Meet Stella

Meet Stella! Stella is an adorable mixed breed girl who came to us from Aggieland Humane Society in Bravos County, Texas along with 10 other amazing and lucky dogs. We don't have much background or history about Stella, but our rescue partners in Texas have told us that she is great with people and other dogs. Long transports are stressful for dogs so Stella could really use a place to decompress and get used to her new life! We will update Stella's bio as we learn more about her over the coming days. Submit your online adoption application through our website today and don't miss this opportunity to bring her home for a 3-day home trial towards her adoption. Will you be her hero?

Foster update:

Stella continues to do so well! She has mastered potty training - she hasn't had an accident in the house in nearly 2 weeks, since we first brought her home, and she understands that the yard and walks = potty time. She's doing great with napping in her crate - she goes right in with a treat, doesn't cry or bark in it anymore, and sleeps all night in it.

She is an incredibly fast learner and loves all people and kids. She's very snuggly, especially in the morning and after her naps. She loves to play with our dog and has even started sharing her toys and chews with him.

***IMPORTANT HOLIDAY UPDATE!***

Don't miss our 12 Days of Christmas Adoption Specials!

Adopt your new best friend between December 12 and December 23 and you'll receive $120 off their adoption fee! To qualify, you must be approved by our Adoptions Manager during this timeframe to adopt a specific dog, but your adoption trial does not have to begin during this timeframe.

And as a bonus, if you are approved to adopt a dog during our 12 Days of Christmas - December 12-23 - you will also have the chance to participate in our Santa's Sleigh Delivery Service! For a $100 donation to SDH (in addition to your dog's adoption fee), you can have your pet delivered to your home on Christmas Morning, December 25. What better present for you and your loved ones than to bring your new family member home on Christmas! Participation in Santa's Sleigh is subject to location and availability.

steps to adopting

(OUR ADOPTABLE DOGS ARE IN SEPARATE TEMPORARY FOSTER HOMES BETWEEN BEND/CENTRAL OREGON AND THE GREATER PORTLAND AREA. THEREFORE, MEET AND GREETS ARE NOT DONE AT OUR FACILITY. TO LEARN MORE, PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR ADOPTION APPLICATION ONLINE AND OUR ADOPTION PROGRAM MANAGER WILL REACH OUT TO YOU WITH FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO MEET YOUR NEW PUP!)

The first step to adopting a dog from SDH is to complete the adoption application. First click on the "OUR DOGS tab up above, and then click on the orange colored "Fill out an Adoption Application here" button to start the process). Once submitted, please expect 3-5 business days or sooner for processing and to hear back from us. Once you are pre-approved, your adoption application will remain on file with us for 1 year and it can go towards multiple adoptions within that 1 year time frame before it expires.

To finalize an adoption you must sign the adoption contract and pay the full adoption fee of $550. The adoption fee helps cover our costs. On average, per dog, it costs SDH between $500-$700 for vetting/medical/sterilization, transport and other rescue related expenses. All dogs are rescued and do not transport to SDH until they are healthy and ready to be adopted. All dogs are examined by a veterinarian before they fly, which includes sterilization whenever possible, given standard vaccines and rabies (if age appropriate). Most dogs are sterilized before they come into our program, however if this is not the case we will spay/neuter them once they arrive at our cost.

Upon their arrival, all dogs are seen for a wellness exam by SDH's medical team. Once the adoption is finalized, any further medical care or treatment will not be covered by SDH, unless discussed prior with our medical team. All known issues are disclosed to the best of our ability prior to finalizing the adoption.
