Thank you for your interest in Heidi! She is an incredible dog—beautiful, well-mannered, and deeply loved her whole life. Due to unforeseen circumstances, she is now looking for a new family, and we know she will be in high demand. It’s rare that we welcome a Standard Poodle into rescue who has been so well raised, and we want to ensure she finds the best possible home. Heidi is friendly, happy, and outgoing, with a wonderful balance of playfulness and affection. She is eager to please, food-motivated, and full of charm. Her next family will be very lucky to have her!

Story
With sad heart ❤️ 💙 💜 I need to rehome Sadie. My work schedule keeps her alone for too much of the day and it's saddening for her. I know she needs a home with hustle and bustle. She is a puppy still and very active. A home with a yard would be best. She loves cats and dogs and kids. She has ears like a hawk and will definitely alert you to noises. She loves to sleep, her toys, her blankie, the park and treats. She loves to hold hands and sit on you lol. She is a good girl in the car and enjoys the window down. She knows commands, sit, shake paws, lay down, bed time and outside. Vet has deemed her healthy and of proper weight. She has her shots up to date. She is not of age to be fixed just yet. You need to be able to love her like crazy and I mean like crazy. She is a very special girl and I love her like mad hence why I only want to see her happy and have a not so lonely life. You need to be able to care for a dog and all that is required, financially and lovingly.

Piper is a confident, opinionated but sweet, medium-high energy gal who is good with dogs and kids. She has not had any known exposure to cats, so best with a home without kitties. She has excellent house manners, though will help herself if you leave tasty food in reach. She is up to date with her vaccines, microchipped, flea and tick treated, and heartworm negative and will be spayed soon at our vet.. Her adoption fee is $500. You must be 21 years old to adopt and provide vet and personal references. An application to adopt her can be found on our website www.oxfordcountyanimalrescue.com.

Story
Ranger is the tallest of the males in his litter of 10. He is vocal and loves to tell you about his day and then tell you again! He loves to be pet and looks at a gate as a challenge, not a barrier. He is a typical busy puppy, who loves to play, run, and wrestle. He will be a large dog, as both mom and dad are over 75 pounds. He is looking for a forever home that has some experience with the food motivated lab and stubborn mastiff. It is recommended that he attend a puppy socialization class to become comfortable with friends who are not his siblings. He will be visiting the vet this week for his vaccines, flea and tick treatment, microchip, and wellness screening. He will come with a voucher for his neuter at 6 months of age at our vet in Woodstock. His adoption fee is $500. You must be 21 years old to adopt and provide vet and personal references. An application to adopt him can be found on our website www.oxfordcountyanimalrescue.com. Click on Adopt, then Dogs for Adoption and scroll to the bottom of the page. All applications are reviewed, and if we feel you might be a good fit for him, you will be contacted to arrange a home visit as well as for permission to speak with your vet. Repeated phone calls and emails with not advance your application. We are a volunteer, foster based rescue and there is no opportunity to meet him before an application has been approved. We thankyou for respecting these guidelines.

Story
Rocky is one of the smaller male pups from a litter of 10. He is a challenging pup who pushes every limit he can! He will need a firm, patient owner who sets boundaries and stand by them. Like his brothers, he is a typical little boy who loves to run and chase and wrestle until it's time to eat. He will be a large dog, as both mom and dad are over 75 pounds. He is looking for a forever home that has some experience with the food motivated lab and stubborn mastiff.

Story
Meet Shelby, a cute, sweet, cuddly, energetic girl looking for her furever home. We believe she is about 1-1.5 years old. She was found all alone at a hiking lookout, probably waiting for her people to come back for her. She had no collar or chip, and no-one came to look for her. She was extremely shy, nervous, and hungry and a bit worse for wear when she was found, but she is finding her groove now! She is very eager to please, and a quick study as she is very food motivated. She is currently working on crate training, loose leash walking, sit, down and leave it. She is house trained as long as she is let outside regularly, but she does not ask to go out. She seems to warm up to females quicker than men, but is becoming more confident with time. She doesn't like to be left alone, and is still a bit nervous of new people and places . She is currently being fostered with an older female lab/shepherd/ mastiff mix and is learning the ropes from her. She has learned to swim, fetch, chase sticks, play tug of war, wrestle and is learning to play with toys instead of shoes. She does like to chew! She likes to go for car rides and is developing a fascination for chasing squirrels. We are working on redirecting this new hobby. She has met a few other dogs and cats, but has not spent a lot of time with cats so she may be a bit too interested in them as they resemble squirrels. She has done well with the few older kids she has met . She is looking for a family who can give her lots of love and continue to work with her to help her continue to become more secure and confident. She is up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, flea and tick treated and has been spayed. Her adoption fee is $500. You must be 21 years old to adopt and provide vet and personal references. An application to adopt her can be found on our website www.oxfordcountyanimalrescue.com. Click on Adopt, then Dogs for Adoption and scroll to the bottom of the page.
