She's a sensitive girl who was been upset by losing her family and is comforted by the presense of her foster mom. She would even happier in her very own home with a new family!Rosa is a strong girl who will need a physically capable adopter as she can pull pretty hard on leash. She has been reactive to other dogs and cats in her foster home so being an only child will set her up to be the most successful! We know there are so many great people out there how love rotties! We just need to find one that will give Rosa the happy ending we want for her!A reduced adoption fee of $100 does apply for Rosa, our seniors, special medical and behavioral needs dogs and other 'slow to adopt' dogs!Augusta Dog Adoptions is an all- volunteer, foster- based rescue.

Story

If you’re looking for a loyal, gentle companion who just wants to love and be loved—Lisa is your girl 💛 Lisa is a 6-year-old sweetheart who has completely won over her foster home. She’s incredibly gentle, patient, and loving—especially with her tiny dachshund foster sister, who she happily lets climb all over her and even sneak bites of her food. She’s the perfect mix of calm and playful. Lisa enjoys lounging around but also loves toys and a good game of tug-of-war. She’s fully potty trained, great on a leash, wonderful with kids, and has no food aggression. She’s quiet, friendly with everyone she meets, and happiest when she’s right by your side. Lisa does well in a crate or left out at home (she’ll just nap on the couch!) and is cooperative for baths and nail trims. She’ll even give you the cutest little howl when she wants a walk or mealtime. Although we believe she would be fine in a house with cats due to a very low prey drive she has never been cat tested, but, if need be we can arrange for that. She can be a bit sensitive to loud voices or sudden movements, so she’d thrive in a calm, loving home where she can feel safe and cherished.

NOTE- ISABELLE IS LISTED AS A COURTESY FOR ANOTHER RESCUE ORGANIZATION. PLEASE SEE CONTACT INFO BELOW Valley View Animal Rescue email: amybennettwashburn@hotmail.com Phone: (540) 862-1756Isabelle is our oldest rescue and has been waiting for a home since 5/20/2025. In puppyhood, she was transferred into our care from another shelter and was adopted quite early. She was returned as a 1 year old, and after months of waiting, was adopted out again. In her last home, she served as protector of her female owner while her male owner was away on business, and got lots of TLC and training. While she was such a good girl at that home, her owners went through a divorce, and she was returned back to us last May at no fault of her own. Isabelle misses having a big yard to play in and a family to snuggle. She is a very good girl with manners and obedience and while she is near and dear to our hearts, the kennel life is not what's best for her. She would do best in a home with older children as she does not like her belly or booty touched (unless she gets booty scratches- she LOVES those), and does well with young, submissive canine companions (or as an only dog). She would benefit from a large yard to run in as she has loads of energy. We recommend a fenced in yard or a training collar, as that is what her previous owner used. Isabelle loves all people, but is especially a girl's girl.
