Please come to Petco of Stratford this weekend to check out the approximately 80 puppies who will travel up from Georgia to be adopted by loving forever homes in our area.
Of course we advocate rescuing dogs from local shelters, but there aren't always puppies available. So, if it is a puppy you seek and you have room in your home and love to share, come to Stratford Petco 955 Ferry Boulevard, Saturday and Sunday, October 27-28, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and meet puppies and dogs available for adoption.
There will be 75-80 puppies and dogs available. All potential adoptive families will be asked for veterinarian reference and personal references, so bring phone numbers.

Please consider rescuing one of several dozen dogs and puppies pulled from high-kill animal shelters in Georgia.
The adoption fee is $350 and all the dogs are spayed/neutered, have all the age-appropriate shots (unless the adopters choose to have any other vaccinations given after adoption), have been dewormed, and have been started on heart worm prevention. The adoption fee includes 6 months of the heartworm prevention for dogs over 6 months of age and younger than 8 years of age.*
*The type of heart worm prevention this age brack were put on lasts for 6 months. The others will have one month's free and a coupon for a discount off a six-month supply if they choose to use that particular brand
The rescue saves animals from high-kill shelters and also takes in many abandoned dogs running lose or puppies that are dumped on their door step. They have taken in many animals that are on death's door in the past few weeks that they are overrun with animals that have no shot of being adopted down there.
If you see a dog/puppy photo you are intereted in just email colbertvet@yahoo.com and they can email them the adoption application ahead of time. Otherwise, paperwork will be available the day(s) of the event.

Petco's Adoption Mission is to reduce the number of homeless pets being euthanized and to increase the number of adoptable pets being placed into forever homes.
I to have adopted animals in the past from shelters and they have been wonderful animals who lived long happy lives. I happened upon CVRS almost 3 years ago when I went to an event they attended just to see dogs with no intention of adopting one. That was before this crazy 6 month old black dog grabbed my sleeve, pulled my arm into his pen and wanted me to pet him. 4 hours later I went home with my Toccoa. He was joined a year later by another CVRS dog that was a throw away who only weighed 10 lbs at 7 months old. Not only did Doc find him a home, she literally saved his life. These dogs have changed my life for the better and it is mt sincere hope that every one of the 61 dogs that were adopted today can do the same for their new families. .
My questions were: 1. Did Colbert personally spay/neuter each of the dogs at the event? 2. Did Colbert personally microchip each dog at the event? 3. Did Colbert personally give all required shots to each dog at the event?
Unless you have something to hide. I'm done with the thread. I'll see if i can get answers from Petco.
1. Every single dog that came up with Colbert was spayed or neutered. Approx. 85-95% of the dogs that Colbert brought up were spayed or neutered specifically by the vet and her staff. A small portion of the dogs who are usually owner surrendered were already spayed or neutered when the rescue took them in. Unless a dog came in with paperwork saying what they have had done as far as medical care, each dog is treated like it has never had vaccines before. So unless there was official paperwork that came in with the dog saying otherwise, yes Colbert personally gave all the required and additional vaccinations . Also yes Colbert scans every single dog for a microchip, if they have one and the chip isn't registered they use that one, if they don't have a chip, the rescue personally microchips every single dog before its adopted.
Why don't you quit being a muck raking troll and come out from behind your anonymous screen name so that we can all see who it is that is attempting to bring down a great organization and a great event.
But hey, carry on with calling me a troll and telling me i would have called you a liar and i'm trying to undermine your efforts.
also a special thank you to Ann from Natural Balance Pat Sarah Jessie all of the Petco staff and management and finally to all of the families that came in and adopted a dog we wish you nothing but the best and many years of happiness with your new family member. please keep in touch, upload pictures to the CVRS facebook page(or send them to ga2ctdogrescue@yahoo.com), and come back and visit the next time we hold an event.
I'm sure if Kclegs wants to answer you she will but personally I would like to see you just go away.
