Story
Rambunctious, full of life, and even a bit of a trickster, our outgoing boy Tucker is a whirlwind of energy. He has done both obedience training and agility training. He has worked with a few of our volunteers, and has a special bond with his Woof pack member. He is incredibly smart and once his zoomies are out, takes directions very well. He walks very well when he has his harness on and long walks are welcomed. Tucker loves to jump in the pool to cool off or even just a nice spray down with the hose. Tucker has been interested in other canine buddies, and has had a female yard buddy. When it's time to relax, he loves curling up on a blanket. While Tucker is amazing, he still has a lot of training to go in order to be the greatest he can be. Tucker loves play time, but is very stingy with his toys, treats and food. He has shown a protective nature with these things particularly and needs patience and reassurance that his precious things will continue to be his. It is because of his resource guarding that we encourage a more seasoned dog owner for this extroverted boy, with an active life style and a fenced in yard for him to run around in. We also hope that his new family will continue his training and even further his training and education in doggy educate. For an appointment to meet Tucker, please submit the adoption application (no commitment) at www.satchelslastresort.org, and an adoption counselor will be in touch.

Story
* Medical Special Needs * Meet Crystal. What do you see when you look at Crystal? An overbred momma dog? A dog that had a horrible person chop off her ears? A dog that was left inside a crate at an abandoned property? You know what we see? Unconditional love, this girl wants affection and love so badly. She craves to be told she is a good girl, a warm leg to lean on. She is beautiful to us both inside and out. You will see that too when you come meet her and give her a chance. She enjoys a bath and belly rub, hugs and a romp in the yard but her favorite thing to do is hang out with people who love her. Sometimes it will take her a little while to warm up to new people, but the wait is so worth it. She is just a big love bug. She is not fond of other dogs. She can go for walks with them but not exist together in a house or come face to face. She is obsessed with cats so if you are interested in her, you can't have any of those either. She does have cancer (cutaneous hemangiosarcoma). It manifests itself with sores and blood blisters on her stomach and these will pop occasionally and bleed. Eventually the disease will go to her spleen. Her survival can be a few years with this type of cancer by the time it has spread to the spleen. Are you the person to love and provide care for Crystal for her remaining years? If so, please submit the adoption application (no commitment) found on our website, www.satchelslastresort.org, and an adoption counselor will be in touch.

Story
Looking for a handsome stud muffin with the best smile in town? Well look no further, our buddy Andi is not only easy on the eyes with his white and grey coat but his smile is enough to brighten anyone's day! This fun loving boy loves to play and have a good time. He adores having all kinds of toys but his favorite is a basic tennis ball. His favorite spot at Satchel's is the agility play yard and he has mastered the jumps, A-frame, see-saw and tire tunnel! As a food motivated guy, he has proven quick to learn new behaviors. He is extremely loving and wishes only to spend time with those he loves. When you join his circle, there is no better greeting than from Andi, he always lets you know how much he cares by leg leans, playful jumping and kisses. Andi has a Woof Pack leader here at Satchel's and they are working on his acceptance of new people. He is a big supporter of leisurely strolls and walks very well on leash. He does get distracted a bit, wanting to catch lizards he finds here and there, but listens when it's time to rest. He loves car rides and with that giant smile and ears flopping in the wind, you can't resist sharing that happiness. This gentle soul does need patience when meeting him the first time or two, since his trust is not so easy to gain. He is protective of the people he cares most about and would do anything for them. He also is not the fondest of other dogs and would prefer to be your main squeeze rather than share. There is so much love in Andi's heart and we here at Satchel's Last Resort would love for you to take the time to also get to know this amazing canine and his brilliant smile! For an appointment to meet Andi, please submit the adoption application (no commitment) found on our website, www.satchelslastresort.org, and an adoption counselor will be in touch.

Story
Are you are looking for a muscle-bound man with a sensitive side or a "bro" to go jogging with? Let me introduce you to Attila. This charming boy knows his basic commands. Attila has a Woof Pack leader here at Satchel's and they are working with his leash skills as he is currently a bit of a puller. He loves to be with his people so much, that it doesn't seem that he knows he is a dog. He will need to be an only four-legged child as he does not seem to care for other dogs or cats. He loves the pool and would benefit from an active home. He loves toys and has a very gentle mouth with people. While he has a lot of energy, he is also content to cuddle up and be loved. For an appointment to meet 7-year-old Atilla, please submit the adoption application (no commitment) found on our website, www.satchelslastresort.org, and an adoption counsellor will be in touch.

Story
Adventurous, playful, and non stop fun is what best describes our girl Princess. For an 11year-old Pittie mix, she has the energy of a pup half her age. She is always happy to make new friends and has the honor of getting introduced to both new and seasoned volunteers. She loves people and has gone to quite a few of our events with her Woof Pack leader, making friends and showing off, while she works on her leash walking skills. She enjoys going for car rides, or long walks if it's not too hot, though a dip in the pool always helps. She is a force to be reckoned with when she has her giant red ball in the yard, as she pushes it all over. Princess is obsessed with water, and her favorite thing is getting sprayed with the hose, though the hose doesn't always make it back alive. She loves her toys, both soft squishy ones and hard durable ones for chewing. She can be a little dog selective and won't be pushed around, but could likely share her home with a docile comrade. After a long day of play and visits, she comes back in to take a nice long nap on a cushy bed, treats always waiting for her return. Princess is looking for the perfect family to finally give her the crown and let her be Queen of the house. This wonderful girl deserves the royal treatment, and would make any home a castle. For an appointment to meet her, please submit an adoption application (no commitment) found on our websitte, satchelslastresort.org/adopt/, and an adoption counselor will get back to you.

Meet Brew! This beautiful boy is looking for a home where he can enjoy outdoor play, car rides, and time with special people in his life. If Brew could speak, here is what he would tell you about himself.... "I'm a bit on the shy side, but once I know you, I am your best friend for life. Loud noises and commotion scare me, so I'll need a calm quiet home. I know basic commands and am very treat motivated when learning new tasks. I have made new friends here at Satchels, two-legged and four-legged. I'm not sure how I feel about cats as I've never met one. I enjoy walks on my leash, although I might still pull if I spy a squirrel! My Woof Pack leader helps me adjust to new places and new routines. She says that she adores me! For an appointment to meet Brew, please submit an application (no commitment) found on our website at Satchelslastresort.org/adopt and an adoption counselor will get back to you!

Meet Mickey! Mickey was an owner surrender to us with his sister Ruby. Mickey is current on vaccinations and is friendly with everyone and everything! Mickey has a high prey drive, so he will need an experienced adopter. Due to their bond, we would like Mickey and Ruby to go to the same home if possible but it’s not a requirement. For more up to date information on this dog please go to our website @ https://www.playk9rescue.org/adopt-a-dog The adoption fee for this pet covers the cost of care and training which may have been for several weeks or several months depending on the health and training needs. The fee also covers all vet bills during this time to ensure his/her health is improved or maintained and provides you with assurance that this dog has been well cared for while in our possession and evaluated to meet your home's needs. Included in this fee is also life- long training support provided by PLAY! K9 Academy located in Bradenton, FL as well as Life time microchip registration. When you adopt from a local shelter, you may not receive any medical history for this dog nor will you receive any behavioral history. We hope you understand that the minimal adoption fee we are asking is to continue our mission to rescue unwanted herding and working breeds from shelters/owners and get them adopted to their forever home.

Story
Allman is the definition of a Boxer, from his looks to his personality traits! This 7-year-old boy is always looking for opportunity to play, and loves making everything a game. He is a great ball player and may not always bring it back, but his enthusiasm keeps the game going. He enjoys carrying toys around wherever he goes, squeaky toys are super fun, but Kong toys are also wonderful. He also has a prankster side with shoes and likes to untie your laces when you are walking. He is loyal to his friends here at Satchel's but can be a bit picky. He takes a little time to get to know people and, although he is high energy, he prefers a calm first-time meeting. Allman has a Woof Pack leader here at Satchel's and they are working on his acceptance of new people. Once accepted, Allman is a loving, playful, intelligent boy who can't wait to be with you. He walks very well on a leash and loves going on adventures. He knows his basic commands and with treats, he can do them with a swiftness. Allman would be the perfect canine companion for someone who loves being active or has a love for and understanding of the Boxer breed. He would do well with a fenced in yard, or multiple walks to get some of the energy down. For an appointment to meet Allman, please submit the adoption application (no-commitment) found on our website, www.satchelslastresort.org, and an adoption counselor will be in touch.

Bull Terrier American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 8 yrs
Sarasota, FL
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
This happy girl lives up to her name, a sassy personality indeed. Sassafras is an adult beauty, with a brilliant smile that brightens anyone's day. She is the life of the party and loves to be the center of attention. She can not wait to go outside and either go in the yards and sniff everything possible, or go on a brisk walk, leading the way. Sassy is protective of her space and loyal to her friends but will welcome new people into her circle with a slow introduction. She doesn't seem to mind the company of some canines, but we have found her to be selective and she would prefer to have the people all to herself. She adores toys and goes for the stuffed squeaky toys every time. She will chase balls to the point of exhaustion but her favorite past time is water play. When given the opportunity, she loves splashing in a wading pool, chasing the spray of a hose and swimming in the bay. She is very treat motivated, which is helpful in her learning of basic obedience. Curling up in a comfy bed or cuddled up with a friend is the best way to end her day. If you're looking for that missing piece of love in your life, Sassafras could be the perfect dose to fill your heart. For an appointment to meet Sassafras, please submit the adoption application (no commitment) found on our website, www.satchelslastresort.org, and an adoption counselor will be in touch.
