Tonight I am launching my new series Sunday Saint Showcase. Its my sincerest hopes that Its The Dogs Life will help give rescues and additional platform to reach out to the public on behalf of the wonderful Saints waiting to find their forever family. If you have room in your heart and home to help a Saint in need and would consider Lola, contact Sunny Saints rescue.

Lola is a 3 year old wet mouth, rough coat Saint Bernard that has been used as a breeder and then was dumped at a local shelter, along with her mate Roscoe. When she was spayed, it was discovered that she was in the early stages of yet another pregnancy. Lola is a friendly and outgoing girl that craves love and attention and weighs 120 pounds. Her foster family has taught her some basic obedience and leash manners. She now walks very nicely on a loose leash. She sits nicely if she wants to be petted. She has been socialized with the dogs in her foster home and is showing no aggressive behavior toward them. She needs a forever family to take her to obedience training, and help her to transition into the indoor Saint that she was meant to be and not the backyard puppy factory she has been. Can you offer Lola the good life?
Sunny Saints, Southern California St. Bernard Rescue is a 501(c)3 Non-Profit Corporation (#45-0922994) formed by a group of friends with several years of combined experience in Saint Bernard rescue who share a common philosophy to treat the dogs that we save and the people who foster and adopt them with kindness and dignity.

We are not a shelter facility, so please don’t call and ask if you can come today to see our dogs. All of our Adoptable Saints are in temporary private Foster homes. The first step in our adoption process is to fill out an Adoption Application. After the application has been reviewed and approved, our Adoptions Coordinator will contact you to set up a phone interview. A home visit may be required, and if you live outside of our coverage area, photographs of your home and property may be used as a substitution for the home visit. When your home has been approved, we then set up the meet and greet with the dog that you are interested in. The dog typically can be adopted directly from the meet and greet and you can take your new best friend home with you. Upon adopting, you will be required to sign an adoption contract. An adoption donation is necessary to adopt a dog. Some dogs cost us less to ready for adoption than do others, so the money collected goes toward paying the bills for all our rescued dogs, not just the dog you are adopting.
Sunny Saints was not established to place our rescued dogs in just “any home,” but rather to place them in the “right home.” We are dedicated to sending all of our Sunny Saints to loving, “forever homes” and it is important to us that you know everything that we know about each dog so that you can make an educated decision when adopting a dog from us. It is also equally important for us to know as much as we can about you so that we can help you to find the perfect dog for your situation. If we tell you that a certain dog isn’t right for you, trust us. We want what’s best for both of you.
We will do our very best to give you our honest opinion on the dog you are considering, however, we cannot guarantee the future health, heritage, or temperament of any of our rescue dogs.
All pets in our program will be spayed/neutered prior to adoption unless deemed medically inappropriate. Puppies too young to be spayed/neutered will be placed into their adoptive homes on a foster-to-adopt basis where the adoption will not become official until after they have had their surgery. All dogs will have basic vaccinations, have been wormed and microchipped. Copies of all medical records in our possession will be forwarded to the adopting party. Their foster family will let the adopting family know the type of food they are used to eating so they can have it for them upon bringing the dog home. An adoption donation is required.
Sunny Saints will consider adopting to those who live outside Southern California on a case-by-case basis.
As of July 1, 2011, adoption fees are as follows: Puppies under 1 year of age are $500.00.
Dogs 1 to 4 years are $375.00 and dogs 5 years and older are $300.00.
