The Rescue Round-Up
One Step Closer Animal Rescue (O.S.C.A.R.)
Isabella is a 1-year-old 28-pound Corgi/black Labrador Retriever mix. She is playful, energetic, happy, and has personality galore. Isabella is currently being fostered with another dog and the family has very young children. She does great with the kids and plays nicely with their dog. Isabella is good on a leash and enjoys going for walks. She is a well-rounded dog who can fit into most families.
Joe is a 5-year-old German Shepherd who is a very loving guy. He is great with other dogs and prefers a home with a canine pal. When you first meet Joe, he will act shy and submissive, but after spending a little time with him, he opens right up. He will give you his paw and nestle into you. Joe wants nothing more than a loving home to call his own. O.S.C.A.R.’s dog trainer (who is fostering Joe) says it’s very easy to fall in love with him and whoever adopts him will be so happy they did. He shows no signs of back leg issues, and loves to be outdoors. Joe is house-trained, walks well on a leash, and is crate-trained. He is basically a very large lap dog.

Eleventh Hour Rescue
Reggie is an 8-year-old bloodhound mix who is very laid back and easy going. Typical of the breed, his nose can follow a scent wherever it leads him. And when he’s done sniffing every smell in town, a nice quiet nap does this old man well. Currently, Reggie is in a foster home with other dogs, which he likes, but he prefers quiet time over active puppy play and would be just as happy to be left alone for that afternoon nap. He is crate-trained and house-trained and doesn’t put a lot of time demands on his masters. And if you want, he’ll help you finish that big sandwich of yours, if you leave it within his reach.
Josh Hayden is a 2-year-old bull terrier mix who is deaf, but his disability doesn’t slow him down a bit. With a heightened sense of smell and keen eyesight, this lovable guy doesn’t miss a thing. It is true that if he’s in a deep sleep it is possible to startle him, but if you do, he’ll pop right up with a smile on his face and a big wag in his tail. He is a favorite at the kennel and all the volunteers take every chance they can to work with him. In fact, he has progressed far enough now that Josh Hayden knows some basic hand signals for sit, stay, and down. There’s no telling how far this dog can go in learning new things since he’s so willing to please.
