Story
Sweet sweet Rambo!! What can we say?? ..where do we begin?  Rambo is looking for a home where he will be allowed to shine on his own time frame.  With love and patience his true personality will come out and he will be the best dog anyone could ever ask for if just given that chance.  He joined us after his owner died.  He was one of four dogs left behind, no one aware dogs were unattended.  His father died still tied to his chain.  He and his brother broke free.  When help arrived he watched his mother cut off her chain and hauled off on a catch pole, then was humanely trapped a week later, leaving his brother Ruckus behind to fend for himself alone.  Unfortunately, his mother was riddled with cancer so was put to rest at the shelter.  Rambo struggled with the shelter setting, upheaval of his life, intorductions and pepole handling.  Once his brother Ruckus was secured we went to get Rambo too.  Rambo, who had been tentative about people could not be happier to see Ruckus and their rehab began together.   We believe Rambo and Ruckus had an okay beginning, loved and cared for, maybe not the way we would like but they welcome new people nicely especially if treats or a doggy bone are involved. Rambo is a teddy bear with the most innocent soulful eyes  He enjoys his toys, especially his special balls.  He prefers stability, but will go with the flow!  He chills very nicely and would appreciate a calm home where someone is home a lot, a friend to read a book with or to watch TV.  A backyard to explore under supervision would be ideal.   He's down for an adventure and loves car rides.  He enjoys walks and adjusts well to new surroundings and outings.  He can still be tentative if people move too fast or something unexpected startles him.  Rambo has done well with some dogs, mostly female but is selective on who can be in his circle of friends but would love to be adopted with his bro Ruckus (please ask about him) but he understands that may not be possible for it would take a very very special family to welcome 2 dogs at once.  However, Ruckus is a much more subdued home body kinda guy so both makes for perfect home and out/about.  WOW!! What a great fairytale that would be!?  Can he come live with and love you??  Please pick Rambo!! Flight Risk: do not leave unattended in a yard, crate training is a must when you are gone, tight grip on the leash is a must on adventures. Must be aware of open doors and windowsTo adopt: https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/37765/genericTo foster: https://petstablished.com/foster_form/37764/genericEmail: awayhomefordogs@gmail.com ##1338938##

Story
Sweet sweet Ruckus!! What can we say?? ..where do we begin?  Ruckus is looking for a home where he will be allowed to shine on his own time frame.  With love and patience his true personality will come out and he will be the best dog anyone could ever ask for if just given that chance.  He joined us after his owner died.  He was one of four dogs left behind, no one aware dogs were unattended.  His father died still tied to his chain.  He and his brother broke free.  When help arrived he watched his mother cut off her chain and hauled off on a catch pole then his brother trapped.  He was the last one left and was often seen sleeping on or next to his dad's body.  Gratefully a concerned neighbor reached out and we developed a plan to get him safe.  Unfortunately, his mother was riddled with cancer so was put to rest at the shelter.  His brother had also been taken to the shelter and was not doing well.  We picked his brother up and started the healing process for both.  That reunion was something else.  Ruckus went from scared, withdrawn and aloof to free.  Rambo, who had been tentative about people could not be happier to see Ruckus and their rehab began together.   We believe Ruckus and Rambo had an okay beginning, loved and cared for, maybe not the way we would like but they welcome new people nicely especially if treats or a doggy bone are involved. Ruckus is a teddy bear with the most innocent soulful eyes  Ruckus likes stability, nothing wrong with that!  He chills very nicely and would appreciate a calm home where someone is home a lot, a friend to read a book with or to watch TV.  A backyard to explore under supervision would be ideal.   He's a homebody as new/busy situations make him a bit nervous.  Eventually leashed walks around the block or  where it isn’t too busy could be enjoyable. He doesn’t need to go shopping, or to community/neighborhood events.. Ruckus can probably be talked into a ride in the car to a quiet cabin in the mountains with his favorite person who would give him quick leashed potty breaks… that’s all he would require. Sounds like the perfect easy dog, right?!  Ruckus would really really love to be chosen along with his brother Rambo (please ask about him) but he understands that may not be possible for it would take a very very special family to welcome 2 dogs at once.  However, Rambo is a much more outgoing and adventerous guy so both makes for perfect home and out/about.  WOW!! What a great fairytale that would be!?  Can he come live with and love you??  Please pick Ruckus!! Flight Risk: do not leave unattended in a yard, crated when when you are gone, tight grip on the leash is a must on adventures. Must be aware of open doors and windows.  NEVER off leash in unfenced areas.To adopt: https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/37765/genericTo foster: https://petstablished.com/foster_form/37764/genericEmail: awayhomefordogs@gmail.com ##1338937##

Story
How this pet arrived: Orion was brought in by our Humane Law Enforcement team on June 27, 2025. Why this pet is the one for you:Meet Orion - a shining star in the making who's just looking for the right constellation to call home. Found as a stray, Orion's past is unknown, but he's ready to write a new chapter with a patient and understanding family. He can be nervous with new faces and places, so he'll need a calm, supportive environment (and no little ones under 12) to help him build confidence. Once he feels safe, Orion's playful side comes out - he loves long walks, sniffing every inch of the trail, doing zoomies in the yard and soaking up affection - even belly rubs! He can get a little overexcited at times (which may include jumping and mouthing), but with continued positive reinforcement and slow introductions, this sweet boy will keep shining brighter every day! Come speak to an adoption counselor to learn more about Orion today! At SDHS:Orion has been vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. He is now ready for his new home! Excitable Dog: Orion requires a virtual behavior consult, please watch THIS video to learn more about him. Primary Color: White Secondary Color: Tan Weight: 56 Age: 2yrs 5mths 1wks

Story
This is a courtesy listing, not a SPOT Rescue dog. For more information regarding Amber, contact Will below... Meet Amber! Amber is a spayed 7-8 year old female black lab who needs a new home because her prior senior citizen owner, our brother Wes, cannot take her to his new care facility. Amber's disposition is friendly toward familiar people. She is an EXCELLENT companion dog who is quiet and restful. She is guarded with strangers, but warms up quickly. She can be anxious and barking if left alone for multiple hours. She is indifferent to adult cats, and can live peacefully with another dog. Noisy, young, playful, kids make her anxious and would take getting used to. She does not tolerate being left alone or locked and crated for prolonged hours, as she barks in protest. She likes petting and a good belly rub. Weighs about 70 lbs; is in good health with maintenance flea and tick meds and nail clippings. She needs regular brushing to maintain her shiny, silky smooth, black fur. She is potty trained, and walks on a 6 foot leash without pulling or dragging you down the road. Can you help Amber by being her new owner? Interested parties should contact Walt Ferris at 760.815.2427
