We adopted a precious shepherd/lab mix from Lifeline this weekend.
The process is organized and fairly efficient, considering all the puppies and potential adopters. Take a look at the available pups before you go for sure because once you get there, especially on Saturdays, there are lots of people, and you should be ready to ask a volunteer to visit with a specific puppy or at least one from a litter you’ve picked out from the online pics the day/days before. You should definitely try to get there before 11am when they open, as they give you a number in order of arrival. If you’re adopting, plan to be there for about 2 hours give or take.
The employees/volunteers there are helpful and kind, and once you’re ready to adopt, they provide thorough details of the adoption contract, review the paperwork and instructions in one big group - super efficient.
Bring cash for extremely fast check out once instructional seminar is finished. Credit card line can be long, but moves fairly quickly.
They also sell full size crates with divider for a reasonable price and puppy starter kit so that you don’t have to stop off at the pet store on the way home - leash & collar, few days worth of food, a few chew toys, food and water bowl - all for about $20 or 30, I think.
Our new puppy is beautiful, playful, curious and sweet. She’s already spayed and has her initial immunizations.
We’re so excited about the many years ahead with our Scout!
