Save A Dog - Dogs Adopted in November, 2016
Dogs Adopted in November, 2016
Amelia, 5 years old Female Beagle
Click on picture to enlarge
Adopted
Amelia is a five year old Beagle whose owner recently passed away. She has short legs like a Basset, but was registered as a full Beagle. She is the sweetest dog, great with dogs and kids, unknown to cats but has a gentle personality. She was discovered to be heart worm positive during her spay at Tufts. We're looking for a long term foster who will keep her through the "slow kill" method (Heartgard given every other week until she tests negative). She is crate trained but not house trained as she lived in a kennel. She was just spayed at Tufts so needs a quiet week to start out, which would work well for crating while you are house training her. She is microchipped and up to date on vaccines. She would do great with a fenced in yard so she could sniff to her heart's delight.
Bandit is a 7 year old neutered male Schnauzer who is looking for a new home. His owner passed away and a friend of the owner brought him to Save A Dog. He is such a sweet boy. He was raised an only dog, is fine meeting dogs on the trail, but would do best as an only. He will chase cats, so no kitties. Bandit likes squeaky toys and soft toys. He's a good boy who needs a home. He's available now.

Mix

Adopted
Bendi is the sweetest most calm puppy ever. She seems to be as content playing by herself as she is with other puppies. She plays nicely with older small dogs and loves to lounge around the house after playing. What a dear dear puppy. She is sure to win your heart very quickly, loves to be held and cuddled. Adorable best describes her and she loves her toys and puppy bed. She is a nine week old puppy.

Mix

Adopted
My name is Bones. I LOVE to run and play. My best friend, a little female, was at the shelter and when she got adopted I moped for 3 days until finally one of the volunteers decided to foster me. Now I run with her 4 little dogs and we have a ball. But I can't stay here for ever because other dogs need a home. Won't you please adopt me? I’m not mean but I will stand my ground if another dog picks on me. I’m actually somewhat shy at first but I will warm right up once I get to know you. I would do best with another little dog friend that I can run and play with as I am very playful pup – I’m only about a year old. I’m a very good listener (just look at my ears!).BONE WILL BE AT THE MEET AND GREET ON SAT 11/19 FROM 12-3 PM.
Collene is a 1 year old Cairn Terrier mix who deserves a great home. She came from Louisiana where she was brought to the local vet in Springhill, LA where she would be euthanized if Lumberjack Rescue did not pull her. Thank you for saving this little girl for Save A Dog. Please apply at http://www.saveadog.org/applytoadopt.asp and/or come to one of our meet and greet events at our shelter at 604 Boston Post Road in Sudbury, MA.
Dawson is a 7 month old neutered male English Springer Spaniel pup. His birthday is 3-7-16 and he weighs 35 pounds. He is very Friendly to people and dogs. Please be someone who knows the breed and could provide adequate exercise and training. Dawson is a dog we could adopt in a heart beat, but we don't operate like that. Instead we look each dog in the eyes and promise him/her the best forever home. Please apply online at http://www.saveadog.org/applytoadopt.asp.
Diamond is a very smart ACD heeler who is a one-person dog and prefers females. She is 2 years old, weighs 35 lbs. and is already spayed. She is 4DX heart worm and tick disease negative, and is house trained. She does however fixate very quickly on “her person” and wants to be close to who ever that is. We recommend her as an only dog. She really would love a job. We now know that a single adopter is best for her. Diamond was briefly adopted and returned, through no fault of her own. Diamond will be your loyal protector and companion. She's in foster care in Northboro but can be brought to Sudbury at our shelter for you to meet once we receive your application.
Here's a slide show of her pictures for you to see her: https://youtu.be/iloSMX0971s
Hi my name is Donnie and I am a 9 week old shepherd mix puppy. I currently weigh around 8-10 lbs. My sister Marie and I made the long trip from West Virginia to find our forever homes. I'm looking for a wonderful loving adopter who can be at home during the day as I'm too young for day care. I promise to love you and obey you, if you train me of course. If you are interested in me please fill out the online application as it will speed up the process. I passed my health certificate and am available now. Come to meet me on Tuesday 3-5 if you can, or Sat 12-3. I was shown on Sat, but a decision hasn't been made because I really need a fenced in yard for when I'm grown. Save A Dog does not allow tie-outs or cable runs.

Hi there, My name is Otis and I am a Rat Terrier mix. I weigh 10 lbs. I was given up by my owner because I was "too needy." I'm a really good boy and no more needy than any other dog. My sibling Milo was rescued with me. We were from the same litter but went to different homes, a mother and daughter and both decided to give up on us. They said we were "always underfoot" so now we are homeless. We can go to separate homes. We're both so happy just to be allowed to live because we were brought to a kill shelter and our time was almost up before Lumberjack Rescue saved us. My brother and I play and play all day. We are not barkers and we are working on house training.

SMILEY WILL NOT BE AT TUESDAY'S MEET AND GREET NOV 8 AS SHE'S RECOVERING FROM GETTING SPAYED. Hi there, my name is Smiley because I'm a happy girl. I smile when I'm happy. I love to play and run. I would love a fenced in yard in which to play. I'm young and love to chase a ball. My owner gave me up because I didn't turn out to be the breed they wanted. They were told I was a Weimeraner. Please don't give up on me. I will be your forever loyal friend. My tail never stops wagging. My foster mom says about me: Smiley is very energetic and very intelligent, she knows "sit, down, stay and come" commands. She is housebroken.
Walks well on a leash although will try to chase a passing car. When meeting new people she is timid at first but warms up quickly and smiles a crooked smile.
Loves other dogs, male and female- will always do a play bow upon meeting them. Has an interest in squirrels but is easily redirected.
Smiley is very "treat motivated", loves a tennis ball, squeaky toys and bully sticks to chew on.
She crates nicely and sleeps well in the crate all night. She loves playing with a tennis ball and squeaky toys. Loves walks, but does chase cars. She was fearful of Halloween decorations on houses, was interested in rolled up newspapers, trash cans, a fire hydrant but she is becoming more familiar with all of these now. Also interested in squirrels, but easily redirected.
Smiley is very "treat motivated", loves a bully stick. She has had no resource guarding, I have added a treat or two to her bowl while she eats.
