Adoptable Dogs & Puppies

helping people help animals since 2005

Adoptable SCAA dogs & puppies

Adoptable means an animal has received at least the vet care basics of health checks, parasite control, vaccinations, and spay / neuter (or subsidy for future surgery). Rescues generally require more intensive test & treatment to be healthy enough to even begin vaccinations. During their time in foster care SCAA & our vet partner PAW do our best to address all medical issues.

From a behavior perspective, kittens are toilet trained from an early age, while puppies take more time. Foster animals can be highly social and confident with everyone, or take time to trust a limited circle of people. Fosters awaiting adoption have demonstrated they'll make a good pet for a well-suited home based on their foster home experience.

health

Dogs have Drontal & Revolution for parasite control and receive DHPPI, Lepto, and Rabies vaccinations. We generally spay / neuter puppies between 6 & 8 months of age, depending on their size and development.

training & temperament

Foster parents help our dogs & puppies develop into great pets. Walking on a leash (always), toilet training, safe play habits with people & other dogs, and positive reinforcement for learning basic commands get rescues ready.

Wang Wang

Male 2.5 years

Wang Wang was rescued in January 2020, before Chinese Year holidays when his caregivers at a fruit shop were leaving Shanghai for an extended period of time. People who took him from the street as a homeless puppy months before were worried about bringing him to a rural area where dog catchers are common.

Meeting Wang Wang, you can see he's smart & takes time to evaluate new people and situations. Once you've met Wang Wang, he remembers you & is so excited to see his friends. This young dog enjoys chest rubs & laying in the sunshine.
Wang Wang is fostered with teens & makes a nice family pet. His occasionally playful mouthing is not suited to toddlers.

Wang Wang is the picture of good health. He was already neutered when SCAA took him in, and since then he's had updated parasite control and vaccinations. An ideal dog for active people who enjoy getting out of the house with their canine companion. Wang Wang gets along with some dogs (usually small females) better than others. He doesn't like cats and will bark at them. Wang Wang isn't all play - he loves a spot of sunshine and a soft pet bed.

Jones

Jones 4 years+

QUIET | SWEET | NEEDY | WELL-TRAINED

Jones is a lovely dog who bonds closely to his caregivers and prefers hanging around with his people at home or a quiet cafe to noisy dog-friendly outings.
A homebody, Jones is oblivious to any challenges posed by his missing front paw. Other than not being suitable for a 4-storey walk-up apartment, Jones is a good fit for many homes.

Found over 4 years ago as a badly injured pup, Jones' paw had to be amputated. He zooms around just fine without it.
When Jones' rescuer had to leave Shanghai. Jones spent a long time in boarding. He's more sensitive to noise & activity now but if a real companion is what you're looking for, Jones is the right dog for you. He's healthy & up to date on all vet care.

Thanks to professional photographer Allen Lee of PawPaw Studio for showing how gorgeous Jones is inside and out. If you a quiet home and are keen to meet this fluffy tripod dog, join SCAA at an Adoption Day for our foster animals or get in touch with us about Jones: director@scaashanghai.org.

Dorothy

Female 6+ years

GENTLE | CURIOUS | WELL-TRAINED | FAMLY & PET FRIENDLY

Although it's no guessing game when he was found, Halloween's rescue story took an unexpected turn when he fell ill soon after rescuer. Passing vet staff spotted him getting nabbed by Shanghai's dog management team and they thankfully handed him over.
His relatively good condition when found helped get him through Canine Parvovirus.

Halloween's unlucky health issues are behind him, thanks to attentive PAW care. He's fully vaccinated and neutered and looking every bit the happy & healthy dog. This sweet dog's shiny and soft coat is irresistible, so it's a great thing Halloween enjoyed head pats from people he knows. He warms up to strangers quickly and prefers to stick close to you to just hang out.

A spry, happy, and loyal dog, Halloween is a great pet for any home with the time to meet his needs. With his health issues behind him and recent vet care, he's all set for a good long while. Single, couple, family with kids, or home with other pets, Halloween will fit in nicely.

Bu Bu

Male under 2 years

HIGH-ENERGY | FRIENDLY | STRONG | WELL-TRAINED | MUST HAVE HOME WITH YARD

When Bu Bu's rescuers found him wandering in the suburbs last year, they probably had no idea of the effort needed to help this enthusiastic Malamute.
Bu Bu doesn't have a microchip & efforts to locate an owner yielded no leads. And so Bu Bu's road to health & re-homing began!

Most young dogs have energy to spare, but not many carry 40 kilos of playfulness. Bu Bu has worked hard with his training to reign in his impulse to leap for joy meeting new people. He's a well-mannered dog who thrives on running, walking, playing, and making friends. If anyone is wary, it doesn't take long to see what a sweetie he is.

Bu Bu is fully vaccinated and neutered. He's calmed a lot in his nearly one year of care and training, but is not suited to apartment living. He absolutely MUST have a home with a yard. Applications for adoption from suitable homes are most welcome. Bu Bu is a big dog with lots of affection to give to owners ready to make a big commitment to meet his needs.
