RILEY
Riley got his name from the recreation area where he was found.
He'd been abandoned at the campground for about a week and was surviving
by stealing food in the middle of the night. Campers were angry about
this and often hit him, kicked him and threw rocks at him! He's a
truly sweet dog who deserves a loving, forever home. He's a yellow
Lab/shepherd mix and is about 1 1/2 - 2 years old (finished growing, but
still very much a puppy!). He walks very well on a leash, loves chew toys,
watching TV, swimming at the lake (he jumps off the dock on his own), riding in
the boat and in the truck. He gets along great with small children, other
dogs and cats. He sleeps like a champ too! He can sit, and his foster family
is working on "down" and "stay" and crate training at night. He's
already housetrained, is very smart, and learns quickly. He likes to
be near people and wants to be indoors as a loved family member.

ELROD, aka "EL"
El is a male Irish wolfhound mix about 1½ years old. He is smaller than a full-bred Irish
wolfhound. He is a bit underweight, according to the vet, and being the large breed that he is, he
is likely to keep growing on through his second year of age. He is gentle, but also very
playful and outgoing. Brush him a bit, and he will roll over on his back and be your friend for life.
El was abandoned by his owner at a boarding kennel, along with our cat, Annie, and he gets along with
her just fine--so he should be o.k. in a home with a cat. On our first visit with him to the vet, he
was a perfect gentleman--not a bit nervous, except at first about the funny table that went up and
down--he wasn't sure he wanted to ride on it. He tolerated his blood test, shots, and microchipping
without a hint of complaint--he was just so happy to be getting attention and having his ears rubbed.
Outside, when a lady walked by wearing a large-brimmed hat, he gave her one little bark...then did
a cute play bow to get her attention, and promptly flopped on his back for a tummy rub once he had
enticed her to come over and pet him. For his large size, El is manageable on the leash, and he
knows "sit." Because he is very attentive and eager to please, he will no doubt take
well to additional training and be an amazing companion.

PIERRE
Pierre is a perky, friendly little white poodle, around 3 years old. He arrived at the animal
shelter with a front foot that was turned under and could not be repaired, so he has had surgery
to remove his left front leg. This has in no way affected his mobility or his cheerful attitude.
Pierre is in a foster home and is doing very well there, getting along fine with the children, the
cat, and the other dog in the home. He is housetrained, and he has no trouble keeping pace on his
daily walks. He is a real sweetheart who deserves a loving family to cuddle with.

MAIZY
Maizy is young adult female, probably 1 - 2 years old. This girl
is bouncing with energy and curiousity, but she makes frequent stops for some loving and
attention. She weighs roughly 20-25 pounds, and like all SARG animals, she is spayed and
microchipped. Our first impressions are that she is fine with other dogs and children.
Update: As we've learned more about Maizy, we have found that she is a climber--and she
is not too friendly with cats. We also think she looks very much like a "puggle"--
beagle/pug mix. Maizy is very active, but she's also a snuggler and very sweet.

RINGO
Mr. Ringo came to us from the shelter at the same time we got Maizy. Based on their looks,
they could be siblings, but we have no reason to think that they are. They do seem to have
become pals, though. Ringo weighs approximately 25 pounds, is very active and
loves to run. He has those hound ears as well, but with a nice, trim body. Ringo is probably
1 - 2 years old, friendly, and seems fine with other dogs. We aren't too sure about cats.
Ringo is super fun and playful, but he also lets you hold him like a baby and will fall
asleep in your arms.

KODIAK
Kodiak is 1 to 2 years old and a male Australian cattle dog mix. He is great with kids and other
dogs, and seemed just fine in a roomful of cats at the shelter.

LEXUS
Lexus is a 2½-year-old Black Lab mix. She had some birth defects that
required orthopedic surgery on her rear legs, but Lexus is now sporting healthy legs and
is longing for a permanent home.
Lexus is currently in a foster home with another SARG foster dog, plus the
homeowner’s dog (a former SARG dog). She has a wonderful disposition and
wants/gives lots of love.
She is crate trained in that she feels comfortable to sleep in her crate and
goes to it for meals in the a.m. and p.m. to be fed, as well as bed time.
Lexus is housetrained; when the other dogs go outside during the night, she will
go out and come right back inside and go back in her crate. She is on a
special diet to control crystals in her urine; because this food is rather
expensive, prospective adopters must consider this when applying for Lexus.
Lexus likes to play with toys and other dogs. She loves to have a kiddie pool to
"dunk" herself in and would
probably love to be near a body of water, but she has not been exposed to a
pool or lake.
Lexus would make a wonderful pet for any family. Although she is a big dog,
she is very gentle and loving; and is good with children and loves tummy
rubs by anyone.
Lexus would require a fenced yard; she loves to sun herself most of the day
in the yard, but also loves to have the freedom to enter the house when
desired; however, visits inside are infrequent -- her choosing!
Lexus would make any family a wonderful pet; she is sweet, kind, gentle and
loving.

LITTLE JOHN
Little John is a beautiful male, perhaps two years old, who we think looks like a flat-coated
retriever mix. He gets along well with others, including other dogs and cats. We have not tested
him yet with children. He is a high-energy boy who would especially enjoy a fenced yard where
he can run. He also loves attention and petting.

MARIO
Mario is a frisky, active little male cocker spaniel, all black except for a little white patch
on his chest. He is about 6 years old and weighs 21 pounds. He is very alert and interested in
everything when he is outside, and seems to be friendly with other dogs and very loving and
affectionate with people.

NEELA
Neela is a female German shepherd mix, probably around a year old, weighing 41.5 lbs. She's full of
energy and loves to be in the middle of everything going on around her. She'd love to have a very active
family that would include her in their activities. She has aspiring dreams of becoming an agility champion,
she can climb/jump a 4-foot fence, so she will need either a 6-foot fence (preferably wooden) or daily
leashed walks/runs. She would do best in a home without other dogs. She's currently doing very well with
her crate training. She's learning to ring a bell to go outside
to potty. She's doing well with sit, down, focus, leave it and stay. She loves to play in the baby pool
her foster family has outside for her.

CHLOE
Chloe is a 8-month-old Cavalier King Charles spaniel mix. She has that cute
under-bite that some of us think is so adorable. She is housetrained and has had
basic obedience training. However, she is full of puppy energy and quite a busy little
girl. Like all SARG animals, she is spayed and microchipped.

SHORTY
Shorty is probably a mixture of yellow Lab and Basset hound. He has the head and coloring
of a perfect yellow lab, and the long body and short legs of a Basset. He has a pleasant
personality and loves attention and walks. He is living in a foster home where he will
be working on housetraining and obedience. He is about 2 years old and weighs about 27
pounds. Shorty needs to be in a home without small children.
