Story
Shelby is a 4 year old Red Heeler. He previous owner passed away and their family was unable to care for Shelby, as she has a lot of energy and loves attention. Shelby was scheduled to be euthanized, but I could not let that happen. I took Shelby in to help find her a great home. She is the sweetest dog and lives for attention. Unfortunately I cannot keep her as I already have five other dogs, work full time, and I’m in the process of getting my masters. Shelby would do best in a home where her person would have more time to spend with her, take her out for walks and rides, and play fetch. Due to her owners pervious health, Shelby was never exposed to strangers, other dogs, etc. She has come such a long way since the first time I met her, so I wouldn’t rule anything out! Please reach out if you are interested in hearing more about Shelby’s story 🐶♥️

Story
Callie is a very people friendly 3 year old lab pit mix. She is a deaf dog so in new situations she can be a little reactive but is not a mean dog. She loves to go for walks and sniff around in new places. In a home as the only pet will be best suited for her as active, jumpy or barky dogs tend to make her super reactive. A fenced yard or someone committed to taking her for walks for potty time will be best. Callie had been in training at White Mountain College for Pets for a few months learning how to communicate as a deaf dog and learn new skills as well as obedience. She does have a electronic collar that is necessary to communicate with her. Callie is a great dog but does have some limitations that make her only adoptable to very experienced dog owners. Her adoption comes with extended training for the new owner and her so you have the best skills moving forward.Please call 802-892-5300 for more information or fill out the online application at www.riversideanimalrescue.org

Brooks is a 3 1/2 year old Lab Husky mix that is a fabulous dog. He could live with female dogs with a slow introduction and children over 10. He is pretty strong on a leash but has been getting some training here at the shelter on not pulling as well as sit, heel and stay. He is not great with cats and small critters like most Huskey dogs.Please call 802-892-5300 for more information or fill out the online application at www.riversideanimalrescue.org

Story
Ray is a 1-year-old chocolate lab probably a mix with something. He is a tall guy that is at the perfect age to learn. He is pretty excitable and loves to be with people. Ray has been getting some training here at the shelter and his overall behavior with excitability and jumping has improved. His jumping on people is also improving but like all young dogs they just need continued training to improve their behavior. Ray tends to be ok with some dogs, but cats and small critters would need to be introduced slowly. Older kids since he will knock them down or be face to face with them. We have no history on him as he came in as a stray. He is house trained but like most puppies needs a routine.Please call 802-892-5300 for more information or fill out the online application at www.riversideanimalrescue.org

Grizzly

Wirehaired Pointing Griffon

Male, 6 yrs
Saint Albans, VT
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Grizzly is believed to be a wirehaired pointing griffon.He is true to his breed that he is smart and loves to stay busy. He does best with consistent training and a schedule. He is about 6 years old and is working on being socialized more than he was before coming to us. We are looking for him to have a mature household that will continue his training and give him an active lifestyle. We would invite anyone interested in grizzly to research the breed before considering him as a fit for their home. Due to his breed and lack of training, we ask for him to be the only pet in the home with no children. Even though he has many attributes of the breed; smart, and bonds to a family members. He also was not trained early so he does have anxiety that he will need to be worked through with positive reinforcement training only and would most likely not be able to build the training to be a hunting dog like most of his breedWe are pre-approving applicants. To schedule an appointment, first fill out our adoption application ( https://cb8f5fb7-0a87-40fa-8ea5-50c4da40acd3.filesusr.com/ugd/c8cb9f_8cd13866ecd54a42a2b424d2b2f8dc10.pdf ). This will ask you questions about which animal you’re interested in, your family, other furry members in the household, whether you own or rent your home and who your Veterinarian is. These allow us to make the best match possible. We touch base with your landlord due to the unfortunate number of landlords who do not allow pets in Franklin County. Our goal with checking in with your Veterinarian is to ensure that the animals of FCAR receive the medical care they deserve. Once we have a positive reference from your landlord (if you rent) and Veterinarian, we will contact you to schedule an appointment with us! If you don't have any pets we understand you would not have a vet reference and we ask for applicants to substitute a personal reference. Please keep in mind, appointments are first come, first serve, based on when your application is approved. Please be patient with your Veterinarian and landlord, as their staff and businesses have been affected by COVID-19 as well. We are incredibly thankful that there has been no shortage in interest! This being said, our staff is limited and we are doing our absolute best to approve applications in a timely manner. This process can take up to a few weeks, but most are approved before then.
