Adopted*** Ranger (now named Blackjack) ***Adopted
 Ranger
is now Blackjack and has gone to be the brother to Cooper, a former SCARS
dog. Cooper is also an Australian Shepherd and so far, they are just sizing
each other up. Ranger had lots of energy but just couldn't handle the pack
of 50 dogs so he is much happier in a quiet environment!
Ranger is a male, 3 year old,
Australian Shepherd. He is
housebroken, neutered and gets along well with other animals and people.
Ranger weighs about 40 lbs. Somehow he either got lost or dumped, but all
efforts to find his owner have failed. He is a lively dog with lots of
energy, but is not hyperactive.
Ranger loves people and wants to socialize most of the time. He will
lie down quietly when he gets tired and is quiet at night!!

Adopted*** Pipsqueak ***Adopted
Remember Pipsqueak?? He was the
runt of the litter SCARS took in and he was taken to the emergency vet to be
put on IV's for severe dehydration. We were not sure he would ever get
well.  Pippi
was kept separate from his litter because he was not strong enough to play
with them so he stayed in his "penthouse apt" and watched TV with
Dad in the evenings. We wondered if anyone would ever want the runt, but
the perfect family came along, loved him and he is now a beloved
member of their family. A picture is worth a thousand words...here he is
with his two new human siblings and the look on the children's
faces tells us how much that puppy is loved!!
These four purebred lab pups are
all males. They have been wormed and will get their shots around April 26.
They will be ready for adoption when they are 8 weeks old (about May 4th).
View a short video of the ‘runt’
of the litter, Pipsqueak, by clicking here. He was very dehydrated and weak (with a
bacterial infection too) when he arrived at SCARS. He spent several days in the emergency
vet clinic and is now doing great.

Adopted*** Lab Pups ***Adopted
 Two
of the Lab pups have gone to the country to live with their new family.
They got to go together so each would have a buddy. Their human parents have
lots of time to spend with them and so far all is going well.
This big guy has gone off with
his new family and gets to go to work with Dad!! He rides in the truck
during the day and sleeps in the house at night. He has become a spoiled
only dog and is loving it.

Adopted*** Lucy ***Adopted
 Lucy is proof positive
there is the right home for every dog.
She was brought to us with complaints that she was destructive but,
Gee! – they  had her locked in a crate
all day. She was placed with family #2
who brought her back in a rage saying she was mean, snapped at everyone,
and they had been lied to about her disposition. So, we kept her here for a year and
finally put her on the website, explaining all of her supposed ills. We had no trouble with her other than
having to hold our ears for her Beagle bark which sometimes woke farmers 10
miles away. Since then Lucy has
found her forever home with a family of two boy Beagles who have come to
like their new little female playmate, lots of grandchildren who love her,
and, wow … she adores the one year old and never snaps!!
 When I stopped by one
day, Lucy was sleeping on the back of the sofa in front of the window. She greeted me happily and then sat down
on her new owner’s lap. When I left,
I admit to having tears in my eyes.
Thanks goodness for the families who realize pets are animals and
must be treated with care and patience.
They are rewarded in full measure.
Lucy is a 3 year old, female
Beagle. She is spayed and UTD on
shots and weighs around 25-30 lbs.
Lucy was brought to SCARS in
disgrace. She had been "thrown out" of three homes before we took
her in. Here are the reasons why
* tried to nip the kids when they
grabbed her
* had occasional accidents in the
house
* had a piercing beagle howl
* gave them "funny
looks"(she glares at you if she thinks you are coming over to grab her
or steal the toy in her mouth)
So ... we have kept her here for
almost a year under observation and all of this is true. It is also true that
she will warm up to you if you give her attention, loves to sleep under the
covers at night and is probably the cutest beagle we have ever seen. Everyone who comes out adores her, but of
course they don’t have to put up with her quirks!! If she doesn't
find the right home, she will just stay here with us.

Adopted*** Ben ***Adopted
We have been waiting and waiting
for the right home to come along for Ben, and it finally has. He is one of the sweetest dogs we have
ever had. Now he is off to his new
home with loving parents and lots of relatives who will visit – including
canine relatives. His first two days
have gone well and he is adjusting.
Ben has been patiently waiting to belong to a family and now he
does.
  Ben
is a six month old, male, Labradoodle/ Wirehaired Terrier mix. He weighs
about 70 lbs, is neutered, up to date on shots, and loves everybody. Ben
has lots of energy and wants to run and play with other dogs. He is well
behaved in the car and walks well on a leash. This young guy has a gorgeous
blonde wavy coat and is one of the cutest dogs ever!

Adopted*** Molly ***Adopted
Molly is a 2 year old,
female, purebred Boxer. She is a puppy mill rescue but ready and willing
to become a normal family dog. Molly is spayed, up to date on shots, and
almost housebroken. She needs a loving patient family to bring her into the
real world of love and affection, not cages and neglect. She is a beautiful dog and would love a chance
to have her own family.

Sasha is a three year old, female

time for her anymore.

Adopted*** Greta Garbo ***Adopted
Greta
has finally found the right family for her!
She has three human siblings and two parents who think she is just
great the way she is. She had way
too much energy for her prior placement but her new, young family can keep
up with her. We feel it was worth
the wait since she is such a doll.
 This
cute gal is 9 months old, spayed, and up to date on shots. She is housebroken and crate trained.
Greta is a wire haired terrier and weighs in at about 20 lbs. Her former owner has experienced some
serious health problems and can no longer care for her. Greta has a
lively personality and loves to play with dogs and people!! Isn’t she just the cutest thing?!
