Elliott, 11 months Male Shih Tzu
Mix
|
|
|
Apply To Adopt
Elliott is an adorable Shih Tzu who is very sweet and friendly. He is good with other dogs, prefers small dogs. Before his rescue he sat in a shelter for a month with a broken leg. So when he came to us, we had him all checked at our vet and at Vescone and everyone agreed that the leg has healed without surgery. He's a happy and personable guy, but the ideal home would be an experienced small dog person who knows the small dog personality and train him in a positive manner.
He rides well in the car, loves to go places with you and his tail tends to wag non stop. Because he is still a puppy, we are looking for someone who is a stay at home or work from home. He's little, so no young children, but 12 and up would be perfect. He came to us with horrible matting in his very fluffy coat, and had to be almost shaved down (as shown in the picture). Shih tzus require grooming every 6-8 weeks and brushing often to keep their coat from matting, which pulls on the skin and is painful for them. This breed can live to be 17-18 yrs old, so we want his adopter to make sure they want to make the commitment to keep Elliott throughout his long life when they make the commitment to adopt.
We're not sure if he's been exposed to cats yet. We're collecting donations for Elliott to help cover his orthopedic and vet bills for his many visits during his recuperation. He is ready for adoption immediately.

Dolly, 1 year Female Labrador Retriever
Mix
|
|
|
Apply To Adopt
Dolly is a beautiful female lab mix with a big heart. She loves people and shows her affection as often as she can get a lick in. Although she loves attention, she is a calm and secure dog and can spend time alone at home. She is very well behaved, likes to learn new tricks, be outdoors, has lots of energy and loves to run. She has sensitive skin and a mild itch, alleviated with bathing. She would do well in a home that would allow ample outdoor space for releasing her energy as well as either another dog or children to play with. She loves going for walks, riding in the car, and just being with you. She knows many commands such as sit, give paw, lay down, stay, come, heel. She is the perfect dog and deserves the perfect home. Also, she is housebroken and crate trained.
Dolly was previously placed by us. Her owner was in a very serious car crash 2 months ago. His family took Dolly in hoping it would be a temporary commitment, but there have been complications, and they are afraid Dolly can not return to her "real home".
They have other commitments/animals and cannot keep Dolly permanently, as much as they love her. They hope that she'll find another wonderful home where she'll be appreciated and loved and doted on, as she should be!

Silvia, 2 years Female Border Terrier
/ Terrier
Mix
|
|
|
Apply To Adopt
Update! Silvia has completed her heartworm treatment and is doing well. She is available for adoption from her foster home in New York, near Ancram.
Silvia’s journey to Save a Dog began in January in Leland, Mississippi which is located in the heart of the Delta. A Good Samaritan saw her in the road where she was almost hit by several cars; she was brought to the city shelter, an unheated facility for which the city provides neither food, water dishes, nor medical care. Fortunately for Silvia, a volunteer from the local rescue, AARF which provides food and supplies for the city shelter, took pity on her and brought Silvia to her already overcrowded home. Two days later Silvia gave birth to three healthy puppies; shortly thereafter, Silvia was diagnosed as being heartworm positive. With the help of AARF and many other volunteers along the way, Silvia and her pups made the 24 hour trip to New York where Silvia is now being treated for Stage 2 heartworm. She will receive her second treatment on May 2 and then will be on restricted activity for another month; her prognosis is excellent as she is approximately two years old. She is a sweet dog, loving, and playful and deserves a forever home of her own. Silvia loves people and would also love to chase cats (so no cats!). She's affectionate, playful, and very eager to please. She loves to cuddle, sleeps on the bed and does not make a sound all night. Silvia weighs about 20 pounds. Because her expenses will exceed the adoption donation, we are asking for sponsors to help with her medical bills.

Lab Puppies, 3 months Female Labrador Retriever
|
|
|
Apply To Adopt
These are the three female Lab Puppies. They were born on Valentines day. Their mother was found near a business in an open field with coyotes after her. She was only a couple of weeks away from having the pups when the man found her. He turned her over to a rescue and they fostered her and the pups until the pups were 5 wks old. The mom is a beautiful choc. lab.
These pups are beautiful....gentle, playful, good natured, love to be picked up and held. They love to play with balls and squeaky toys as well as each other.
Luvie is the smallest (approx 17lbs) and a little shy at first, but likes attention. She will stay to herself some and just relax and look around. Raven is the largest (approx 20-25#). She is happy and playful and can hold her own with her brothers! Tinker Bell is around 20# and is happy and playful and curious. She will leave her food every time and come for attention. I can say to her "you had better eat your supper" and away she goes back to her food!

Apply To Adopt
Buddy is a one-year old Pug/Yorkie mix, who was relinquished because his 80 year owner could not keep up with his high energy. While Buddy looks more like a Pug, he obviously gets that energy level from his Yorkshire Terrier genes! Buddy is neutered and up to date w/shots. He is a sweet dog (a litlte shy at first when meeting someone but warms up quickly) who loves to give kisses and will curl up in your lap. He weighs 15 lbs. His previous owner used a harness, and he might need some practice walking on a leash well, as he tends to pull alot. He loves to play
He will need an owner who realizes his high-energy level and is willing to walk/play with him considerably so that he will be a happy, satisfied part of your family/household. Are you looking for a little guy like Buddy to be YOUR "Buddy"? If so, please fill out an application on our website.

Apply To Adopt
Katie is a 3 year 5 month Golden-chow mix. When you call her by her nickname Kissey Katie, KKKKatie, she gets all excited, and will try to wrap her body around your legs and go in between to get extra pats. She is with her owner so does not attend the "meet and greet" events. Private appointments will be made once we receive your application. She was not raised with kids and is nervous around small children, so no small children, please. She will come close to you when little kids are around. If you tell her its okay and the kids are gentle she will let them pet her for a minute. She has always been this way since day 1.
Katie is very protective of the car and house when no one is around she will bark and look crazy.
Katie is head strong so she would be better with someone who has had dogs before.
She is a little pushy with other dogs ( like a typical female retriever) at first after told to play nice does fine. Katie loves to kiss everyone people and dogs alike. She isNOT good with cats. Loves the car. In the house she likes to sit by a window or the front door and watch outside.

Adoption in Progress
Buck is a terrific 70lb 1 yr old black lab pup—loves dogs, people, not a barker, crate trained, and what I call a boomerang pup—loves to explore but always comes back! He is strong and smart, not stubborn or willful and is controllable by a 5’2’’ woman, so please don’t think he isn’t the dog for you! He sits and gives a paw, loves to snuggle with his nose under your chin, housetrained, understands no, not a counter surfer,doesn’t jump on people,and plays with his toys quietly in the house— outside, will make a true jogging companion- he is a love and wants a forever family to adore—don’t wait to apply for Buck.
Large dog experience preferred, a fenced in yard is a must. He is a strong dog but really wants to please. He's not a spaz like some labs, he's just a big boy and a REALLY GREAT DOG!

She plays nice with everyone, is gentle with kids, and loves going for walks in the woods. She is the perfect dog in every way! Housetrained, an easy dog! The first step is to fill out an application. It doesn't obligate you to take the dog, but gives us some background information to give our foster families. Her foster mom says about Shatzie: She's housebroken, doing great with going into the crate, loves all other dogs and people, loves squirrel hunting, doesn't get up on any furniture, and can entertain herself with a toy during downtime. Pretty darn perfect!
