Story
I currently have 3 dogs and my males are not getting along, (Debo does not fight back or start the fights) instead of rehoming the aggressive dog I am making the hardest choice of my life and rehoming my sweet boy. I’ve had him since he was 5 weeks old and he just does not deserve to be attacked constantly, I’m looking at options in order to find him a better home where he can have doggy friends that love him and want to play with him. He is great with children. He carries his blankets around all day like a baby and sucks them. He absolutely loves to play ball and won’t stop until you are tired out. He is truly the best dog i’ve ever had. His birthday is May 1st 2020.

Story
Topper...seriously one of the sweetest, calmest, most submissive dogs I have ever met. He doesn't bark, he is not hyper, he loves to cuddle, he is submissive with other dogs and never shows any aggression even if a dog is trying to be dominant with him, and is living with cats and kittens. He was picked up by animal control with a large gash on his neck. The shelter fixed him up but then he ran out of time and was placed on the euthanasia list. I am so glad I got him out because he is the best. He is currently still in Oklahoma where he was rescued but he can only be adopted out of state where people treat animals well. He has to be prepaid and picked up directly from transport at one of our transport drop off locations below. If things don't work out for some reason, which rarely ever happens, we will either find a local foster to take him in or he will go back to Oklahoma on our next transport until a new home is found. Note: No dogs are advertised as potty-trained because most dogs need at least some re-training in a new environment and after being in a shelter/rescue environment/strays. www.facebook.com/desideratarescue (copy and paste into a new browser window) Transport locations: - Washington State (Kennewick, Spokane, Tacoma, Lynnwood/Edmonds, Bellingham) - Oregon (Portland and Springfield) - Colorado (Ft Lupton) - Idaho (Heyburn and Boise/Meridian) - Utah (Ogden) - Wyoming (Evanston, Rock Springs, Laramie) - Montana (Missoula) - Illinois (Vandalia, Springfield, Chicago) - Indiana (Spiceland, Burn Harbor) - Michigan (St Joseph, Battle Creek, Ann Arbor) - Wisconsin (Madison, Wausau, Eau Claire, Appleton, Milwaukee) - Minnesota (Minneapolis/St Paul) - Iowa (Des Moines) - Ohio (Columbus and London) - Pennsylvania (Erie, Pittsburgh and Harrisburg) - New York (Buffalo and Albany) - Connecticut (Enfield) - New Jersey (Bedminster) - Nevada (Las Vegas) - Arizona (Flagstaff) - Vermont (Brattleboro) Vetting: neutered, microchipped, rabies vaccine, bordetella vaccine, dhpp vaccine x 3, lepto vaccine x 2, dewormed several times, on monthly flea and tick prevention, on monthly heartworm protection, heartworm tested (negative).

Story
Meet Toledo: A story of hope, resilience, and a whole lot of love waiting to be discovered.This sweet boy's journey started when he was surrendered to another shelter at just 17 weeks old. We welcomed him to our facility in May 2025, hoping a fresh start would help him find his forever home. Now, at 1 1/2 years old, he's still waiting, and we can't understand why.Despite his past, Toledo is an absolute sweetheart. He loves cuddles and is a total goofball, adoring our staff and volunteers, but it's not the same as having a family. He is a gem on a leash. He loves car rides and pup cups. He loves to play with toys, but hasn't mastered fetch. He truly just wants to be with people. He seems to get along with other calm and kind dogs, as always, slow introductions are best. Toledo is fully vetted, full of life, and so ready to meet his forever family. If you're looking for a loving companion, please consider Toledo. Let's help him find the home he deserves and rewrite his story.**Neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and up-to-date on vaccines & monthly prevention. Weighs about 40 lbs**
