Story
Welcome Dixie to CCPAL Rescue. She is a 9-month old Smooth Coated Collie/Kelpie is our best guess on breed. She weighs 50 pounds. She is very very loyal to her people and would be great with someone wanting a dog to go with you places or if you work from home and want a loyal partner. She is crate trained, potty trained, good on a leash and good in a car. She was found as a stray and her foster mom has been putting this girl through dog training. She is doing really good in her classes and is learning some more basic commands. She is a higher energy dog and would be great for a runner, jogger or hiker type person. She is lower on the shed scale. She has a lot of personality and would be fine with children. We like them to be 8 or older. Her best home would be with a fenced yard. She could run and play off some energy. She likes you to be outside with her as she wants to be around her family over exploring the yard all along without you. She would be fine with children as well. We like them to be 8 or older. She is up on her vaccinations, spayed and ready for her forever home. She is in Texas and can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get her to Washington, Portland(Oregon), Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. We can put you in touch with her foster mom after you put in and get your application approved. We can also set up a meet and greet if you are local in Texas. Her adoption fee is 300 and transport is 200. Contact Marlene at 210-867-1769 or email ccpalinquiries@gmail.com if you have questions. Online applications at www.ccpalrescue.org/ See her cute video.

Story
Meet Hopscotch! This sweet girl was found wandering in the cold in a rural area of WA. She is now safe in a foster home and doing so well! Hopscotch is a small girl, around 33 lbs and looks to be a Kelpie mix. We're not quite sure what she is mixed with but she is full grown and will remain a nice medium size. Our vet estimates her to be 10 months old. She's playful, fun and absolutely loves the male Malinois she's being fostered with. This little peanut would love another young playful male dog in her permanent home or a very (outdoor) active person. She is house trained and her foster is working with her on some other skills like recall and crate training.  Hopscotch will alert bark when people come to the door but is friendly upon meeting people. She has a tendency to jump up in excitement but her foster is working with her on that and it is an easy issue to fix.  She likes to play with other dogs and sometimes is a bit pushy to let them know this.  Hopscotch is a lovely girl. We'd like to see her in an active home committed to training her and providing her with physical enrichment. We have not seen her with cats so we recommend her for a cat free home.  Hopscotch will be vaccinated, microchipped and spayed. Her adoption fee is $450   We cover the medical to prepare the pet for adoption and the adopt donations go directly to cover those costs and range from $295-$495.  Thank you for stepping up to save a life! To expedite to meet with this dog, please go to our site at www.savinggreatanimals.org and fill out an application. We look at the first applications to arrive, so we hope to hear from you soon!

This kind, gentle girl is a 2 year old Australian Kelpie mix, that weighs 30 pounds. Sally is smart, athletic, and on the shy side. She takes her time to warm up to new people, but once she gets to know you, she is very loyal and loving! She is dog friendly, potty trained, crate trained, and does well on a leash. She is food motivated too, and loves her toys! This little beauty would excel at having a job like agility. She is so smart, and loves learning new tricks. Sally is pretty spot on energy-wise for a dog of her mix. She would benefit from someone who wanted to work with her on training and learning some fun new tricks!

Story
Hi, Tassa is my name and if you want an all-around easy dog to get along with - I'm your girl! I love to swim, run, and play. I can already imagine all the fun things we could do together. But I am also very content to lay by your feet and just chill. Don't worry - I'll periodically give you my paw to let you know I'm there and available for cuddling. I don't need constant attention, but I'll take as much as you want to give.I can be a bit shy when we first meet but I warm up quickly and then we are best friends.I am still a young girl who is very curious and learning new things all the time. I getting pretty good at walking on a leash without pulling - and with your help, I'm sure I'll be perfect soon! And did I mention I love treats? I already know how to sit for a treat. Being food-motivated makes it easy to train me. I get along great with most dogs after we are introduced, but I can be a bit vocal with dogs that I don’t know. Once we are introduced, we're good friends. In fact, I go for walks on our La Paz Malecon every Wednesday just so I can meet new dogs and people and be a social girl. If you like a great dog - who has the energy to play when you are ready, will chill and lay at your feet while you work, and be ready for cuddles when it's time -- I'm definitely the girl for you.If you think we could have a happy life together, then just click on the "Apply to Adopt" button. I will be waiting for you!Lots of love to giveTassa To get more information go to https://hope4lapawz.org/adopt and click on the dog's photo. There you will see any videos, more photos and details.

Norton is a sweet guy when you earn his trust! He is amazing in his kennel. He isn’t a huge barker. He tends to like to be the only dog ( can be selective) female dogs and puppies he does best with. He does well with children. He does do the typical biting at cars while in the car so would do best in a travel crate or tied in the back. He is very eager to please and seems to be potty trained.
