My story

　　Please go to our website at  to find out more about this pet and to submit an adoption application.  Please DO NOT call or email us; all information about current dogs available, adoption donations, vetting, and this specific dog are on our website. We are a non-profit organization and we are completely 100% volunteer run. We DO NOT have a shelter and only approved applicants can make appointments with our foster homes to meet the dogs we have.Our volunteers will not discuss dogs we have available for adoption UNTIL you have an application on file and are approved to adopt.General Notes | Who hates going to the restroom alone?! Well with Savannah, you'll never have to be alone again, as she is the sweetest shadow (even as an escort to the bathroom) :) She loves being loved on & will give you a paw to remind you to keep petting her. She runs to the windows with her foster siblings when they go look outside. She hasn't showed interest in toys until recently. We love seeing them come out of their shell! This sweet senior will make the perfect companion.  Want to adopt this dog?  Please do not email us.  Please fill out the Adoption Application ASAP.   Health Notes | Happy & Healthy !Other Dogs | Savannah gets along great with her foster brother & sister. She loves to run with them to fetch tennis balls. She isn't the fastest but has funCats | She has never been introduced to catsChildren | She has never been introduced to childrenTraining | No need to crate this girl, she is not destructive. She will find a soft spot to nap on your couch when you're gone. She knows "sit", "down", and "paw". She has mastered the dog door at her foster home. Leash | Savannah walks great on a leash! She doesn't pull a whole lot; she is just happy to be on a walk! She is learning not to swerve back & forth in front of her human.Activity Level | Savannah loves to go on walks but is totally content laying next to you. She will run after tennis balls. She hasn't gotten one yet but her foster brother & sister are super fast. Personality | Perfection says foster mom when asked to describe this girl :)   This girl loves her humans and will be your sweet shadow. It's hard knowing what exactly their past was like but she still has so much love to give even in her senior years. She LOVES treats and food. She does a little happy dance for breakfast & dinner. Her foster mom laughs because she does the same :)Story | Her owner passed away & was taken in by another family member. She was ultimately surrended to the shelter so she could have a better life somewhere else. Thank you! | Adoption Donations | Our adoption donations are $350 for dogs 8 weeks to 1 year, $300 for 1-6 years, $250 for dogs 7-10 years, and $100 for 11+ years of age. Purebred dogs regardless of age are $400. These minimum donations help to defer the costs of initial vet care, food, and supplies while in foster care that currently average over $500 per dog).Meeting Dogs | Foster dogs may have meet & greets by appointment to approved applicants only.  To become an approved applicant - please complete the application process.Please know | Available dogs are updated as soon as possible and we do our best to keep it up-to-date, but occasionally dogs shown may become unavailable without notice due to a pending adoption.We encourage you to put in an application even if you don't see your new family member currently, as once you are approved, we can place you on the waiting list for first priority on the selection of the dogs we do bring in. That means you can often meet a dog upon transport arrival and adopt before they even make it to this page!We can not guarantee that a dog you wish to adopt is available by the time your adoption application is submitted, processed, and approved.  Your application is good for 90 days from the time of approval for any dog as long as it is a good fit for your family and your lifestyle. 

　　If you have any questions or would like to adopt Santa Clara / Savannah, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
