UCE THEIR ADOPTION FEES TO $300 IN HOPES THEY SOON FIND THEIR FOREVER FAMILIES!** Are you ready to meet the pup of your dreams? If yes, Pal's Place would love to introduce Sable, an incredibly affectionate and social gal with more love to give than you can imagine. This tender-hearted and loyal girl will be your best friend and steadfast companion for life, and she's eager to meet you! Sable adores people and other dogs, and is a friendly face to every human and canine she meets. She was rescued from an overwhelmed animal control facility in rural Kentucky, along with her six littermates, when they were just eight weeks old. Shelters and rescues across the US are facing a crisis, as adoption rates have slowed considerably over the past 18 months, while surrenders and intake numbers have been rising. In previous years, puppies in shelters and rescues were usually adopted quickly, often as soon as they became available. Unfortunately, in the past year, it has become more common than not for friendly, adoptable dogs, including puppies, to stay in shelters or foster homes for many months before finding a family. As victims of this current shelter and rescue crisis, Sable and four of her littermates, now approaching 8 months old, have grown up in foster care, waiting for their forever homes. These sweet pups are more than ready and eager to find the loving, forever families they deserve. Sable is close to 60 pounds now and still growing. We expect she'll weigh between 75 and 90 pounds when fully grown. A DNA test on two littermates reveals their breed mix as 35% Bluetick Coonhound, 27% German Shepherd, 23% Husky, and 15% Staffordshire Terrier. She's doing well with housebreaking and is crate trained, but she’s still a pup learning the ropes. Potential adopters should be prepared to continue her basic training and obedience. She's smart as a whip and eager to please, making training sessions fun and enjoyable. Sable is a dog with heart and spirit, curious about the world, and always ready for new adventures. She will make a wonderful and loyal companion for an active family! Sable is fostered in Chicago, and meet-and-greets are by appointment only after an adoption application has been received and approved. For more information or to apply, please email palsplace1hotmail or visit our website at palsplacerescue. Sable's adoption fee is $475 (now reduced to $300 thanks to a generous sponsorship). This fee helps cover her medical expenses while in our care. She is spayed, microchipped, up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccines, and on monthly flea and heartworm preventatives. All of our dogs live in foster homes, and meetings are scheduled by appointment only after we have approved an adoption application. For more details or to apply, please email palsplace1hotmail. *Please note* we cannot hold dogs for more than three days after an application has been received and approved for a meeting.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
