They are fostered with other adult dogs, who the pups are pretty enamored with - as well as cats, who sometimes seem fun to romp after-typical puppy stuff; foster mom is working on teaching that feline housemates are really just for observing.

Keep in mind that adopting a puppy is more than falling in love with a picture.  Along with lots of love, these pups (like all pups) will need leadership from their humans and continued training to allow them to become good canine citizens. 

To pursue adoption, please register on www.safeatlast.net.  (Click Register on the left-hand side of our homepage.)  When you receive your password on your email account, please log back on to our website to complete the SAFE AT LAST on-line adoption application.  (Click Forms/Application on the left-hand side of our homepage and select the Adoption Application.) Once we have your completed application, if we feel you are a good match, we will contact you by email to schedule the phone interview to commence the review process.  (So, please check your SPAM.)  Our process is straightforward but involves the phone interview, reference checks and a home assessment.  An adoption fee of $450, and a refundable $35 spay/neuter deposit, also apply.

YOU CANNOT MEET THE PUPS UNTIL YOU HAVE BEEN APPROVED TO ADOPT.  WE CANNOT CONSIDER YOU UNTIL YOU HAVE SUBMITTED THE FULLY FILLED OUT SAFE AT LAST ON-LINE ADOPTION APPLICATION.  Delay in submitting your application will put you behind other potentially suitable applicants.  Ultimately, approved adopters will be required to pick the pups up (after arrival in NY) in Schoharie County.

Thank you for your interest in these sweet, beautiful pups!

If you are seriously interested, YOU NEED TO APPLY.  Also, a follow-up email to info@safeatlast.net is strongly recommended.

(We cannot respond to generic "check the box" petfinder inquiries.)
