Story
Donnie and Marie arrived at Satchel’s Last Resort after being pulled from anim al services, carrying with them a past we can only guess was deeply painful. Their bodies told a story their voices couldn’t—both were emaciated, crawling with internal and external parasites, and suffering from severely neglected skin. It was clear they had endured far more than any dog should. But in the middle of all that hardship, Donnie and Marie shined. From the moment they came through our doors, their tails wagged with a quiet, hopeful joy. Their eyes, though tired, lit up every time someone knelt down to say hello. Despite the tremendous neglect they had experienced, both dogs greeted the world with sweetness, trust, and a contagious happiness that spread to everyone who met them. What’s even more remarkable is how much they adore other dogs and people. Their resilient spirits seem to remind us all that love can outgrow even the hardest beginnings. Donnie and Marie don’t dwell on what happened to them—they’re too busy embracing every soft bed, every gentle touch, and every new friend with open hearts. Today, they are safe, healing, and learning what it means to be cherished. And in return, they brighten our days with the kind of joy only the bravest souls can give. They have, obviously, endured a lot together. While they would be thrilled to remain a pair, we truly believe each would adapt well to a separate home if it meant finding the right match. What matters most is that they both get the chance they deserve—to be loved, protected, and valued. Donnie and Marie have so much affection to give, and each one would make a remarkable companion for a family ready to open their heart. They have recently completed treatment for heartworm disease. From a volunteer about Donnie: No words other than pure goodness, angel with a constant WAGGING tail, and 100% love comes from this amazing gentleman. His tail never stopped wagging . EVER He doesn't know a Stranger and has so much love ❤️ to give back despite his physical appearance from neglect and cruelty. He has an eye infection which we are currently medicating with the hopes full vision will return . He wants to make you smile instantly w his friendly personality .

Recent bloodwork shows they both have heartworm disease and they will soon be starting treatment. They have recently completed treatment for heartworm disease. From a volunteer: Grab a Kleenex and get ready y'all... Other words that describe petite Marie other than angel, pure love ❤️, sweet soul, beyond gentle natured and loving !!! I immediately wanted to cry BUT she kissed my sadness away . She's all tail wags, despite her physical scars, missing hair and neglect beyond my comprehension. As a volunteer who lives and breaths helping shelter dogs I commend satchels for saving Marie and her darling bonded half Donnie!!!

Story
⭐⭐⭐ EVANGELINE ⭐⭐⭐ Evangeline is a Miami-Dade Animal Shelter survivor who was once on the euthanasia list—and now she’s thriving and looking for her forever family 💕 When we rescued Evangeline, we thought she just had a cold and needed antibiotics 👍 Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case 😞 She was diagnosed with canine COVID and pneumonia and spent several weeks fighting for her life at Coral Springs Animal Hospital. After being released, Evangeline went to a foster home that didn’t work out, so she moved into home boarding where she was finally able to decompress, heal, and feel safe again 🙏 We then had her spayed, but complications arose when she began bleeding and clotting, which had us extremely worried once more 😢 But Evangeline is a fighter. Like the champ she is, she pushed through every obstacle—and came out stronger 💪 Today, she’s healthy, happy, and living proof of resilience 🥰 Just look at this chunky monkey getting excited for one of her favorite destinations… McDonald’s 😋😋😋 Evangeline is playful, joyful, and full of life! She’s a total foodie, so snacks, snuffle mats, enrichment toys, and food adventures are a MUST 😂 Evangeline is approximately 70 pounds and about 5 years old.

Story
This happy girl lives up to her name, a sassy personality indeed. Sassafras is an adult beauty, with a brilliant smile that brightens anyone's day. She is the life of the party and loves to be the center of attention. She can not wait to go outside and either go in the yards and sniff everything possible, or go on a brisk walk, leading the way. Sassy is protective of her space and loyal to her friends but will welcome new people into her circle with a slow introduction. She doesn't seem to mind the company of some canines, but we have found her to be selective and she would prefer to have the people all to herself. She adores toys and goes for the stuffed squeaky toys every time. She will chase balls to the point of exhaustion but her favorite past time is water play. When given the opportunity, she loves splashing in a wading pool, chasing the spray of a hose and swimming in the bay. She is very treat motivated, which is helpful in her learning of basic obedience. Curling up in a comfy bed or cuddled up with a friend is the best way to end her day. If you're looking for that missing piece of love in your life, Sassafras could be the perfect dose to fill your heart. For an appointment to meet Sassafras, please submit the adoption application (no commitment) found on our website, www.satchelslastresort.org, and an adoption counselor will be in touch.
