Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.This group was rescued from a byb situation with 28 other dogs and an elderly caregiver who eventually found herself in an overwhelming situation that needed to be rectified.  Despite the less than ideal situation, this little group is learning what it's like to live in stable situations, receive individual attention, and are doing very well coming out of their shells <3 Best guess, no guarantees, is that these kids are small breed mixes, possibly Lhasa Apso/Poodle/Shih Tzu? - but Mr. Sam-Sam, well he sure looks like an Affenpinscher (or maybe  Brussels Griffon)Meet Sam-SamAffectionately, this little Wookie/Chewbacca guy might be straight out of Star Wars!  Whatever he is, he is adorable. Sam Sam has started to show us he likes a less hectic life and snuggle time on the couch with both his human and fur foster family.  He's so easy to snuggle with that adorable face and soft fur. And his personality is very soft and he can be an observer.  He's going to love a quiet home where he can take his time getting used to his surroundings and family. Sam-Sam is about 2 years old, and 15bs. Sam-Sam is neutered, up-to-date on core vaccines, dewormed, current on flea preventative, and can be microchipped! ____________________________________________________________________**If you are interested, YOU NEED TO APPLY.  Also, a follow-up email to info@safeatlast.net is strongly recommended.

Story
Meet St. Nick – A Sweet Shih Tzu Looking for a Loving Retirement Home! Hi, my name is Nick, and I’m a 12-year-old Shih Tzu just looking for a cozy home to spend my golden years. Life hasn’t always been easy for me—I came to the rescue in rough shape, and I only have one eye, but don’t let that fool you! I see just fine and get around like a pro. I have a bit of a cat-like personality—I like affection on my terms and will let you know when I want some love. Once I’m comfortable, I’ll come over for lots of pets, then retreat back to my bed for a nice snooze. My foster family says I’m a truly endearing little fellow. I’m currently in a foster home with dogs and cats, and I don’t mind them at all. I’m neutered, up to date on all my shots, and fully vetted—I’m just waiting for the right person to take me home! If you’re looking for a low-key, independent, but loving companion, I might be the perfect match. Will you give me a chance?

Story
Loaded Tater Tots is even cuter (and smaller!) in person - pictures don't do justice! She is truly the sweetest pup. Personality & Characteristics: She LOVES to cuddle and will take any and every opportunity to crawl into your lap. At just 12 weeks old (and just two pounds!), she is already an expert at using her wee wee pads, knows how to (and loves to) play fetch, and especially loves meal time.  3 Keywords for your pup: Cuddly, playful, tiny! My foster dog is: Quickly learning to use her wee wee pads and sleep through the night; barely, if any, shedding. Barker? Or Quiet Pup?: She initially had some separation anxiety, and would bark if she was scared she was alone, but is spending more and more time in her crate and adjusting so well!  Energy Level (1= calm, 10= high energy): 1 when resting or cuddling, 8 when playing with toys Walking Manners: N/A (she is currently an indoor only pup!) Appetite: LOVES FOOD! Favorite Things: Sitting on your lap, cuddling, playing fetch/tug of war with toys, meal time! Commands/Tricks: She sits when she sees that her food is being prepared, and is starting to learn how to sit for treats.  ALL adoptions require a completed application and final contract. The application can be found at  WaldosRescue.org  and once you are approved to adopt you will be put in touch with the foster to see if it’s a good match. We are a RESCUE not a shelter. We conduct veterinary and personal reference checks during the application approval process. We are unable to contact every applicant for every dog.  We will select the best applicant for each dog, based on the dogs needs.
