Expert belly rubber wanted! Victoria is a small black Lab/hound mix who wants nothing more than to have her belly rubbed and to be right next to someone cuddling. She is young, lovable, outgoing, and active. She is about a year old and weighs 37 pounds. Victoria really enjoys her daily zoomie sessions around the yard and needs a secure fence. She is incredibly fast and agile and would probably do very well in agility training. Her foster family has been working on sit and stay during feeding time and when at the door before going outside. She is also doing very well with her crate training and can do about 4-6 hours. When she hears the treat bag open, she's in her crate patiently waiting for it. Squeaky toys are her favorite; she gets very excited. Her current favorite is an orange caterpillar that she wants to take everywhere with her. There are foster kittens in the household that she is a little too interested in, so she probably would do best in a household with no cats. She would be perfect for someone who is home a good portion of the day and who wants a constant companion and best friend.

Lightning is a 9-year-old Chihuahua mix. He weighs 9.5 pounds. He gets along well with cats and the other dogs in his foster home. He is a lovable little guy. His favorite pastime is snuggling under a blanket next to his human. He is housetrained, but still may have an accident on occasion. Lightning would do well in a low-energy home.

Petey, formerly known as CT, is loving life in his foster home. He was recently sprung from the vet clinic and has been learning new things. He quickly learned and adjusted to the doggie door as well as meeting 3 new dogs. He has also adjusted to a new routine and decided that it's in his best interest to share toys, couch time and pets. He's had good house manners so far. Petey may not have had much exposure to new things and can be easily startled, not usually from the perspective of fear -- more so from so many things being new to him. He's learned the sound of the garage door opener, coffee pot, trash truck, trains, etc. He likes to go for walks but could use a little leash work. He doesn't pull, just wants to see everything. Petey has definitely come a long way in the few weeks he's been at his foster home. He is a good-natured guy who would do great in an adult home who has time for him. He's a little shadow with his foster mom right now and hangs out in her office while she works during the day. He follows her wherever she goes. He is learning that his foster dad is good guy and is quite generous with treats. Petey likes playing with one of his foster brothers and would probably do well in a home with another dog who likes to play. In spite of his small size (about 12 pounds), he does play a bit rough, so having a furry friend his size or larger would be best. He would not do well with small children, as he is easily startled and sometimes likes to mouth things. He is a delightful little fellow who will make someone a wonderful companion.

Mochi is a dark-apricot-colored, female miniature-poodle mix. She is about 10 years old and weighs 11 pounds. Our vet says she appears to be healthy, except that she needs a dental, which she will get soon. Mochi walks o.k. on a leash, but she really likes to walk on her back feet and can go backward as well as forward. She also likes to be held and seems to like everyone she meets.

Sophia was rescued by MoCo Mutts in Morgan county, from a possible hoarding situation ... at least, many more pets than could be cared for. She came to SARG at the end of May and was immediately the darling of the folks at the vet's office where she was staying. She was first fostered and then adopted by one of the staff, and she was gone before she even made it onto our website. She's now living the good life in her forever home.

Beauti is a small senior Pomeranian mix female. She has a cute underbite and is sweet and calm. She is on antibiotics for Lyme disease currently and will be finished with it and ready for her forever home in mid-October.

Oliver received an adoption application before he ever made it onto the SARG web page, from someone who had seen him before he left the animal shelter. Just like that, he was gone before we knew he was here. He is now in his forever home and is clearly a very happy boy.

Bentley's foster mom gave him that name because he has the elegant bearing of a dog who would look perfectly at home driving in a Bentley belonging to the lord of an English manor home. But actually, Bentley, a 7-year-old, 45-pound English setter, would fit into any household. He does beautifully with children, other dogs, and cats, walks easily on a leash, and is housetrained. He loves to go on walks, but he is also an easy-going couch potato at home. He has perfect house manners and does not chew or bark. He is a little afraid of thunderstorms, but a loving hug will calm him right down. He knows the commands "sit" and "stay" and is very quick to learn new routines. Whoever gives Bentley a forever home will be getting a truly wonderful furry family member.

Summer is an adorable poodle mix who is about 5½ years old and weighs approximately 11 pounds. Summer is still settling in at her foster home and has been learning a lot. She is working on her housebreaking skills and is making very good progress. She gets along well with the other dogs and cat in her foster home. Summer likes to play with her crinkle toys and snuggle beside her person on the couch while watching television. More information about Summer will be posted soon.
