My story

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

Zipper is quite the character and her name matches her personality perfectly. She loves to zip around the yards, teasing her best friend Bernie, jumping on and around him, chasing him or just following him from place to place. She is full of life, and like many young pups, has curiosities running through her growing mind. She still needs to work on her basic obedience, and would need both patience and dedication, to help her become the best she can be. We have worked on socializing her by introducing her to both animals and people. She loves going to our off-site events where she can receive as much love and affection as possible. She has a ton of energy, so she needs play time and a way to get expend her energy. She goes with multiple volunteers a day for walks around the property. She gets a little nervous when going to a new area, but once adjusted, she is again ready to take the lead. She loves rolling around in the grass and leaves, and enjoys chewing on sticks, making them as small as she can. She is a bit picky about food and treats, so using food as a motivator may not be the case with this pup. She does love a good squeak toy or Nyla bones to chew on.
If you would like to meet Zipper, please fill out an application (no commitment) on our website at Satchelslastresort.org. This wonderful young lady would adore to play and give you all of her love and attention!

More about this rescue

Satchel's Last Resort is a no-kill animal shelter/sanctuary whose mission is to Rescue, Rehab and Rehome dogs and cats with nowhere else to go because of breed, behavior or medical issues.

Each resident that comes to Satchel’s has its own unique and personal history. We get to know each one individually – favorite toy, favorite game, favorite foods. The dogs are housed in an airy shelter with spacious kennels, take three or four romps in the playard or walks per day, and even take car rides to let their fur flap in the wind. Cats are housed in two open cat room settings and receive social interaction with staff and volunteers every day. Most important to us -- we keep our dogs and cats safe from other residents and from humans who may want to harm them.

Trainers work with the dogs a few times a week to teach them that they can trust humans and other animals. Staff and volunteers work with our cats to keep them socialized or help them learn to trust again. We actively seek forever homes tailored to the needs of every individual pet so that they can live the rest of their lives among a family of their own.

At Satchel’s Last Resort, we believe that by harnessing the unconditional love that the dogs and cats in our sanctuary put forth everyday, the world becomes a brighter place for animals and people. Each and everyday we try to give a little of their love back – back to the pets and back to our community.
