Story
We rescued Rocky. We found him malnourished and all skin and bones. Since then we have been feeding him a good diet and we’re already seeing improvement. However, Rocky is not good with kids. He has not bitten but just looks I uncomfortable around him but that may just need time. Rocky is a little bit aggressive when it comes to food but that shouldny be a problem after some proper training due to the fact his previous owners didn’t feed him or take care of him right. He has an amazing character. Loves baths, doesn’t mind the groomer, and loves the snow!! I’m completely heartbroken to have to find him a good home. However my nieces and nephews come over on the regular and I don’t feel comfortable with him being around them. He has so much potential just needs someone to put that time in for him.

Story
Manny was born July 17, 2024. We adopted him the end of September 2024. He is a pure breed German Shepherd, current on all vaccines and currently still intact. Manny lives with 6 kids, two dogs and three cats. He believes he is a small dog I think, he was raised with two little dogs who still intimidate him even though they are a fraction of his size now. I believe he has fear aggression and lacks confidence. I am not an experienced dog trainer and with 6 kids I never will be. I cannot take him anywhere without a muzzle and we cannot have anyone to our home without locking him up. This brakes my heart. He is so kind, and goofy with us, but the minute he sees a stranger instant fear, retreat but also real aggression. He needs someone who can help him build confidence, teach him to not be afraid, that people just want to play with him. He is incredibly smart and still young so there is hope! If I had the time and the money I would do it, I just do not. Someone please help Manny.

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
