In addition, we rely on the information provided by our prospective adopters; honesty is the best policy when discussing a potential rescue. Despite the number of dogs in need of homes, it may be that ROF does not have a rescue suitable for your particular situation. Children and other pets are but a few factors that we consider in placing a rescue.
Your donation at the time of an adoption is not a fee to buy a dog; it is a donation for the service we provide. Your donation may be claimed as a tax deductible donation, and furthers our efforts to do as much as we can for as many as we can. Your donation offsets a portion of those costs, but in no event exceeds the amount of care actually provided. All donations are applied to our rescue program to further the ROF mission. They are not perfect, and in most cases ROF will have limited information about the dog’s history. ROF makes its placements based on our evaluation of the dogs, and decades of experience handling dogs and matching dogs to appropriate owners.
The sanctuary is located County Road 29, Woodland, California. As an added benefit, all of our rescues come with free lifetime obedience training. Salty Is a 2 to 3 years old west highland terrier mix. Salty is crate trained and loves playing with other dogs.
When she came to ROF she had been labeled dog reactive, but with Renee working with her just a few short days she has improved immensely. Your new companion may have accidents, bark, jump, chew or require regular exercise. No dog is perfect and even a good natured, obedient and trained dog may create stress in the home initially. Be respectful that you are a stranger to them and not do too much too soon. A crate is an excellent tool for training; we recommend continued crate training as part of a successful transition into your home. These are just some of the things ROF expects potential adopters to consider before making the decision to rescue.
