Locals adopt puppies to benefit RABAS
These five puppies, born to a dog taken in by Crawford County Animal Control, were put up for adoption in exchange for a $500 donation, per pup, to Rivers and Bluffs Animal Shelter. (Submitted photo)
Crawford County Animal Control obtained an Australian shepherd cross dog in October. The dog was taken to Southwest Vet to be spayed, prior to be putting up for adoption. Dr. Bill Schultz’s pre-surgical exam revealed that the dog was in late pregnancy, so he decided to adopt the dog and name her Cinnamon. Eight days later, on Oct. 26, she whelped five puppies.
As a fundraiser for Rivers and Bluffs Animal Shelter (RABAS), Dr. Schultz decided to place the puppies up for adoption. One puppy is going to Dr. Schultz’s son. One puppy has a heart problem, so Dr. Schultz is keeping her. Three puppies were offered for adoption in exchange for a $500 donation to RABAS. Each of the new owners will receive about $300 in services through the donation, including first-year vaccines and spaying or neutering.
The three pups were adopted in late December. RABAS is grateful for the new owners, Ryan Russell, of Farmersburg, Iowa; Sean and Clarissa Russell, of Prairie du Chien; and Austin Chute, of Marian, Iowa, for their generous donations to RABAS. Dr. Schultz is also donating $500 each for the two pups kept by his family.
RABAS is greatly appreciative for Crisse Reynolds at Crawford County Animal Control for her role in Cinnamon’s adoption.
