Story
Alder is an extremely sweet, quiet, shy boy. He is the dog version of an introvert. He is gentle and sticks to himself and is great with other dogs of all sizes and with cats. He doesn't engage much with them thought as he prefers to do his own thing. He has to be the most low maintenance and chill dog I've ever had in the rescue out of hundreds of dogs. He is hesitant with people he doesn't know but never aggressive. Not an ounce of aggression. He was listed as a pit bull mix at the shelter when he was smaller and still a younger puppy but now that he is an older puppy (about a year) it's obvious that he is not a pittie but looks more like a border collie. He is currently still in Oklahoma where he was rescued but he can only be adopted out of state where people treat animals well. He has to be prepaid and picked up directly from transport at one of our transport drop off locations below. If things don't work out for some reason, which rarely ever happens, we will either find a local foster to take him in or he will go back to Oklahoma on our next transport until a new home is found. Note: No dogs are advertised as potty-trained because most dogs need at least some re-training in a new environment and after being in a shelter/rescue environment/strays. www.facebook.com/desideratarescue (copy and paste into a new browser window) Transport locations: - Washington State (Kennewick, Spokane, Tumwater, Tacoma, Tukwila, Lynnwood/Edmonds, Bellingham) - Oregon (Portland and Springfield) - Colorado (Ft Lupton) - Idaho (Heyburn and Boise/Meridian) - Utah (Ogden) - Wyoming (Evanston, Rock Springs, Laramie) - Montana (Missoula) - Illinois (Vandalia, Springfield, Chicago) - Indiana (Spiceland, Burn Harbor) - Michigan (St Joseph, Battle Creek, Ann Arbor) - Wisconsin (Madison, Wausau, Eau Claire, Appleton, Milwaukee) - Minnesota (Minneapolis/St Paul) - Iowa (Des Moines) - Ohio (Columbus and London) - Pennsylvania (Erie, Pittsburgh and Harrisburg) - New York (Buffalo and Albany) - Connecticut (Enfield) - New Jersey (Bedminster) Vetting: neutered, microchipped, rabies vaccine, bordetella vaccine, dhpp vaccine x 3, lepto vaccine x 2, dewormed several times, on monthly flea and tick prevention, on monthly heartworm protection, heartworm tested (negative) Adoption fee: $550 (includes the $250 cost of transport from Oklahoma and all vetting listed above) Adoption application (copy and paste into a new browser window): https://form.jotform.com/82677586784176 FAQs (copy and paste into a new browser window): https://docs.google.com/document/d/12eb_SRtk1AzaBl87UltcLJ24MjH9UhQm_LE77iWZEQA/edit?tab=t.0 Desiderata Rescue is Oklahoma Licensed Rescue #95

Story
Meet Tabitha! This adorable little girl has been in Wisconsin now for nearly a year :( We've learned so much about her during this time we just know the perfect home is out there for her! She prefers the company of women, and love to hang out with other dogs. Shes quite the snuggler in bed if you let her sleep with you, or she's totally fine hanging out with other dogs to snooze. She enjoys her time outdoors and does best in a home with a fenced yard. She currently is in a foster home on a farm and enjoys all things farm related! Tabitha will do best in a home with herding breed experience! She might need more than one meeting to warm up to you, but once she does, you are her friend for life! Please help us find the perfect home for Tabitha! She's one of a kind! **Our process includes an approved application, reference checks, a homevisit, and once approved a meet and greet with the dog. Please do not apply if pets in the home are not up to date per our website requirements or are not altered. Wisconsin applications are priority, but Illinois applications will be considered if no small children are present in the home, the home is owned, and excellent vet reference can be provided. We cannot process applications from other states. Adoption fee is $350 unless otherwise noted above. Puppies under 1 year of age accept application for families with children over 6 years of age for large breeds and over 8 years of age for small breeds. Since they are still puppies, dogs under 1 will require a basic obedience and puppy training class, and spay/neuter at the owners expense.

Story
Meet Bernie! This adorable Australian Cattle Dog puppy is as smart as he is cute, and he’s ready to find an active, loving home to grow up in. Like most Cattle Dogs, Bernie is full of energy, curiosity, and personality. He’s always eager to learn and would thrive with a family who can keep both his mind and body busy—think walks, playtime, training, and maybe even some fun dog sports down the line. He’s already showing signs of being a quick learner and will benefit from positive reinforcement and continued socialization as he grows. Bernie is still a puppy, so he’s working on all the basics like house training and manners. With consistency, structure, and a little patience, he’s sure to grow into a well-rounded and loyal companion. He would do best in a home that understands the needs of an active, intelligent breed and is excited about helping him become the best dog he can be. In return, Bernie will bring endless fun, love, and companionship into your life. If you’re ready for puppy adventures and a best friend who will keep you on your toes, Bernie might be the perfect match! Bernie is availbie for foster-to-adopt within 30 minutes of our shelter while we finish his medical. All of our dogs are dewormed, spayed/neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and heartworm tested if they are old enough.

Story
Meet Jack — a sweet, resilient pit mix puppy with a heart as big as his playful spirit. Jack came to us from Ozarks Pet Rescue, and he’s been soaking up every bit of love and stability since arriving. Like most puppies, he’s still learning the ropes of the world, but he’s already showing how affectionate, curious, and people-oriented he is. Jack is the kind of pup who wants to be wherever his humans are—whether that’s following you around the house, flopping down for a nap at your feet, or bouncing over with a toy when it’s playtime. He’s got a fun, wiggly personality and a soft spot for attention. Jack is eager to learn and responds best to gentle guidance, consistency, and positive reinforcement. He’s at the perfect age to continue building his confidence, learning basic manners, and discovering all the good things life has to offer. Jack would thrive in a home that can give him time, structure, and plenty of affection. An adopter who understands that puppies need patience (and a bit of humor!) will find a loyal best friend in him. He’s ready to grow into a well-rounded companion—he just needs someone to help him get there. If you’re looking for a loving, playful pup who will adore you wholeheartedly, Jack might just be your perfect match. Jack is available for foster-to-adopt within 30 minutes of our shelter while we finish his medical All of our dogs are dewormed, spayed/neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and heartworm tested if they are old enough.
