Story

Meet Rosie 🌹 Rosie is a 10-year-old, 38 lb Australian Shepherd with a gentle, sensitive soul looking for a calm, patient home. She forms a deep bond with her person and is happiest when she feels safe and close by your side. She is housebroken and currently working on leash and crate training. When frightened, Rosie may pull hard on the leash trying to get away, so she’ll need an adopter experienced with leash work or willing to work with a trainer. She is making great progress and gaining confidence every day. Rosie can be sensitive around men and will need slow, respectful introductions. She shows interest and excitement toward smaller dogs from a distance (not formally tested yet) and can adjust to a slightly larger calm dog. She does best with gentle, relaxed dogs, not ones that are overly energetic or in her face. A secure fenced yard is strongly preferred, ideally with some privacy to help her feel safe while outside. Rosie will still need to stay on a leash in the yard, as she can become nervous and try to bolt. This safe space will help her continue building confidence. Rosie can be a bit picky with food (she does best with wet food or meat mixed in with her dry food), but she always eats when she likes it. Rosie will be a project dog, but for the right, dog-savvy person, she is an incredibly rewarding companion. She’s looking for someone patient, understanding, and willing to let her set the pace, who will cherish the quiet, loyal bond she has to offer. 🌸•🌸•🌸•🌸•🌸•🌸•🌸•🌸•🌸 Note from Shelter: Rosie is a 10-year-old, 38 lb spayed female who is heartworm negative and was owner surrendered when her owner could no longer care for her. It appears Rosie lived a very sheltered life prior to arriving at the shelter and had never been walked on a leash. Since intake, Rosie has been extremely fearful and shut down in the kennel environment, often trembling, avoiding eye contact, and freezing when approached. She frequently refuses to walk on leash and will need to be carried to quieter spaces. Despite her fear, Rosie consistently allows handling, petting, and medical care without any signs of aggression. She remains gentle and tolerant even during stressful situations. When placed in a quiet office setting with familiar dogs from her previous home, Rosie shows encouraging signs of comfort and social connection. She seeks out the other dogs, choosing to curl up beside them and rest, and will cautiously explore the room once she feels safe. As she becomes more comfortable, her body softens and the trembling subsides. Rosie is a sensitive, gentle senior who appears deeply overwhelmed by the shelter environment but finds reassurance in calm canine companionship. She would greatly benefit from a patient rescue that can provide a quiet home, time to decompress, and gentle guidance to help her build confidence and feel safe again.

Story

Scout is a LOVER! He wants to keep his bonded person in sight at all times! He does not understand the concept of Personal Space! Definitely a Velcro dog AFTER you earn his trust. Scout needs someone who is breed specific experienced. He will require a few meet and greets before you take him home. He needs the best opportunity to succeed and that includes meeting him multiple times so he can get to know you and you can earn his trust. He is crate trained. He will go into the crate quickly at meal times now! In the mornings, he is very excited to see me and Jumps around in the crate and barks. He does settle down quickly He needs to be taught it ALL…manners, how to play with toys, which is obvious he never has.😢 The good news is he likes treats, so there is food motivation! He is stand offish to strangers in the house and growls. He is wonderful with my two dogs! He has shown no aggression to them. Loves them. Plays with them! My cat he is curious about, he sits next to her and watches her. When she jumps down, he follows her, no chasing. HE IS SMART. With patience, positive reinforcement and consistency Scout is going to be an AMAZING pet! I believe he would do great with someone who works from home or is home more often than not. Whoever is the lucky person to adopt him, will have a best friend! You will just need to be patient while he learns to trust you❤️ He is a digger…

Size

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Russell is a 10 year old Australian Shepherd who absolutely loves people and thrives on human companionship. He is incredibly affectionate and happiest when he is close to his person, often following you from room to room just to be near you. He does get excited when greeting people and may jump up, usually because he wants to give face kisses and soak up attention. Russell would do best in a calm, adult home where he can be the only pet. He is not comfortable around cats, other dogs, or young children. He really thrives in a quieter environment where he can relax and enjoy one-on-one time with his person. Someone who is home often would be ideal for him because he truly loves constant companionship. This has been a very difficult decision for our family. Russell has become constantly stressed in our home environment and is fearful around young children. We want him to have the peaceful home he deserves where he can feel safe, relaxed, and loved.

Story

If there was a knucklehead ox below I would check it, LOL. Bron is the last of a litter of 4 to find a home. He is a sweet guy and once he has had time to warm up, be becomes a charming guy who will sleep in your bed if you let him. He did not have the opportunity to get properly socialized as a young pup due to health issues of the original rescue foster. He just completed several weeks of board & train to help him become more confident BUT he still needs a little work. He is going to make some lucky human a terrific companion if they just take the time to work with him.

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

This handsome boy is 3-year-old Moby and he's waiting for you at Satchel's! Moby can be a little shy of strangers but warms up quickly. He enjoys his walks with volunteers, followed by a nice cool down in the kiddie pool while he waits at the gate for his turn to return to his kennel. Moby is full of energy and is currently working with a trainer to learn basic understanding of what is acceptable behavior. Note from a volunteer: "Moby is a darling and very smart. He’s a “back scratch” grass loving boy who prefers water over land any day. He should’ve been a fish 🐠." For an appointment to meet Moby, please submit the adoption application (no commitment) found at satchelslastresort.org.
