Adoption Fees
$150.00Leif came to the shelter as a surrender from a local Amish farm. He's 3 to 4 months old and is said to be a border collie/cattle dog mix. He's a stocky pup at around 17 pounds and is pretty shy at the moment. He'll need a lot of good socialization and we can't wait to see his true puppy self emerge. He will need to be vet checked and neutered soon and his fee is $150. Leif is a mixture of two very smart and active breeds. He will require a lot of training in all areas. He needs a home that is committed to providing him with this training and with the mental and physical stimulation that he'll require as he matures. He should do well with other dogs and is young enough to learn to interact well with cats. Kids over 5 would be best. NOTE: Adoptions are done via private appointment once an application has been completed and approved. Applications must be submitted at our website, mchs.rescuegroups.org.
