Story
Hi I'm Cheerio! I have been in rescue for a long time and I don't understand why. I'm the happiest and sweetest girl just looking for an active forever home. I love going for walks and hikes! I am a MAJOR water dog and love to lounge in the kiddie pool! I'm potty trained and crate trained and my foster mom says I'm super smart and food motivated so I would do well learning new commands and even tricks! I get along with other dogs of all sizes and love to play chase. I even get along with humans of all sizes but I might get a little too excited for the extra small ones. I'm working on learning not to jump but sometimes I can't help myself because I'm so happy! I just need regular exercise and mental stimulation to get my energy out and then I can settle down inside. Cheerio is a 3 year old Lab/Pit mix and weighs about 50lbs. She is available for adoption with Saving Grace Dog Rescue of San Antonio. The adoption fee is $195.00 local or $395.00 out of state with transport. An adoption application, home visit and adoption contract are all required. All dogs are spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations appropriate for their age, microchipped, and wormed for internal and external parasites. If you would like more information, please email us at sgdrsa@outlook.com. Please note that visual breed identification in rescue dogs is unreliable so for most of our dogs we are only GUESSING at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.

Big, big love! Sweet and adorable Trixie may be small in stature, but she's big on affection. She's sure to great you with a wiggle and likes being close to her people. Trixie knows her sit command, loves to work for a treat and enjoys working on a snuffle mat. She would benefit from continuing to work on her training. Trixie likes long walks and playing with stuffed toys. She's more than content to cuddle up with you at the end of a long day and watch a good movie. She is looking to be a solo dog and will make a family a loving and loyal one and only. Trixie is sure to bring lots of joy and laughter to a doting family. I am available for adoption from my foster home! To learn more about meeting me, email adoptions@alexandriaanimals.org or call 703.746.4774, option 2.

Medium energy gal but totally up to go on hikes and adventures if that’s your thing.  LOVES her daily training sessions and games to keep her skills sharp! Perfect balance of independent and affectionate - entertains herself with her stuffies or puzzles, but will also be your shadow or cuddle up next to you  Has done well at events and would love to eventually join her family at an open winery or brewery Nosy neighbor - LOVES to look out the window and judge everyone.. err watch the world go by Would love to be a DINK (dual income, no kids) dog or a SINK (single income, no kids) dog- she may be small, but her BIG personality will fill your home with laughter and love!   Interested?

Bea Tired of swiping right and pretending to like going on hikes? If so, Bea is your girl!  This beautiful, affectionate girl is a bit of a homebody (we can relate!) and would prefer snoozing on the couch and zooming around the yard, then going on grand adventures.  About Bea:   Spayed, Female about 1 years old Petite, 48 pounds (don't let her big head fool you) Crate trained LOVES affection  Very Wiggily  Knows basic commands Loves watching TV    Ideal day: Wake up, breakfast, quick little walk and zoom outside in the yard. 1st nap. Playtime. 2nd nap. 3rd nap. House zoomies and watch you pick up her toy fluff. Couch cuddles.. movie night? Reality TV? Sports? (Doesn’t matter, any TV will do) Bedtime.   Ideal family: SINK (single income no kids) or DINKS (double income no kids)- Bea loves kids, but a quieter home would be best.  Someone who has no problem sharing the couch- Bea loves the couch. She might part . Has a yard or a quiet neighborhood.  Someone with a hybrid work schedule - Bea is can be crated by herself upwards of 5 hours.  Someone who doesn’t mind not having an adventure buddy- Bea doesn’t mind sitting things out as long as you come back to cuddle her (and maybe bring her a snack!) She’ll greet you with 10000 kisses and full body wags.    Don’t think you fit all her “qualifications?” That’s ok, please still apply!

**This is a courtesy post for a local rehoming. Any applications received will be forwarded to the current owners who are looking to rehome the dog. The current owners will reach out to the applicants directly. RDR is not involved in the rehoming process. Onyx is currently located in Baltimore MD.**Hi I'm Onyx! I'm a big dog full of love and youth. If you're seeking a loyal companion who is always up for an adventure I'm the dog for you. I'm full of energy and ready to be a part of your family!I love people and other dogs but due to my size would do best in a home without younger children or small dogs. I have basic training: I walk well on a leash and I'm crate trained. I'm fully vaccinated neutered and healthy other than a paw condition called pododermatitis: my paws can become a little inflamed and are treated with wipes or foam twice a day. But that doesn't stop me!I'm ready to bring joy and laughter to you and you're family. I can't wait to share all the love I've got to give!

To learn more about Lila, please get in touch with henryfungchang@gmail.com. Meet your next best friend, Lila! Lila is a loving, cuddly dog that loves any and all human interaction! She loves to play, and will engage in any games you want to play! While she can be energetic, her favorite activity is just to chill and relax. She especially enjoys blankets, sofas, and beds! Her favorite spot is in the corner of the bed, leaving you plenty of room, how perfect! Lila has done very well in her foster home, being very polite, doing all her business outside, and just being a joy to have around! She is house-trained, crate-trained, and knows lots of tricks! Her manners are on point, and she has responded well to her name. In addition to her name, she also seems to know "sit", "down", "shake", and "stay". She has done very well in vehicles in the past, and seems to enjoy the ride! She has slowly warmed up to living with a cat in a foster home, so slow introductions will be necessary for her. She has done well in the past with some dogs but can be leash-reactive, so a household with dog experience, patience, and the ability to handle Lila's size and energy would be best for her.

If you are interested in Aster Lee please contact camille.level@lostdogrescue.org and laurenkim90@gmail.com Meet Aster Lee! A girl with a big smile and an even bigger heart. Aster is a sweetheart who has been stealing the hearts of all the people she meets. Her love and excitement for life are contagious. She always brightens up the day of her human friends with her joyful and enthusiastic personality! Aster is extremely loyal and loves being close to her people. She shows her affection by leaning into you and giving you a huge smile. It's nearly impossible not to smile back! She is adventurous and enjoys hiking and going on walks, but equally enjoys cuddling on the couch. She enjoys playing with rope toys and having the zoomies in the yard, but her favorite activity is playing in the water. Whether it's the beach, a creek, or a doggy pool, Aster is the first one to dive right in! From her time in homes on Dogventures, Aster Lee is reported to be fully house trained, is a lovely houseguest, and will even go to the door to let you know she has to go outside. She's a smart girl who knows a few basic commands, like sit, paw, down, place, stay, and she is always eager to learn more! Aster also loves other dogs. One of her favorite times of the day is when she gets to see her dog friends during the daily playgroup sessions she enjoys in the yard of the rescue care center. She's a social butterfly and makes friends with every dog she meets! Aster Lee is seeking an experienced and loving family. She is very excited to find the forever family that she can shower with love!

To learn more about Harry, please get in touch with Kristin.calkins@lostdogrescue.org. Harry will be attending one of our adoption events coming up this weekend! To learn more about our upcoming events and to see which event they will be attending, please visit our event page at https://www.lostdogrescue.org/events/ (*please note that the specific event pages are typically updated on Fridays with information on which dogs will be attending which events*) He's not the wizard Harry, he's not Prince Harry, he's the doggo Harry! Meet Harry, the sweetest, goofiest, and most lovable boy! Harry is looking for an active forever home where he can live like a prince! Harry loves walks and has done very well on a leash, stopping for intervals, and sticking with you. Although Harry will need lots of exercise, he has had a soft, cuddly side to him that will just melt your heart. He loves burying his head into you, showing you his version of a hug, with all the love and affection you could ask for! Be prepared for him to show you he's a lap dog. Harry's favorite game is fetch, but he is not all too picky with his toys, he loves them all! The games you play, he will surely participate. His zest for life can overwhelm small children, so a home with kids 12+ would be best for Harry. He does well with dogs, and has thoroughly enjoyed playgroup at the rescue center! Harry has done well with house manners and has been crate trained, though he wouldn't mind a refresher! He is a star when it comes to basic training, knowing to "sit" like a master! His deep food motivation makes him a lovely dog to do tricks with. Harry is a bit too curious about cats, so a feline-free home would be best for this great young man. His goofy eyes, Jack-Russel-like coloring, mixed with his sweet personality and good manners make him your next companion! Come meet him at one of our events, he would love to say hi!
