In certain cultures, Hummingbirds represent JOY. They are considered unique creatures in the bird kingdom (which is filled with unique creatures). Their feathers are said to bring love and open the heart. Only with an open heart can you can taste the bliss of life, taking in all the wonderment and delight it offers.
What does this have to do with Remus? If he were a bird, he would be a Hummingbird. He brings joy to everyone he knows and conjures open hearts, love and wonderment. He is a unique creature in the dog kingdom (which is also filled with unique creatures).
He is a lover of life and a lover of the people he knows. He loves to play games, go on adventures, take long hikes, ride in the car, chew on a Kong, learn new tricks, make up fun things to do, and chillax. He is open to the world, but so far, the world has not been open to him. We are open to him and LOVE him dearly. Staff and volunteers play with him and take him on outings every day, BUT, he needs a home. A real home, with someone who can love him like we do.
He's very fun and funny and lively, but not too lively (he has an off switch). He’s smart and talented and loves to learn. He’s done some Nose Work and played on agility equipment, just for fun. He knows tricks and is always up for learning more. He is VERY photogenic – we always thought he should be on TV.
This Hummingbird of a dog is charming and silly and quirky and amazing.
He needs his special someone(s)—it is guaranteed that he would bring you joy and conjure love into your heart and home. You just need to be open to him and he will bring it all!

We are a national training center for search and rescue dogs where we professionally train and then pair talented dogs with fire department handlers at no cost to them. Dogs that do not continue with search dog training (for a variety of reasons) are career changed or available for adoption into pet homes as part of our Lifetime Care Program. This program ensures that once rescued, these dogs never need to be rescued again.
Once we find an adoptive family for our extraordinary dogs, we train the canine and the family, stay in touch with the household, and act as the dog’s advocate for life, making sure that he or she is receiving excellent care in a happy, healthy environment.
The program ensures that every dog in the SDF family has a wonderful life and is in no risk of re-entering the shelter system. This is SDF’s unwavering commitment.
