Story
This adorable little girl and her siblings came in to rescue last winter after they were dumped on a back country road. Their mother was found deceased, so we took the puppies in to try to save them. They were very sick initially but are very healthy now. Blair is a gentle little girl, but does love to run and play with other dogs. She has done amazing with her house and crate training. She is so deserving of a wonderful home to call her own. She is fostered in East TN, but transportation is included in the adoption fee and provided by Rescue Riders LLC. Please let me know if you have any questions. We can email you a link to the adoption application.

Story
Meet Biscotti! While his namesake is known for being hard and crispy, this Biscotti is known for being soft and squishy, with a warm gooey center. His dad is a Rat Terrier and mom is a Lab mix. You’ll never have to wonder what Biscotti is thinking as he has the most expressive, well-defined set of caramel eyebrows that would make even Hollywood’s elite jealous. If this sounds like the pup for you, please complete an application at https://www.saveastray.org/forms/form?formid=3635 Once the application is approved, a FaceTime will be set up for a virtual meet and greet. Since we are located in Mobile, AL, this will give you the opportunity to see the pet interact with other dogs, people, and see a bit of their personality. Transports leave every week alternating between the NE and the Great Lakes. We use the most animal-friendly transport on the road. Rescue Riders Pet Transport. Thank you for your interest in a Save a Stray pet.

This is a friendly, happy and energetic pup! He gets along with other pups and has no problems with strangers. He will need puppy training and a routine. He has done well on walks and in a car. He will need extra exercise (likes to play fetch) of some sort to keep him busy. He is a great boy who is full of love and energy who likes to play in water. He will make a wonderful addition for any family adventure. He is located in Tennessee but can be transported to you though Rescue Riders.
