Story
To adopt please fill out an adoption application. Be sure to watch her video!  Alsa is a 2yo female purebred German Shepherd Dog being surrendered by her elderly owner in Memphis. Friendly, well-socialized, typical GSD loyal, loving temperament. Obedience trained and also understands hand signals.  Very high energy outside, goes to the dog park several times a week, accustomed to a long walk each day. Good house manners, quiet and well-behaved inside.  Fine with other dogs, not cat tested.  Alsa has spent lots of time with the grandkids and she’s fine with the older ones but too active for the toddler. Housebroken and crate trained. Affectionate with her people and loves to cuddle. Good on the leash, rides great in the car. Weighs about 70 pounds. Alsa’s owner has had her since she was 8 weeks old, he loves her dearly and is heartbroken about giving her up. However, he has developed health issues that prevent him from caring for Alsa any longer. Healthy, spayed and fully vetted. AWESOME young GSD will make a wonderful companion (and jogging partner!) for an active family that loves the breed.

Story
Polaris is a young girl who was found dumped on the side of the road with a bag of dog food dumped on the ground as her only help for survival. A good samaritan picked her up and contacted me. Help Polaris never face that kind of treatment again by giving her a forever home. She is very sweet and friendly and great with other dogs and people and kids. She definitely has a prey drive though, which is not at all unusual for dogs, so no kitties or small animals. She walks well on the leash and does well in a crate. She is currently still in Oklahoma where she was rescued but she can only be adopted out of state where people treat animals well. She has to be prepaid and picked up directly from transport at one of our transport drop off locations below. If things don't work out for some reason, which rarely ever happens, we will either find a local foster to take her in or she will go back to Oklahoma on our next transport until a new home is found. Note: No dogs are advertised as potty-trained because most dogs need at least some re-training in a new environment and after being in a shelter/rescue environment/strays. www.facebook.com/desideratarescue (copy and paste into a new browser window) Transport locations: - Washington State (Kennewick, Spokane, Tumwater, Tacoma, Tukwila, Lynnwood/Edmonds, Bellingham) - Oregon (Portland and Springfield) - Colorado (Ft Lupton) - Idaho (Heyburn and Boise/Meridian) - Utah (Ogden) - Wyoming (Evanston, Rock Springs, Laramie) - Montana (Missoula) - Illinois (Vandalia, Springfield, Chicago) - Indiana (Spiceland, Burn Harbor) - Michigan (St Joseph, Battle Creek, Ann Arbor) - Wisconsin (Madison, Wausau, Eau Claire, Appleton, Milwaukee) - Minnesota (Minneapolis/St Paul) - Iowa (Des Moines) - Ohio (Columbus and London) - Pennsylvania (Erie, Pittsburgh and Harrisburg) - New York (Buffalo and Albany) - Connecticut (Enfield) - New Jersey (Bedminster) - Nevada (Las Vegas) - Arizona (Flagstaff) Vetting: spayed, microchipped, rabies vaccine, bordetella vaccine, dhpp vaccine x 3, lepto vaccine x 2, dewormed several times, on monthly flea and tick prevention, on monthly heartworm protection, heartworm tested (negative) Adoption fee: $550 (includes the $250 cost of transport from Oklahoma and all vetting listed above) Adoption application (copy and paste into a new browser window): https://form.jotform.com/82677586784176 FAQs (copy and paste into a new browser window): https://docs.google.com/document/d/12eb_SRtk1AzaBl87UltcLJ24MjH9UhQm_LE77iWZEQA/edit?tab=t.0 Desiderata Rescue is Oklahoma Licensed Rescue #95

Story
To adopt please fill out an adoption application. Woody is a 1 yo male German shepherd mix dog who was rescued as a stray in Memphis.  Friendly, sweet temperament, a little tentative at first with new people and situations, typical shepherd temperament. Woody is selective about his dog friends and would probably enjoy being the only dog.  He’s friendly and non-aggressive with the cats on the other side of the fence.  Fine with kids and recommended for dog savvy children 10 years and older. Medium energy level outside, quiet and well-mannered in the house.  Crate trained and housebroken. Obeys basic commands.  Loves to be with his people.  Good on a leash, rides great in the car.  When he first came to us, Woody had heartworms, but he was treated without complications and cured and is now ready for adoption. Healthy and fully vetted, current on shots, neutered, weighs about 45 pounds.  AWESOME young GSD mix will make a wonderful companion (and jogging partner!)  for an active family who loves the breed. .

Story
Pippi is a 7-year-old, 90-lb black dog (DNA: half German Shepherd, quarter Pit Bull, quarter Lab). She’s healthy, up to date on shots and vet care, and fully house and crate trained. Her owner of four years has cancer and can’t care for her long term. At home she’s obedient, snuggly, and loyal. She knows come, sit, stay, heel, and down, and listens to her sitter too. She’s high energy but burns it off with a good romp in the yard, then settles in to cuddle. What she needs: a home where she is the only dog, ideally rural or secluded. She’s very leash reactive with her person, but plays fine with big dogs at daycare. No cats or small animals (high prey drive). Not for young kids, since she’s too big. She barks hard at delivery people but has never been aggressive toward anyone entering the home. Her owner is happy to share more about her temperament and best placement.

Story
🐾💕 FOSTER NEEDED 💕🐾 Meet Roxy, an adorable 7-month-old puppy who is looking for a foster home while her court case continues. ❤️ Roxy is one of the dogs from the cruelty case we recently assisted with. Because the case is still making its way through the court system, she is not currently available for adoption. We are looking for a foster home with the potential to adopt once the court awards us legal custody. Roxy is every bit as sweet as she looks! She loves people, enjoys other dogs, and is always ready to play. 🐶🎾 Toys are definitely one of her favorite things, and being just 7 months old, she has plenty of playful puppy energy and love to share. She is at such a wonderful age to settle into a home, learn what being part of a family is all about, and finally get the chance to just be a puppy. 🏡💗 Roxy is currently in boarding, and while she is being well cared for, boarding is no substitute for a home. After everything she has already been through at such a young age, we would love to see her spending this time in a loving foster home instead of a kennel. 🐾 Roxy • 7 months old • Female • Dog friendly • Loves people • Playful and loves toys • Currently in boarding • Looking for a foster with the potential to adopt once legal custody is awarded Hickman Humane Society will continue to provide for Roxy while she is in foster care. If you can open your home to this sweet girl while we wait for the court process to be completed, please reach out to us. ❤️ Please share and help us get Roxy out of boarding and into a home! 🐾💕

Story
Luna Needs a Special Foster Home ❤️ Luna came to us as part of a cruelty case that is still making its way through the court system. After everything she has been through, what she needs now is a patient, experienced foster who can help her feel safe and learn how to be a family dog again. Luna will need a foster home with someone that is experienced with working breeds. Luna listens well and loves to go on hikes and play in any bodies of water she can find! She has met other dogs and has done well but we require a meet and greet to make sure it’s a good fit. There is such a sweet side to this girl. ❤️ Luna absolutely loves her stuffed animals and balls and carries them around with her almost like a security blanket. She is crate trained and housebroken, giving her a great foundation to build on. Luna will do best in a home where she will be exercised and not stuck alone all day. She has already lost so much. Now she just needs someone willing to give her the chance to find herself again. 🐾❤️
