Story
currently trying to rehome our Miss Maya. She is 5 on 11/12/24. We’ve had her since she was a pup and got her from a rescue in NOVA. She’s updated on all of her vaccines, crate trained, potty trained, been to kennels, went to proper training at Creature comfort in Strasburg. We have her collar that she was trained with as well and her crate. She is amazing walking on leash, and loves being outside. Her anxiety has been her rough part, but a lot of it has stemmed from our older dogs and our young kids. She’s gotten in a few fights with our other dogs so we are really trying to make sure she goes where she is the only dog and no cats. She’s also developed some territorial behaviors with other dogs because of her anxiety and our older dogs. Although she’s had issues with our dogs and kids she has never bit a person. Her separation anxiety has caused her to be a little bit destructive at home but with given her medicine and properly put in her crate when not home she can do great.

Story
Peaches was adopted and had a life as a family member, but sadly was returned after 6 years. We are all sad for her and hoping her forever home will love her for the good girl she can be. Sweet Peaches is affectionate, loves to chill on the couch, enjoys a good car ride, a long walk, and playing with her toys. Peaches adores all sized people, although the littles may not stay upright around 'miss big love'. She is spayed, housebroken, and knows all the basic commands. This girl listens well, she completed her training at Creature Comfort Inn and is currently being fostered by a trainer. She is a strong girl that will need a strong leader, continued structure will be best to keep everyone happiest. Peaches is a beautiful tall German Shepherd, weighting 85 pounds. She prefers to be the only animal in the house and does have a strong prey drive, so small critters wouldn't fair well around this queen. Peaches has EPI (Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency), which means her pancreas doesn't produce enough enzymes to break down the food properly. This is not too costly and easy to manage. Enzyme powder is added to her food at each meal and she needs a B12 supplement. So please don't let EPI scare you! Peaches is a healthy senior girl, looking for her happily-ever-after! Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.  If you are an approved adopter and are interested in this dog, please let your case worker know. If you are not yet an approved adopter but are interested, please complete an adoption application!

Story
Hank is doing well with his mild case of Mega-E (megaesophagus). He gets in his Bailey Chair himself at mealtime. Hank loves to play, learning to catch a frisbee. He will be great at it, jumping very high in the air and succeeding in a catch! He likes to fetch balls and usually brings them back. He will need additional training in leash walking. Hank is housebroken, heartworm negative, neutered, and tolerates his crate. It is important to keep him in a safe area when you are not around, so he doesn't get into something he should not. He should mature to a medium sized good boy, under forty pounds. Handsome Hank is good with kids, cats, and dogs. Definitely need to keep kitty items out Hank's reach, as he finds everything tasty. This good boy is a real catch!   Hank and his 11 siblings were named after legendary country singers. This is their story: His mother, Mountain Mama, wandered up to a feral horse rescue campsite and quickly befriended the rescuers. She needed help! Soon after, she gave birth to a large litter of puppies. A few weeks later a wonderful thing happened - Mama and her 12 puppies were transferred to an SSR foster.  All of Hank's siblings have been adopted.  Hank has been diagnosed with megaesophagus or mega e. This diagnosis should not keep you from adopting this very sweet boy.  All that needs to be done is to have him sit up when he eats and for 10 minutes after. He is a champ at taking his pill at every meal, by syringe after they have been dissolved in water. An elevated water bowl works best for this pup. Hank is a very happy, playful, outgoing puppy.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.  If you are an approved adopter and are interested in this dog, please let your case worker know.

Story
  Nesta was rescued from a high kill shelter in TX. It takes Nesta a while to trust and will take her time to feel safe and settle into a new home environment. Nesta is a "velcro" dog and will follow her person everywhere. She is an affectionate gale, wanting pets as much as she can get. Nesta started training with Sadie's Rules K9 training in February 2024, to further develop the confidence and manners to be the best version of herself. Nesta now has great manners, knows all the basic commands, and does best with a strict routine. She gets along with dogs, but isn't much of a player. She is ok with the kitties too. Nesta was fine with children in her previous foster home, but older children are recommended. This girl is high energy, but enjoys a simple life. Nesta is up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, spayed, crate trained, and housebroken. A good girl that is ready to show all she has learned in her new forever home.

Story
SSR rescued neglected Blue from death row. He is ready to begin his journey of freedom and love! Blue is sweet, goofy, loves his toys, and is friendly to all. He'd make a great family dog, loving the little dog savvy humans too. Blue will be great as a play buddy with another dog, he needs a companion. He may show a common resource guarding with food, so feeding in his "safe place", crate, has resolved his unsureness. This big boy is up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, neutered, crate trained, and housebroken. He does still have puppy chewing tendencies and could use some continued training, but he knows basic commands. He is doing well around dog savvy cats, meaning no harm if he chases. Blue boy does have skin allergies, more test are being done to pinpoint his allergy. For now, an allergy shot has done wonders for him. All of his bloodwork is proof that he is a healthy boy. He handles the utter and total chaos of his foster home with ease, he's seriously sweet! Blue will hypnotize you with his mournful eyes! Adopt Blue and he will be sure to take you to his bluey moments of love, laughter, and fun!             Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.  If you are an approved adopter and are interested in this dog, please let your case worker know.

Story
Milton has come so far and has learned to trust. Loyal Milton lived outside in TX, unloved and uncared for until his decline in health was noticed. SSR came to the rescue. Milton is a bit timid when initially meeting men, but he has turned the page! We can definitely say now that Milton has added men as a favorite human! This gentle boy is good with lower energy dogs, older children, and has curiosity for the kitties. Milton has some instability in his hind quarters, test reveal an old injury and is in no pain. He would benefit best with limited stairs and does well in grassy areas. Milton is up to date on vaccinations, neutered, housebroken, and crate trained. He weighs about 60 pounds and is such a good boy to leash walk. Milton is currently being treated for heartworm. A rare moment of excitement for Milton is when feeding time comes. He also responds well to the 'NO' command. Affectionate Milton is in search of a forever home to prove his loyalty, lay at your feet, and chill with you! Come meet marvelous Milton!
