Story
Max is a great dog loves to play and loves his bones! We have had issues with potty training since the beginning. For the most part he is okay with going potty outside but he wears a diaper inside as he likes to mark around the house. He is also an escape artist so we always take him out on a leash. He’s a great dog. But unfortunately we cannot keep him, and we are looking to rehome him. He knows how to sit, give paw and roll over. He is great with kids too

Story
Scooby Dooby Doo is ready to find his forever family! Scooby Dooby Doo is a happy, energetic little guy who’s ready to bring fun and love into his forever home! His foster reports that he’s potty trained and doing great with his routine. His estimated birthday is 4/1/2025 and he is a small little guy (fully grown). Scooby is truly a social butterfly — he’s friendly with both men and women and has done wonderfully with children. He loves making friends and fits right in with his foster fur siblings. When he met a cat, Scooby was eager to play… unfortunately, the cat didn’t quite share his enthusiasm (Scooby still thinks it was worth a try!). Don’t let his size fool you — Scooby has some serious hops! When treats are involved, he can jump impressively high. If he had a career, he’d definitely be a professional apple picker thanks to those athletic leaps. He also loves a good game of tug-of-war and is always up for playtime. Scooby’s energy level is best described as well-balanced. He’s very active, curious, and eager to explore, but he also knows how to settle down and relax. He’s a quick learner who enjoys staying engaged, making him a great match for someone looking for both a playful companion and a cuddly sidekick. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, friendly pup with personality for days, Scooby Dooby Doo might just be your perfect match!

Story
Meet Sasha (Yes, that Sasha) Sasha is a 4-year-old Chihuahua mix who has officially decided that her past does not define her future — and she’s ready to start the best chapter yet. Her origin story is… unfortunate (a previous owner didn’t want a female dog and fed her only sweet potatoes), which left Sasha malnourished and dealing with skin issues. But thanks to proper vet care, real food, and the endless love of her foster mama, Sasha has had a full glow-up. New body, new confidence, same sweet soul. Now, Sasha is thriving. She’s healthy, happy, and a total sweetheart who gets along beautifully with kids, cats, and other dogs. She’s the kind of dog who just wants to be loved — and will return that love tenfold. Gentle, affectionate, and quietly grateful, Sasha is proof that second chances can change everything. Sasha is looking for a forever home that will cherish her, spoil her responsibly (no potato-only diets allowed), and remind her every day that she’s safe and wanted. If you’re ready for a loyal companion with a heart of gold and a comeback story worth cheering for, Sasha is waiting. Apply to adopt today: sayvanimals.org/adopt (PLEASE NOTE: Despite what PetFinder, AdoptAPet and other aggregation software systems state - the first step is to submit an application via the link above, NOT send a message through their platforms. Thank you!)

Story
Meet Scout, an adorable 20lb Terrier/Chi/Cattle Dog type mix who came from local animal control as an unclaimed stray. He is a sweet boy who loves to be with people and receive attention. He knows sit and paw and will happily offer those commands whenever you would like, sometimes even when you are not asking for them. Scout has lots of energy and is working on leash manners. Because of his dog reactivity, he will need some work on walks. A fenced yard would be great for him. He does love to run around and sniff in the grass. He can tend to grab the leash to try to tug or be a little mouthy when he gets excited. He is looking for a home with no children or other pets.

Story
Marty is an adorable senior Chihuahua mix, who is about 10 years old and around 20lbs. He was adopted out from WCHS in 2023 and was recently returned due to his owner having health issues. He’s back at the shelter, loving all the staff and volunteers but he really wants to be in a home again. He loves to lounge around with people or in a comfy dog bed. While Marty is dog and kid friendly, he does get protective to guard his human in a home environment, so he is looking for a home as the only pet. Marty walks pretty well on leash and does enjoy rolling in the grass for belly rubs too.Marty's adoption fee has been generously sponsored!
