Story
Hi, I'm Gordon! I'm a handsome, sweet, and friendly guy who loves everyone I meet! I’m a big puppy with moderate energy. I love to play, but I’m just as happy to slow down, curl up in your lap, and soak up some affection. I’m friendly with other dogs, although I can be a little hesitant when meeting new friends. Once I get comfortable, I like to play! I do enjoy having my own space, so a larger, respectful dog who understands boundaries would be a great match for me. I’m not a big fan of super clingy doggy friends and will let them know. I’m still learning all my puppy manners. I’m a big boy with sharp puppy teeth, and when I get really excited I like to jump! Because of that, older kids would be the best fit for me. I’m a quieter guy and not super vocal, but I do have plenty of puppy personality! My favorite time of day? MEALTIME! I also love my morning runs around the yard. I’m sweet, affectionate, playful, and ready to find my family. I may be a big puppy, but there’s nothing I love more than being close to my people! --- Gordon is from Texas.

Hi, I'm Beth! I'm a beautiful, goofy, outgoing girl with big puppy energy! I’m friendly with everyone and love playing with other dogs. I’m a rough-and-tumble wrestler who loves to climb, jump, run! I’m good with kids but can accidentally knock them over when I get excited, so older kids are preferred. I love my doggy friends and would enjoy having a playful companion who can keep up with my puppy energy. Since I’m still learning when playtime is over, a patient, easygoing dog would be a great match for me. I have not been exposed to cats yet, so my experience with them is unknown. I’m making great progress with potty training! I’m also working hard on crate training, even though it’s not my favorite thing just yet. I’m a smart girl who is ready to keep learning. I can be pretty vocal, especially when it’s crate time or when I spot something exciting outside, like squirrels or other dogs. I’m just a girl with a lot to say! My favorite time of day? Hmm... meals and playtime!! I’m sweet as can be, and I'm looking for a high-energy family to love. I promise I’ll keep you laughing along the way! --- Beth is from Texas.

Story
Raven is my name and kind of like a raven, I am a 'loner'... except for the puppies i had when I arrived at the rescue... I was saved by a trapper on the streets, they weren't even there to save ME that day, but they did!!! I am obviously a beautiful girl, big and solid as well as black and brindly. I am a loving girl, in my own way... i lived on the streets for who knows how long and I honestly am not a cuddly girl or even a sit by your feet dog, YET... I have all kinds of love to give, you can see in my eyes that I have always dreamed of someone with the patience to love me for who I am and who I can be!! I am great on a leash and do love walking around and exploring. I am good with other dogs and likely would do best with another dog who is calm and confident with his/her family. I am so so ready for you, I have the shepherd double coat so I will shed in your house, must have a great vacuum cleaner and tolerance of hair :) Local adoption fee is $300(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Zola: protector & sensitive soul Rarely does a gorgeous mix of a dog with such a tender heart survive a history of neglect and abuse, yet emerge so loving, affectionate and dedicated to guarding her household. Zola is one such tale. She was found under a daycare, having given birth to a litter of puppies. Always stunning in looks as a black mouth cut/Dutch shepherd mix (our best guess), she was shut down, shy, wary of raised voices & reaching hands, but never, ever mean. In her foster mom’s home, she has gradually come out of her shell. She now loves being hugged on, petted, brushed. She oh, so gently takes treats. She is great with other dogs, but her favorites to cuddle with are similar to her in size. She is very gentle with children, and extremely emotionally intuitive. She takes “night patrol” duties seriously, having assigned herself the task of ensuring property safety before she settles indoors to sleep. Zola is ready & so deserves a loving furever home of her own. She will make an excellent addition to a family or as a solo dog. Attributes Wonderful with children Very emotionally intuitive Local adoption fee is $300(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
(The DNA came back German shepherd, Shar Pei and Chow.) This handsome fellow and his 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. Big boy is a gentle boy but does love to run and play with other dogs. Big boy was the largest of the puppies, but his siblings have caught up to him. He has done amazing with his house and crate training. He is so deserving of a wonderful home to call his own. He 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. Please email us for the link to the adoption application (His adoption fee is only to cover transport and health certificate to travel to another state.)

Story
Lola is a beautiful 2-year-old German Shepherd mix with a heart as big as her playful spirit. This sweet girl has quite the story—she spent over a month as a stray in her neighborhood, where she quickly won over everyone, especially the local kids. She would happily walk them to and from the bus stop, soaking up all the love, playtime, and snacks they had to offer. It’s clear from the start: Lola adores people, especially children. Lola is the perfect mix of fun and well-mannered. She loves toys (especially balls!) and will happily play fetch and retrieve to her heart’s content. She also enjoys playing with other dogs and would do great in a home with a canine companion. She’s both house-trained and kennel-trained and can relax comfortably in a crate for extended periods without issue. Lola travels well in the car (especially in her crate) and is always up for an adventure—she truly loves going for rides. Lola is smart and eager to please, showing all the classic German Shepherd traits. She knows her name, responds well to training, and even does well off leash in appropriate settings like trails. She’s not destructive and doesn’t chew on household items—she’d much rather enjoy a Milk-Bone or a good game of fetch. While Lola is generally well-behaved in the home, she can be a bit vocal when excited, especially when greeting people or when someone comes to the door. This is typical of her breed and manageable with continued guidance and training. Once she settles, she’s affectionate, attentive, and loves being close to her people. She has shown that she can coexist with cats and is overall a very adaptable, social dog. Lola has even waded into a pond before—so she might enjoy some water fun—but baths are definitely not her favorite activity! Lola is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and on prevention, ready to find her forever home. Ideal Home:
Lola would thrive in an active home where she can get plenty of playtime, exercise, and attention. A family with kids, another playful dog, or someone who enjoys outdoor adventures would be a great match for her. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, and playful companion who will stick by your side and keep you smiling, Lola just might be your girl. 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.
