If you are considering adopting from SSMR, but do not see a dog that interests you, please consider filling out an adoption application and going through the approval process. That way, if a dog that matches your needs comes in, it can greatly expedite the adoption process. We often check with our list of approved homes when a dog first comes in to see if there is a potential match – and sometimes those dogs go straight to their new homes after their vet work is complete instead of going on the website. We update the available dogs weekly, so check back often.

🐾 𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐬: 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐰 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐧 💕
🌸 From the depths of a crowded Alabama shelter, 𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐬 emerged—sweet, soft-eyed, and quietly longing for a human heart to call her own. At just 3.5 years old, this beautiful fawn-colored girl has known sadness but never stopped believing in love. Her gentle gaze says it all: “I’m ready for my forever.”
👩👧👦 People are her true north—𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐬 thrives on connection. She wants nothing more than to curl up beside you and simply exist in the comfort of closeness.
🚶♀️ On walks, she’s a dream—steady, calm, and alert. Her eyes follow fluttering rabbits with curiosity, hinting at a light prey drive, but she remains composed. She greets other pups and people with quiet interest, never overwhelming, always observing...❤️ 💕
