Hester

Age: Adult / Breed: Australian Shepherd / Sex: Female / Rescue: Stray Animal Adoption Program
"Meet Hester an 18 month twenty ish pound sweet mini Aussie at a little under twenty pounds. Hester came to SAAP with her three other sisters. Hester seems to be the most outgoing of the sisters however she is a little shy and nervous at first. Hester immediately explored her foster home then took a nap on foster moms lap. Hester will need a patient adopter to work with her shyness. A confident dog friend would be great, so far she has meet several pups and has done fine. Sometimes she guards my lap but when she is vocal I just tell her no . Since we consider Hester a bit of a flight risk due to her shy behaviors she would need a physical fence with a tie out to start and someone would need to be outside with her. Hester is super sweet and glad to be a SAAP pup now. Apply for Hester at adoptastray.com or if already approved reply to your approval email."

Age: Puppy / Breed: Dachshund, Shih Tzu Mix / Sex: Male / Rescue: Little Hills of Kentucky Animal Rescue
"George is 13 weeks old and 8 lbs. He is a Dachshund/Shih Tzu/Chihuahua mix. Don’t let his small size full you! He loves to run, chase a ball and snuggle in your lap. He has a lot of personality packed into one tiny body! He has the best puppy eyes to melt anyone’s heart:) He will still need to be given his 3rd Dhpp, Lepto, Rabies and be neutered at times stated on his paperwork. As long as this is done by our veterinarians, there is no cost involved until everything is completed. Then the adoption fee of $300 and signing of the adoption contract is due. Everything will be completed between when he is 20-22 weeks of age."
