My story

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

Meet Dickens, a lively mixed breed with a zest for life! This adorable 15-lb. fur ball earned his name with his spirited antics: he's as cute as the dickens!

Dickens can be playful and high energy and would thrive in a home with active adults and/or older children who can match his energy and enthusiasm. But don't worry; he knows how to hit the snooze button too. He'll happily curl up on your lap for a cozy nap or night's sleep.

Speaking of laps, Dickens is selectively social with other dogs and can be a bit selfish about sharing his human’s affection with them. Being the only dog would be fine with him.

Dickens definitely needs a securely fenced yard in which to exercise; life on a leash is not for him. And his independent (sometimes stubborn) nature means he doesn’t always come when called. We would like to place him in a quieter rural or suburban environment where he can be the king of his own backyard, rather than having to cope with city noises, traffic and crowds.

If you're ready for a heaping helping of love, laughter, and cuddles, prepare to fall head over heels for this little bundle of joy.

Dickens' adoption fee is $300. Email Save the Strays for an application!

Their adoption process

1.
Submit Application

Please email info@savethestrays.org for our application.

2.

3.
Meet the Pet

Once approved, applicants can meet the dog and, if they like it, complete the adoption and take it home.

Additional adoption info

We are a home and foster care-based rescue, with no shelter facility or employees. Because our rescue dogs live in private homes, we ask those interested in adopting from us to complete our application as the first step in our process and only set up an appointment to meet the dog(s) in which they are interested after they are approved to adopt. Use our online application or email info@savethestrays.org to request an application.

More about this rescue

Save the Strays Animal Rescue is an all-volunteer 501c3 public charity and no-kill humane organization founded in 2004. Our mission is to rescue and rehome unwanted and abandoned dogs and provide lifelong care for any that are not adopted.

All of our dogs receive age-appropriate vaccinations. Dogs six months and older are spayed or neutered and tested for heartworms before adoption. Some of the dogs we rescue and make available for adoption are older, have suffered injuries or have treatable medical conditions. These have included blind dogs, deaf dogs, dogs with amputations, congenital deformities, and limited mobility, and dogs with heart conditions, diabetes and other chronic disorders. We disclose all known health conditions to potential adopters.

Because we do not euthanize rescued dogs to make room for others, some of these dogs may be with us for a number of years or even for life. Your donations help us pay for the care they need to maintain their quality of life in a loving home environment.
