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.

Oso is the kind of dog who loves deeply. He doesn't hand out his heart to just anyone, but when he chooses you, you become his whole world. His foster mom is his favorite person on the planet, and watching him light up when she walks into the room is something truly magical. His tail starts wagging, his whole body softens, and suddenly this gentle, quiet boy turns into the sweetest love bug you've ever met. He'll happily soak up pets, lean in for affection, and remind you every day just how much he adores you. Watch Oso's video here, then come back to read more about him! https://youtu.be/LhvqYy6c93I?si=AEHRl2AtZ6Grazs- Meet Oso, a 5-year-old German Shepherd/Hound mix with soulful eyes, a heart of gold, and enough love to last a lifetime. Some dogs are everyone's best friend the moment they meet them. Oso is different—and that's what makes him so special. He's currently living in a foster home and has proven to be one of the easiest roommates around. Oso is wonderfully low-maintenance and low-energy. He's not looking for a marathon partner or someone to keep him entertained every minute of the day. His dream life consists of a comfy place to nap, a few leisurely walks, a car ride here and there, and his favorite people nearby. Honestly, Oso has mastered the art of relaxing. When it comes to other animals, Oso is as easygoing as they come. He lives peacefully alongside other dogs and has excellent canine manners. He's respectful, drama-free, and perfectly content to coexist without needing to be the center of attention. While he enjoys having dog friends around, he doesn't rely on them for confidence and would be just as happy as your one and only spoiled companion. Oso also showed wonderful promise around cats. During his cat introduction, he chose the strategy many cat owners dream of—minding his own business. He was polite, respectful, and preferred to give the cat space rather than investigate too closely. His calm, avoidant approach makes us think he could do very well in a home with cat-savvy feline friends. One of Oso's hidden talents? He's an excellent passenger. Need a co-pilot for errands, road trips, pup cups, or weekend adventures? Oso is ready to call shotgun. He rides beautifully in the car and is happy to accompany you wherever life takes you. Now for the part that makes Oso uniquely Oso: he can be a little shy when meeting new people. New faces and unfamiliar situations can make him nervous, and he appreciates being allowed to move at his own pace. But beneath that cautious exterior is an incredibly gentle, loving dog who wants nothing more than to feel safe and loved. Give him a little patience, a little kindness, and maybe a few tasty treats, and you'll get to watch his personality bloom. And when it does? It's worth every second. Because behind those cautious first impressions is a sweet boy with a silly little happy tail, a soft heart, impeccable manners, and a capacity for love that runs deep. Oso isn't looking for someone perfect. He's just looking for someone willing to give him a chance. In return, he'll give you something truly special—a bond built on trust, loyalty, and the kind of love that only comes from a dog who chooses you right back. If you're looking for a calm companion, a gentle soul, and a best friend who will cherish you forever, Oso is waiting to meet you. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

He is incredibly friendly and sweet natured with everyone he meets. Great with kids and adults as well as other dogs. Unfortunately, he is not a candidate for homes with cats. He has not intentionally harmed a cat but he is too big and goofy and unintentionally hurt a cat recently. Thankfully, kitty is ok, but we don't want to take a chance on a feline friend getting hurt worse. Sonic is just a big silly puppy who doesn't know his size. He's about 60 lbs and will still fill out some more with maturity. He will be entering the Paws in Prison program on Monday, 6/22, where he will spend 8 weeks polishing up his manners and learning to be the best boy he can be. We would love to have a home ready for him when he graduates. He is located in Arkansas. He is available to adopters here in Arkansas, but also available to New England adopters with transport available. Adopter must be able to pick up or arrange for someone to pick up for them in PA, NJ, or CT on Saturdays. He is neutered, UTD on age appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and on flea/tick and heartworm prevention.  For more info or questions, email apps.aasr@gmail.com.
