About Squirrel

Squirrel is a super sweet girl that greets everyone with tail wags and kisses! Loves running around and playing, but also loves a good snuggle on the couch.

Not a fan of the crate, but she’s good in the home hanging out on the couch. So far, no destructive issues.

It’s been noted that Squirrel doesn’t like it when other dogs go near her crate, while she’s in it. Can be reactive with other dogs, while on leash, but is good with them otherwise. 

Loves to play with toys and literally plays hide and seek with herself if you give her a bone! Loves to be a couch potato too!

Squirrel would benefit from basic obedience training as well as a fully fenced yard. Her ideal home would be with a fairly quiet family/person. She would make a great companion to almost anyone! 

Adoption Fee | $500

Adoption fees help cover the costs associated with rescue, such as vetting, boarding, and transportation.

Prior to adoption, dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and 4Dx tested, and they receive any necessary treatment. After adoption, they are eligible for one month of free pet insurance.
For more information about adoption fees, please review our Adoption FAQs & Fees page.

Why We Love Fostering

  • Fostering is such a rewarding experience and works great for us as it is very flexible. We love seeing the difference in their personalities from day 1: from timid and nervous to a happy, healthy, better-socialized dog. It gives them time to decompress before going to their perfect home. Fostering enriches our lives knowing we are saving a life each time, and giving them a better life ahead. It warms the heart knowing you were part of this process.

Why We Love Fostering

  • The thought of cats and kittens missing out on a loving home is one big reason as to why I foster. I thoroughly enjoy watching homeless cats go from being afraid of their own shadow, to throwing themselves at you with all their pent up love. It is so hard to see the cats/kittens leave once they are ready, but knowing someone has adopted a once abandoned sweetheart is the best feeling ever.
