"Our adoption fee is $400 U.S. unless otherwise stated. The fee helps to defray the costs of getting a dog adoptable. Our dogs are all spayed/neutered, vaccinated, heartworm tested, and started on monthly flea and heartworm prevention." We invite you to submit an ADOPTION APPLICATION. Foster Homes desperately needed Sugg: is a 10-month-old Saint puppy, and he's a typical puppy in every way! He gets along with all the dogs in his foster home (male and female). He is interested in the cats there but only wants to play. He doesn't chase them; he's just curious about them. He has not shown any signs of aggression, and he loves to play. He is approximately 80 lbs and up to date on all his shots. He will need to be neutered before he can be adopted to his forever home." 7/28/2010
Macks: is a 5 1/2-year-old, 109 lbs, neutered male. He is the sweetest dog you'll ever meet! He's housetrained and up-to-date on his shots. He gets along with everyone: kids, other dogs, cats, and even horses! He tends to ignore the other dogs at his foster home, but he does play with them on occasion. Macks is super laid back. He loves belly rubs and car rides, and he's mostly a couch potato. Nearly perfect in every way, he does have one tiny flaw - he can be a bit of an escape artist. He needs a home with some sort of fence around the yard. He responds well to the in-ground fence at his foster home, but a regular fence would work just as well. If you have a fenced yard and room in your heart for a gentle giant, consider adopting Macks today! 6/25/2010
Burg: is a 15-month old male rough coat Saint Bernard who was apprehended during an animal cruelty case along with his friends Pete and Suzi. Burg was left on a chain much of the time and was not given proper food, water, or daily care. He is currently learning the ways of living in a safe and comfortable home. He is great with other dogs and loves to play. He is a little fearful of people most certainly due to lack of socialization however he is coming around very quickly. He loves his treats and his food! He will need a family with the patience to socialize and work with him on basic training. He has a tremendous amount of love to give and is making great strides with his foster family. Despite his rough beginnings he is in relatively good shape. Burg is scheduled to be neutered soon. He needed to be shaved due to severe tick infestation and horrible matting of his coat. With proper nutrition and care his coat is bound to grow back beautifully. 4/28/2010

Rocky: and Apollo: are a bonded pair of young 4-year old rough coat Saint Bernards. They stay true to their names, Rocky is 140# and very laid back and Apollo is 120# and loves to be the center of attention. These brothers are extremely loving and well behaved. They have been trained to stay on one floor of the house and will limit themselves to where you want them. They are housetrained as well. While they do like to look at the counters, so far they have not taken anything off. They have shown to be excellent on walks after their initial excitement. Apollo is very extroverted and does like to jump and "nip" at new friends which can be quite intimidating to the uninitiated person. By keeping him in good control on leash when someone new approaches he has done fine. Both are wonderful around other dogs. Can you find it in your heart to take us home today? 4/28/2010
Gus: is a 3-year old smooth coat Saint Bernard who his foster parents describe as a “very polite guy” who knows his basic commands. He walks on a leash like a gentleman and very few corrections are needed. He is housetrained and has attached himself to his foster mom. Gus came to us as a stray and he is starved for affection. He weighs approximately 115# but could stand to gain a few. He is protective of his food around other dogs but otherwise is coexisting peacefully with his 3 canine companions. He should be placed in a home with children 10 and older because we have no knowledge of his previous interactions with children. He enjoyed his bath, he’s heartworm negative and on preventative, up to date on his vaccinations, and neutered. Gus is rather athletic and can jump a 4-foot fence without issue. Gus will provide a lifetime of love to a family willing to give him a second chance at life. 4/27/2010
Bujo and Maggie: are a bonded pair of rough coat Saint Bernards that need to be adopted together. Bujo is a 6-year old male, scheduled for a neuter, and up to date on his immunizations. Maggie is a 6-year old female, spayed, up to date on her immunization that relies on her buddy Bujo. As you can see Bujo needed a summer cut upon arriving to us due to a flea/tick infestation and horrible matting of his hair. His hair will grow back and he feels so much better! They are both great with children and Maggie gets along with both male and female dogs. Bujo prefers the ladies. They have not been tested with cats but don’t seem to have particularly high prey drives. They just arrived in our rescue so we are learning more about them and will update as information becomes available. They are a sweet pair of Saints that have a lot of love to give for the gift of a family that will love them in return. 4/27/2010
Sassy: is a very active young Saint
who will be 2-years old in June. She is looking for a family that has plenty
of time to walk her and play with her as she is very energetic and playful.
She loves balls, she will play by herself with one or let you throw it,
however, she won’t always let you have it back! She loves bones to chew on
and needs them. She will chew a blanket or other things if she is bored and
left unattended for too long, bones help keep her occupied and interested
for long periods of time. She is working on her manners, does ok on a leash
and is getting better every day. She listens very well as her motivation
comes from praise and acceptance. She is not treat responsive, she likes
treats but will respond better in training with praise and pets than with
treats. She is housetrained. Sassy does well with dogs smaller than her but
is afraid of dogs bigger than her, she has some socialization learning to do
when it comes to dogs. When she meets a new dog she immediately wants to
play, she doesn’t know that they like to “meet” her first and need time to
adjust to her. She just jumps and barks and tries to get them to play,
however, she will back off if “warned” but will come right back and try to
get them to play again. She is just a ball of energy Did I mention Sassy has
energy?? She is learning quickly and is making good progress in her foster
home. Sassy loves people and is good with children. She is
scheduled to be spayed on 4/27. She is in good health and up to date on all
shots.
4/22/2010 Sampson: I am a 3 yr old neutered male weighing in at 113 lbs. A stray to the animal shelter, my owner never claimed me and now I need a new family to love me. I am up to date on shots and heart worm tested negative. I’m a little under weight due to having worms when I arrived and should put on another 10 lbs. I like attention from my owner and enjoy the company of other pets. If I am left alone in the backyard for a long period of time, I will dig my way out to be with my owner. I use a doggy door to get inside and out when needed. I love to be in the house with my owner as well as enjoy riding in the car. I’m working on walking on a leash, but I sit very well on command and come to when I’m called and take my treats gently. Will you take me into your home? Fill out an application and I will get back to you right away. 1/7/2010
Moose: (Use a deep voice please) Hello everyone my name is Moose. I am 2yrs old, neutered, vaccinated, heartworm tested, and started on flea and heartworm prevention. I am not a true Saint but a Saint mix. I am however as honorable if not more than a Saint. I will love my master as they take good care of me. I am wishing that my new master can teach me some commands to follow and socialize me with others, brush my hair and take me on walks and of course hug me. I’ve been told that I need a friend who can teach me that the entire world is not an abusive place as it has been to me. I want to find that will take the time to give me some attention. Can I be your only pet so that I can give them my undivided attention? Ask for an application and I will review it personally to make sure that we are a match. I look forward to your application. Sincerely, Moose. 10/18/2009
Boomer: Well hello there, my name is Boomer. I am 5 ½ years old, a short hair with a full mantle and a full mask. I am current on my shots and medication which I take for the occasional seizure. I’ve been on the pill for about two years now. The meds only cost $15 for a three month supply. I am not neutered but I am a very smart and lovable boy. If you talk to me I will raise an eyebrow and tilt my head to listen. It helps you think I’m listening. Oh and how I do enjoy cuddling. I am a 170lb teddy bear. Once you cuddle with me you will never buy another one of them stuffed teddy bears again. I am not a puppy but I do like to play from time to time and I enjoy early morning walks or late evening walks, which ever you prefer will be fine with me. I do love the snow so we can walk then too as I am all seasons ready! I am a very passive big boy and have never once shown one ounce of aggression to anyone or anything not even on bad hair days. I like the company of other animals like my sister Lilly, also listed here. We both used to enjoy car rides soooo much. My current owner would like to keep me and Lilly together as we have grown up together. So if you can house us both that would be AWESOME! In short I am a very easy and laid back kind of Saint and a wonderful Saint that your entire family will love. You can fill out an application right here folks. Thank You, Boomer. 10/15/2009
Lilly: Hey you! I’m Lilly, what’s your name? I have been with my owners since I was 6 weeks old but now I’m 5 ½ years old. I weigh in at a girly 135lbs but the boys say it’s all in the right places. I am current on all my vaccinations because my owners take good care of me. I am the Alpha between me and my brother Boomer also listed here. I’m looking for a home for me and Boomer or a new home for me alone. I love meeting new people, but you have to let me approach them at my pace. I wonder about a few of them people we come across from time to time. I hate loud noises especially the vacuum cleaner so don’t expect me to be cleaning any floors any time soon. I am a very loving girl that loves to sit on your lap if you’ll let me. If you want to become my new master you will need a strong personality to prove to me that you are the master. You have to understand that I will jump around when you get home because I will be sooo happy to see you again. I will talk to you too, I howl to talk to you and sing when your cell phone rings, as long the ring tone is a good one. (My eyes are closed and my paws are crossed) I wish that my new master has a fenced yard so that I can run around in. And I wish that my new master understands that I don’t like to take baths or be groomed. Ok, overall I am a very loving and good girl. So let us see where this relationship goes, fill out an application right here. 9/12/2009
Moses: Hieeeee! I’m Moses. Yea, yea, yea, that’s meeeee I’m tu, tu, tu, two years old and oh my goodness am I so active. I just came back from playing near the pond, oh I love the pond, ponds are great! I am a rough coat with a full mantle and a partial mask. But that mask thing doesn’t bother me, I look like ZORO! Oh if I only had a sword If I only had a sword I would stand atop a picnic table and yell, “Viva los Saint Bernards!” Oh I have to find a sword now… I love to play and am always happy and smiling. My vaccinations are current and I am neutered. Don’t worry you will not get puppies from me, I have no time with saving the world and all. Oh yea, I have to find a sword. I am good with other dogs, cats and children of all ages. Someone once said that I could use some obedience training, ohhhhhhh, if I only had a sword then. But if you choose to be my new master I will take your training and make you proud. Proud that I listen and proud that I can save the world! Oooo! I can defend the world from the edge of my pond. If you don’t have a pond I will defend your fenced yard, “Viva los Saint Bernards!” I hear that if you take me on walks, which I love, I will calm down. So for giving me good exercise and teaching me to follow commands I will protect you and love you to the very end, “VIVA LOS SAINT BERNARDS!” Yours truly, Moses P.S. Don’t forget to ask for an application AND that I get a sword. “VIVA!” 8/8/2009
Maddie: Hello there my friendly folks for I am Maddie! I might only be two years old but I have lots of energy needed to be wasted and a nice home sounds like just a place to let off some steam. I am already spayed, vaccinated, (Oh I fear the H1N1) I have also been heartworm tested and started on monthly flea and heartworm treatments. I will need some house training but if you adopt me I will be sure to do my best and try. I love being outdoors and to be played with. If you adopt me I will love you with my big heart until the day you die. If you get one of those application forms you’ll be making the best choice in your life. So go ahead and get one go ahead get an application here. 7/5/2009
