Here's what the humans have to say about me:
This is Fred! He’ll win you over with those baby blues!!! He’s a cuddly 75LBS lap dog and loves his chew toys, chasing his ball, and playing tug of war! It will take a second for him to warm but when he does he’s such a fun companion. If you like goofy and affectionate dogs he’s you’re guy! He loves hikes, going to the beach, dipping his toes in the water, and playing in the sand! He also has a lazy side so don’t be fooled, he’ll curl up in the couch with you after a long walk! He walks great on leash but is cautious of strangers. He knows “sit” “wait” “come” and is also crate trained (though he’d much prefer to cuddle up with you).
A fenced back yard is ideal for him so he can have outdoor play time with no stress of strangers. Secure 6 foot fence required (not a chain link) He walked okay around one dog on leash but tends to pull when he sees other big dogs. For now he should be the ONLY dog in the house and no dogs parks. He has done “okay” with his fosters cat but does tend to get in her space. He needs to be monitored closely around cats and taught to respect their space. He cannot be around other animals unsupervised, so for now he should be the ONLY pet. He is fearful of men, Has to be a single dog savvy woman household with no other pets! If Fred sounds like a great match please send in an application!
All adopted pups and dogs are transported to WA/OR families when fully vetted, spayed/neutered and microchipped.For information on how to adopt me, please contact my foster parents at info@dogdiggityrescue.com. L&S Dog Diggity Rescue is headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, where there are over 350,000 homeless pets. We save homeless and abandoned dogs and find them loving forever homes in other areas, where pet homelessness is not epidemic. All of our pets are located here, in San Antonio, and we partner with rescues to provide transportation for our pets to their new homes. Our adoption fee includes vet care (vaccinations, spay/neuter, microchipping, etc), as well as transportation and health certificate. Please contact us to ask about our adoption process and our adoption fees. You can fill out an application at https://shaynesrescue.com/adoption-application-ls-dog-diggity/
Important: If you are interested in this pup/dog, please fill out the application (link listed above). The rescue will contact you once the application is received. Although we strive to answer everyone, due to the high volume of inquiries we receive, we cannot guarantee a response to all emails. Filling out the application is the best way and ensures a response from the rescue. In addition, while you are emailing us, if others apply, you can lose out adopting the dog you chose. We have hundreds and hundreds of puppies/dogs available so there really is no need to apply anywhere else. However, if you are applying or have applied anywhere else, we do need to know that.
SHANYE'S FOSTERS is a group of foster parents in the Olympia/Tumwater area. We foster dogs for rescues to assist them in adopting/rehoming of dogs by listing on this site. All adoption fees go towards rescuing more dogs in need. No one receives a salary. Shayne's Fosters is not responsible for any experience you have with any dog you might see posted on this site. They are the property of the sponsoring rescue who will supply all medical supporting records which is given with each dog when adopted.
Our adoption fees cover all medical costs to make sure the pups are appropriately vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and spayed/ neutered. It also covers the cost of transportation from Texas and the necessary health certificate documentation. The fees also include a negative heart-worm test for any dogs over 6 months. Some dogs/pups have additional medical, including but not limited to FHO, ACL, hernias, dental, and a myriad of other vetting. If the adoption fees seem high (which never cover the true cost of rescue), we recommend fostering for a good rescue. Fostering ensures you incur no vet bills and no boarding fees. We are always in need of good fosters. We are all volunteers who appreciate a good dog and feel they all need a second chance at a good life.
Thank you for choosing to adopt a rescue pup/dog. Worldwide over 1/2 billion puppies/dogs are PTS yearly and over 9,000/day just in U.S. shelters. Yes even entire litters of puppies are PTS daily in many US shelters! We firmly believe there is NO breed other than rescue for all species. Thank you for being part of the village it takes to save these precious lives.
