Story
Meet Kraut – The Pocket Rocket 🚀🐾 Looking for a dog with big energy in a compact package? That’s me—Kraut! I’m a cattle dog in travel-sized form, bursting with brains, drive, and a whole lot of personality. I’m not your average couch-companion (unless you’ve got a tennis ball in hand). My hobbies include outrunning expectations, herding anything that moves, and judging your slow reflexes. I thrive when I’ve got a job to do—whether that’s agility, fly ball, farm work, or just keeping you on your toes. Don’t let my size fool you. I’m fast, focused, and full of fire. My dream family is active, adventurous, and ready to keep up with my quick mind and quicker paws. Give me a task, and I’ll give you 110%—plus a lifetime of loyalty and laughs. If you’re ready for a spirited teammate, a pocket-sized athlete, and the best adventure buddy you’ll ever have, then what are we waiting for? Let’s go! 🐶💨

Story
I adopted Penny from a shelter about 4 years ago. She is sweet as dogs get. She is an Aussie Staffie mix. I need to rehome her because we are moving into a rental and are expecting several moves for work in the near future. Having pets makes work travel difficult and renting homes very limited. Penny loves frisbie. She is great with other dogs and does well at the dog park.

Story
Abelia is the perfect dog. Loving, smart, beautiful, cuddly, stays with her person, active but not hyper, medium sized, adult but still young, great with dogs of all sizes, great with cats and kittens, walks well on the leash, does well in a crate, not a barker. She was dumped with another dog and a local resident reached out for help so the dogs wouldn't starve or get hit by a car. They are now safe at the rescue. She is currently still in Oklahoma where she was rescued but she can only be adopted out of state where people treat animals well. She 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 her in or she 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) Vetting: spayed, 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.
