My story

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

Meet Mozzarella!

This boy is capturing hearts where ever he goes. He is just the sweetest. Mozzarella, or Mozzie for short, is around 18 weeks old and already 45 lbs. He is going to be a big boy! He has a unique merle coloring and is just stunning.


Mozzie is a happy and fun-loving pup with a lot of curiosity. He is super social and loves getting attention and meeting new people and dogs. He watches everything and doesn’t like to miss out on anything that is going on around him. He does great resting throughout the day and sleeping in his crate, but needs some guidance to know when he needs a break. He doesn’t bark or startle easily but is vocal when playing with other dogs. He recently had a training session and did great with his responses to the instructions. He wants to please his people and has a willful personality so he needs someone with knowledge of how to show him what to do. He loves food and is very food motivated (he can hear the refrigerator open from outside). He has done wonderfully with learning the routine and house training and loves going on walks. He behaves wonderfully in public and in the car.

Some physical challenges were observed when he was a young puppy, although as he has grown he has improved almost completely. He has been examined by several vets as well as a specialist veterinary clinic with no concerns noted. He may have some peripheral or depth perception vision issues. He also has some stability issues which cause him to stumble at times. He is a big boy and clumsy, but his stumbling may be related to his vision or mild neurological impairment. He can navigate a few stair steps but should be monitored on tall stair cases. He is in good health but his mobility issues will need monitoring as he grows up and he may need some special care and attention in a forever home.

Mozzie has been vaccinated and chipped and will be neutered between 8-12 months of age, at our cost. His adoption fee is $395.

 



We cover the medical to prepare the pet for adoption and the adopt donations go directly to cover those costs and range from $295-$495.  Thank you for stepping up to save a life!

To expedite to meet with this dog, please go to our site at www.savinggreatanimals.org and fill out an application. We look at the first applications to arrive, so we hope to hear from you soon!

More about this rescue

Saving Great Animals is a match-making rescuer. We have no public facility. We work individually to do our best in matching your desires and lifestyle to the best animal pal. We love what we do! We are Seattle-based but have representatives in all parts of Washington state and the Pacific Northwest.

We are volunteer-based and everyone in our rescue works full time at paying careers,

Saving Great Animals has been working tirelessly as a no-kill, foster-based rescue for the last 9 years. We also are connected to a wide network of foster homes and numerous shelters around the state to find permanent homes for animals that are deserving of love and a family. Many of the dogs and cats we rescue would otherwise face unecessary euthanization.

We also work hard to bring dogs and cats into SGA directly from their former home so they animals will never enter the shelter system which has environments that can be very stressful for them, even though we know so many shelter workers who are tireless too in helping the animals.

A very small percentage of our dogs come to us from our sister-shelter in Taiwan, where these dogs are typically rescued from deplorable circumstances.

All of our pets available for foster or adoption also are listed on PetFinder at (http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/WA418.html).

To contact SGA directly, please email info@savinggreatanimals.org.


If you are interested in fostering or volunteering, we want to hear from you! We are finalizing our 501 C-3 status; and do appreciate any and all donations as 100% of our funds, every penny, goes to the animals. We are always extremely tight on funds, frequently dipping into our own pockets. All donations can be paid by paypal by sending to perrin@savinggreatanimals.org
