My story

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

Scout is one of the Arlington 16 puppies found in a box near a dumpster back in November. She was always the most timid and fearful of the bunch.  It is this fear that seems to keep her from enjoying life like a puppy should. Scout is a gorgeous girl. She LOVES other dogs; in fact she will need another confident dog to make her more comfortable. She developed junvenile cataracts but has had surgery and while she has some medications that she must use for a while, she is now able to see. She often barks or growls at new people from her hiding place with her tail between her legs. She is mostly potty trained, but every once in a while she is too scared to go outside and must be carried out.  She is being fostered by a trainer, where she is challenged daily to build confidence. The ideal adopter for Miss Scout will be very patient and offer a calm, quiet and predictable environment. Scout currently seems to do best with women, but we'd love to find a home that includes a patient male influence so as to not limit her exposure. A home without young children would be best as Scout really just needs to be allowed to come out of her shell on her own terms.  We need a patient female to give this baby love and time to discover that life does not have to be so scary. Once she starts to feel comfortable in her surroundings, she shows a super playful, bouncy dog. Her smile is contagious, you just have to help her get there.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Thank you for adopting and not buying!!! Every week hundreds of highly adoptabledogs are put to death by local shelters. Most people would be amazed at the purebred and beautiful dogs available, if they walked into their neighborhood shelter.

Rescue organizations, like mine, work hard to save as many as we possibly can but is a never ending process with breeders and Puppy Mills selling unhealthy animals to the public. If you EVER saw a puppy mill you would NEVER buy again!

All of my dogs are neutered or spayed, vet checked, completely vaccinated, wormed, groomed and checked for heart worms. They are all are current on Heart worm medicine, flea, and tick medications. They are all microchipped as well.

Adoption fee is $300 to $350 (older "friends' can be less, please inquire. Puppies are $350 - Besides fully vetting all dogs, some of of the dogs I rescue, 1 in 5 I rescue have heart worms which is very expensive to treat. I also take in dogs who need surgeries and are close to death.

More about this rescue

About us: Cody was the first pet I owned as an adult. He was a Shih Tzu that I bought unknowingly, from a Puppy Mill. He fought for his life and barely survived, suffering for the first few months of his life. From then on I was stirred by a ferocious passion to save as many dogs as I could through networking with other rescue groups and saving the ones I could off of cold streets and unwanted in shelters. Cody did not live a very long life due to a weakened body, but I was able to love on him for eight good years! He will always be loved and forever remembered. With over 400 dogs rescued so far, we ARE making a difference!!
Thank you for visiting and considering a rescue........................
