River, 2 years Male Border Collie
Mix
|
|
Available On: 9/17/24
Apply To Adopt
I’m River, a 2-year-old Border Collie mix. I was abandoned on a rural road and picked up by a kindhearted farmer who thought perhaps I’d enjoy being a working dog for his cattle. Turns out, I’m much more of a snuggler than a herder! I like going for long walks and taking long naps. I’d make a great family dog, as I get along well with children and also with other dogs. The rescue group who sent me to Save A Dog called me a “gem” and said “River is the perfect dog!” Apply at https://www.saveadog.org/applytoadopt.asp, and someone will get right back to you with the next steps. Available after 9/17.

Available On: 9/17/24
Apply To Adopt
Deano is a purebred 2 year old Beagle. His elderly owner went into the hospital and he was relinquished to the animal shelter who reached out to our rescuer. He's a really nice dog, likes to play, doesn't bother cats, but not safe with chickens. He can take a few minutes to warm up but then he's super friendly. He just needs a little socialization as he was just with the elderly owner. He loves long walks and sniffing adventures. He's neutered. He will go into a crate easily. He likes a bully stick. Earliest availability is 9/17.

Kelly and Kenny are a pair of eight year old Bichons who were turned in by their owner who was having landlord issues. They are energetic and friendly.

Apply To Adopt
UPDATE: THANKS TO YOUR GENEROSITY, DAISY'S BETTER-FITTING WHEELS ARE ON THEIR WAY! Daisy has a spinal injury and we're treating with chiropractic as conventional attempts failed her. Owner was elderly and in need of medical attention herself, but up until very recently gave Daisy a very pampered life in senior housing. Donations will go towards her medical work up.UPDATE: After several chiro appointments she can now sit up. She’s made amazing progress. Will she walk again, probably not, but she has much more mobility and is already zooming around on her new wheels. Pictures will be up soon.
Daisy is a peppy little girl who gets along great with the two Wheatons in the foster home. Please inquire at adoptions@saveadog.org or apply at https://www.saveadog.org/applytoadopt.asp.

Mix

Available On: 5/13/24
Apply To Adopt
I’m Roux, a year-and-a-half-old 34-pound wirehaired terrier mix – possibly Wheaton. My fosters say I'm the best dog ever! I’m a happy, sweet girl. I prefer women but am nervous around some men. I'm being fostered with a couple and as long as the husband ignores me, I'm fine. I've blossomed in the foster home to the point I will snuggle with the visiting grand daughters. Ideally I would love to be with women, but in a dog-savvy home I have learned to live with multiple people and dogs. I like to run around in the yard, but can also relax and chill on the couch. I walk well on a leash and love my walks. I'm 100% housetrained, and I am easygoing about being left alone, too. I am friendly with children and other dogs.

I’m Winfrey, an 8-month-old, 45-pound Black Lab mix, with possibly some Poodle or Terrier as I have fuzzy fur. My Southern foster mom said I’m a well-mannered, happy girl, loving and affectionate, but now that I'm at Save A Dog, I’m a total puppy with all the puppy energy and antics. I'm getting some training and already know how to SIT. I adore going for walks I can amuse myself for long periods just chasing a ball around or tossing a toy. Do you have a fenced in yard? I also really enjoy water: going out in the rain, swimming, or playing with the hose. Apply at https://www.saveadog.org/applytoadopt.asp, and someone will get right back to you with the next steps.

Adoption in Progress
I'm Carissa, a 2-year-old, 60-pound Dutch Shepherd. I love people and get along with all dogs -- I really enjoy playing with canine friends! I also adore children, and I'm fine with cats, too. I have such a lovely temperament I might even make a good service or emotional support dog. I'm smart and already know a few commands, like fetch and sit. I'm crazy over my ball and I will fetch and bring it back every time! I'm an active girl and love my walks. I'm also completely healthy, heartworm negative, and spayed. Mostly, I'm just a sweetheart who wants to love and be loved. All I need now is my forever family! My foster mom says "on walks Carissa is excited about meeting other dogs, people and children. She loves adventures and ,would make someone a great hiking partner. After a walk, she will nap or chill with a kong filled with treats. The commands she knows are sit, stay, come and down. She is totally housebroken. She rides nicely in a car.
Carissa is very loyal, makes great eye contact and will bond quickly to her new family."

Louie, 10 months Male Bernedoodle Adopted
|
|
I'm Louie, a 10-month-old, 47-pound Bernadoodle. I'm a high-energy, super smart, playful boy. I've been in professional training and already know a number of commands like sit, stay, and come. I'm good in the car, I'm crate trained and sleep all night in my crate, and I'm housetrained. In the home, I'm independent and happy to entertain myself with toys or a bone. I am active and would benefit from a home where I could go on adventures and have a chance to get my energy out. I love walks and could use a little more work learning to stay calm on a leash. My owner surrendered me because she could not give me the attention and exercise I need, but I am a good and loving boy. Please apply at https://www.saveadog.org/applytoadopt.asp.
