Story

Meet Ernie!Ernie is a lovable goofball with a heart as big as his personality! This handsome boy is a little quirky, a little wobbly, and absolutely perfect in his own special way.Ernie has Wobbler Syndrome, which means he moves through life a little differently than most dogs. His balance can be a bit off, and he may have some mobility challenges, but he doesn’t let that stop him from enjoying the things he loves most: affection, snacks, and making people laugh with his silly antics.He’s the kind of dog who will keep you smiling with his goofy expressions, awkward zoomies, and happy tail wags. Ernie is incredibly sweet, loves being around his people, and is happiest when he’s included in the fun—whether that’s a short stroll, relaxing in the yard, or simply lounging nearby soaking up attention.Ernie is looking for a family who sees the beauty in the imperfect and understands that sometimes the best dogs come with a few extra quirks. He may need a little extra support and a home that can accommodate his special needs, but in return, he’ll offer endless love, laughter, and companionship.If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind best friend with a goofy soul and a heart of gold, Ernie might just be your perfect match.IN-SHELTER NOTES & IDEAL HOMESIZE:63 lbsHOME TYPE:Minimal stairs for Ernie to navigateCHILDREN:Older kids that are dog savvyCATS & SMALL ANIMALS:Potentially with proper introductionsOTHER DOGS:Not recommended due to Ernie`s Medical needsACTIVITY/ENERGY LEVEL:Moderate to High; will need lots of daily exercise, enrichment and mental stimulation.TRAINING REQUIREMENTS/NEEDS:At least three in-person training sessions to work on socialization and basic training in a medically appropriate mannerAt HSKWSP we do not assign our dogs or cats with a breed as we cannot guarantee the specific breed that they are.

Story

Meet Dumpling!Dumpling is a spirited, high-energy pup with a whole lot of personality packed into one adorable package! This playful guy is always ready for action—whether it’s zooming around the yard, chasing toys, or exploring the world by your side. He thrives in an active home that can keep both his body and mind busy.While Dumpling has a big zest for life, he can be a little unsure when meeting new people or navigating unfamiliar environments. Because of this, he’ll do best with a patient and understanding adopter who can give him the time and space he needs to build confidence at his own pace. Once he feels safe, his fun-loving and affectionate nature really begins to shine.Dumpling also has a strong prey drive, so he’ll need a home that can manage this appropriately—no small animals for this guy, please!

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Max – Olde English Bulldogge | Loyal, Calm Companion Max is turning 6 later this month and is looking for the right home where he can continue to thrive. He is extremely loyal and forms strong bonds with his people. Max is calm and well behaved in the home, but still enjoys playtime and being part of your day. He walks very well on leash and is easy to handle, making him a great companion for daily walks and relaxed routines. He is great with kids and has a steady, easygoing temperament. He does best in a home where he gets regular attention and interaction. We are unsure how he is with other pets, so a home as the only dog or with careful introductions is best. We are not in a rush and will prioritize the right fit. A rehoming fee of $375 USD applies and includes crate, bed, leash, and winter gear.

Story

Ranger is vocal and loves to tell you about his day and then tell you again! He loves to be pet and looks at a gate as a challenge, not a barrier. He can be stubborn and defiant, so a strong Alpha owner is needed or he will take control. He is a powerful puller on leash, so a harness is best. He likes car rides and is crate trained. He is looking for a forever home that has some experience with the food motivated lab and stubborn mastiff. Due to his size and strength, older children are best. He has a great smile, and will show all his teeth when he is happy or nervous. He is up to date with his vaccines, flea and tick treated, microchipped, Heartworm negative and is neutered. His adoption fee is $500. You must be 21 years old to adopt and provide vet and personal references. An application to adopt him can be found on our website www.oxfordcountyanimalrescue.com. Click on Adopt, then Dogs for Adoption and scroll to the bottom of the page. All applications are reviewed, and if we feel you might be a good fit for him, you will be contacted to arrange a home visit as well as for permission to speak with your vet. Repeated phone calls and emails with not advance your application. We are a volunteer, foster based rescue and there is no opportunity to meet him before an application has been approved.
