Dog Success Stories

Milka and Maura (on right) - Adoption Fee $175 (Female)

I'm Maura on the right. (Milka has been adopted.) We are the puppies of Minna. We are 3 month old Shih Tzu mixes. We're not sure who our daddy is, but it doesn't really matter because we are SUPER-CUTE!! I, Milka, has a cherry eye that will be corrected when we go to the vet on January 19th, 2012, for spaying and our rabies vaccinations. Our mommy is only about 10 pounds (if that), so we will be small too. We came in with our mommy from a lady who could not care for us anymore. We had never seen a vet, were covered in fleas, our mommy had overgrown nails, and were all pretty hungry. We've all been bathed, have full bellies, and are now rid of our fleas. We are looking for wonderful forever homes! If you'd like to apply to be approved to adopt one of us, please email petsavers@petsaversshreveport.org for an adoption application. Applying to adopt a pet, does NOT commit you to the adoption until you meet the pet. Please note: If you're not approved, you do have other options to adopt to include your local animal control (kill shelter) where you will likely save a life… or click on "Dogs not in shelter" on our website. Thank you for looking! Woof Woof! Pet Savers' shelter. Milka adopted 1/12.

Julius - Adoption Fee $125 (Male)

Si Señor, I am a teeny tiny Chihuahua. I'm as sweet as they come. I'm about 2 years old according to my teeth and weigh about 5 pounds. I was abandoned in a neighborhood and a really nice neighbor lady rescued me. She said the people that had me left me behind. How sad!! It's ok, though, they weren't nice people anyway and I deserve better. I get along excellently with other dogs and cats. I'm scheduled to go for neutering, heartworm testing, and rabies vaccination the week of January 23, 2012. I'll then be ready for my new forever home. I'll probably need some help on my housetraining skills. As with most small dogs, we don't like to get our teeny tiny feet dirty or wet. I'm sure with consistency and time, I will learn that outside is for pottying. If you'd like to apply to be approved to adopt me, please email petsavers@petsaversshreveport.org for an adoption application.

Lucy - Adoption Fee $150 (Female)

I'm a super-sweet 2 1/2 month old and appear to be Poodle/Jack Russell Terrier mix. On Thanksgiving Day, I was dumped on an elderly couple's carport. They took me to the vet for shots and a check-up and I'm healthy and happy. The problem is that my rescuer daddy is disabled and on a walker and I'm so tiny. He's afraid he might harm me. The couple tried to keep me, but they know that the best thing for me is in a loving home with a younger owner who is better equipped to take care of me. I'm about 3 pounds right now, and will possibly be about 15 pounds (give or take) when fully grown. I've been doing really good with my potty training, ride well in a car, great with other animals, and have just a sweet, sweet temperament. My adoption fee comes with a $50 voucher to go towards my spaying when I'm old enough. If you'd like to apply to be approved to adopt me, please email petsavers@petsaversshreveport.org for an adoption application.

Wiggles - Adoption Fee $150 (Male)

I came to Pet Savers with a different name. They quickly renamed me because I am just a sweet little wiggle worm! I'm an 8 month old pure-bred poodle. My owner contacted Pet Savers because she is disabled and cannot care for me. She's on oxygen and I keep chewing through her oxygen tubes while she's sleeping and I keep getting into the road because she can't go outside with me. When Pet Savers returned her call, my mommy told them a breeder was coming to get me that evening. My mommy told Pet Savers that the breeder said I would be kept in a small kennel until I was sold. My mommy and I were both very happy that Pet Savers was able to take me in. I'm about 10 pounds right now and will get a little bigger when by the time I'm all grown up. I have a friendly, social temperament and get along with all animals and people. I'm neutered and up-to-date on shots. I'll be heartworm tested soon, but I'm young and Pet Savers will start me on heartworm preventive immediately. I'm somewhat housetrained, but will need some work because my mommy hasn't been able to be consistent with me. I travel well, but haven't really been on a leash that much. If you'd like to apply to be approved to adopt me, please email petsavers@petsaversshreveport.org for an adoption application.

Sir Charles - Fee $150 (Male)

Sir Charles was found limping down the side of a desolate road on the outskirts of Shreveport on December 16, 2011. The couple that picked him up said he appeared to have given up hope and surrendered himself to them when they stopped to pick him up. Not knowing what to do, they called animal control, where they were told he would be put to sleep immediately. They came to Pet Savers for help. Pet Savers instructed the couple to take Sir Charles to Pet Savers' vet immediately, which they did. It appears that Sir Charles was either hit by a car or thrown from a car. He's been fending for himself for a while because the wounds on his face are now infected, as you can see from the puss around his mouth area. His hind end also has severe road rash. It is difficult for him to breath because of the damage to his mouth and nose. Dr. Rachal, the vet at Southern Hills Animal Hospital, said she estimates him to be 4-5 years old. Dr. Rachal expects him to recover but he will need strong antibiotics and possibly some reconstructive surgery on his nose as it appears that part of his nasal cavity has been severely damaged. We don't know yet what the total vet expense will be for Sir Charles, but we are starting off with a $500 Chipin... as we do know it will be at least that and more. Please help Pet Savers help Sir Charles this holiday season. You can donate several ways: 1. Donate via Sir Charles' Chipin account 2. Donate via our website via Just Give 3. Bring your donation to Pet Savers at 4380 Noyes Drive, Shreveport, La., any day between 12-4pm. 4. Mail your donation to 632 Dudley Drive, Shreveport, La. 71104. 5. Make your donation directly to Southern Hills Animal Hospital at 318-686-5945. Thank you for your support and concern for those who have no voice. Sir Charles adopted 1/12.

Molly Sue - Adoption Fee $175 (Female)

Video link
One word... STUNNING!! That's what I keep hearing from the visitors, volunteers, and staff at Pet Savers. I was born on May 31, 2011, and I'm a super-sweet and playful Collie/Australian Shepherd mix. I'm gorgeous inside and out. My owner contacted Pet Savers for help because she is going through many unsettling events right now and cannot care for me any longer. I am fully house and crate trained. I know how to sit, shake paws, lay down, and roll over on command and especially for a treat. I can catch treats mid-air too. I love rawhides and love to play fetch with a tennis ball. I do fairly well on a leash and I ride very well in a car. I love people and LOVE to play with other dogs of all sizes. I'm about 40 pounds right now and will likely top out at about 50-55 pounds when I'm all grown up. I'm completely up-to-date on my shots and heartworm and flea preventive. I'll be spayed the the week of December 26th, 2011. I have a lot of energy and ideally, would love a home with other dogs and an active family. As with all the dogs at Pet Savers, I will go only to a responsible, caring home.

Trinket - Adoption Fee $100 (Female)

I'm a teeny-tiny Chihuahua. My age is difficult to gauge because what teeth I do have are in terrible condition, but an estimate is 5 years old. I've had many litters of pups in my life and may have just recently weaned pups. I wandered up to someone's property and they took me in. They tried to find my owner, including placing an ad in The Times, but no one came forward. After they exhausted all measures, they came to Pet Savers for help on December 18, 2011. Pet Savers is always full, but they were able to squeeze me in. I went to the vet on December 19th, 2011, to be spayed, heartworm tested, and vaccinations. While I'm being spayed, they will address my dental problems. It's likely I'll only have a few teeth left after all is said and done. I have a super-sweet and submissive personality. I'm about 4 pounds. I'm not sure if I'm housetrained, but in the right home, I know I could learn. If you'd like to apply to be approved to adopt me, please email petsavers@petsaversshreveport.org for an adoption application.

Bongo - Adoption Fee $125 (Male)

I'm a super-sweet 3 1/2 year old SHAVED DOWN Westie. I came to Pet Savers with "Bingo" (both of our names have been changed) when our mommy needed to get out of an abusive relationship. Our mommy is elderly and has been in her abusive situation for four years. She could not get out until she was sure we were safe. Pet Savers can't help out every situation and is always full, but they knew they'd be able to find a home for us fairly quickly, so they squeezed us in. "Squeeze" being the optimum word, because we are a little on the chunky side. Other than being a little overweight, we were very well taken care of by our mommy. We are both neutered, up-to-date on shots, heartworm negative, and have always been on heartworm and flea preventive. We get regular groomings and this is my "shaved down" look. We are both housetrained via a doggie door. We both travel well, walk well on a leash, don't mind bad weather, and neither of us are destructive. I'm about 20 pounds, give or take... (maybe a little more give, than take). I have a sweet temperament, get along with other dogs, and am very social.

Templeton - Adoption Fee $125 (Male)

Video link
I'm a very sweet and docile 5 year old apricot miniature poodle. I'm quiet and gentle. I have what appears to be dry-eyes where I need artificial tears put into my eyes throughout the day. As a result of my dry-eyes, I am going blind. Pet Savers is sending me to their vet to get a better diagnosis, though. My former name was Ceasar, but Pet Savers changed my name to Templeton, after Alec Templeton, a pianist blind from birth who never let his sight deter him from doing what he wanted to do. My former owners say I also have skin issues and I take a 1/2 benadryl everyday to help with that. I've now been brought up-to-date on my shots and will be heartworm tested and neutered the week of November 28th, 2011. I'm housetrained (according to my former owners) and get along with other dogs and cats. I travel well and am not destructive. I'm VERY sweet and have a VERY SWEET disposition. I would make someone a loyal and loving companion. I was surrendered to Pet Savers because the new landlord doesn't allow pets and my owners also didn't have time to care for me any longer. Ideally, I would like a home that is quiet and peaceful. If you'd like to apply to be approved to adopt me, please email petsavers@petsaversshreveport.org for an adoption application.

Penelope - Adoption Fee $125 (Female)

I'm a sweet and small 3-5 year old Boston Terrier. I was found at a rest area just outside of Natchitoches, La. It was if someone had just dumped me there. I'm only about 10 pounds and have a super-sweet disposition. I get along great with other dogs and cats. I'm very social and responsive, without being too hyper. I'm now up-to-date on shots and will be heartworm tested and spayed the week of November 28th, 2011. I'm not sure if I'm housetrained, but I know I'm smart enough to learn. I have some missing fur, which is probably the result of the fleas that were all over me. With the proper care, my fur will grow back. I'm having a ball at Pet Savers. There is so much activity and so many other animals to play with. I'd love a home with other animals.

I'm a one year old super-sweet, super-playful pure-bred Westie. I was brought to Pet Savers because my owner is going in the hospital for major back surgery and is afraid he won't be able to take care of me. He wants me to find a great home, though, so here I am at Pet Savers. I'm about 15 pounds, up-to-date on shots, and have always been on heartworm preventive. I'm scheduled to be neutered the week of November 28th, 2011. I get along FABULOUSLY with other dogs! I don't mind cats either, but I do like to chase them a little. I've been through obedience training, so I do know some basic commands, but like any good terrier, I have a low attention span. I play fetch and will even bring it back to you. I travel well, walk well on a leash, and bad weather does not upset me. Heck, nothing really upsets me. I'm just a friendly, go-lucky little guy. I sleep in a kennel at night, and am used to using potty pads. I am not destructive.

Bentley - Adoption Fee $125 (Male)

I was found in the middle of the road by a woman. She picked me up and took me to the side of the road, thinking I lived nearby... then reluctantly continued on her way. She didn't get far, though, and turned around. There I was, standing right back in the middle of the road. She scooped me up and took me with her. It's a good thing that she did, too!! I was heavily matted, covered in fleas and ticks, very thin and pretty-much had given up. The woman that rescued me is a really nice lady, having many rescues of her own. She brought me to Pet Savers to see if they could help. They sent me directly to the vet... where it was determined that I had a healed broken jaw. Because there were no other healed injuries, Pet Savers' vet thinks someone purposely broke my jaw. I can eat ok, but I do need tiny bits of food mixed possibly with some wet food. I've now been neutered, vaccinated, and heartworm tested. I AM heartworm positive (no surprise there)... so, I need a home that understands heartworms! If you don't, don't apply. I'm about 4 years old, according to the vet and about 12 pounds. I'm super-sweet, get along great with other dogs (just like any good Shih Tzu)... and cats, and love being around people. I currently reside in and out of the office at Pet Savers with some of the other residents. I'm not sure if I'm housetrained or if I've ever even lived inside a home for that matter. An adopter that has the time and patience to properly train me is required.

Kingston - Adoption Fee $150 (Male)

I'm a super-sweet, 18 month old, 11 pound poodle mix. I know I look bigger, but I'm a little guy under this coat! I was found on Kingston Road and was almost hit by a car when a really nice lady scooped me up. This is a picture of me AFTER Pet Savers cut my bangs. It's no wonder I was almost hit... I couldn't see anything! I've now been to the vet and they've groomed me up some, I've been neutered, vaccinated, and heartworm tested (which is negative). I get along great with other dogs and cats and love being around people. I'm a little overwhelmed at Pet Savers, so they are keeping me in the office so that I can acclimate a little easier. I'm not sure if I'm housetrained, but I could learn with stability. If you'd like to apply to be approved to adopt me, please email petsavers@petsaversshreveport.org for an adoption application.

Zoey - Adoption Fee $125 (Female)

My mommy got me as a puppy from her parents as a gift. Giving a living, breathing pet as a gift is NEVER a good idea!! I'm a prime example! Christmas is right around the corner. PLEASE DON'T GIVE A PET AS A GIFT!! I wasn't what she wanted, but she kept me for two years. Finally, she got the puppy she wanted and now, here I am at Pet Savers. I'm a sweet, two year old Spitz doggy. I'm small at about 20 pounds or so. I'm spayed and have now been brought back up-to-date on shots. I'll be heartworm tested soon because I've never had heartworm preventive. I'm housetrained (according to my previous owner, but Pet Savers never makes that guarantee), get along well with other dogs, but not sure about cats because I've never lived with them. I'm a high-energy little dog and would love a home with someone who can give me the time, attention, and walks that I need. I travel well, walk well on a leash, and know how to "sit" and "stay".
