Available Dogs

Siska, 4 years Female Border Poodle  Mix   Click on picture to enlarge Apply To Adopt Siska is a 3 year old Doodle who is looking for a special home. She was adopted last fall, but her human mom has health issues and can no longer care for her. She has some anxiety around children and other dogs. She needs someone who is dog savvy and has been through enough dog behavior classes to be able to read her body language and always reward her with positive reinforcement. She walks well on leash and is house trained. She needs a home close to Sudbury and also without cats. Siska will bark at strangers and tends to bond more closely with one person, but she has lived in homes with couples.. She bonds tightly to her people. She has been allowed on furniture and she would often sleep in the bed with her family, so please be someone who will allow that. We prefer someone who has worked with a behaviorist before so that her issues can be resolved quickly without drugs. Please no phone calls, but apply online.

Cooper, 10 months Male Airdale  Mix   Click on picture to enlarge Available On: 8/3/21 Apply To Adopt Cooper is a young Airedale/Lab/Shepherd mix whose family is being deployed. He has lived in a home so will not be like many of the dogs who need to get used to household noises. He walks nicely on leash and is a LOVE! He's a big boy and a bit bouncy when excited so teens and up would be best. He's about 10 mos, 73 lbs, intact male (the vet told them to wait until he's a year to neuter). He is fine with other dogs, a little nervous of really small dogs - like he doesn't know what to make of them. He's not been around any cats. He's going to need a fenced in yard to provide adequate exercise. He's super cute and has been in a loving home so is not new to household routines and noises.

Betty, 3 years old Female Lab/Border Collie/Bully  Mix   Click on picture to enlarge Apply To Adopt Betty is a sweet three year old Lab mix who needs a new home due to a death in her family. She was adopted as a puppy and has lived in a loving home where she was offered daily explorations and adventures in her fenced in yard and with her family on walks in the woods. She has always had stability and routine in a calm and loving family. She has trained with the best and knows many commands. Betty knows “come”, “sit”, “down” (“all the way down”), “wait”, “stay”, she will “return” to your left side upon command, “Go” (which sends her away from a place/situation she should leave and “okay, let’s go” which is used when it’s time to move along on a walk or from one thing to another and many more commands. That said she needs daily vigorous exercise and not just a quick walk. Betty's humans were always at home with her and she has a daily routine that will help acclimate her to a new home. Young retirees or a single would be ideal for her as she was not raised with young children. She has always known the freedom of a fenced in yard where she can explore the gardens and we hope we can find a similar situation for her. She loves the water and would make a great beach dog. She's not a "friend for your dog" as she thrives on one on one attention. Please apply at http://www.savaedog.org/applytoadopt.asp. Last Modified: 7/25/2021 12:00:16 AM EST Printable Description

He seems to gravitate more to female dogs if anything for company and mostly ignores the males or submits to them. He's a lower energy guy who is crate trained and house broken. He is a good boy who should for in well in most family settings. He loves to lay at your feet while you do computer work or watch TV, thats his favorite thing just be with his humans quietly. He loves snuggling and his couch time too. Rescuer says this is a 100% house dog. He's the type of dog a foster has a hard time letting go of and he deserves nothing but the best. (All written by previous rescue. He has not been evaluated by Save A Dog yet). Last Modified: 8/4/2021 8:21:04 AM EST Printable Description
