Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.To apply to adopt this dog now, complete our adoption application   HERE To see our upcoming events where you can meet some of our dogs, please see   HERE Age: 11 months (as of 3/26/25) Weight:  36 pounds (as of 1/13/25) Location: RI This dog has been spayed/neutered, is up to date on shots, on heartworm preventative and is microchipped. This cutie is Zelda Stilwell!  We estimate that she is a ten-month-old shepherd mix.  Zelda would likely do best in a low-key home in a quiet neighborhood with humans who will play with her in the home, and also be patient with her as she builds her confidence with new people and experiences outside the home. Zelda is very sweet and affectionate with her core people, but can be nervous and unsure of meeting new people.  Patience, predictability and TLC will be key for this beauty, as well as going at HER pace! In the home with her people, Zelda can be quite playful and enjoys chew toys. She is just a baby herself and likes to be cuddled.  We don't know how long she was on her own as a stray, but she is adjusting well a very quiet and uneventful home life.  Given her fear of new people and things, she would do best in a home without small children. She is currently living with teenagers and loving the attention.  She is cautious when meeting new dogs, but has had success with slow introductions.  Zelda is housetrained and becoming more familiar each day on a leash, but can still be quite nervous on walks and does best in quiet areas without traffic or many people/dogs. We strongly recommend that all of our adopters' plan to work with a credentialed positive-only trainer to help navigate the adoption transition phase and any growing pains.  Learning commands and building confidence together is also a great way for both to bond, which is so important to the success of any adoption.   Zelda is a lovely young dog who is looking for a family with the patience to help her develop into a happy and relaxed adult. We believe that she will thrive in the right home and become your lifelong cherished companion! Zelda's Back story:  Despite being so young, Zelda recently gave birth to the adorable litter of four Stilwell puppies. She was saved by a kind person who had been unable to catch her for weeks but began leaving food out for the pregnant puppy. When Zelda gave birth, she brought the puppies to the woman who had been feeding her, and they were all rescued.  Zelda's pups have all been adopted; now it's momma's turn!

This dog is/has been asymptomatic while in SOS care and is being treated/has been treated preventatively with a 28-day course of doxycycline.  This dog is ready for adoption, though may continue to test positive for exposure to ehrlichia for some time.  Please see here for more information on ehrlichia, and please check with your vet before you apply to adopt this dog if you have any questions or concerns about this medical history.

His friendly demeanor and joyful spirit make him the perfect companion for any household. Adopt Prince Charming today, and let his infectious happiness bring a new light into your life. Medical Note:  This dog is being treated/has been treated for heartworm disease.  Untreated heartworm disease can cause lasting damage to the heart, lungs and arteries, and can affect the dog’s health and quality of life even after the parasites are gone, possibly presenting as medical complications and/or new conditions in the future.  Whenever possible, SOSARL advocates for following the American Heartworm Society guidelines for heartworm disease treatment as the safest and most effective methods; the active portion of this treatment protocol can take up to four months to complete.  Once treatment is completed and the dog tests negative for microfilaria, the dog will be cleared to resume normal activity and will be ready to travel north and be placed into an adoptive home.  This dog showed no symptoms of heartworm disease before or during treatment, and is expected to complete treatment with no complications.  Please ask your Adoption Counselor for the specific treatment protocol used for and current status of this dog.  Please check with your vet if you have any questions or concerns about this medical history.

Story
Lexie is in foster care in rural East Tennessee and will be transported upon adoption. Many dogs get dumped by their owners in the south when they no longer want them. Lexie is a one of those dogs. Attempts to locate her owner were unsuccessful. Lexie is only 1 yr. old. She is a high energy girl and will need an active family to help her thrive. She is friendly and outgoing. She is crate trained, and housebroken. Lexie is spayed, UTD on vaccines and ready for her new home. She loves playing with other dogs. She is in a multi dog foster home in a rural area. She will chase cats, so a cat free home is best. At 30 lbs currently. A fenced yard is preferred. Our application is found on our main website deaddogswalkingtn,com Once received, a rescue rep will contact you quickly. A transport and adoption fee will apply.

Story
Thank you for your interest in adopting. All of our dogs live in Alabama foster homes and transport to New England when they are adopted. If you are approved to adopt one of our dogs, you will speak to the foster family and you can request FaceTime, video or more pictures once your application is approved. Every dog is spayed or neutered, up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccines, microchipped, multiple dewormings, and pet receives parasite prevention. Dogs over six months are heartworm tested, and any dog that has been through treatment is fully disclosed with medical records. All dogs live in foster homes, in a family environment. Every dog comes with its health records. Mandy is approximately 9-10 months old and currently 40 lbs. she was found stray with her sister and no one looked for them. She was very skinny. We think Mandy’s going to weigh 50 to 55 pounds as an adult dog at two years old. Mandy lives in a foster home with a Senior couple and several dogs of various ages and sizes. She is happy and playful. She is crate training and does well in her crate overnight and for nap time. She will not do well crated all day while her family is at work. She needs someone home more than someone absent. Mandy has not lived with children that we are aware, however, we feel that she would do well in a home with school-age children. She has not been exposed to cats in rescue, but we could have her cat tested for an approved applicant. We have been sending Dogs and cats to New England homes for 15 years. We have to pay a transporter for every dog we send to a New England home. We do not own the van or service. Every dog sees a veterinarian before they leave for a health check and health certificate, which also comes with a cost. Total adoption fee for this sweetheart is $585.00. Hasn’t changed in years. $345 adoption $175 transport $65 health certificate Serious adopters should fill out the application online and someone will get back to you. We prefer a vet reference, current or previous, to adopt a puppy. Copy and paste the link into your browser. https://form.jotform.com/212574701956157
