SAILOR A HANDSOME YOUNG DOG. GOOD WITH ALL DOGS AND PEOPLE! This sweet, young fellow is Sailor and he came into our rescue when we were told about four dogs that were living with an unhoused man who allowed the dogs to roam freely in the streets while dodging traffic. Thankfully, we were able to get him to surrender all of the dogs to us. We got them straight to our vet where they were all fully vetted. Sailor is now looking for his forever home! This sweet boy is a 1-year-old, 54lb,Kelpie / Akita. He wants to please and craves human companionship. He is just freaking awesome, listen to his name can be goofy and playful, it’s just so rewarding to see a pup that had absolutely nothing and no future to see him play with toys and bones for the first time is priceless . Also he is not recourse guarding and very willing to share if we tell him to. , what a fantastic dog and so loyal. Someone that is not gone long hours during the day, and a home with a safe and secure yard for him to play in. Active owners that will walk daily is exactly what he needs! He is such a wonderful dog and is good with everyone he meets! He deserves the best forever home out there and we won't stop till we find it! This one is like hitting the Jackpot. 🔥❤️😍💕 Sailor is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. 😍🔥😍🔥😍🔥😍

Story
Carmela is a wonderfully loving dog with a joyful, playful spirit. She especially enjoys jumping around and has an abundance of energy. Although I have taken her to training classes, we didn’t make the progress I had hoped for. She learns quickly and still has that sweet puppy heart. She adores her toys, treats, snuggle blankets, and her big pink pillow. Unfortunately, I am no longer able to keep her. Her bark is very high-pitched, and with my hearing aids I receive frequent warnings, which has made it too difficult to manage. Carmela is very gentle and affectionate with my grandchildren, but she is a jumper; now that she has grown, she’s taller than my granddaughter when she jumps. She only wants to play—she doesn’t realize that her enthusiasm can cause issues. She truly is my little spring. I had her fixed hoping it might help with her barking, but sadly it did not. I wish with all my heart that I could keep her, because she really is a sweet, loving girl. toys, blankets, pen
