Story
LOCATION: Brownsburg, IndianaDOB: 03/29/18 (estimate)Stormy is a snuggly, loving, and amazing dog! She loves her people so much! She loves to splash in the water, and she loves her doggy pool! She is the best cuddler, and now that she is more comfortable at home she has become quite the couch potato. She loves to be in a bed or on the couch, but she definitely prefers to be in bed! She will need lots of time and patience to adjust to her new home and new people (she warms up more quickly to women), but once she gains your trust, she'll be inseparable! Stormy will do well with older children (12 years and older) who will respect her need for space and patience as she adjusts. She does need time to warm up to strangers, especially men, but comes around quickly after learning that they aren't going to hurt her. Stormy loves to go on walks even if it is cold outside. She has done well with her leash and muzzle training. Due to her very tough past, she does have separation anxiety, and is protective over her resources - especially food. She will need a strong, patient owner who will continue to work with her. She does fantastic in the car, and she loves to go get pup cups. She also loves to do enrichment activities that help her with her anxiety such as her lick mat and topple. She is a lap dog who always wants to cuddle and give you lots of kisses. She loves to play with her foster family’s other dogs outside, but she takes a while to warm up to other animals inside. She would do best in a home without cats, and her future family should be aware that she is dog selective and will need careful introductions (again, she struggles more indoors). Because of her sad history of being attacked by other dogs, she can be reactive to other animals and is not a dog park dog. Stormy would be best in a home with larger dogs only, even better if they are bigger than her and enjoy playtime as much as she does!She does not like to go outside very often and she is terrified of being left outside, so her foster family always go outside with her for comfort. She especially has trouble going outside when it is hot. Quite possibly, she had lived her life outdoors in Texas and was not able to escape the heat, so now the outdoors and heat give her pause, but her nice and cool doggie pool definitely makes that better and a lot more fun for her. Stormy is learning how to play with toys and is getting better at playing catch outside. She loves to explore and do her zoomies! She is a great listener and knows basic commands (sit, stay, come, no). She is also fully housebroken. She is still learning manners, but she is the happiest and most loving girl! She enjoys her calming chews, and she is great at taking her medication. She can be out in the house by herself as she is not destructive at all (unless she has access to food or trash).Although she had a rough past, she is the sweetest and happiest girl (especially when she wakes up in the morning)! She deserves to be soooo spoiled! If you are that special person that is willing to put in the time and patience, you will get so much more in return from Stormy!========================= To apply to adopt me, please fill out the application form! https://form.jotform.com/51994996709176 .For more information, please email us at rescueme@srgdrr.org.

Story
LOCATION: Pensacola, FloridaDOB: 01/05/2018 (Estimate)Hi! My name is Luna Blu. Isn’t that the prettiest name you’ve ever heard? It just rolls right off the tongue. Luuuuna Bluuuuu. If you don’t read another single sentence here, I want you to leave knowing two things about me: 1) I have a Master’s Degree in snuggling. 2.) I have my Doctorate in cuddling. I. Am. A. Genius.And I really hope you want a big, blue, soft ball of velvety fur following you around, because that is what you will get with me. Velcro to the max. Plan on me going where you go. Being affectionate and invading your privacy aren’t my only skills, though. I know some basic obedience and am a very fast learner. I ask to go out to go potty, and I sleep well in my crate at night. One little tip: I do love being with my people A LOT and so I get nervous when I’m home by myself. My mouth gets all weirded out and I start “tasting” things I have no business tasting. Everyone is much happier when I go in my crate if I am home by myself. My foster mom says I'm a "dream" in the car. I love to ride shotgun and am excellent at navigating. I love squeaky toys, plushies, and playing fetch. My foster mom says I’m obsessed with stuffies. I like to carry at least one in my mouth at all times. We may need to call the Guinness Book of World Records because my record is holding 4 at one time, not including the tennis ball that I picked up along the way. It is truly an impressive feat. I am a sweet girl to my humans and love kiddos, even the smallest ones, but I do struggle with seeing and/or meeting other dogs whether I am inside looking out the window or out on a walk on my leash. A home off the beaten path where dogs wouldn’t be walking by would be ideal. Sort of like if I can’t see them, then I don’t know they are there and then I’m a happy camper. And within my own home, I am super-duper friendly with large dogs once we meet properly but I don’t think I would like being in a home with multiple dogs. That is just too overwhelming. And no cats or other small pets. Something that I’m kinda proud of is that I can adapt quickly to changing environments and I can match my own energy level to the situation around me. You want to play? Me, too! You aren’t feeling good and need to rest? Got it. We can simply lay together until you are feeling better. If you’ve read this far then I feel like I’ve kept your interest. And that’s a great first step! But we need to see if we are a good fit TOGETHER. So the ball is in your court now. I’m ready to find my forever home. Are you ready for me?========================= To apply to adopt me, please fill out the application form! https://form.jotform.com/51994996709176 .For more information, please email us at rescueme@srgdrr.org.

Story
LOCATION: Minden, LouisianaDOB: 06/15/2020 (Estimate)How is Wilson still waiting for his forever home? It’s a mystery indeed! Meet Wilson, a black and white Great Dane with a freckled bib and an expression that oscillates between oh-so-serious and irresistibly goofy. He’s more than ready to find a family to call his own and to share his signature “Willie wiggles” every morning. Imagine starting your day with such joy!Affectionately known as Willy, this sweet and silly boy boasts a medium energy level and a super submissive nature. He’s on a heartwarming journey, learning to love affection and earning the titles of “baby doll” and “special boy” from his foster mom, thanks to his endearing personality and gentle demeanor.Willy’s quirky side is sure to bring a smile to your face. He’s a bit of a hoarder, lovingly collecting toys, towels, shoes—anything he can get his paws on—into a treasure pile of his very own. And crinkly toys? They’re the pinnacle of playtime in Willy’s world!While Wilson has a preference for women, he’s blossoming into a confident companion around all new people. Gone are the days of retreating to his crate; now, he’s content to lay on the floor, soaking up the family vibes. He’s a champ with older, respectful children and a gentle giant around toddlers. Cats? He’ll happily coexist. Other pups? They’re his playmates.To keep his hoarding and dumpster diving in check, Wilson is crated when unsupervised. He’s a pro on the leash and has impeccable house manners, though car rides aren’t his favorite—yet he’s showing great potential to become a road-tripping buddy. This big guy can be a bit skittish so a home with a secure 6ft fence is a must! Fun Facts about Wilson: - Black and white Great Dane with a freckled bib and a pouty yet playful expression. - Medium energy level, super submissive, and adores affection. - Quirky hoarder with a love for crinkly toys. - Comfortable with women and gaining confidence around new people. - Good with older respectful children and gentle with toddlers. - Ignores cats and loves playing with other dogs. - Crated when unsupervised to manage his hoarding tendencies. - Walks nicely on a leash and is house trained. - Not a huge fan of car rides but loads wonderfully and shows promise.Wilson is a silly, sweet, and special boy who’s ready to wiggle his way into your heart and home. If you’re looking for a loving, goofy companion to keep you entertained and loved, Wilson is the perfect match. Reach out to meet this wonderful boy and give Silly Willy the forever home he so richly deserves!========================= To apply to adopt me, please fill out the application form! https://form.jotform.com/51994996709176 .For more information, please email us at rescueme@srgdrr.org.

Story
LOCATION: Ada, OklahomaDOB: 07/28/2014A wise person once said; It takes two to make a thing go right. It takes two to make it outta sight! In the grand tapestry of perfect pairings, where macaroni finds its cheese and salt finds its caramel (mmmm), enters the delightful duo of Chico and Oso. They are the epitome of companionship, elevating each other's lives like the iconic partnerships of Romeo and Juliet, yin and yang, or even wine and cheese. Chico and Oso, like these timeless combinations, are not just best friends – they make each other better.Chico, the Great Dane, is the grumpy yet lovable counterpart to Oso's exuberance. He's a connoisseur of lazy afternoons, stealing not just blankets but hearts with his endearing snuggles. Chico's classic Dane lean is a force to be reckoned with, ready to knock you over with affection when you least expect it. In his stout and tall frame lies a world of warmth, just waiting to be shared with his dear friend. and YOU, if given the chance.Oso, the collie mix, is the vivacious and friendly half of this dynamic duo. He’s got the joyous spirit of a perpetual pup. Oso's playfulness is an art, especially when engaging with his older companion, Chico. His gentle nature shines through as he wraps his paws around Chico's neck for hugs, creating a bond that transcends age and breeds.Together, they are good with female dogs, but male dogs – not so much. However, there has been some improvement so with slow introductions, it is possible. Their perfect home would be one with dog-savvy kids who understand the delicate balance of playfulness and respect. As for cats, that remains an uncharted territory for this extraordinary pair.Chico and Oso share a love for water and wide-open spaces to run. Chico, though a little slower, enjoys the thrill of the chase, while Oso adds a touch of energy with his zoomies. When it comes to bedtime, their mattress is so comfortable, but nothing beats the joy of cuddling up with their humans.What Chico and Oso seek is a forever home filled with love, space to roam, and moments of serene relaxation. They are not internationally known but could probably rock the microphone (wink). They are not just looking for a place to live – they're in search of a haven where their unique bond can continue to flourish. They need someone who can appreciate that they are like peanut butter and chocolate, Batman and Robin or chips and salsa. So, if you're ready to embrace the enchanting friendship of Chico and Oso, open your heart to a pairing that promises an abundance of joy, laughter, and endless love. We all know that it really does take two to make a thing go right.========================= To apply to adopt me, please fill out the application form! https://form.jotform.com/51994996709176 .For more information, please email us at rescueme@srgdrr.org.

Story
LOCATION: Heath, TexasDOB: 11/26/2014 (Estimate)Today we bring you not one, but two senior fellas that have been within the rescue group for a LONG time and have been so very patiently waiting for their forever home for a LONG time. Both boys have some life experience and some gray hairs. (Hatch has the MOST amazing eyebrows!) These boys were sprung from the shelter together. Somewhere along the lines, they must’ve been with someone who cared for them and started to work with them on training. These mature gentlemen like people and would do well in a home where the children or grandchildren are over 5 years old. They do fine around most dogs, but have no known cat exposure. When meeting any new four legged friend, they appreciate slow and controlled introductions. Both boys have a lot of energy, even for older blokes. They love playing and running in the yard and are just as comfortable outdoors as they are indoors. Lounging in the sun is a fantastic way for them to spend the afternoon. When they are inside, they are not destructive and have not needed the kennel. They know the grass outside is where they do their business. Eating is another favorite thing to do. Breakfast, dinner, and anything in between! Especially if it is coated in peanut butter or PB flavored. Yum!Who's ready to help these boys FINALLY get into the forever home? ========================= To apply to adopt me, please fill out the application form! https://form.jotform.com/51994996709176 .For more information, please email us at rescueme@srgdrr.org.

Story
LOCATION: Minden, Louisiana DOB: 5/17/2014When you look back on today, you will remember this as the day you first met the beautiful and grand Dakota. Her foster mom calls her “an angel” and all the girls at the vet’s office gush over how sweet and well behaved she is. Miss Dakota may be a senior gal but with all that life experience comes wisdom. Dakota is potty trained, crate trained and knows some obedience commands such as Sit, Go Potty and Up. She loves car rides and going for walks.One of her favorite things to do is hold down the couch and snuggle up with a toy and a human. She is not a Velcro Dane but she does love to get her loving. She also will bury her head in your lap for neck scratches. If you stop and she isn't done, she will give you the paw, or nudge/flip your hand up to get more.She has been around other dogs and isn’t afraid to speak her mind with them if needed. She would best thrive in a home where she is the only dog, or a home with a low-key male dog (she doesn't want to share her space with female dogs). She does want her food all to herself and needs to be fed separately from other dogs.Cats? Easy-peasy-like a walk in the park. Dakota can get nervous around tiny humans. Her ideal home would have children over the age of twelve. She’s hoping her new family would be okay letting her sleep in the bed with them. She promises to be respectful of your space and not be all up in your business.Her right rear paw does have a pronounced deformity. Her foster family calls it her “bunny foot.” The vet said it’s ok but she will need to be monitored for arthritis as she goes along. She can run, spin, play tug-o-war and so far has not stopped her from being pretty amazing. And if she is given a squeaky ball to play with, you've pretty much made her day, week, and year. Nail trims are not as fantastic of a time for sweet Dakota. She has those done at the vet's office. Dakota was with one family for her whole life. Due to unforeseen circumstances out of her control, she is now looking for her second, and hopefully, last family. Will you be that family for her?========================= To apply to adopt me, please fill out the application form! https://form.jotform.com/51994996709176 .For more information, please email us at rescueme@srgdrr.org.
