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

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
