Story
I adopted Blue from a coworker only 2 months ago. My living situation is changing and I can't keep the little guy. He's very friendly and hardly ever barks. Everyone that meets him loves him. The Pit Doxxen mix makes him a very unique dog and I think he looks like he was created by a cartoonist. He's very strong and wants to meet everyone on walks. I use a choke collar and have him better trained to not pull so hard when we encounter others. He's never showed any signs of aggression. I'm sorry to lose him

Story
Shadow's story. Information provided by his foster parents. Two years ago, Don and Evelyn went to a shelter to meet a new possible foster dog. He was a handsome, brindle boy but he had no use for them at all. Didn't want anything to do with them. However, they decided they were ready to take on this challenge and give then Drax (the destroyer), now Shadow, a chance at life. Shadow jumped into the car fine and laid down in the backseat. Ten minutes into the car ride, Don and Evelyn were quite surprised when Shadow got up, went over to Don and kissed his ear and then went over to Evelyn and kissed her ear as if to say "I think you might be okay". However, they quickly discovered that although very smart dog and well trained, Shadow was very wary of strangers. When you reached out to Shadow, he appeared to think he was about to be hit, and developed a defensive system leading them to think that he was likely trained with the fear and punishment method. A short time after taking Shadow home, they reached out to Satchel's to take ownership of Shadow while he remained in their care. Fast forward 2 years, and thanks to the help of Satchel's, Jeff Joyce and his team, and events they attended with neighbors and friends, along with lots of love and patience, Shadow has become a wonderful, fun loving boy. Shadow has learned that strangers are not his enemy and that he can trust them, have lots of fun with them, and get loving, treats and petting back. Although still a little standoffish at first, he will take an hour or so to check you out, and then will warm right up and make you his good friend. Shadow, now 4 years old, is ready to find his forever home with a loving family who will give him a little time to adjust to a new home and feel safe. For an appointment to meet Shadow, please submit the adoption application (no commitment) and an adoption counselor will contact you.

Meet Brew! This beautiful boy is looking for a home where he can enjoy outdoor play, car rides, and time with special people in his life. If Brew could speak, here is what he would tell you about himself.... "I'm a bit on the shy side, but once I know you, I am your best friend for life. Loud noises and commotion scare me, so I'll need a calm quiet home. I know basic commands and am very treat motivated when learning new tasks. I have made new friends here at Satchels, two-legged and four-legged. I did live with cats in my prior home. I enjoy walks on my leash, although I might still pull if I spy a squirrel! My Woof Pack leader helps me adjust to new places and new routines. She says that she adores me!

Story
Sawyer is an energetic boy who recently spent time in a foster home and, we are told, had great house manners. He got along well with the dog in the home but wasn't happy about having a cat in his life. Sawyer enjoys his walks and playtime but is always ready to relax and cuddle on the couch. He loves meeting new people and playing with the children at our off-site adoption events. Sawyer would love an active family to match his energy level and keep him mentally stimulated. This is what a volunteer has to say about him: Sawyer aims to please. He’s exceptionally smart , great on walks, attentive and treat motivated. He will pose for photos and is super affectionate."

Story
All Tyson wants is love. He was surrendered to Satchels after his family could no longer care for him. Tyson is a gentle soul with a calm demeanor. He wants nothing more than to be with his people. He lived with young children in his prior home and adored them. He was initially a bit lost in the shelter environment. It took him a little longer to adapt and he searched for his family every time he went outside for the first couple of weeks. Now that he has finally settled in, he loves to go for walks with volunteers. He is a gentle and polite walker despite his large size. He can be a little timid of loud noises at times.

Story
Baby is in a temporary foster home and this is what her foster mom has to say about her: ” Baby is such a super sweet girl!! She is a lover and always so happy. She makes a funny grunting noise when she gets overly happy & excited, and that tail of hers wags like crazy! Things she loves: snuggling with her humans, belly rubs, playing fetch and tug of war, going for walks and smelling everything, getting sqeakers out of her stuffed toys, walking around with her ball in her mouth, playing and napping with Mochi (cat), going on the boat... Things she does not love: Other dogs and the beach, she didn't mind the sand but did not want to go near the water. A great home for Baby would have a yard she can run and play fetch in and probably best with no other dogs. ”

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.

Spayed or Neutered,
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.
