Story
*SABLE IS ADOPTED!* Are you ready to meet the pup of your dreams? If yes, Pal's Place would love to introduce Sable, an incredibly affectionate and social gal with more love to give than you can imagine. This tender-hearted and loyal girl will be your best friend and steadfast companion for life, and she's eager to meet you! Sable adores people and other dogs, and is a friendly face to every human and canine she meets. She was rescued from an overwhelmed animal control facility in rural Kentucky, along with her six littermates, when they were just eight weeks old. Shelters and rescues across the US are facing a crisis: adoption rates have slowed considerably over the past 18 months, while surrenders and intake numbers have risen. In previous years, puppies in shelters and rescues were usually adopted quickly, often as soon as they became available. Unfortunately, in the past year, it has become more common than not for friendly, adoptable dogs, including puppies, to stay in shelters or foster homes for many months before finding a family. As victims of this current shelter and rescue crisis, Sable and two of her remaining littermates, who will turn a year old in mid-March, have grown up in foster care, waiting for their forever homes. These sweet pups are more than ready and eager to find the loving, forever families they deserve. Sable is close to 60 pounds now and still growing. We expect she'll weigh between 75 and 90 pounds when fully grown. A DNA test on two littermates reveals their breed mix as 35% Bluetick Coonhound, 27% German Shepherd, 23% Husky, and 15% Staffordshire Terrier.
She's doing well with housebreaking and is crate trained, but she’s still a pup learning the ropes. Potential adopters should be prepared to continue her basic training and obedience. She's smart as a whip and eager to please, making training sessions fun and enjoyable. Sable is a dog with heart and spirit, curious about the world, and always ready for new adventures. She will make a wonderful and loyal companion for an active family! Sable is fostered in Chicago, and meet-and-greets are by appointment only after an adoption application has been received and approved. For more information or to apply, please email palsplace1@hotmail.com or visit our website at palsplacerescue.org.
Sable's adoption fee is $475 (now reduced to $300 thanks to a generous sponsorship). This fee helps cover her medical expenses while in our care. She is spayed, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and on monthly flea and heartworm preventives.
