Adoptable SCAA Dogs & Puppies
|
Health
SCAA foster puppies & dogs ready for adoption have:
Vaccines are started when fosters are healthy at either at 10 weeks old or 7-10 days from rescue with a next set 4-5 weeks later. Their rabies vaccination is not an official one. Spay / Neuter is generally done at around 6 - 7 months of age. For animals too young for surgery on adoption, SCAA offers half-price surgery costs at PAW for adopters. |
Training & Temperament
A foster dog's temperament and training varies based on their pre-rescue conditions (if known), condition on rescue, age, socialization, and time in foster care. All foster dogs are adoptable. Every foster dog has a well-suited home waiting, from kid-friendly to quiet. Foster parents work on toilet training, walking foster dogs on a leash (it's safe and the law), and socializing dog with new experiences with different people, pets, and situations. Foster dog adoptions may be finalized at the Shenpu Pet Hospital, where adopters take the first step in licensing their new dog. |

Luna is one of the loveliest dogs we've ever met. She's happy, gentle, affectionate, and an overall pushover when it comes to meeting new people; she doesn't hesitate to greet you by rolling over and flashing her belly. Scratch her chest and you're best friends forever.
Found all alone during Chinese New Year holidays, Luna was leaning against a building to shelter herself from the rain. She was surrounded by cartons of convenience store snacks and milk that people had been leaving for her. She'd obviously been there a few days. Luna's rescuer need not cautiously approach her - she immediately came over, wagging her tale, then did her signature back roll / belly up move. The rest, as they say, is history.
Luna is is healthy and was recently spayed. She's well-trained and enjoyed some rope toys for chewing. She walks well on a lead, with the caveat that Luna doesn't really walk much at all. We can tell her previous owners didn't exercise her often. She's slowly taking to being more active and is losing a bit of weight.
An ideal family dog or canine companion for anyone with enough time to meet Luna's needs and introduce her to plenty of new friends for some socializing and of course belly rubs.

RUSTY Male > 3 years

Rusty is one of the luckiest rescues of the year. He was found by foster parents walking into their lane late on night. Rusty was emaciated, shaved, and sitting next to his cage with water bowl and leash.
In foster care, Rusty's turnaround has been amazing thanks to plenty of TLC and PAW care. On rescue we worried about Rusty's extremely thin frame and the frequency and amount he peed. Tests showed he was suffering from mild renal failure.
Fast forward a few months and Rusty has recovered normal renal function and filled out nicely - no more ribs or tailbone visible! He's adjusted well to family foster homes, including with a toddler and a foster cat. Rusty does well with toilet training and walks on leash.
Sometimes Rusty doesn't like other dogs and some people (usually men). It's hard to say what triggers some barking and pulling on his lead, as it can be male or female and big or small dogs. But generally Rusty is well behaved and happy around people and pets. He's acquiesced to foster cat Ellie's determined efforts to befriend him and is learning to play with her. Rusty is a good family dog but is a single dog.
