Story
OB 5-12-2019 Elias is a retired puppy mill worker, he was stuck in a cage for 5 years of his life from the time he was born. When he came he was so thin, his teeth were totally rotten and he couldn't eat. Well that was his old life, not his new life! Elias has been neutered, all teeth had to be removed, he was heartworm negative and is now on ProHeart6, up to date on all shots and has become a little on the porky side! Elias would love to have his own home now, something he never had hopes of is a reality for him now. Elias is crate trained, gets along with other little dogs, would love to be loved by someone who knew how special he is. Elias's adoption fee is 500.00, this transport fee is 165.00. Our transport is HEARTS LLC, the only one we use for our kids! The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an online adoption application. You can find a copy of that application here.

Once your application has been approved a volunteer with contact you to set up a phone interview.

Story
Age 3.5 yrs old Aprx. weight. #13 Dolly was rescued from a police raid involving a backyard breeder and severe neglect. Because of her past, she can be a little timid at first and will need time to adjust to a new environment. Dolly does best with a companion and would benefit from having another dog for confidence. She is cat tested and does well with cats. She gets along with other dogs of similar size. A patient, understanding home will help Dolly continue to gain confidence and thrive. Thank you for considering a dog in need! Please go to our website at www.satoheartrescue.org to download our application. The adoption fee is $500.00 which can be paid in cash or check. We look forward to working with you! PLEASE DO NOT send an INQUIRY THROUGH Adopt-A-Pet. Due to the volume of emails we receive, we will not be able to reply.
