Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Betsy is a very sweet breeder release girl in search of her forever family.  She loves all that this brand-new life has to offer. Snuggling on the couch next to her foster mom is one of her favorite things to do. Betsy is working hard on her housetraining.    ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS: Physically fenced in yard to keep her safe - no invisible fences. Confident resident dog in the home preferred.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.*All SFCR dogs are current on age-appropriate vaccinations (rabies, distemper, bordetella, and lepto), spayed/neutered (if at least 6 months of age), tested for heartworm & tick-borne diseases, receive dentals if needed, are started on preventatives for heartworm and fleas/ticks, and microchipped. Prior to being rescued, many of our dogs have received limited socialization, so they generally require extra time to settle in and acclimate. Skills like house training, leash walking, and mastering stairs may require a little extra practice. However, with understanding, patience, and a gentle hand, most of our dogs adapt quite quickly. November 12, 2025, 9:16 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Annie is a gorgeous little cocker spaniel in search of her forever family. Unfortunately, she has pretty significant vision and hearing impairments due to birth defects. However, she does not allow these impairments to hold her back - she is a very happy girl and loves nothing more than to snuggle up on the couch with her foster humans. Annie is working hard on her house and crate training and is making good progress. She adores the other dogs in her foster home.   ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS: Physically fenced in yard to keep her safe - no invisible fences. Open concept home with minimal stairs would be ideal for Annie. A confident resident dog to help guide Annie would be best.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Ivy is a fun-loving little cavalier in search of her forever. She has been thoroughly enjoying her freedom and loves nothing more than to run in the backyard and do zoomies. Ivy was pretty nervous about human touch when she first arrived but has made great progress and is trusting us more and more all the time. Ivy is doing great with her house training and is crate trained. Ivy does not show any evidence (heart murmur) of MVD at this time, but it is something to be aware of for all cavaliers.   ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS: Physically fenced in yard to keep her safe - no invisible fences.  Ivy needs a confident resident dog in her forever home to learn from and help build her confidence.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.*All SFCR dogs are current on age-appropriate vaccinations (rabies, distemper, bordetella, and lepto), spayed/neutered (if at least 6 months of age), tested for heartworm & tick-borne diseases, receive dentals if needed, are started on preventatives for heartworm and fleas/ticks, and microchipped.
