Story
Meet Dustin, the brave little explorer of our Stranger Things group — minus the supernatural monsters, of course. This German Shepherd pup was found as a stray through MADACC, so his past is a bit of a mystery… but one thing is clear: this boy is ready to write a brand-new, much happier chapter. Just like his namesake, Dustin is smart, goofy, and endlessly lovable. He’s a classic GSD puppy through and through — eager to learn, quick to bond, and always up for an adventure. He’ll thrive with a family who understands the needs of a working-breed dog and can give him structure, guidance, and firm but fair boundaries as he grows. Dustin is playful, sweet, and gets along beautifully with other dogs. He’d also do well with respectful kiddos who can appreciate his energy and intelligence. With consistency and love, this boy is going to blossom into the kind of companion who’s loyal, devoted, and totally unforgettable. If you’re looking for your very own hero to bring home from the Upside Down, Dustin is ready to join your party. He just needs the right family to help him shine. *Dustin is available as a foster-to-adopt to a family within 30 min of Madison until his neuter is completed. All of our dogs are dewormed, spayed/neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and heartworm tested if they are old enough. If you're interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website at https://www.sftsrescue.org/adoptable-dogs

Story
Say hello to Max, our fiery-haired sweetheart from the Stranger Things crew — though unlike her namesake, this girl is all softness, no skateboard. Max came to us as a stray through MADACC, so we don’t know her past, but she’s ready to build a bright future with a family of her own. Max is a long-haired German Shepherd puppy with a gentle spirit. She’s a little shy when meeting new people, but give her a moment to warm up and she melts right into you. With some time to decompress and a bit of confidence building, she’s well on her way to becoming someone’s devoted shadow. She does wonderfully with other dogs and is great with kids. With proper, slow introductions, she’s also likely to do well with cats, making her a lovely fit for a variety of homes. Max is sweet, snuggly, and eager to find the humans who will help her come out of her shell. If you’re looking for a companion who will reward patience with unwavering loyalty, Max is your girl. *Max is available as a foster-to-adopt to a family within 30 min of Madison until her spay is completed. All of our dogs are dewormed, spayed/neutered, microchipped, up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, and heartworm tested if they are old enough.

🐾 Meet Pam— The Sweetest Companion You Could Ask For! 🐾Looking for a loyal, gentle soul to share your days with? Meet Pamela (Pam), a beautiful German Shepherd mix estimated to be around 8–10 years old. She’s the perfect blend of calm and affectionate, happiest when she’s by your side or relaxing nearby, keeping an eye on her favorite people. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs and is great with kids — patient, friendly, and always up for a bit of love. Pam is the kind of dog who quietly wins your heart with her loyal eyes and steady presence. She enjoys going for walks, trotting along to sniff the world around her, and has a funny streak when it comes to chasing squirrels (they keep her young at heart!). She did amazing at the groomer and loves a good pampering day.Because she still has that shepherd instinct to explore, she’ll do best in a home with a fenced yard or when kept on a leash during outdoor adventures. If you’re looking for a calm, loving, and loyal companion who will adore being part of your family, Pam is your girl. She’s ready to find her forever home — could that be with you? ❤️apply at wbdr.org

Story
Sasha is being fostered in PA. Sasha needs to be an only dog. She does not like active dogs Sasha can ONLY be adopted to a home with older children or all adults. Sasha is NOT good with cats. Sasha is spayed. Christmas time is here, soon a new year will dawn, and I’m still patiently waiting for my furever home and that special family to give me lots of love and belly rubs. I enjoy walks and will do OK without a fenced yard if you take me out on walking adventures. If you have a fenced yard I will run and play with you. I just enjoy the company of peeps. I don’t care to be with other dogs, just be by myself with my humans. I am a good girl in the house…unless you leave tasty morsels of food on the counter. Then I may just have to help myself! I know Sit, Down, am learning Wait, but I don’t really want to wait, hee hee. I also do pretty well on a leash. I’m still working on some other things like no jumping up on my peeps. I just want to greet and say Hi and give kisses and hugs to my peeps. BDRA has voted against the use of electrical fencing effective immediately.

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
