ADOPTION PENDING – Our vet has recommended that all dogs under 6 months not to spay or neuter the pups because they are too young and their bodies are not fully developed.  Adoption donation includes transport and all vaccinations, except for the Lyme—therefore, the dogs will not need to get any vaccinations for the first year.

ADOPTED ON 02-14-18:  Kaley is a ball of cuteness! This furry gal is intelligent, loving and a real of pleasure to watch. When you meet her and see her fun-loving personality you will be compelled to join in her game and your years will melt away because you will feel like a kid again!  She is an awesome, energetic, happy normal puppy that is social and caring!  She is extremely playful, and very, very affectionate. Once you meet her it will be hard not to fall in love her happy go lucky smile towards other dogs and with people of all ages.

Not only is Kaley an affectionate puppy, she is playful, alert, self-confident and bright. She is described as a spirited puppy that enjoys life to the fullest! She giggles with glee as she romps with her sister and the other foster dogs in her LA foster home. As most puppy’s with full belly’s and not a care in the world, she chases them and loves to be chased equally by her other four-legged friends. This little girl wonder will not need an excessive amount of exercise, but she’s up for about anything you want her to engage in with you or other dogs no matter the size or age or gender.

Through no fault of their own, dogs in the south are left by the road to make it on their own, over and over again. Kaley and Sissy are victims of being born in a place where there are many dogs and no solutions. Kaley’s story is heartfelt, she was found by a stranger who could not take care of the pups herself but stopped anyways and got them to someone who could. This chain of hero’s have a network in the south and each of them has a small part that helps these extraordinary dogs to safety—they are the Village. The remarkable people who make rescue achievable could not walk away from Kaley and her sibling even though her southern foster had 10 rescue dogs herself—now she has at least 12. We can’t ever envision having 12 dogs in our own home, nerveless, puppies but a rescuer’s spirit is pure and giving. Puppies come into this world with a clean slate. Kaley’s life is full of play, good food, afternoon naps in the sun and kisses daily from her rescuer that examines every spot on her.

The Saint Bernard are very gentle, loving and intelligent dogs. They are eager to please their families and are good with children, which makes them a great family pet!  It is believed that the Saint Bernard was used to be a rescue dog for travelers crossing from Switzerland to Italy. We think there that she might have part Spaniel, see more about the breed below, so she might not be as big as St Bernard.

If you are looking to make a difference this year to a deserving dog in need and are fond of the St. Bernard breed, then don’t wait; Kaley will be ready for adoption to come north and go to her new home in February.  Don’t miss out on this charming little baby buttercup!
