SENSI
Sensi was dumped on our foster by another rescue. We vetted her and have been posting her for 4 years now with no interest at all. She has to be an only dog but she is very sweet and deserves to have her very own home.
Hi my name is Sensi. I’m a 6 years old 45-50lb baby girl. I am a very sweet nervous girl because people were not so good to me before I came to my foster’s house.

EMMI
Emmie has completed her board and train program and now is just waiting for her forever home while she continues to be in boarding. This is what her trainer had to say about her:
Emmi is a laid back girl who absolutely loves to relax and cuddle but is also always down for an adventure. Emmi is satisfied just being with her people doing whatever the day brings and will adjust her energy level to match her human’s. Although Emmi is laid back she is looking for someone who understands how to manage a dog with inner confidence issues. Emmi needs someone who is willing to set instant rules, boundaries and give proper decompression time when first bringing her home. Because she was born a “back of the pack” energy, giving Emmi structure and guidance helps her feel more secure in her new environment and creates trust between her and her new family. When she doesn’t go through a proper decompression period in her new environment, Emmi will put her insecurities into becoming territorial and defensive over the environment and her personal space with anyone new. Emmi would do best as an only pet and with someone who is looking for a dog they know will take continued time and training to fully overcome her lack of inner confidence. This is not something that happens overnight, so whoever adopts her must be committed to working with her and helping her reach her full potential. Adoption fee is $250.
ROCKY
This baby was saved from a good samaritan's neighbor before she moved. She knew she couldn’t leave him with his owners to die alone. Rocky would love to find his own loving home. He is actually really playful for his age! He is around 11 and lived with a chihuahua, pomeranian, and 2 different pit bulls previously. Absolutely no cats. Very sweet and lovable, a little shy at first. He is heart worm positive but has been doing slow kill for 3 months.
BOULDER
Boulder is a 3 year old Sharpei/Pit Mix. He is neutered, microchipped, and current on vaccines. He weighs approximately 65-75 lbs. Boulder is not good with small or male dogs. If you have a female dog you would need to do a meet and greet. He was in board and train program but now needs a foster or adopter to get him out of boarding. Boulder's eyes don't lie he is truly as sweet as he looks with a big heart. He walks pretty good on a leash but is large and strong. He is very loving of his people and kids and enjoys getting hugs and pets. He loves playing fetch and chasing after tennis balls or toys. I haven't seen him be vocal and when he was in the kennel he would sit respectfully and just look up with those puppy eyes as people walked by. He is overall a great dog who should be easy to train, it seems like he enjoys pleasing his person and just needs his furever family to return his love. Adoption fee is $250.
KADE
Kade is a wonderfully chill 3 year old gentle giant who’s just under 75lbs, current on vaccines, neutered, and microchipped. He’s house trained, crate trained, learning basic commands, loves car rides and will do anything for a treat. He is strong on a leash, but will settle in a little while into a walk. Kade should be the only pet and would do best in a home with oder children. No cats. Kade will require weekly ear washes for life due to being prone to ear infections. He does not like to be disturbed while eating, so crate feeding is recommended. Kade is music selective and will actually sing for you when it’s a song he likes. This wonderful boy just has a personality that will make you smile.
If interested in Kade please fill out an application at operationsaveashelterdog.org. Adoption fee is $250.
WALTER
Walter is a sweet senior gentleman who wants nothing more than to be someone’s everything. He loves his humans with his whole heart and his loyalty is unmatched. Because of his need to be the center of attention at all times, he would prefer to be the only pet in the home and would enjoy a lower traffic household where he can relax during his golden years. He is potty trained, knows his commands, walks perfectly on the leash, and has great house manners. He is non- destructive, quiet, can stay loose in the house when home alone, is also crate trained and will sometimes choose to sleep in his crate if the door is left open for him. Whether you enjoy relaxing on the couch or taking a stroll through the park, Walter is your guy and wants nothing more than to be by your side at all times. Walter is such a great dog with so much love to give and deserves someone who will give him the same back in return.
Adoption fee is $250.
LUCAS
Lucas is as sweet as the day is long. He is 2-3 years old but someone forgot to tell him that and he still thinks he is a puppy and a lap dog. He does very well with children although I suggest older children as he is excitable and could knock down smaller children. He does do well with most dogs and no cats. He is 65lbs and is potty trained. Lucas is learning his leash manners and he does have crate anxiety (It would be recommended you get a Ruffland Kennel or and Impact Crate as he is not a fan of a crate) He loves to run and play with the tennis balls and would be best in an active home to run off some of his energy. Lucas is current on vaccines, neutered, and microchipped.
Adoption fee is $250.
CAMMIE

HAZEL
Hazel is a 2 year old 77 lb American Bulldog. She is crate and potty trained. Hazel is current on all vaccinations, spayed, and microchipped. Temperament is super sweet. She will sit for you on command to go out the front door, and she will sit before coming back in,once she calms down. She is extremely playful and does not have a mean bone in her body towards cats or dogs but she uses all her strength to chase falling leaves, bunnies, squirrels, birds, anything she sees even if she’s looking at shadows. You have to be very strong to keep a hold of her. It is best that you let her run in a fenced yard and chase to her hearts content. Do not recommend walking on a leash unless you are very strong or she receives some leash training. Hazel would need to be crated when she’s not supervised because she will chew anything and that could be very dangerous. Adoption fee is $250.
MYSTIC
Mystic is between 4-6 years old and over 50 lbs. She is house, crate, leash, and potty trained. She does great with kids but can be dog selective, she does better with a submissive dog no cats.
Mystic is spayed, current on vaccines, and microchipped. Adoption fee is $250.
ELEANOR
Are you feeling lonely? Maybe that stay at home job is getting old, or maybe you have gone back to work after staying at home for two years and need something stimulating when you get home. Maybe you’re a truck driver and need a ride-a-long. Maybe you just love dogs! I have the answer you are looking for, and her name is Eleanor.
This 4-5 year old, 40lb package of adorable is that perfect mixture of chill and ready to go. Do you like to run? Maybe you like to hang out on the couch? Eleanor will do both. Want to try your hand at agility? Maybe you want to throw a ball around? Eleanor does those too. Have a squirrel or rabbit problem? Need some free pest control? Eleanor has GOT you. She does it all. She walks well on a leash. She’s house trained, crate trained, just all the way trained. She’s got a larger vocabulary than most people you know. She’ll sleep on the bed or in her crate. She loves a good car ride. She’s chivalrous and waits for you to walk through doors first. Teach her to use the toilet and she’d probably be better behaved than your significant other.
Based on the scars on her face, she’s been the victim of some not so friendly animals, so dogs stress her out. She is learning that they aren’t all cause for concern, but the dogs she tolerates are old (read “boring” in dog terms) and leave her alone. If you have another dog friend in your home, there will need to be a long acclimation period and the knowledge that she will need patience and positive experiences to trust that other pup, and still may never be completely comfortable. She would not do well with small dogs or cats.
Eleanor is spayed and up to date on all vaccines, heartworm/flea/tick prevention, and microchipped. If Eleanor sounds like a good fit for you, please fill out an application at https://operationsaveashelterdog.org/adoption-application. Adoption fee $250.
JETTA
Jetta is a sweet, spunky 8 year old senior girl who definitely doesn’t let her age slow her down one bit. She’s got a lot of sass inside that compact little body of hers and despite her age, still has a ton of energy and loves going on runs, long hikes, and is always ready for the next adventure. She is crate trained and house broken is about 45lbs. As long as she can be by your side, she’s happy doing whatever her humans are doing and always wants to be a part of everything. This sweet girl loves to be spoiled rotten and showered with affection constantly. She would prefer to be the only dog in the home so that all the attention is on her but she does great with humans of all ages. She has a strong prey drive so no small animals for this girl and a 6 ft fence is a must. Jetta is one of the most loving dogs you will ever meet and deserves a home of her own where she can be everything to someone. If you’re interested in Jetta please contact operationsaveashelterdog.org. Adoption fee $250.
ALI
Ali is a 1yo 50 lb pitbull mix. He’s neutered and utd on vaccines. Great on leash, plays nicely with dogs and loves attention…to the point that he will follow you everywhere. He has to be guided into the crate as he will push back, but once in he is very chill. He’s very treat driven and has sat a couple of times on command already, so very trainable. Shelter notes say that he does not like to share his attention with kids, so a home without small kids would be best. Ali is a bit timid until he gets to know his surroundings, so would recommend using a leash or runner while outside if fence is not 6’. Adoption fee is $250.
DOZER
Dozer is about 7 years old, 114 lbs, neutered, current on vaccines, crate trained, house broken, and microchipped. He needs to be the only pet in his forever home but loves all people.
Wish you had an oversized stud muffin to cuddle with?? Well you can! Dozer is well mannered, happy, loving cuddly and he’s available for adoption through Operation Save a Shelter Dog. But you better hurry because he won’t be oversized much longer because he’s been dieting and exercising to shed some of his extra pounds. He’s not an over-eater and tests have been run to check for a medical condition , but everything came back normal. I guess dogs are like humans, the older you get, the harder it is to lose weight.
He is on weight management kibble and green beans…1 cup each twice daily. He LOVES green beans!
Adoption fee is $250.

He is good with other dogs that are not submissive. No cats or other small animals. HIGH prey drive. He does need basic obedience. I’ve tried to work with him, but his energy is too high and he cannot concentrate. He pulls hard on the leash so he will need to work on that with a no pull harness. He is crate trained. Cannot be left unattended because he gets bored and chews. He has not had any accidents in the house. He is great with my older children. Do not recommend smaller kids due to his energy level. He jumps a lot and plays rough. Niles requires a fenced yard. Adoption fee is $250. Fostered in Chesterfield, VA.

AARON
He is a neutered, male chocolate 6-year-old mixed breed in need of a loving home. He is roughly about 65 pounds of fun loving and relaxing dog. He is dog friendly (he currently resides with 4 other dogs), kid friendly and crate trained. He spends most of his time in the house, and goes outside for playtime. He does well on leash and off leash, just give him time to adjust to his new home first, as he is a bit on the stronger side.
He loves playing fetch! Throw any sort of toy and he’ll chase after it and bring it back. He can’t get enough of fetch, your arm will probably tire before he does. He loves to drink from the water hose, Cascading waterfalls are his second favorite outdoor activity besides fetch. When you’re not playing with him, he’ll just calmly relax on his dog bed. You might even forget he’s there! Make sure to always have toys as that keeps him busy. He’s also very treat motivated! So, whenever you teach him a trick, Aaron will be very happy with a bacon treat or two. He is on heartworm prevention and flea and tick monthly prevention. Adoption Fee $250. Fostered in Va Beach, VA.

Kuka and Finn are being fostered in Georgia and with an approved application can be transported. This bonded pair has been through so much and would love their forever home together.
Kuca is a Australian Shepard mix she is 6 years old. Finn is a American Bulldog mix he is 4 years old. They were picked up as strays together on August 10, 2021 in Houston Texas. They had a lady in North Carolina that wanted to foster them so a rescue pulled them. They were transported for 2 days with 14 different people from Texas to NC. Once they got to the foster home in NC they did not get along with the foster’s dog and the foster wanted them gone. Current foster decided to take them in November of 2021. So the foster brought them to Georgia to new foster lived and they went into boarding for a week. Foster went by and visited with them everyday until she had space for them. Rescue quit paying for dogs so foster reached out to OSSD and we took over responsibility. Finn was shut down and was scared of people, he would not walk on a leash, he would belly crawl on the ground. He was scared to go outside. He would come out and potty and wanted to go right back inside. He doesn’t like other dogs except Kuca. He is crate and house trained but has an accident every once in a while. Finn is bonded to Kuka and likes some female dogs. It took Finn 6 months to come out of his shell. He now likes to go outside. He walks on a leash but still pulls a little. He loves to run around in the back yard but stays close to Kuka. He will need a special adopter that has patience with him. He still gets scared of loud noises but is much better. Kuka is loving, sweet, crate and house trained. She loves being next to her person. She is the perfect dog. They both love toys and hanging on the couch with you. We don’t know their past but are sure it was not good. So let’s help them find a wonderful home as they both deserve it. There has to be a special home that can take take this bonded pair.

FEFE
FeFe is a 2 year old female, spayed German Shepherd. Up to date on vaccines, flea prev, and is microchipped.
History: Brought to the shelter in December 2021 with 7 newborn puppies. Fefe has a history of living with a 2 year old without issue, as well as a male GSD that impregnated her. Fefe went into foster two weeks after she was surrendered to the shelter. She was adopted for approximately one month over the summer. Adopters lived in an apartment and when they walked her one evening she pulled out of her flat collar and ran after a neighbor with a small dog. Adopters reported that she was jumping and barking at the neighbor who was holding the small dog but never attempted to bite or hurt either of them. However, due to that incident their landlord told them FeFe could no longer live there so they surrendered her back to the shelter in August. She went directly back into foster with her original fosters.
She is reactive to new people and other dogs. She will bark and charge at new people and dogs. She is highly food motivated so for the most part, she gets over her reactivity with people after being fed treats or hot dogs. Once she lets them in her friend circle there isn’t an issue again. With dogs, the reaction is longer lasting and can be difficult to redirect focus. Fefe’s fosters have been working on teaching her commands like “touch” and “watch me” to have her redirect her attention back to them. Her fosters have reported no handling issues in the home. They are able to pet and handle her all over, trim her nails without issues, and can take toys from her with no reaction. The foster home has 2 cats and another (senior neutered) GSD in the home, so she is rotated in and out of her bedroom. She does not react behind the door to any of the animals, even when their other dog barks at her.
She is very sweet with her people, loves to be pet and have her belly rubbed. She is extremely playful and loves to play fetch and frisbee. She is an excellent swimmer as well! Her favorite toys are the frisbee and tennis balls. She learns behaviors very quickly. She is free roam in her own room in the fosters house and is usually good by herself. (She has chewed a few things up, but for the most part she chews on her toys only.) She is also crate trained and really enjoys being in her crate. Fefe is also perfectly potty trained.
Adoption fee is $350. Fostered in Norfolk, VA.

She loves to do zoomies on the beds and couches which is absolutely adorable. She loves kids! Shelby is still learning to play with toys and loves her rope toy.

Hugs you all the time and just wants to melt into you when she leans on you. She can also be independent and crates well when needed. She is curious and has to smell everything!
Shelby has beautiful brown eyes that look at you as though to say, "ok what's next mom?" Shelby doesn't like loud noises outside when walking or just going out to the bathroom. Nor does she like cars going by. Her adopters will need to be cautious of this so she doesn't get spooked on her initial walks with them. She is very loyal and will follow you all day while you get things done. Baths are something she is learning to enjoy. She is such a joy, it has been our privilege to help get her ready for her forever home. Shelby girl is like hitting the lottery!!!
She is just so full of love and excitement and she would be a great family pet! Someone who can match her energy since she plays like a puppy!!! She is super smart & strong for her stocky self and is learning new commands every day. She has filled out beautifully in our home. We would keep her but we want to continue fostering to help other dogs in need.
While she entered her foster home weighing 45lbs, she is up to a healthy 63 pounds fully healthy now. There is an adoption fee that has covered her vetting and really helps the rescue help another dog in need.
