Pupperoni IS a treat!! This gorgeous shiny and wavy black haired beauty has lots of energy and plenty of fancy moves, ready to go!! She is a very social girl that showed up at an apartment complex as a young pup and has been passed around the complex ever since. She grew into a large dog (and syill needs to fill out) with a lot of energy and finally somebody spoke up and asked Rescue to find her a more appropriate home than a small apartment. She pulls on a leash but knows how to listen and can walk well with just a little bit of training. She is good in a crate and currently live with cats! She loves everybody she meets and would make an excellent running partner or agility dog. She is very loving and very easy to take care of, love, loves her baths, and nails trimmed— she gets treated like it’s a spa day! Looking for an active lifestyle for this girl who could log many miles with you. She can learn to be off leash as the border collie in her leads her to run out and then circle back and check on you. For adoption application please contact irondawgs13@gmail.com

Last of the Litter... Starbucks Crew! Chai is a sweet and playful puppy. She enjoys playing with her stuffed toys and finding a cozy spot to cuddle up with her favorite person. She is wonderful with children, other dogs, and cats. She is learning to spend quiet time in her crate and is working on house training. As a young puppy, she is still learning the basics and will thrive with a family committed to providing training, consistency, and plenty of positive reinforcement. Chai is up to date on all age-appropriate vaccinations and monthly preventatives. She's spayed and microchipped, too. To adopt, submit an application at www.because4paws.org

This handsome boy is Oreo. He is a one-year-old flat coated retriever mix and weighs 58 lb. Oreo LOVES people! He wants to cuddle and spend quality time with anyone--no stranger danger for this boy! He loves to play ball and will enjoy all kinds of outdoor adventures. He is an active dog and needs an adopter that is committed to ongoing training and providing daily exercise. We think Oreo would be best as the only dog in the home, but he is ok with cats. This boy is going to make someone the most awesome companion! Oreo is neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and healthy. If you would like to meet/adopt Oreo, please complete our online application at https://daws.org/daws-online-adoption-application/ or stop by our shelter. We are open 10 AM to 4 PM seven days a week. The DAWS shelter address is 147 Grassy Plain St. Bethel. Email daws@daws.org with questions or if you wish to schedule an after-hours appointment. Oreo qualifies for the Pets For Patriots adoption program (information at https://daws.org/pets-for-patriots-program/). Oreo can't wait to meet you! Here are some short videos to enjoy of Oreo: https://youtube.com/shorts/ROHhpQvS8As https://youtube.com/shorts/VD9CYxBvX-s

I have an Adoption Pending but hope you will consider one of our other dogs in need. Thank you! It isn't often that you will find a rescue dog who is eligible for Canine Good Citizen certification! This well-trained fellow is ready to meet his new family, but we will let him tell you a little about himself first. "Hey y'all, I'm Sky, a 2-year-old Retriever/Border Collie mix with legs that were made for running and a heart that was made for loving. If you are looking for a buddy to join you on morning jogs, weekend hikes, or games of fetch, I'm your guy. I have energy to burn, but I’m super smart and already know how to sit and stay, and much more. After a fun day out, I’ll happily curl up at your feet while you watch TV. I’d love a home with a fenced yard to zoom around in!" Like many dogs who come from less than ideal backgrounds, this sweet love muffin came to us as a diamond in the rough. Thus, we sent Sky to a professional trainer who has taught him to become the best dog he can be! He is SUPER SMART and has mastered his commands quickly. He walks very well on the leash, and his adopter will be able to communicate with the trainer once Sky is home. With some dedication to exercise, consistency, and discipline, his adopter will find the Sky's the limit with this wonderful guy! Check out Sky working with his trainer in his video! Sky has fun energy and is a terrific retriever. As soon as he sees a toy, with his favorites being balls, he tries to catch them in mid-air. He usually brings it back, but sometimes he wants to play keep-away like a silly guy and will eventually drop the ball so he can retrieve it again. Sky loves playing with his buddy, Stuart, but he can be dog selective, so we are seeking a home for him where Sky can be someone's one and only. Perhaps when he settles in his new home, his adopter will find play dates for Sky with dogs he likes. Our volunteer in AL, shares, "Sky loves treats, likes to be petted, and enjoys rolling in the grass. The more time I spend with Sky, the more kissy and affectionate he has become! I'm very fond of Sky-guy! He will make a terrific companion for active owners." Sky is estimated to be about 2 years of age and weighs around 55 lbs, but could use a few more pounds on his frame. He has been neutered, brought up-to-date on vaccination, and microchipped. Sky is heartworm negative and has been given a Proheart-6 injection for 6 months of heartworm prevention. Sensational Sky will be headed north in mid-June to be directly adopted. If you are approved to adopt through SGRR, please contact Cheryl Kewley to be considered to adopt this adorable fellow. If you are not yet approved, visit our website to fill out an application. Rescued dogs come with a range of needs - from behavioral to emotional to medical.

The 10 Canine Good Citizen requirements: Accepting a friendly stranger Sitting politely for petting Appearance and grooming Walking on a loose leash Walking through a crowd Sitting or laying down on cue and staying in place Coming when called Reaction to another dog Reaction to distraction Supervised separation If not yet approved for adoption, please visit our website to learn more and to submit an online application. Click here to visit our website. Please contact us with any questions regarding your application status. PLEASE APPLY by submitting an application via this online link: Click for Adoption Application About Our Rescue Before being approved to adopt, all potential adopters need to complete our online application and participate in our pre-adoption review process. The process includes the completion of an online application, a reference from the applicants' vet, a phone interview, and a visit to the applicants' home. The application process helps us determine what type of Golden would be best suited for the applicants' life style. In some cases, the specific dog you are interested in may have found a home before this process is complete or further assessment may find that this dog is not the right match for your family. We are regularly getting new Goldens in need of a home, so we encourage you to apply and get approved so that when the right dog comes along you will be ready. The information provided on each dog is based on observations of our vets, volunteers, fosters and when available, trainers. While we do our best to report any and all issues, SGRR does not make any guarantees as to the health or temperament of any dog. Dogs evolve differently in different environments and we cannot predict with any certainty how the dog you adopt will act in your home.

Under the terms of the contract, all adopters are required to bring the rescue to a vet within 7 business days. The dogs receive basic veterinary care prior to adoption. If your vet identifies an illness that an adopter is not willing to treat, then the dog is returned and a full refund is provided. Many of our dogs are fostered in private homes and we do not have a facility to visit. We are committed to our dogs before, during, and after adoption! The rescue retains title to the dog and can never be released or sold. Should the adopters no longer be able to keep the dog, SGRR must be notified so that we can take the dog back into rescue and place it into another home. We reserve the right to remove a dog at any time should we find the adopter is no longer caring for their Golden in a way we see fit. Adopters then have to agree to follow up visits as needed. Please be a ray of light for this Sunshine dog and make a tax deductible donation toward medical and other expenses. Every cent of your generosity goes directly toward the care of a Sunshine dog.

Arlo is 2 years old, ridiculously handsome, and currently accepting applications for someone willing to throw tennis balls approximately 400 times a day.This sweet boy came to HVARS after his owner was relocated through the military and heartbreakingly could not bring him along. He arrived with all his favorite things packed up beside him: toys, bowls, little pieces of home. Deep down, Arlo still thinks he's just passing through to his next adventure and honestly, we would love nothing more than for that to be true.Arlo does have Atypical Addison's disease, which requires daily medication and regular vet care, but he's stable, happy, active, and very committed to living life at full speed. He's dog friendly, cat friendly, housetrained, wildly affectionate, and has a special talent for stealing every toy in sight.So, if you happen to be looking for a loyal best friend with a wagging tail and zero respect for personal toy ownership...Arlo is waiting for you!👉Submit an adoption application at HVARS.org/adoptions Primary Color: Silver Weight: 67.5 Age: 2yrs 3mths 1wks
