Rescue Me

Meet Sultan!

2009-07-17T08:36:00.000-04:00

Meet Sultan, a super striking 2 year old South Asian Ovtcharka. He is gorgeous and very lovable. He is already neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and housebroken. He would prefer a home without cats.

He would also like a home with big dog experience. Sultan is absolutely gorgeous, although someone thought he would look better with cropped ears. Now, he has these little furry tuffs instead. Sultan is a fantastic dog who is so excited for his forever home.

We met Sultan through Almost Home Animal Sanctuary in Limekiln, Pennsylvania.

Meet Shadow!

2009-07-16T06:55:00.000-04:00

The Portuguese Water Dog has been getting a lot of press lately, but its neighbor from Catalonia in northern Spain is just as fetching (no pun intended). Shadow is a smart-looking one-year-old Catalan Sheepdog mix who is on the lookout for an active adult home without small children or small dogs.

Shadow is housebroken. He is anxious to work on his basic commands and enjoy doing all of the things that a family dog gets to do. Get acquainted with Shadow off leash in one of our family run areas. Most dogs will need to run off some energy before they settle down to get acquainted with you.

We found Shadow currently being cared for by Orphans of the Storm Animal Shelter in Deerfield, Illinois.

Meet Jacobi!

2009-07-15T07:14:00.000-04:00

Jacobi is a playful, energetic boy who is a natural comedian and intensely devoted to his family. He loves to play with squeaky toys and romp around in the yard, but he's also a fan of crashing on the couch with 'his' person to watch TV at the end of the day.

He's goofy and eager to please, well-mannered in public, and a great low-maintenance buddy to have around the house.

Crate trained and housebroken, Jacobi also responds to sit, down, stay, here, shake hands, and kennel. While he is well-behaved other animals and coexists with them in his foster home, he is best suited for an only-pet home where he doesn't have to compete for attention.

Jacobi is on the small side for a Presa and will probably top out around 95-100 lbs.

We found Jacobi currently being cared for by Animal Action Rescue in Decatur, Georgia.

Meet Jimmy!

2009-07-14T09:21:00.000-04:00

Jimmy is an absolutely lovable dog with a great temperament who wants to be with and please his people at all times. His zest for life and everything is easily transferred to training. His motto is "will do anything for food!" Jimmy spends most of his walks off-leash as we live in a rural area. He has a very good recall and while he likes to check things out he is very good about not going too far and checking in.

Jimmy's on-leash walking is coming along well too. Jimmy is great with other dogs and of course loves all people! Jimmy does chase our barn cats (who won't be needing the best diet pills anytime soon), but has met indoor cats and he was very good with them. He would do fine in any home with kids, cats and/or dogs. Although he is energetic, he does love to curl up with his people and sleep for hours as well.

Jimmy has been working at obedience and is doing really well!! He's quick to catch on! He will make someone a fantastic pet!!

We met Jimmy through New Hope Dog Rescue in Saskatoon, SK.

Meet BJ!

2009-07-13T08:00:00.000-04:00

Buddy has completed the Ohio State Cell Dog Training program successfully! He is now available for adoption having completed basic obedience. Buddy weighs 92 lbs and is about three years old. He is neutered, housebroken and up to date on his vaccinations.

Buddy is crate trained. He is strong and does require and fenced yard and will be best matched with an experienced owner. Bud is a great big lovable goof ball and has the handsomest amber eyes you have ever seen!!

We found BJ currently being cared for by Tails of Hope Sanctuary in Mount Airy, Maryland.

Meet Lava!

2009-07-12T09:01:00.003-04:00

At just a little over one Lava is full of puppy energy! He is looking for a avid runner or outdoors person/family to match his energetic personality. With a strong lean athletic build Lava makes the perfect companion for all your outdoor excursions. With his loving personality he relishes the attention and love from his people.

He would do best with another youngish canine companion to play with and a family that understands that he is still just a pup! And I would bet he would love a nice den with a backsplast of metal tiles to keep it clean. Lava has been known to be way too curious and dare I say annoying to both the bovine and feline sort. His rescuers are eager to find the active family looking for a little canine inspiration to run loyally by their side!

We met Lava currently being cared for by Rocky Mountain Labrador Retriever Rescue.

Meet Holly!

2009-07-10T07:44:00.000-04:00

Meet Clover!

2009-07-09T07:25:00.000-04:00

Clover is a 1 year old, 28 lb. Skye Terrier. She has a mellow, mild and even tempered disposition. This beauty is somewhat demure, yet friendly, playful and fun loving. Beyond sweet and very endearing, she is a heart stealer.

Clover loves her toys and chewies, and loves to play with other dogs and gets along very well with them. She is an inquisitive and extremely happy and joyful baby. She wants nothing more than to spend time with you, play with her toys and enjoy a nice chewie.

She is a beautiful and special girl who amazingly is still waiting for her forever home. This breed is versatile. They do well being couch potatoes and don't require much exercise (even suitable for apartment/condo dwellers!) but at the same time are always ready for hikes and day trips if you are.

We met Clover through Precious Paws Asian and Small Breed Dog Rescue, Inc. in Alcoa, Tennessee.

Meet Zippy!

2009-07-08T10:36:00.000-04:00

Zippy is a darling, young split-face, neutered male Smooth Fox Terrier. Zippy isn't good with other animals, but loves people. He must go to a home with no children around and no other pets.

Zippy is located near San Diego. When it is just one on one with his person, Zippy is great. Zippy loves to share your bed and be with you. A person working from home or retired and active would be a perfect home. And if you've got a piano, you may want to pick out some soothing piano sheet music to play for him to welcome him home!

We met Zippy through American Fox Terrier Rescue - Southern California in Somis, California.

She is very loving and playful, great with children, cats and other dogs. Emily is not only super cute, but also a great dog!

This is Mia, and she is a very energetic girl! She loves to play, and she loves to play in the kiddie swimming pool, its the only way you can cool down when you are doing time in the big house.

If you point your finger at her and say bang, she will fall down and play dead. Mia is looking to get paroled to a wonderful family that will love and take great care of her.

We met Mia through Safe Harbor for Pets in Kansas City, Kansas.

Meet Ariel!

2009-07-05T07:14:00.002-04:00

Ariel is around 2 and a half years old and weighs around 11 lbs. She is super friendly but not hyper. She wiggles her whole body when she sees you and gives the gentlest kisses.

For most of her life, she was a breeder's dog but now she will make a great family pet. She adores attention and would be best with someone willing to spend some time training her since she is very smart. She learns quickly and would make a great obedience or agility dog.

She likes to play with other dogs, has great 'doggie manners', and is very interested in cats but has not chased them.

We met Ariel through Midwest Dog Rescue Network in Council Bluffs, Iowa.

Meet Chachi!

2009-07-04T07:05:00.000-04:00

They came from a gassing shelter in Ohio, and they think they are collie/wire-haired terrier mix. They are about 4 months old and should be a medium size when grown.

We found Chachi currently being cared for by Last Day Dog Rescue in Southfield, Michigan.

Meet Lincoln!

2009-07-03T07:59:00.002-04:00

Lincoln is supposed to be a pure bred yorkie per the commercial kennel he came from, but with his shaved coat, we are wondering if there might be some schnauzer in there????

Either way, he is a cute & very sweet boy & we are delighted to have him! :) Lincoln is easy to handle & doing well with his crate training.

We found Lincoln currently being cared for by Homeward Bound Animal Welfare Group, Inc., in Mishawaka, Indiana.

Meet Simba!

2009-07-02T07:11:00.000-04:00

Simba is a very friendly medium-sized mutt mix who has the markings of a Bernese Mountain Dog, though we don't know his background. He's a bit shy at first, but his sweet nature means that he'll probably just bury his head in your lap and wait for love.

We met Simba through Highland Lakes SPCA in Marble Falls, Texas.

Meet Peter!

2009-07-01T07:27:00.001-04:00

Peter is a male bichon who was born on 03/01/08. He weighs 15 pounds. He was surrendered to Small Paws when his elderly owner could not care for him.

Peter is sweet and friendly. Children in the home must be aged 10 and over as he hasn't been observed with smaller children. He walks well on a leash. Peter is being fostered in Oklahoma. You may want to pick up a new Grohe faucet to fill up his water bowl, before taking him to his furever home!

We met Peter through Small Paws Rescue Inc., in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Meet Kody!

2009-06-30T07:01:00.000-04:00

Kody is around 4 years old. He is housebroken, crate trained, heartworm negative, neutered and up to date on shots. Kody has a special wiggle dance he does when he is happy, his entire hind end wiggles around while he dances his excitement.

He is a very affectionate boy, who enjoys plenty of snuggle time - but still enjoys playing. He does well with other dogs and ignores cats. The vet thinks he was either hit by car when he was young or has a slightly 'off'' backend. It doesn't slow him down, he just appears to walk on his toes and sits straight legged. Kody would do best in a home without small children.

We met Kody through Basset and Beagle Rescue of the Heartland in Shawnee Mission, Kansas.

For more information about Kody, click here!

Meet Tiramasu!

2009-06-29T06:37:00.000-04:00

Tiramisu and her sister Empanada were going to be euthanized at a shelter that doesn't adopt out pit bull or pit mixes. Their mother is thought to be a pit bull, but they look more like chocolate labs mixed with German pointer.

Tiramisu is up-to-date with routine shots and spayed/neutered.

We found Tiramisu currently being cared for by The Sula Foundation in New Orleans, Louisana.

Meet Doug!

2009-06-28T06:36:00.000-04:00

Doug is a senior who came from Texas, and by all accounts is a real sweetheart! He'll be 9 in July, and is finally going to have a home to call his own.

He isn't as fast as he used to be and probably won't need any Ferrari parts, but don't let him fool you, he still got a lotta life in him. Not only are seniors the most special group of greyhounds, but those that have never known a home are even more deserving.

We found Doug currently being cared for by Greyhound Pets of America/Nashville in Goodlettsville, Tennessee.

Meet Splice!

2009-06-27T06:47:00.000-04:00

Splice is one handsome 8 year old purebred boxer boy. He is a flashy reverse brindle (tiger brindle) with a docked tail, natural ears, and weighs about 68 lbs. He needs to put on some weight, but is a gentle giant who is an absolute dream to walk. He is housebroken, crate-trained, UTD on shots, heartworm negative, and micro-chipped. He gets along with his other boxer housemates and is now feeling at home enough to play out in the yard with some of the younger "kids."

He is shy at first, but once he get comfortable with you he is ready for lots of ear rubs and tummy rubs. He is good with other dogs, men, women, and older children. We don't know about cats.

If you're looking for an older good-looking boxer boy to welcome in the new year, and who has lots of goods years left to love you even if you have Mesothelioma cancer, come meet Splice.

We found Splice currently being cared for by Mutts -n- Stuff in Saint Charles, Missouri.

Meet Sasha!

2009-06-26T07:37:00.000-04:00

Sasha is a wonderful, happy older Lab mix who obviously had a good home in her younger years. She may be 9 years old (as of 5/4), and is a beautiful girl with a super shiny coat. She is house-trained and sleeps on her bed. She still has plenty of energy (but not too much) and loves to play with her tennis balls and chase a Frisbee.

She is great with everyone she meets, but is a good watchdog when new people come to the house. She loves to ride in the car, or even just sit in the car when we aren't going anywhere...we wonder where she's dreaming of going! Sasha is very good with the other dogs in her foster home, too, which have been energetic puppies of various ages and a middle-aged Lab. Sasha is very smart and is very food-focused.

We met Sasha through Paris Animal Welfare Society in Paris, Kentucky.

Meet Ruby!

2009-06-25T07:07:00.000-04:00

Ruby falls in love with everyone she meets and loves to greet everyone with a hug. She's got big brittany love wrapped up in a tiny little package. Little Miss Ruby weighs in at 28lbs, some of which she can stand to lose. She is a bit of a counter surfer, but is too small to actually reach the counter tops so she is more of a browser. She is quite spunky and acts much younger than she looks.

She loves to run around the yard, making sure no birds land in it. If you're looking for a great companion, look no further than Ruby.

We found Ruby currently being cared for by American Brittany Rescue, Inc., in Earlville, Illinois.

Meet Lilly!

2009-06-24T07:08:00.000-04:00

Look in those eyes. How could anyone resist? Lilly's story is a common one. Most likely picked up as a puppy from a free to good home ad she found herself in a loving home. But after awhile Lilly became old news and her family no longer cared for her. Constantly ignored, when all she wanted was a few minutes of attention a day.

Years later Lilly's family decided they did not want her anymore and would get a new puppy, and just like that Lilly was out the door. Lilly is a 10 year old beagle mix who desperately needs a home to spend out her final golden years.

We found Lilly currently being cared for by the Animal Rescue Fund in Muncie, Indiana.
