Story
Aroooo! My name is Nova and I'm a real go-getter! I am full of spunk, extremely fun and definitely knows what I want - -doesn't every girl? I love to play but can cuddle and enjoy some pampering as well. Nova will be adopted on a spay/neuter contract and will need lots of attention as any puppy does! She is 6 weeks old as of 4/4/2024 and will be ready to go end of April. Adoption applications are being accepted at this time!! Extremely intelligent and would be a good agility or scent work candidate! Better hurry . . .she will go fast. **Will be adopted on a contract that requires spay/neuter at 6 months**

Story
Arooo! Finn is a mellow little guy and loves to take in the view before going full force to sneak attack his toys. If you pick him up, he'll whine a bit then enjoy the loving. oing to be very intelligent, athletic and bonds quite quickly. We can definitely see him doing dog agility, scent work or anything active. Recall and basic obedience is a must as they are all great with their noses and will follow a scent to their hearts content. Both parents have no medical problems. **Will be adopted on a contract that requires spay/neuter at 6 months old**

Story
Apply at www.streetsavvydogrescue.org. URGENT SITUATION! Star, a dog adopted from Street Savvy Dog Rescue at least 6 yrs ago has turned up AGAIN Roaming the streets last seen with a homeless person. Back in July, we were having trouble getting hold of her owner and finally made the connection and returned her to him. Now we are experiencing a repeat of not being able to get an answer back from him despite repeated calls and texts. Sniff Daycare @sniffdoghotel kindly took her in overnight last night but we had to get her into our foster program and she is not doing well with other dogs in a not very large home with too little enough space to keep her separated properly from the resident three dogs and two cats! IMMEDIATE TEMP FOSTER HOME NEEDED! Star is great with people! TEXT 971-303-9415 THANK YOU COMMUNITY MEMBERS! Streetsavvydogrescue.org

PLEASE SHARE FAR AND WIDE! Yandel, and Thalia, rescues from the Alphonso 5 SSDR dogs brought from Mexico are ready to go to a kind and patient home (Thalia can be an only and needs a calm, loving owner who will give her space and time....)...she's fine w other dogs but isn't reliant on them. She's about 25 lbs and is a beagle, cocker spaniel, Chihuahua blend. She's NOT aggressive, just a shy wallflower. Her sibling Yandel loves other dogs and can either be adopted with his sister or go to a home with other dogs. Both are fine with cats. These darling dogs have been in the program far too long through no fault of their own. 2 adopters have failed them due to not understanding they need space initially and time to acclimate to new people and environments. Both just received medical exams, rabies, bordetella and dhlpp and they received Fi microchips from Street Savvy Dog Rescue at intake when they arrived a bit over a year ago. PLEASE give these darling dogs a chance. Their original owner in Mexico died and they were being fed ONCE EVERY 3 DAYS by a neighbor. They have come from trauma. They will be good, and sweet little companions for a senior. To apply for both, Thalia or Yandel, please visit us online at Streetsavvydogrescue.org THEY WILL BE AT THE ADOPTION EVENT THIS SATURDAY!

Thalia and Yandel are a darling bonded pair of, 2-4 yr old, King Charles Cavalier Spaniel and Beagle mixes (the breed is just based on how they look, it’s always a guessing game!), both around 20l3 lbs. They are both very shy and don’t show well at first, but once they warm up (it might take a day or two!), they are both going to be asking you to pet them and snuggle! They are both potty trained and walk well on a leash. Thalia and Yandel need a quiet adult-only home. They are both great with cats and other lowkey dogs. They would make perfect companions for retired folks, someone working from home, or someone who needs two special pups to dote on and receive reciprocal adoration and doting in return! Of the two, Thalia is definitely the more timid one, but once she warms up to you, she is the absolute sweetest girl! She will nudge you with her nose until you pet her. She hasn’t played with toys yet, but she will collect them into a pile to save for later. She also gets the puppy zoomies in the morning, and it is the cutest! Yandel is the slightly more confident one of the duo, he warms up a bit faster and may get to the point of enjoying walks (whereas Thalia is most likely going to stay a homebody). This guy is a sweetheart! He will chill right next to you wherever you are, he will hop up onto the bed when you lie down to go to sleep, and curl up next to your head. He is also fine to sleep on a dog bed if you prefer that." Both are 2-3 yrs and ready for adoption!

These 2 are a great size, are low key per their breed mix.....and will make perfect companion dogs for retired folks! Thalia is shyer while Yandel is the more outgoing of the 2. FINE WITH CATS and other non boisterous dogs as they prefer a quieter household. Breed: King Charles Cavalier Spaniel/beagle Completely vetted. Like lap dogs/ couch snugglers?

He is also great in his crate if his bed is in there, and has learned to sleep through the night in one if the room is dark. He has a normal level of crying and barking for a puppy, but he's super sweet and quiets down when he's asked to. It was a journey but he seems to be officially potty trained if he is on a consistent schedule, and will only have an accident if he hasn't gone recently and gets really excited. So far he's been exclusively eating the dog food provided, and Trader Joe's beef sticks, and hasn't had any troubles with those. He's super friendly with people and other dogs, and likes a lot of attention. Big cuddler!" Weighs in at around 44 lbs at approximately 6-7 months and is fully vetted!
