Story
Princess & Precious are an adorable pair of mother/daughter tiny Shih Tzu mixes. Precious the Mom is 10 and scruffy, and Princess the daughter is 9 and smooth-coated. They both have brown heart-shaped patches of fur on their sides. Both are quite friendly, snuggly and cuddly, and make excellent alarm clocks/burglar alarms. Both love to eat anything you give them. Both are friendly to other dogs, and people of all ages. No idea about their opinion of cats. They both sleep on my bed, either under the covers or wrapped up in a blanket on top. Both are potty trained. They came from an older person home that was moving to an assisted living facility and not able to take the dogs. Vet care was sadly lacking at their former home, and both dogs had to have several teeth removed. Princess (the smooth-coated daughter) has a dry left eye and will need drops for that for life. These are delightful cuties who want nothing more than to love and be loved forevermore. And of course well-fed. They are fully vetted, microchipped, spayed and dental done. Their adoption fee is $420 total for both dogs. To meet this little girls please go to our website - OFOSA.ORG and fill out the Dog Adoption Application and the foster mom will get back to you to meet them.

Story
Hi there! I’m Jag the Tag-Along Bestie, and I'm looking for my ultimate partner-in-crime! I’m 2 years old, a solid 20 pounds, and I come permanently glued to your hip. I am a total pro with other dogs of all sizes and I don’t mind cats at all! I’m also a fantastic co-pilot in the car and love going to work with my human. My former family kenneled me at night, but my foster mom lets me snooze in the big bed with the whole pack, and I promise I’m the best snuggler you'll ever meet. Watch me here: https://youtube.com/shorts/UaJz2Ka6Oak?feature=shared Now, full disclosure: I’m a slow warm up kind pf pup on first impression. If people come into my home (especially guys or anyone hiding behind a baseball hat), I play the big, loud guard dog. Bark, bark, bark! But here’s my secret hack: meet me outside! If you hand my leash to someone new on a walk and let them give me treats, I instantly chill out and walk right beside them. Once I know I’m safe and can trust you, I am ALL about the head scratches and doggy kisses. I don't care much for toys, I never mark in the house, and I'm super quiet as long as we keep the visitor count low. Ready for a velcro best friend? I'm ready to tag along! Adoption Application: https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/6aabe9173dc1ece45508569f Questions?

You will have the opportunity to track their journey in real time, see photo updates, learn fun facts, connect with fellow adopters and fosters through our private Facebook event page! Before the adoption is finalized, you will meet your pet through a video call, creating a fun and personalized experience! The adoption fee is $1600 and includes all vetting (DAPP with booster, Bordetella, Rabies vaccine, multiple broad spectrum deworming treatments, spay/neuter, flea prevention, a 12 month heartworm preventative injectable, heartworm test and treatment if needed, a microchip with free lifetime registration, a high quality nylon Martingale collar, a health certificate deeming the pup healthy for travel, cost of transport*, and priceless years of love and loyal companionship! We proudly have over 17,000 successful adoptions and excellent Google Reviews: https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success, and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process. At our 2 acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog’s growth and we enjoy seeing their progress! We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap—ranging from $100–$1,000+ per dog. Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet. It doesn’t stop there!

Story
Cardamom has already proven she will do anything for the ones she loves. Before coming to rescue, Cardamom was kept outside year-round. During the bitter cold of winter, she gave birth to and raised three puppies outdoors. Somehow, thanks to her incredible devotion and survival instinct, all three puppies made it through. By the time she arrived here, every hair on her body was matted. Her coat was one solid tangle, so she had to be completely shaved to give her a fresh start. Her hair is still short right now, but it will grow back beautifully. At around 3 years old, Cardamom is a sweet Shih Tzu who gets along wonderfully with other dogs and cats. She has left her difficult past behind and is ready to enjoy the comfortable life she always deserved. After spending her life taking care of everyone else, it's finally Cardamom's turn to be the one who is loved and cared for. Good fit: someone looking for a sweet, gentle companion who gets along well with other pets and deserves a lifetime of comfort. 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: $550 (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 Think you might be a good fit?

Story
Oreo is 4 years old and weighs about 14lbs. He is so playful and loves his human immensely. He likes to hug with his arms! It is so cute. He crates well and rides well in the car. He is housetrained with a doggy door. Oreo is just a dear little guy who wants a quiet home, not too busy. No kiddos for Oreo. He gets scared too easily and little children would make him scared. He would love to be your little lap dog. Oreo has resource guarding issues so only an experienced pet owner or a home as an only pet would be appropriate. Oreo needs a home with a fully fenced yard and someone active enough to play with him and keep him exercised. Please email stmartinsanimalrescue@hotmail.com for an application.

Story
Walter may be a little shy and unsure at first, but give him some patience, love, and reassurance, and you’ll get to see his sweet personality blossom. Once he knows he’s safe, this little guy is happiest curled up beside his person, enjoying a cozy nap and simply being close to someone he loves. Walter is kennel trained and does well with other dogs, cats, and kids. He’s a gentle little guy who doesn’t ask for much—just a safe place to land and someone who will love him unconditionally. Just look at that sweet face… you can almost see him hoping that his person is out there. Walter deserves a family who will give him the time and love he needs to feel safe, and in return, he’ll give them his whole heart. Local adoption fee together is $400 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee together is $700 (includes transport to your area)
