My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Introducing Pokey Puppy!!!

Pokey's estimated dob is May 2023. He came to us in poor condition from one of the Central Valley shelters so had little hope of making it out. Pokey has had good care and good groceries and has flourished. He appears to be a short stack Cattle Dog mix given his coloration and some of his behaviors.

Pokey is still shy with new people and to some extent other dogs so patience will be needed for his transition. Once he is comfortable, he is happy and playful. Pokey has been learning about the wide world and walks the neighborhood everyday. He will continue to need exposure and reassurance for outings as he matures, along with solid training. Pokey is currently 23-24 lbs and will most like be between 30-40 lbs at maturity. He is a strong and active player so another sturdy playful pup would be good. Pokey sleeps in his crate at night. He has also mastered the dog door. And he is pretty much potty trained.

Pokey's wishlist:

1. Fenced yard

2. Daily walks and activity

3. No young children. Older respectful children

4. Continued training

5. Patience and leadership

6. A compatible playmate

Our Mission Statement...
Sacramento Independent Animal Rescuers is a 501c3 nonprofit organization. Our purpose is to aid stray, abandoned, and neglected animals. In addition to animals rescued and adopted by our organization, SIAR is also dedicated to help other independent animal rescuers find their foster animals the loving homes they deserve. To date, thousands of dogs and cats have been rescued and placed into wonderful homes in the past few years. In order to provide these services, we work with the community shelters, rescue organizations, and individuals who have animals with special needs and place these animals in permanent homes after they reach a stage of wellness.

Our mission is to provide loving, permanent homes for animals that have been abused, abandoned, or lost, which otherwise would not be with us today. Many of our rescued animals, especially those that were rescued from the shelters initially had kennel cough, pneumonia, or giardia with the extreme cases having the parvo or distemper viruses. In addition, a high percentage of animals are malnourished and require special dietary demands. We rely on tax deductible cash donations as well as food and other pet supplies that will allow us to continue to save lives!

**** WE ARE IN GREAT NEED OF DONATIONS AS MANY OF THE ANIMALS WE RESCUE HAVE COSTLY MEDICAL PROBLEMS AND ARE CONSIDERED NON ADOPTABLE AT THE SHELTERS - WE HOPE TO GIVE THEM A SECOND CHANCE AT A LONG AND HAPPY LIFE****

All of our companion pets, have been neutered or spayed, given all current vaccinations, heartworm tested and microchipped. This also provides the community with healthier animals and aids in the reduction of the outspread of illness and future homeless offspring.

The adoption fee for animals being adopted by SIAR can range from $75-$100 (for kitties) and $150-$350 (for dogs) depending on the animal and associated costs. The adoption fee helps up recooperate the thousands of dollars spent yearly on rehabilitation and allows us to continue to rescue animals in need.

Disclaimer: Due to the limited time spent with the rescued animals, Sacramento Independent Animals Rescuers is not responsible for the health, behavior or temperament of the animals listed or adopted by this group.
