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
Lucy-5-year-old-female-spayed Meet Lucy! She`s fun-loving dog with a sweet and adorable personality. She’s small in height but a sturdy 40 pounds. Lucy has been at the shelter since October 2024 and has undergone ectopic ureter surgery and recovery. Despite the dedicated care from her team, she’s in renal failure due to a complex case, but she’s still living her best life. She still has some urine dribbling but it`s better than it was before her surgery. Her latest blood work showed her kidneys are holding steady, and her special diet is helping. We’re looking for a foster or adopter for this happy-go-lucky girl who loves car rides, playing, and spending time with people. Lucy gets along with most male dogs but isn’t cat friendly. She’s very social, affectionate, and currently on a k/d prescription diet. Her adoption fee is waived for an approved adopter. To adopt, visit www.cchswi.org, or for fostering info, contact Susan at prodogtrainer@aol.com. Help Lucy enjoy life beyond the shelter walls! DATCP License #266742-DS

Story
Topper is the kind of dog who brings a sense of calm into your home. He’s quiet, gentle, and incredibly easy to live with—the type of dog who just wants to be close, cuddle up, and be your steady companion. He didn’t have the easiest start—but you’d never know it. Topper is one of the sweetest, most submissive dogs you’ll meet. He doesn’t bark, isn’t hyper, and has a naturally peaceful presence. He’s great with other dogs—even when they’re pushy—and never responds with aggression. He’s also living with cats and kittens and does beautifully with them. Topper is the kind of dog who lowers the stress level in a home. He doesn’t demand, doesn’t create chaos—he just quietly fits in and makes life feel easier. Good fit: someone looking for a calm, affectionate, low-maintenance dog who wants a true companion. Adoption process: All adoptions are completed prior to transport. Dogs are picked up at designated transport locations. If an adoption doesn’t work out (rare, but life happens), we always take our dogs back. Location: Oklahoma (available to approved out-of-state adopters via transport) Health: Fully vetted (neutered/spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm tested) Adoption fee: $500 (includes transport + vetting) Bonus: Each adoption includes a 30-minute phone consultation with a professional trainer Transport routes: WA, OR, ID, MT, UT, WY, CO, MN, WI, IA, IL, IN, OH, PA, MD, NY, NJ, VT Think you might be a good fit?
