If you truly want your Sibe to be considered as a surrender candidate, you MUST give us a name, address and phone number after our initial response. We will not commit our resources to listing or accepting a dog if you want to remain a “mystery” person. We are dealing with the future safety and happiness of a living creature and that creature deserves the honesty, sincerity and integrity of all parties. We need the same information about your surrender candidate that we list for our adoptable dogs. We need the name of your current Vet also. Several current photos will help us present the dog to potential adopters. |
| After the initial contact we will conduct a phone interview to discuss the reason for surrender and to get a sense of your dog’s personality. The questions we ask may seem trivial to you (i.e. brand of food), but they have been developed by experts in the field and each one has a legitimate part in the process. Please answer them honestly. Hiding the fact that there has been a bite or livestock incident only delays the process. We haven’t heard a new ending to the “He/she is a wonderful dog but.........” sentence in many years. During the phone interview we will also explain our “Referral” and “Tundra Dog” listing procedures. We will not list or except any potential surrenders being listed with another Rescue. We may request a surrender fee if we accept the dog into the Tundra adoption program. We also may request a refundable fee if you agree to list the dog for adoption with Tundra. Conducting home/Vet checks and maintaining a web site are costly undertakings. We know that sometimes the decision can be difficult, but we can see through insincerity very quickly. If we accept the surrender, we promise to find a forever, loving home; your obligation will be to treat your departing friend with dignity. We have received several surrender inquiries recently that blocked our response with a Spam filter requiring us to “apply” for approval to the sender’s email. Any applications or inquiries received with such a block will NOT be considered. We are a dedicated group of volunteers, folks; and do not have time to “apply” for response approvals. If you are serious about using Tundra resources, be courteous enough to list us as an approved sender when you send your inquiry. At this time we can only accommodate two special-needs dogs. A foster home for such a dog requires the supreme effort. Dogs in that category include those with behavioral problems. Be prepared to make a surrender donation if your Sibe passes our evaluation. If your surrender needs a health update, you will be expected to pay for inoculations, tests, etc. One last observation on our surrender policy............ as stated in our mission statement, our first objective is to keep Sibe families together. We will commit our energies 110% if you meet us at least half-way. Please don’t ask our advice and not give us the courtesy of listening. |
