Story
Valhalla is an approximately 3–year-old Staffordshire Terrier mix girl that we thought had found her forever home, but unfortunately has made her way back to us after showing that she would be much better suited to life in an only-dog home. Valhalla is a sweet little goof ball with so much personality! She loves to play with her family, and keeps everyone laughing as she appeases everyone’s need for pets and snuggles. She’s definitely people and attention driven, as she is the biggest people pleaser you will ever meet! Valhalla does need to be the only pet in the home. She has shown that her prey drive is too great to be around little dogs or cats, and she is a bit too jealous of even bigger dogs in her space. She is potty trained and crate trained, but does need a secure fenced in yard in her forever home. Unfortunately, we do not have any open foster homes for Valhalla to come back to, so she is having to make her way track to boarding until a foster or adopter can be found. This can be quite challenging, as only-animal homes are very hard to come by. However, we promise if you take a chance on this girl, she will repay the love ten-fold! If you can open your home to foster this girl, you can apply to foster through the link in our bio! Fostering is FREE, as we take care of all food, vetting, crate, collars, leashes, etc. you could need! You just provide the love and the occasional ride to adoption events. If you think this sweet girl would fit in your forever family, you can apply to adopt at www.lexpitcrew.org/adopt Her adoption fee is fully sponsored!

Story
Anya is a 2-year-old, 45 lb Bully-Boston Terrier mix with the sweetest soul and the perfect mix of playful energy and gentle affection. She came from the streets of Kentucky, ending up in an overcrowded shelter before Saved By Fate Rescue stepped in to give her the second chance she truly deserved. Anya is loving, gentle, and playful. She adores being near her person but also enjoys playing with other dogs. She takes corrections well, loves to zoom around the yard, and shows no signs of resource guarding. (She just eats fast so a slow feeder bowl is recommended!) Shes done great with other dogs - male, female, big, and small - and was cat-tested with good results. She recently met some children and did well with them too! (We knew she would). Anya walks nicely on leash once she settles from her initial excitement, and she knows sit. Shes potty-trained, spayed, microchipped, and fully up to date on vaccines and preventatives. Anya would thrive in many types of homes but we think shed do best with a canine companion. She doesnt require a fenced yard, as shes perfectly content with walks and time by your side. If youre looking for a sweet, affectionate, and fun-loving companion to share your days with, Anya might just be your perfect match. Her adoption fee is $250. If you're interested in adopting, please submit an application at savedbyfate.org and we'll be in touch ASAP. A meet with any approved applicant's current pets and entire family will be required prior to starting the 2-week adoption trial period.   Please visit our website savedbyfate.org to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs and cats.

Story
Just like her Beatles namesake, Lennon brings joy, warmth, and a touch of playful mischief everywhere she goes. Lennon is sweet, cuddly, and full of love, but she also has a spunky side that keeps life interesting. Shes a devoted companion who loves to follow her people around, always ready to be part of whatever magical mystery tour the day brings. She listens incredibly well, already knows Sit, and is working on Down. Lennon is AMAZING with humans (even kids) and cats, but would prefer to be the only dog in the home. One of her cutest quirks? Lennon is absolutely crazy about giving kisses gentle, enthusiastic, and often accompanied by a little hug if youll let her. Shes also a superstar in her kennel, holding it for 89 hours without accidents and politely letting you know she needs to go outside by pacing. Since arriving in her foster home, shes only had one accident indoors pretty impressive for a pup still learning the rhythm of home life. With her affectionate personality, eager-to-please attitude, and all-you-need-is-love spirit, Lennon is ready to come together with her forever family. Could that be you? Lennon has completed her vet care (spay, vaccines, microchip). Her adoption fee is $250. If you're interested in adopting, please submit an application at savedbyfate.org and we'll be in touch ASAP. A meet with any approved applicant's current pets and entire family will be required prior to starting the 2-week adoption trial period.

American Staffordshire Terrier Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 5 yrs 11 mos

Story
CeCe is one of our longest rescue residents and has a SPONSORED adoption fee! She's a really sweet, petite girl who just wants to find her own humans to love. Her foster family describes her as, adorable, playful, low-maintenance, and affectionate! Although we dont know for sure because she was found as a stray in late 2023, we believe CeCe is about 5-6 years old. She weighs 45 pounds. CeCe has loved every human she meets, including children, and does well in public. She tends to be selective about her canine friends but can slowly warm up to certain dogs. She seems to prefer older dogs who can simply co-exist with her. We think CeCe would do best with only 1-2 dogs maximum in the home, especially if theyre laid back. We recently cat-tested CeCe and she did well! If her hopeful forever home has a cat(s), slow intros and dog-savvy cats would definitely be best. CeCe has completed her vet care (spay, vaccines, microchip) and can't wait to meet you! Her adoption fee has been fully SPONSORED ($0)! If you're interested in adopting, please submit an application at savedbyfate.org and we'll be in touch ASAP. A meet with any approved applicant's current pets and entire family will be required prior to starting the 2-week adoption trial period.
