Meet Oliver!
This is Oliver! He is a 1 1/2 year old Havanese. He is a little guy with a big personality who loves to go for long walks and to run and play! He came to us from a puppy mill, so he is shy at first.. but once he is comfortable, he loves big!
Oliver is working on potty training and will require a belly band when inside. He is good with other dogs and cats. Because of his past, only applications with children over 8 and dog savy will be accepted.
He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and ready to find his furrever home!

I have some questions about Ray. Does he have SARDS? Does he use a Walkin Blind Dog Harness? I am interested in adopting him. Does he know basic Blind dogs commands or do I need to teach him? He is young enough to learn basic 1 word commands and live a happy life. I have application on file.
Hi Deborah,
For more information about Ray, please message the foster who has posted him on Facebook, for the best up to date information. If you have not already, please fill out an application to start the approval process.
Thank you! SOAR Volunteer

why is it so hard to adopt a dog when there so many qualified and more than loving and pet friendly people who need a friend to help them with loneliness to have a friend to wake up to every day no wonder there are so many pets in rescue centers i am very frustrated i just want a friend
Hi Diane, Have you put an application in with us for any in-particular available animal? If you haven’t fill out an application yet, that is the first step to finding you a great companion.

Hello! I’m interested in adopting Gemma, and I filled out an application for her two days ago. I left a message here which was never posted and I’ve sent an email which has not been replied to. I’m just curious as to how long the wait is until we hear whether the application has been accepted or not, and I have asked several times how much your adoption fees are. A reply would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.
Hello,
Please know we are volunteer based and work as quickly as possible to sort through applications and emails. The process from date of application submitted typically takes 7-10 days. If you are chosen to meet Gemma, our coordinator will be in touch. Gemma’s adoption fee is $450. Thank you!
Thank you very much for your reply! I greatly appreciate it and also thanks for all you do for animals in need.
