Story
Gus has been with our family for a little over a year now. Unfortunately I have become severely allergic to him and therefore we are unable to be his forever home. He loves to play fetch and chase, run outside and is a huge cuddle bug. He is house trained, crate trained and is working on leash training. He knows a few simple commands and is learning more every day as his confidence grows. We have also been working on his self confidence and socialization as he is pretty much a big scaredy cat. He has been living with a 14 year old and is amazing around her and her friends, however due to his skittishness, he will probably be best suited in a calmer household with no young children or other pets. He has a huge heart and wants nothing more than to hang out, cuddle and play with his people. Please reach out with any questions or for additional photos. We are very excited for you to meet this amazing dog!

Story
Look at that smile on Tonka's face! Tonka is such a happy girl and smiles whenever she sees someone she knows. She isn't fond of initially meeting new people so slow introductions are required but she warms up quickly and once you're in her circle of friends, you'll receive that smile every time she sees you. Her whole face lights up and her bum wiggle starts. You can't help but smile back at her. Tonka is 12 years old and has spent a great deal of those years at Satchel's. While she can be excitable, she wants nothing more than attention from those she loves. Tonka knows basic commands and walks well on the leash once her initial excitement over the prospect of going for a walk diminishes. She's looking for a quiet retirement home. A home with not a lot of "strangers" coming and going. A home welcoming that smile and her kisses every day. A home with someone to share all her love - she has so much to give. Please submit the adoption application (no commitment) found on our website, www.satchelslastresort.org, and make an appointment to meet this girl. It may take a couple of visits before she'll be ready to go home with you but she's so worth the time. She will win your heart with her giant ears and exuberant personality.

Story
Meet Kora: A Strong, Independent Diva Ready to Shine & Join You on Your Next Adventure! Kora is a confident and independent six-year-old Pittie mix with stunning brindle coloring and elegant white patches. She embodies the spirit of a strong woman by nature—self-assured, thoughtful, and loyal to those she trusts. Kora attended a board and train program, where she excelled in mastering all her commands with impressive focus and determination. Thanks to this training, she now walks beautifully on a leash, showing calm and control. Her leash manners have come a long way, reflecting her intelligence and willingness to learn. This girl absolutely adores tennis balls — playing fetch lights up her whole face with a joyful, contagious smile. Her athleticism and enthusiasm make her a perfect candidate for agility training, where she can channel her energy and sharp mind into fun, challenging activities. She might even be a good running partner, when it’s not too hot of course!!! After playtime, she also enjoys peaceful walks around the yard, often checking in to make sure her person is nearby. Kora is a good judge of character and chooses her friends wisely. She prefers one-on-one interactions over crowds or busy environments. However, once she knows she can trust you, she blossoms into a deeply loving and loyal companion who will stand by your side through thick and thin, even appreciating a nice scratch behind the ears! Kora prefers to be the only pet in the home, valuing her space and independence. If you’re looking for a devoted, intelligent, and strong-willed partner who will reward your patience and love with unwavering loyalty, Kora is waiting for you.

Story
Look at this handsome boy! Watson is a big boy who just wants to be a dog. He would do best in a home with low traffic where he can get to know and trust the people coming through his territory. Watson is strong-minded and needs a dog-savvy person. He likes to sit on your lap and is very affectionate but he doesn't care to be smothered in any way or have people in his face. He likes to play with ropes and chewy toys and sits like a perfect gentleman in the car. Watson goes on regular car ride adventures with his favorite volunteer at Satchel's and occasionally stops for lunch on a patio. He recently completed agility training at Satchel's and showed he knows how to listen for a treat. This boy is looking for someone to bond with who understands him. Is that you? He'll be your loyal companion for life if you're the one for him. Watson is guessed to be 10 years old and has spent the last several of those years at Satchel's. If you're looking to rescue a long time senior shelter resident, are a dog savvy individual, and able to provide a loving retirement home, please consider meeting Watson. For an appointment to meet him, submit the adoption application (no commitment) found on our website, www.satchelslastresort.org.

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.
