Meet stunning Yona (which is Native American for "Bear").  Yona came to us from KY along with siblings Anna, Abey, Dakotah, Kimi, Mochican, Onondaga, Pooseatuck, and Tuscarora.  These pups are happy, playful, affectionate babies.  As for breed mix, our best assessment is that they all have retriever, but there appear to be several dads in this litter -- perhaps shepherd, chow, redbone coonhound ??  We cannot guarantee heritage, but be are sure these babies are wonderful pups!! 

Right now (10/31), we estimate that the pups are between 12 and 13 weeks old (as comfirmed by our vet).  We expect they will range from the upper end of medium to large when full grown.   

As for Yona, she is an incredbily happy, affectionate, playful puppy.  She loves to play with her siblings, as well as get lots of loving from her humans.  Yona is also positively gorgeous -- her soft thick coat has the most gorgeous golden highlights - she looks like someone took a paintbrush and painted gold on her thick dark coat.  Yona is incredibly affectionate with her foster mom and the other visitors around here... She is sure to bond very strongly with her people... she will bypass treats for extra loving.  This pup is sure to return her family's love 100-fold.  If you want a once in a lifetime pup, who will bond with you forever, Yona could be the one for you.

If you have the time, willingness and ability to commit to Yona – for her whole life – no matter what may lie ahead in yours, 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, then log back on to the website with your username and password to complete the online adoption application (click Forms/Applications on the left-hand side of our homepage).  Once we have your application, we will contact you by email to schedule the phone interview to commence the review process.  Our process is very straightforward but does involve the phone interview, reference checks and a home assessment.  An adoption fee of $375, and a refundable $35 spay/neuter deposit (required by NYS law), also apply.

All of these pups are being fostered in private homes; we do not have a centralized facility.  THEREFORE, PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT YOU CANNOT MEET THE PUPS UNTIL YOU HAVE BEEN APPROVED FOR ADOPTION.  AND, YOU CANNOT BE CONSIDERED FOR ADOPTION UNTIL YOU HAVE COMPLETED THE ONLINE ADOPTION APPLICATION.  ALSO, APPROVED ADOPTERS ARE REQUIRED TO COME TO THE FOSTER HOME (IN SCHOHARIE COUNTY, NY) TO COMPLETE THE ADOPTION.  WE DO NOT DELIVER OR SHIP OUR RESCUE ANIMALS. 

If you have any questions, please email us at info@safeatlast.net.

Thank you for your interest & for helping us save shelter pets, one life at a time.
