(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Kuma has survived more than most dogs ever should. After his owner passed away, he was trapped in a backyard with two other dogs, with no one to feed or care for them. When animal services were finally alerted, one dog had escaped. Kuma and the other were so severely emaciated, they were labeled as decaying bodies. Part of Kuma’s tail was rotting—but his spirit was still hanging on. Kuma has blossomed into a wonderful dog. He’s good with kids of all ages and good with dogs big and small. He may not be the brightest bulb, but he makes it up with his charm. This boy has so much love to give and wants to make up all the time he’s lost to play! Kuma is working on his manners and is learning quickly in his foster home. He is crate trained and would be the perfect dog for a kid home!

We have had Jin since he was 5 weeks old in a litter of puppies. Birthday 9/28/2018. He grew up in a household with experienced dog owners and 3 children. House trained. Tempered and well mannered. A pure joy and love to be around. We are trying to find a new home for our love because of a new baby. Not getting along with the new baby. And therefore, breaking our hearts truly to part ways. Looking for a loving and caring dog owners who will love him and give him the attention he needs. Preferably a home with no small children under the age of 3. He is an attention seeker and loves affection and head rubs. Very happy and enthusiastic. But, very chill.

Story
Selina was born on 9/3/23. She's a very playful pup. She loves her chew toys and mostly knows what toys are hers. She will sometimes relocate shoes but she doesn't chew on them. She is crate trained. She doesn't have accidents when she's out overnight or when she's in her crate. Sometimes small kids can be afraid of her puppy energy, but she is not mean at all. I just need to rehome her because of a recent divorce and limited time to take care of her.

Story
Randy loves his walks and will play tug of war with you. He will fetch and bring back. He plays rough with other dogs and has jealousy tendencies so being an only dog is preferred. He gets territorial of his environment so a secured fenced in yard is a must for him to relax in his yard and soak up some rays.

Story
Bruno was a stray in the Miami area, wandering the streets, hoping someone would notice him. He was dumped to fend for himself when a good Samaritan took him off the streets to safety and Fairytail Endings Rescue brought him into their facility. He's about 7 years old, very mellow, house trained, great on the leash, likes car rides and will just chill on the couch with you. He loves his human companions and would make a great addition to the household.

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Allman is the definition of a Boxer, from his looks to his personality traits! This 8-year-old boy is always looking for opportunity to play, and loves making everything a game. He is a great ball player and may not always bring it back, but his enthusiasm keeps the game going. He enjoys carrying toys around wherever he goes, squeaky toys are super fun, but Kong toys are also wonderful. He also has a prankster side with shoes and likes to untie your laces when you are walking. He is loyal to his friends here at Satchel's but can be a bit picky. He takes a little time to get to know people and, although he is high energy, he prefers a calm first-time meeting. Allman has a Woof Pack leader here at Satchel's and they are working on his acceptance of new people. Once accepted, Allman is a loving, playful, intelligent boy who can't wait to be with you. He walks very well on a leash and loves going on adventures. He knows his basic commands and with treats, he can do them with a swiftness. Allman would be the perfect canine companion for someone who loves being active or has a love for and understanding of the Boxer breed. He would do well with a fenced in yard, or multiple walks to get some of the energy down. For an appointment to meet Allman, please submit the adoption application (no-commitment) found on our website, www.satchelslastresort.org, and an adoption counselor will be in touch.

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.

Story
Looking like a hairless wonder, is our boy Brodie. While his looks may not do him justice, this little guy has a heart of gold. Coming from a pretty poor background, it has taken some time to get this pup used to being just that, a dog again. Brodie was terrified of water, avoiding anything other than his water bowl. His skin was in desperate need of healing, and medicated baths were a top priority. With the help of staff and volunteers, his skin is looking so much better, even if his hair has not come back. He was also not very social, and did not understand what we were doing in just an attempt to pet him. He is now showing affection with those he trusts, looking forward to those butt scratches and head pets that he feared in the beginning. Brodie goes home most weekends with his Woof Pack leader, Violet, and her husband Marc. There are several other dogs in the home and Brodie has been slowly introduced to them all making every weekend a fun and social time for Brodie. This is what they have to say about Brodie: "Brodie came to us in preparation for hurricane Milton. He joined us and our 4 adult dogs. Frightened and out of his element, his first instinct was to lick my face. Yes, he looks like a prizefighter, but has the temperament of a lap dog. His tail wags constantly. Brodie had a horrific start in life, being left outdoors until his skin was terribly burned. As I understand it, he had almost no hair on his body and suffered constant pain. Brodie has vacationed with us every weekend since. Violet gives him medicated baths and his coat is slowly recovering. He has never shown anger or aggression. Only licks and tail wags. We have gradually introduced him to two of our dogs and they immediately became friends. What is clear, is that Brodie loves people and other dogs. He loves running in the yard with the other dogs, taking long walks around the neighborhood, and spending quiet time on the rug. I believe he will quickly become a loving member and protector of some lucky family. " If you are interested in meeting Brodie, please submit the adoption application (no commitment) found at satchelslastresort.org and an adoption counselor will contact you.
