Story
Yam is an adorable 3 month old female puppy. We anticipate her to be medium size when fully grown. She has a beautiful black coat. Yam was found, along with her mom and littermates, living underneath a trailer at a solar farm in rural Texas. Local rescuers built up mom's trust by feeding regularly, and thankfully were able to trap mom and crawl under the trailer to rescue the babies. Yam, her littermates and her mom are now well fed, warm, and healthy. Yam loves people and plays well with other dogs. She is working hard on her potty training skills, but her forever family should be prepared to do more training while she learns the routine in her new home. She is up to date on vaccines, dewormed and microchipped, and she comes with her medical records and interstate health certificate from a veterinary examination prior to leaving Texas, which certifies her to be in good condition. Her adoption fee is $500, which will be used to support the many animals in our care whose medical bills far surpass their much lower adoption fee. We use those funds to support our program of readying additional dogs, puppies and kittens which we transport and adopt out in the northern United States. Our goal is to get as many homeless animals out of south eastern Texas, where we have a severe pet overpopulation crisis. If you’re not already familiar with our group, please feel free to visit our Group Page at https://www.facebook.com/groups/TxRescueRidersCommunity If you are serious about this pup, please contact us at DogTrailRides@gmail.com. We take payments through Zelle, Venmo, or CashApp, or we can take card numbers over the phone and process them through Square. All of these methods provide a receipt. Thank you for supporting our efforts to bring Texas dogs north to loving homes! You can read more about us at https://facebook.com/TxRescueRiders (Texas Rescue Riders).

Story
Echo is a 4-month-old mixed breed puppy with the sweetest heart and a story that reminds us why rescue matters so much. He currently weighs about 10 pounds, and we expect him to be medium sized when fully grown. He has a gorgeous red-gold coat that is silky soft. Echo was found abandoned in a box in a grocery store parking lot, left behind after a botched attempt to crop his ears. We will never know why someone chose to torture this poor sweet puppy and leave him for dead, but thankfully Echo still adores people even after all he has been through. Today, Echo is fully healed, happy, and thriving. His ears are now a cosmetic difference only — he has no hearing loss or medical limitations because of them. What he does have is a bright future ahead and so much love to give. Echo loves people of all ages. He is currently being fostered with a child and three other dogs, where he has done wonderfully. He loves to play outdoors in the snow, and buries his face in the snow as much as he can. He is doing great on his potty training and crate training. He’s social, resilient, and has shown just how adaptable and trusting he is despite his rough start. This sweet boy would make a fantastic addition to a family looking for a young dog who’s already learning what it means to be safe, loved, and part of a home. Echo doesn’t let his past define him — he’s focused on toys, companionship, and being someone’s very good boy. He is up to date on vaccines, dewormed and microchipped, and he comes with her medical records and health certificate from a veterinary examination which certifies him to be in good condition. His adoption fee is $500, which will be used to support the many animals in our care whose medical bills far surpass their much lower adoption fee.

Story
This handsome cocoa colored young man is Sid. He is around about 2 years old and currently weighs 47 pounds. He is a good boy who loves everyone he meets, he is a social boy. Does good with other friendly dogs with a proper greeting of course. He is a lover boy who likes to sneak kisses and very gently lick the face, lol. He loves to have fun with doggy toys or run around for some fun but then knows how to relax and take it easy. When he is outside, he likes to sit on top of the doghouse. But this athletic boy can jump a regular 4ft fence so would need a taller one or a tie out is all. He is now ready and, on the lookout, to find his very own forever family to love and entertain in life. If interested in this sweet fella an online application can be found at SandiPaws.org ask for Sid. He will be in WI on January 4thThank you for choosing SandiPaws Rescue. Please visit our site at sandipaws.org to fill out an application to adopt. You can find information for volunteering and donations on our site as well.

Story
Meet Loki! He has been wonderful to foster. He is crate trained, potty trained & knows basic commands. He gets along well with the other dogs in his foster home- a husky mix, pit bull mix, coonhound, & an Aussie. He is very playful. He is a very quick learner & really just wants to be your perfect dog. When I tell him to settle, he goes right to his crate & relaxes without me closing it. Loki loves to bounce around in the snow & he loves to snuggle. Honestly, he just wants to be the best dog for his person. He is very sweet. If he likes you, he will jump on you if he is excited. We are working on that, but it is so sweet because he just wants to be loved & give tons of kisses. Loki loves attention, so he would be great being the only dog in the home, but he would be fine with another pup as well.He does not have experience with children or cats in his foster home, but from my experience with him, he would be very curious & loving.Apply at Rescuegang.orgDATCP#483538
