Sam the poodle mix is a recent return. He is not fond of rough playtime with people like what others dogs may enjoy, but if you're hoping for a calmer boy that loves affection and exploring, Sam is your guy! Don't let his long legs fool you, he's a smaller framed boy under 30lbs.

Volunteer Barb took him on an adventure to the shop local market and then to VIPet Services Training class. He was so calm traveling in the car. While at the market, they stopped to see friends at Field With Love All-Natural Dog Treats, and he was so well behaved amongst all the activity. He enjoyed all the pets he got while there!

At VIP training class, he was a little aloof at first, but was very responsive for the duration and did great. He was the sweetest boy, so of course they finished off with a stop at Starbucks for a pup cup!

For Gus' latest adventure, he went out on the Myakkahatchee trails and then headed to the Shop local North Port Market.

This was volunteer Billy's first time taking Gus and he raved about how GREAT Gus was!

Gus is an extremely smart boy that learns quickly and wants to be your buddy. He may start out a bit timid in new situations or with strangers, but he's improved with every experience because of our volunteers building his confidence.

He was so at ease on the trails, sitting and laying on command along the way. Gus did great at the market walking amongst all the people, other dogs, and noises. Anytime he was timid, he would relax after Billy gave him the reassurance he needed. By the end of their time at the market, he was wandering comfortably.

Update: adoption completed

PENDING ADOPTION: Here's what volunteer Barb had to say after her recent adventure with Snickerdoodle the Havinese/Poodle mix.

"Snickerdoodle is the perfect pup. He is the greatest passenger and loved greeting everyone at Home Depot and the Shop Local North Port Market. Enjoyed a stroll around Cocoplum plaza followed by a delicious pup cup"

🚨Please note and share:
Save This Life Microchip has closed its doors! 🚨

If your pet was microchipped with a Save This Life chip, the chip is still good! You do not need a new chip!
But you must be re-registered with a new company.
Some companies are offering discounted or free registration.

‼️WHAT THIS MEANS FOR RESCUE GARAGE DOGS:
Rescue Garage did, at one time use Save This Life chips. We did not use them long as they had poor customer service and registration was complicated for clinics and rescues.

We are going through old records and attempting to contact those adopters.
How do you know if your pets chip is from SaveThis Life?

❗️If the microchip number starts with 991 or 900164 then it is a Save This Life microchip. Otherwise it is from another brand.

❤️If you have adopted from Rescue Garage, and have a chip that is from Save This Life, please bring your dog to Rescue Garage, or contact us, and we will register your dog with our current microchip company, who we are VERY satisfied with. This will cost you NOTHING!

If you have a pet with a Save This Life Chip and did NOT adopt from us, we can still help you register your pet with the company we use and have used for quite some time!

The microchip company we use is Fi Nano.

If you need to register a chip- from ANY company, you can do so at NO charge here:

nano.tryfi.com/register

There is NO fee. It is completely searchable on the universal AAHA microchip lookup platform.

Please contact us if you need help. ❤️🐾❤️
We are also happy to scan your dog and help you with this.

Texas-based pet microchip company Save This Life abruptly closed this week, causing concern among veterinary practitioners and pet owners.

🌹 Looking for the perfect Valentine to steal your heart? Meet Mr. Dale! 🌹

Dale is a sweet, single gentleman searching for his forever love. At 2 years old and weighing in at a charming 10 pounds, this dashing Chihuahua has all the makings of a true snuggle bug.

🐾 Here’s the scoop on Dale:
• He’s great with his current roommates (other dogs).
• He’s okay with cats but prefers they give him a little space—he’s still figuring out their mysterious ways.
• Dale is learning to walk on a leash, and he’s proving he’s not just a pretty face—this smart boy is catching on quickly!

While he’s making great strides, Dale will need a patient and loving home to help him continue his journey.

💖 Could Dale be your Valentine this year?
