Roscoe
Dogwood Animal Shelter, I've been wanting to tell you for a while now how happy we were to adopt one of your dogs. We adopted the male beagle/lab mix Goofy (who we renamed Roskoe) at the beginning of 2009 from Dogwood, and we have never looked back. I have owned dogs before, but always purebred labs and was nervous to adopt a dog who may or may not have a shady past and potential behavior problems. I was so wrong. Roskoe is the best dog I have ever owned. He has the best little personality — loving, patient and curious. He makes my husband and I laugh like nothing else. He was the perfect addition to our family. Because of you and Roskoe, I tell everyone I know when they are looking for a new pet to go to local animal shelters. Thank you for making it easy to adopt him and doing what you do. Attached you'll find one of my favorite pictures of Roskoe and another of our family just months after we adopted him.

Low Cost Spay / Neuter / Microchipping

One un-spayed female dog has a litter of pups every 6 months. Assuming each litter has 7 pups and just one female from each litter is not spayed, again having a litter of 7 every 6 months….. This equals 7,161 puppies in just 5 years! What if 3 females from each litter are not spayed? See our spay and neutering fees below:

Dogs	Spay	Neuter
*10-40 lbs	$60.00	$40.00

Low Cost Obedience Classes

WHY OBEDIENCE TRAIN?
Obedience training is essential for every pet dog!
Obedience training establishes you as the pack leader. Putting a leash on your canine and teaching just one command communicates this leadership to your pet. Our pet dogs are more than willing to work and live in harmony with us, as long as they know their position in the pack. If the owner doesn't establish the leadership role, the pet dog could develop unwanted behavior (jumping, biting, barking, soiling in the house, etc.).

Obedience training can correct and solve most behavior problems.
Canine bad behavior develops for many different reasons. However, it can be corrected and resolved with basic obedience training. Teach your dog to follow commands and work for praise, and you'll see a new personality develop. By teaching obedience, we learn to communicate with our canine, and our pet responds with acceptable behavior.

Obedience training increases the bond and companionship between owner and dog.
After your training sessions become routine, you will start to understand and interpret your dog's behavior as wants and needs. Your training sessions will promote teamwork to your canine. This teamwork attitude will transfer directly into the home, where good behavior is most important.

Obedience training makes your pet dog feel necessary to the pack.
Your canine is promoting the life of the pack in his eyes and mind by working commands. Every service dog, celebrity dog, and show dog, past and future, started with simple obedience training. This is groundwork for every pet dog.

Obedience training teaches our pet dog how to think and to problem solve better.
As you train your canine, you will notice an intelligence level increase. Your dog will perform commands without being asked, walk on your left side naturally, and greet guests without jumping. These are things that every obedience trained canine should do.
