Story
Meet Alexander! Alexander is around 4 years old and came to us when his owner could no longer care for him. Alexander is a friendly, affectionate boy with a winning personality. He loves people and has a wonderful way of making everyone around him feel adored. He gets along well with other dogs and happily greets both dogs and people on his walks. He has not yet been tested with cats. Alexander does not do well with children and is not suitable for a home with kids under 12.  Alexander has a lovely balance of energy and companionship. He enjoys walks and playing in the yard, but he is equally happy curled up at his foster mom’s feet while she works from home. His favorite pastime may be gazing lovingly at her throughout the day. He has bonded beautifully with everyone in his foster home and loves being included in family life—including car rides, parks, youth sporting events, group activities/gatherings, and outdoor restaurants. He is also making great progress learning to be comfortable on his own. Alexander will go willingly into his crate with a treat and has successfully stayed home for 3+ hours. He may bark intermittently while his family is away, but he can settle himself and rest, and he comes out of his crate calm when they return. Alexander can be vocal at times, so he would not be a good fit for apartment living or a home where barking could be an issue. That said, his barking has improved tremendously as he has settled into foster care, and he is increasingly responsive to gentle correction. With consistency and time, we expect that progress to continue. Alexander was still working on potty training when he arrived in foster care, but he is coming along beautifully with a consistent routine. Regular trips outside—either into the yard or for a quick walk—have made a big difference, and his foster family is learning his cues and helping him succeed. More than anything, Alexander is a loving, social dog who wants to be part of his people’s lives. He has made wonderful progress in foster care and will thrive with a home that can give him affection, consistency, exercise, and a little patience as he continues to settle into his new life. Alexander is vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped. He is scheduled for a full dental cleaning in September. His adoption fee is $450.   We cover the medical to prepare the pet for adoption and the adopt donations go directly to cover those costs and range from $295-$495.  Thank you for stepping up to save a life! To expedite to meet with this dog, please go to our site at www.savinggreatanimals.org and fill out an application. We look at the first applications to arrive, so we hope to hear from you soon!

Story
Fixin and his brother Rusher are somewhat of a unit: They play together, nap together, and spend basically every waking moment as a two-dog team. He's sweet and playful, has recently discovered he enjoys cuddling and belly rubs (a development his foster seems very pleased about), loves being brushed, and is food-motivated enough that leash training is going well with the right treats. He's good with other dogs and kids, and is just a sweet, easygoing puppy who happens to come with a very attached sibling. -----

A Quick but Important Note to All Adopters:
Please remember that none of our dogs arrive fully trained. Most come from tough or uncertain beginnings and may have never lived in a home or known basic routines. That means:

✧ They are not potty trained on arrival. Most dogs regress in potty training when moving to a new environment.

✧ They may lack basic manners (like leash walking or appropriate chewing).

✧ They’re learning, growing, and doing their best—but they will need patience, structure, and compassion to succeed.

The majority of these pups have lived in the confinement of a cage or kennel run for most - if not all - of their lives. Because of this, we strongly discourage the use of crates for anything other than vehicle transport. They deserve the chance to decompress and learn what true freedom and comfort feel like.

Our amazing foster homes work hard to start these dogs on the right path, but they are rescues, not finished products. These dogs need time, consistency, and a loving home willing to meet them where they are.

Also, breed designations are our best guesses based on appearance and behavior. We can't guarantee breed, size, adult weight, or coat type.

Story
Rusher is Fixin's brother, his best friend, and the one with the bigger appetite of the two. He is heavier than Fixin. He is not apologetic about this, nor should he be. He's playful, food-motivated, and doing well with leash training when Fixin is training alongside him. Solo? He gets a little nervous and uncertain. He whines when Fixin is outside getting bathed while he's stuck in the pen. He is, in the most endearing way possible, deeply committed to his brother. He's great with kids and other dogs and is a sweet, enthusiastic puppy who would do best in a home that either takes both brothers or has another calm dog to help him build some independent confidence. -----

Story
Franklin is a sweet boy with a big personality packed into his tiny 6.8lb frame while he may be a little timid at first, this adorable little guy is quickly coming out of his shell! He loves being near his humans, is curious about everything, and is surprisingly quick! Frankliis already making great progress in his fosters home. He’s new to walking on a leash but after just his second walk, he’s practically a pro. One of Franklin’s most enduring qualities is his adorable little grunts when he’s excited. He’s also an expert cuddler! Good with children & other dogs! -----
