Ringosouthern utah adoptable pets RINGO

Ringo is your typical sweet, mischievous, 10-week old puppy. He’s smart, fun, loves to play. He will get into things he shouldn’t but will grow up with the proper education to be a fantastic dog. Ringo might need a refresher when he moves into a home but he does know how to use the doggy door at That BAM Place. Ringo is looking for a foster-to-adopt home with the adoption finalizing when he is neutered. He will only be placed locally in order to assure he keeps his neuter appointment. His adoption fee is $150. To find out more about Ringo, contact by text or phone, Julie at (435) 773-5209.

Rubysouthern utah adoptable pets RUBY

This is one darling little Beagle. If you love Beagles, you’ll love Ruby. Still such a sweet girl … even after her trauma. She was injured when she fell from a car (Ruby should always be seat belted!) when she stood up to look out the window and rolled down the automatic window. Her belly and paws were horribly burned when she skidded along the pavement. She’s been in foster care recovering for a while but is looking for a family now. She does still need to have her paws seen by the vet and wrapped for a while longer. For that reason, she’s looking for a foster-to -adopt family. In other words, the family will be a foster family until her final vet check and then will become her adoptive family. To find out more about Ruby, text or call Julie at (435) 773-5209. Ruby’s adoption fee is $125.

 

Abbeysouthern utah adoptable pets ABBEY

Abbey joined the BAM family with her own family in tow — see our foster-to-adopt boys Paul and Ringo — but is now ready to put that life behind her. This looker is also a smarty pants. Abbey will roll over like it’s a party trick: she’s so excited to show it off and get praise or a treat in return. Abbey is also house-trained and knows to “kennel up” at BAM’s adoption center when it’s time for the volunteers to leave. She enjoys spending time with other dogs but she’s a big strong girl so they would want to introduce your dog(s) to her before finalizing an adoption to best ensure success. Abbey loves to play fetch and enjoys chew bones and toys in general — you just have to make sure she doesn’t destroy them unless that’s allowed. If you’re looking to add an eager-to-please, smart and fun-loving dog to your life please call or text Julie at (435) 773-5209 to arrange to meet Abbey. Her adoption fee is $125.

Rocky

Rocky is a handsome young dog, dark gray in color and approximately 3 years old. He’s very sweet and loving, and there is no place he’d rather be than in your lap. Although a bit cautious at first, he warms up quickly. He would be okay with older, respectful children but no toddlers, please. Rocky would do best in a home with another dog as he does have some separation anxiety. He knows some basic commands and enjoys trips to the dog park. He walks well on a leash and enjoys car rides. Rocky’s adoption fee is $125. To make an appointment to meet him, contact Phyllis at (435) 705-9227.

Harleysouthern utah adoptable pets Harley

Harley is a sweet, loving, loyal young dog who gets along well with other dogs. He’s a “tweener” meaning he’s between a little dog and big dog and is the perfect size. He is good with older children but how he handles young children is unknown since they have none with whom to test him. BAM believes he would be fine with a child of any age as long as the child is respectful. He is housebroken using a doggy door, crate trained and likes to go for car rides. He still has that puppy energy and his worst habit seems to be jumping when he’s overly excited. His adoption fee is $125. To set a time to meet Harley please text or call Julie at (435) 773-5209.

Princesssouthern utah adoptable pets PRINCESS

Princess could have easily been named after an Egyptian pharaoh with her striking “eyeliner.” This young adult has a lot of life ahead of her and would love to find someone interested in continuing the basic obedience training she’s learning in foster care (she already knows “sit” and has mastered puppy dog eyes). She is a solid girl but not too tall and is as affectionate as she is smiley! Princess enjoys being around her people and will do best in a home without small children. Having another dog as a companion and playmate could be ideal. They aren’t completely sure what breed blend Princess is but did learn in their adoption center that she’s a skilled jumper though she hasn’t displayed the same when around baby gates in her foster home. Given her abilities, a person or family looking for a walking/hiking companion or with a tall-fenced yard for her to be outside off-leash would be best. Knowledge or experience with strong breeds would be a bonus for Princess. Contact Alison by text at (541) 936-1766 (or leave a voicemail for a call back) or email admin@becauseanimalsmatter.com if you would like to learn more or to schedule a meet and greet for you (and your dog).

Booh will seek out your attention by meowing, purring loudly and tapping you on the shoulder. She’s not so friendly with other cats and will hiss and swat them away. Born around 2006, she came from a California shelter. Booh was not so friendly when she first arrived here, but we helped her out with some medical and dental issues and she’s now sweeter and happier than ever.
