Skeeter

By Adoptable Dogs No Comments

This amazing old soul is about 10 years old. He is likely a Great
Dane/Boxer mix and weighs just over 80lbs. He is a fit older gentleman and
loves to go for walks and is even trained to go for walks along side a
bike.
Our hearts hurt for Skeeter because he had a wonderful owner his entire
life. His owner was a homebody and did not have any friends or family…
just Skeeter. They lived in a small town in Missouri and the entire
community knew Skeeter and his owner. They would ride into town, owner on a
bike and Skeeter walking beside. Whenever his person needed to go into a
store Skeeter would be tied outside the door and would wait patiently until
his person came back.
Unfortunately, Skeeter’s best friend died recently. Due to the fact he did
not have any family or friends, no one knew he had passed for days. Finally
people started to notice they hadn’t seen him or Skeeter and when the
police did a welfare check they found them.
Skeeter has lost everything. He ended up being impounded at the local
animal control and unfortunately that area has a large pet overpopulation
problem. The shelters and rescues are so overcrowded and overwhelmed that
they can hardly keep up. Skeeter started having seizures at the impound.
The fact that he was old, a large breed and now had a medical issue meant
that his chances of leaving there alive was next to none.
Someone posted him on Facebook and explained his story and that was shared.
It was shared enough times that we saw it. We do not normally pull out of
state animals because there are so many in need here, however we knew he
fit our mission perfectly. So we offered to take him.
He arrived this week and we were able to get all of his vetting updated.
Thankfully he was started on a seizure medication prior to coming to us. He
has not had any seizures since being on them so we feel he is well managed.
It is a twice a day medication and fairly inexpensive.
Skeeter loves people and would love nothing more than retiring to a home
where people were around most of the time. He is a slow going guy and a
great couch buddy. He gets along great with dogs. We don’t know how he is
with cats but he didn’t seem interested in them at the clinic. He would be
fine with children. He is house trained.

Wilson

By Adoptable Dogs No Comments

This is another incredible dog who was dumped simply because he has a
special need. Wilson is about 2 years old and he is one of the most
beautiful Black Labs you have ever seen. Weighing in at 75lbs, this sleek,
jet black boy is a true gem.
Wilson has a condition called SARDS (Sudden acquired retinal degeneration
syndrome). SARDS is poorly understood condition that causes rapid and
irreversible blindness in dogs. It affects the retina, the structure at the
back of the eye that works like a camera’s film.
Unfortunately, there is no treatment or cure for this condition and at this
time Wilson is almost completely blind. He is definitely getting use to
this new blindness, but his is taking this condition as a champ.
Wilson’s previous owners turned him in to a local shelter as a “stray” and
honestly, it is their loss. This boy is simply amazing! He is alert, loyal
and knows many commands. He loves people and adventures and dogs. He would
love to be with an active family because he needs to be busy🙂

Delilah

By Adoptable Dogs No Comments

This sweet lady was found wandering the city streets with a fractured
elbow. A good Samaritan found her and brought her to the emergency clinic.
She was then transferred to animal control and no owner was found.
When Delilah arrived, we sent her x-rays to our amazing orthopedic surgeon
and she said she would attempt to fix the fracture. Unfortunately, when she
opened up the area it was determined that it was not repairable. We moved
forward with amputation so that she doesn’t have lifelong pain.
Delilah is about 6 months old and our guesses on breeds are all over the
place haha 😄. She has a thick coat like an Akita and a square
head from possibly boxer. She is currently around 30lbs and sweet a pie.
She gets along with other dogs and is a typical puppy. We know she would do
well in any home ❤️

Mort

By Adoptable Dogs No Comments
Meet Mort!
This beautiful boy was the product of a puppy mill. If you haven’t heard of them, please look them up. He is half Siberian Husky and half Australian Shepherd. Please research both breeds before applying for Mort. They are WORKING breeds and they need a job to do. If they are made to sit in the house all day, they will go crazy and make their own job aka mess. They need an active family/person that expends the energy they have. Huskies were born to run… a lot. Aussies were born to herd… everything. Put those together and you have a dog that can keep up with children but also tend to “herd” them.
Mort was surrendered to us when he had severely enlarged eyeballs. We brought him to the Veterinary Ophthalmologist and he was diagnosed with Glaucoma. Unfortunately, the damage was already done and he couldn’t see. He was also in a lot of pain. The only way to solve this issue was to surgically remove both of his eyes. The change in him was almost immediate! He was happier and more playful, he wasn’t worried about running around and living life as a puppy!
Mort was born on 1/16/25 and he is currently about 30#. He will likely be 50-60# full grown. He gets around well and LOVES people. He LOVES cuddling and he is learning the leash so well. He also LOVES other dogs. He would do best in a home with another dog to help him learn the ropes as both a blind dog and a puppy.
If you are looking for a one of a kind boy who will bring you joy everyday, look no further!

Val

By Adoptable Dogs No Comments

Before the holidays, we were made aware of a dog that was placed in a garbage bag and thrown out of the window of a car onto the side of a freeway. Thankfully, the people behind the car stopped when they saw the bag moving. When they realized it was a terrified, malnourished dog, they jumped into action and got her to safety.
Fast-forward, Val is living the good life in her foster home! She has gained weight and her wounds have healed. She is now ready to find her forever home!
Valerie is a young gal with a heart as big as her beautiful smile. Since joining her foster home, she’s grown in so many ways. Valerie is a quick learner and has been excelling in her basic obedience training. She’s also discovered the joy of toys and loves playing independently—but her greatest joy comes from spending time with her humans.
Affection is Valerie’s love language! Whether it’s snuggling under the covers at bedtime or on the couch, playing, going for walks, or training, she thrives on human connection. She even does amazing in the car and enjoys being by your side wherever the adventure takes you.
Valerie has limited exposure to cats but would do best in a home without them. She’s met a variety of dogs and prefers the company of her humans only. It does not mean that she cannot go out in public. It just means after the trauma she has been through likely from a young age, she just means she would like to find a homebody that just wants to hang out with her.
Valerie is the perfect combination of beauty and brains, and she’s ready to be someone’s devoted companion.
If you’re ready to treat Valerie like the princess she is, she’ll reward you with a lifetime of love, loyalty, and snuggles.

Tyrell

By Adoptable Dogs No Comments

A beautiful Husky – Shep – Shar Pei mix whose not quite sure of the world yet! Here’s what you gotta know about this funny fella!

  • Good with dogs but very inappropriate with boundaries and does not read social queues, particularly with other males.
  • Has some basic obedience but requires training on most other aspects.
  • LOVES humans and forms bonds very quickly
  • Displays a lot of fear towards new things or environments, lots of life introductions required.
  • Unlikely to be good with cats, but likely to be good with older kids

Tyrell is a spunky, playful guy who’s not been given a proper start to life. Let’s show him that the world’s not so scary and get him a home.
