Story
I have two dogs that are brothers. They are a year old from the same litter. They were born December 24. Their first set of shots were from a vet. The subsequent shops I bought from tractor supply. They are good playful dogs that look scary but they are big babies. They think they’re lap dogs. I have to drive an hour and a half away to work every day and they are not receiving the love and care they’re used to. they need a family with children or someone who can give them the attention they deserve they’re playful. They’re big and they love to run. There is no charge they are free. I just don’t want anyone that’s going to fight them or treat them with harm.

This laid-back pup may look like he'd rather be left alone, but don't be fooled - Eeyore enjoys the company of people, in his own special way. He's a master of two things: eating (he's a foodie at heart!) and napping (he's got the perfect technique). Eeyore's a bit aloof, but that's just part of his charm. He's a gentle soul who'll appreciate a patient and loving home. No adopters yet? No worries, Eeyore's happy to wait for the perfect match. Currently, Eeyore's focusing on his health and getting ready for a forever home. He's scheduled for neuter and dental - once he's healed up, he'll be ready to find his people!

She is very good on a leash and knows the sit and heel commands. Zoe and Rusty seem to be heavily bonded. They are both super sweet dogs. Zoe is more laid back, and Rusty is a typical lab - very playful!! Zoe and Rusty are in Mississippi, and the adoption fee includes transportation to you.

Story
Meet Bojangles! This loving bully mix is just five months old and already the happy go lucky kind of dog that people dream of having. While adventuring and floating on the river are his favorite activities so far, this fella is also down for playing with other dogs. Despite his adventurous nature, Bojangles will also settle well in a crate and is totally up for snuggling with his person. If this sounds like the pup for you, please complete an application at https://www.saveastray.org/forms/form?formid=3635 Once the application is approved, a FaceTime will be set up for a virtual meet and greet. Since we are located in Mobile, AL, this will give you the opportunity to see the pet interact with other dogs, people, and see a bit of their personality. Transports leave every week alternating between the NE and the Great Lakes. We use the most animal-friendly transport on the road. Rescue Riders Pet Transport. Thank you for your interest in a Save a Stray pet.

Story
My name is Shari! I'm the cutest little meatball. I am 40 lbs and around 9 months old. I do not look big - seriously! I am dense and compact and as of now, I seem pretty well filled out. I don't think I will get much bigger. I am a bit of a low rider. My foster mom also says she has no idea what I am. When I hear her talk she says I am probably a combo of a number of things including Bulldog, Pug, Heeler, Terrier. I am the funniest dog and I constantly entertain my people and dog friends (even when I am sleeping). I am doing really well on the housebreaking front. I'm crate-trained although yes, I would prefer to be next to my people most of the time. Honestly, I am not sure I will need the crate for long as I don't get into much that I shouldn't! I am great with dogs and just fine with cats. I have been around kids over 8 and I enjoy them. I love to snuggle. That could b my favorite thing to do! I also entertain myself well and I play with all my toys. I take them all out of the toy basket - I have not mastered putting them back in. I could be an only dog but I could also live with a dog friend or two. I can run and play with the best of them or just lounge with the lazy ones. I am a bit hesitant around new visitors but after a treat or two, I warm up just fine. I have just started my socialization journey so the more people exposure and positive experiences I have, the better at this I will get. I am a joy to have around and I hop like a bunny when I get playful. All four paws off the ground! My foster family calls me Miss Piggy because... sometimes I get a curly tail and well... I snore. Here is a link to the application if you are interested in me! https://www.zivadogrescue.org/adoptable-dogs
