Bert

Bert is a handsome, friendly guy we found on the highway. We think he is at least 8 years old and probaby older. He acts like a puppy but he has some arthritis in his back legs. Bert is housebroken and uses a dog door. He gets along with dogs and cats. He does have a thyroid problem and needs to stay on inexpensive medicine for the rest of his life to keep his hair from falling out. He also suffers from dry skin and would probably do well with a grain-free dog food and fatty acid supplements.

Scroll to bottom for contact information or call ARF at (877) ARF-JCNC. For the $70 adoption fee, this animal has received rabies shot and heartworm test if old enough. It has also received puppy shot, worming, and spay/ neuter--and sometimes a considerable investment of services and treatments.

Because of this animal's uncertain history, we assume he or she is not housebroken unless we have stated otherwise. However, most dogs are trainable and eager to please. ARF will happily advise prospective owners about crate training and the latest housebreaking tools.

We set up at our new location on 50 Railroad Street, Sylva, NC every Saturday from noon until 4 or 5 PM. You can also view animals by making an appointment with the foster parent. Get approximate directions from your location.
