About Spencer

*SCSN Does not respond to Petfinder or Adopt A Pet "Inquiries". If you are interested in one of our available animals you MUST go to our website www.screvenspayandneuter.com and fill out an application. Intake: 5/15/26 20lbs at Intake Adoption fee: $350 Neutered Vaccinated Microchipped HW Negative and on Monthly Prevention These dogs came from a breeder situation, which means they have lived their entire lives in outdoor pens. Because of that, they are not potty trained, crate trained, leash trained, or accustomed to living inside a home. New environments can be very overwhelming for them at first, and they may initially act nervous, shy, or skittish while they learn how to adjust to normal household life. With that said, they are extremely kind dogs and we fully expect them to continue improving with patience, structure, proper decompression, and consistency. They will need adopters who understand that this is a transition and that progress may take time. All of the dogs are now spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, started on monthly prevention, and available for adoption. For anyone specifically interested in Sandy, please note that she is the shyest of The group and she tested heartworm positive. Because of this, she will either need to remain a local adoption near Statesboro, Georgia so she can complete treatment through our veterinary partner, or her adopter will need to either: Bring her back locally for treatment appointments, or Complete heartworm treatment through their own veterinarian at their own expense. We have already paid for Sandy’s heartworm treatment through our clinic. Her treatment plan consists of: • 30 days of doxycycline twice daily • One month off treatment • Then two consecutive days of heartworm injections at the clinic during the third month • Followed by several days of prednisone and strict activity restriction Approved applications required to adopt! *If you choose to adopt (before all vetting is complete) and use your own vet rather than our local Snip Clinic for these services, you do so at your own expense and it will not reduce the adoption fee. Adoption fees are NON NEGOTIABLE. 1.) All dogs are adopted to the best possible match and calling or emailing the rescue will not speed up the process or liken your chances of being chosen. Please DO NOT CALL the rescue unless you have been specifically given the phone number by one of the staff. 2.) You will be notified by the adoption coordinator if your application is approved. This will happen very quickly, usually the same or next day. (unless you apply on a weekend and vet records can not be verified in which case it will be the next day the vet is open.) If you do not hear from us, you were not approved. There will be no explanation or argument. 3.) Adoptions are set up by appointment only. We do not have “hours” of operation. DO NOT show up expecting to “see the dogs”. We are not a municipal shelter- we are a rescue. 4.) If the dog is posted as Available on Petfinder, it is available but may have pending applications and meet and greets set up. 5.) If you are not ready to immediately meet the dog you are applying for, please do not apply- we are too busy for window shoppers! Every dog is available to be taken home with you at the time of the meet and greet. 6.) We recommend you bring a carrier with you to transport the dog home as some can get carsick. Adult dogs and most puppies over 6 months of age will require a slip lead- not a harness, Not a flat collar and leash but a SLIP LEAD that does not need to be fitted and is the only approved method of safe restraint for fearful and flight risk dogs. 7.) Adoption fees can be paid with Cash, Check, Venmo, PayPal and credit Card. You pay these the day you adopt when you sign your contract through an online system. Screven County Spay & Neuter Corp.
