My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Red Dog has been at the rescue for over 2 1/2 years now without interest. He has a story below, but this boy is so deserving of love. When volunteers are are at the rescue, he readily greets them for attention, he always wants to play, and while he can be shy at first, he is a total sweetheart that doesn't deserve to live his life at the rescue. He's a total weirdo, but the best type of weirdo. Read his original story below and maybe take a chance on this overlooked boy.

My name is Red Dog. I was pulled from Long County Animal Control on the euthanasia list. Due to being absolutely scared to death. I am an absolutely stunning terrier mix. I will need a very patient person to welcome me into their home. He may not be the dog to run and jump in your lap the first time I meet you, but once I get to know you I am the most annoying and playful guy ever. I was horribly abused before coming to SGER. It took time and love for them to earn my trust. Now I run around with 30 to 40 dogs and can stay out on the farm unattended and not bother a soul. I just play with my toys or my friends. We are working on Red dog and a harness as he gets very scared when restricted because it seems that was when someone hurt him. But he is much better and learns fast and is very food motivated. He can play a little rough and jump some when he likes you but all of those things take time to stop as we don't get onto him too much as not to scare him back into the scared guy when he came. He is fixed, HW negative and house broke.

SGER FAQs

We are a 501c3 non profit rescue.
Your information in our application is not shared and is protocol for adoption. Here is the application link.
https://shorturl.at/syCM3

All of our dogs have age-appropriate vaccinations, if over 6 months old are spayed or neutered, if under 6 months adopter is responsible for having that done between 6 and 10 months of age (we can offer some low cost options for you), microchipped with lifetime free membership, dewormed and will go home with a 3 to 5 day dewormer as well. Any medical conditions known are disclosed to the best of our ability.

Adults are heartworm tested and status is disclosed. Please don't let HW positive dogs deter you. Please ask us and we will gladly explain the slow kill process!

If you are out of state or out of area that is not a problem, we do offer relay transport for a small additional fee to cover health certificates required for private interstate travel and additional vetting required.

We run solely on donations and house 100 plus dogs and 10 plus horses at any given time. Please be patient but if you do not hear from us within 48 hours of submitting your application please reach out. We are human and we do get very busy sometimes. Our email is Sgequinerescue@gmail.com you can email when you put your app in or wait the 48 hours. Just know some dogs have a lot of apps so the sooner the better in those cases.

Adoption fees range from $150 to $400

We do not offer discounts of any kind. Adoption fees are set fees and not negotiable. These fees help with vetting on current and future animals we take in.

We do not offer walk through "choose a dog/puppy" type experience. We are partially foster-based, we can help with matching dogs if you have something you have in mind so feel free to call or browse our available dogs at sger.petfinder.com. You can meet before adoption but that is ONLY done with approved applicants.

Thank you for considering giving a rescue dog a chance. You don't just save one life, you save 2!
