About this Dog
Turquoise is one of Zia's five puppies. Zia is a young, very sweet girl, who landed pregnant at a kill shelter. Zia was incredibly skinny and it was not immediately apparent to shelter staff that she was pregnant. However, when she delivered five babies, the little family found themselves in imminent danger of being euthanized. Not only was the shelter very full, they also lacked the resources to care for them. Luckily, thanks to a wonderful foster parent who stepped up to foster them, we were able to quickly whisk them to safety just 3 days after Zia gave birth. The puppies of the Desert Litter (Chile, Turquoise, Mesa -Girls-, Roadrunner & Roswell - boys) have grown in a very loving foster home with their mom, where all of them have been thriving. We are currently taking applications for the puppies! Turquoise is a bold and bubbly beauty with a chunky little frame and bright blue eyes. Her blue merle coat turns heads, and her outgoing personality steals hearts. She’s the first to greet you with a tail wag and always ready to play! The adoption fee for Zia's puppies is $450, all of which goes back into offsetting our high-cost vetting expenses and rescuing more dogs. We are a 100% volunteer-run rescue group and rely on adoption fees and donations to continue saving lives. Adoption fees include spay/neuter, age-appropriate vaccinations, fecal, deworming, flea/tick and heartworm preventative, heartworm tested if old enough (and treated if positive), and microchipped. Please visit http://heartlandgsrescue.rescuegroups.org/info/adoption for more information about our adoption process and requirements, and to apply. Like all GSDs, and other herding breeds and mixes, Zia's puppies will need positive reinforcement training, consistency, boundaries, activity and socialization. Zia's puppies' ideal homes will be households with good routines, prior Husky, GSD (or similar herding breed) experience, and a friendly doggy sibling to help teach them the ropes. Like any of our dogs, sweet Zia's puppies will make a great addition to active homes that will provide the love, structure, activity and mental stimulation that their breed requires. Even if you exercise and play with your dog daily in your fenced yard, please remember that you MUST still take your dog out on daily walks and outings, in order to provide sufficient stimulation, ward off boredom, and work on leash skills and manners.

Adopt Turquoise - Desert Litter and Receive Turquoise - Desert Litter's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Turquoise - Desert Litter's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Turquoise - Desert Litter's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Turquoise - Desert Litter, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Turquoise - Desert Litter's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Turquoise - Desert Litter was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Turquoise - Desert Litter’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Turquoise - Desert Litter’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Turquoise - Desert Litter’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
