Meet Wiggles!

This is Wiggles. She was a stray dog that her rescuers think is around 9 months to around 1 year old. She is a wonderful little dog that is always so happy.


She will make a wonderful addition to a family with slightly older children, since she is a little to excitable for really small toddler aged children.

Wiggles is great on a leash and keeps her kennel pretty clean but she still might need to have a little house training. She only weighs around 6 pounds. Update: Wiggles is now full grown and is around 10 pounds.

We found Wiggles through York Adopt-A-Pet in York, Nebraska.

Meet Minnie!

It appears Minnie was abandoned by her family and left to fend for herself. She was brought to the shelter after sneaking into someone's home through a doggie door looking for something to eat.


Minnie came to rescue quite underweight and was immediately placed on the Shelter Spa Weight Gain & Nutrition Plan! After receiving some good vet care, having a few teeth pulled and a little time on her new diet plan, Minnie was on the road to recovery. She is now looking and feeling quite marvelous, so we're sure you'll want to get some save the date cards to announce your new arrival!

The adversity of her past seems a faint memory, as she is always happy, loving and greets each day with excitement and anticipation of a new adventure. Minnie is friendly with other dogs and seems relatively uninterested in the cats at the shelter. This special girl is so grateful for everything which comes her way. She certainly deserves a new family who will love her and care for her always and forever.

We found Minnie through the Animal Shelter of Wood River Valley in Hailey, Idaho.

Meet Hannah!

Hannah came from a breeder rescue. She was a little shy as first, but that is to be expected due to her background and life so far. She is coming along great and getting more social by the day and started playing with the other dogs. She will make a wonderful pet to a loving familiy.


She is approx 2-3 yrs old, 7.5 lbs spayed and UTD on routine vaccinations. So far she is enjoying her new found freedom and comforts of a real home that she so deserves. Her coat was a little thin when she came in, most likley due to bad diet and/or stress, but it is looking beautiful and soft now. She is a petite, smaller built pom and cute as can be with a wonderful personality. She is doing great with house training and keeps her crate clean at night.

We found Hannah through Rosholt Small Dog Rescue in Rosholt, Wisconsin.

Meet Harley!

Harley is a Dr. Seuss sort of dog... apparently a Basset Hound met a German Shepherd and there was some loving going on. She very much has the typical Basset go with the flow personality. She is great with the other dogs and loves to play, she doesn't love to share her bones with them, but otherwise loves them!


She lives for her walks, does a happy hopping dance when she sees her leash come out. She is relaxed in the house, loves to snuggle, and spends most of her days patrolling the backyard for squirrels and napping in the sunshinie near her people. You'll want to be sure and beef up your hard drives so you can store lots of pics of this cutie! She is housetrained, crate trained, and playful and always good for a laugh. Harley does not appreciate kids in her space so needs a teenager/adult only home. She cannot be placed with cats.

We found Harley through Homeward Bound Rescue in Monticello, Minnesota.

Meet LuLu!

LuLu is a Border Collie mix about 7 months old. Sadly she was surrendered because her owner could no longer care for her.


She is an active puppy, so you'll want to take her with you everywhere....even when you pack up the car with a rackmount and head out for a fun camping trip!

We found LuLu through the Jefferson City Animal Shelter in Jefferson City, Missouri.

Meet Karizma!

Karizma is a 12 year old female Cocker Spaniel Mix. No children or other animals in the home please. This beautiful girl has a bowel disease which causes her to get bladder infections on a regular bases. When these attacks occur, she has to potty all the time and will very often go in the house or wherever she is standing. She will potty sometimes 5 ~ 10 times in a row before settling down.


Her rescuers have her on easily digestible food and some pills to help keep her internal track healthy. Karizma is a sweetheart and will make a tender companion dog to a retired couple.

We found Karizma through Azure's Safe Haven in Orem, Utah.

Meet Jo!

Joe was turned over to us due to his owner's allergies. He is a loyal, loving guy with a great personality and temperament. He is also outgoing and affectionate & deserves a loving family to share life with.


Best of all, he is good with other dogs & loves children. He knows basic commands like sit, stay and shake and is house and leash trained. Joe enjoys the outdoors and likes to be in the water. This handsome guy would love a family and home that he can call his own.

Meet Goldster!

Goldster recently graduated from the Triple Crown Training Academy located in Hutto, TX. She has learned several commands that include basic obedience, off leash training/handling, and basic agility.

Goldster prefers woman over men. And she is very protective of "her" person. She would do best in a household where she is the only pet, and with somebody who will maintain and continue the training she received while in the training academy. And since she's so obedient you won't need any spring plungers, she's gonna go outside!

We found Goldster through 2nd Chance Animal Shelter Cen-Tex Humane Society in Killeen, Texas.

Meet Daisy!

Daisy and her 3 sisters are the pups of a Saint Bernard mother, who was abandoned pregnant and in poor condition. Her puppies are healthy and growing like weeds.


They will be big! Daisy is a good girl. Playful, but not wild. They will make nice pets for someone with a fenced yard. Once you get her home you'll want to pass out the oliva cigars to announce your new arrival!

We found Daisy through the Bunkie Animal Shelter in Bunkie, Louisiana.

Meet Mr. Specs!

Mr. Specs has lived in rescue most of his life. He was the only one of a litter to not be rescued due to having parvo. As soon as he recovered from parvo, he was run over by a car and it did permanent damage to his left shoulder/leg . He is also having issues now with a back leg due to strain on the other legs due to the useless front leg.

Mr. Specs has really had a hard life and is needing someone who is looking for a companion. He is loyal and loving and a big 'ole baby. He has been the "surrogate mother" to many of our rescues and it is time for him to find his forever home. His personality is super and would be great for kids of an older age. He's not quite a runner but gives it all everyday. Mr. Specs is great with other dogs, cats and people, just anything really.

We found Mr. Specs through the Clay County Humane Association in Ivydale, West Virginia.

Meet Joe Joe!

Joe Joe (aka G.I. Joe) is a 1-2 year old Pekingese-Pomeranian mix who weighs 10 pounds. He was rescued from a high kill shelter in Southwest Virginia, so we have no idea why he was given the name G I Joe.

He has a sweet personality and loves to cuddle. Joe Joe is gentle and does fine with children and small dogs, although he is a bit cautious with larger dogs. He is also cautious when first meeting men, and takes some time to warm up to them.

We found Joe Joe through Animal Connections in Troy, Virginia.

Meet Carmelo!

Meet Charlie!

Charlie is very energetic and very playful. Good natured, his new family will need to find creative ways to keep him busy and tired. It may prove a challenge :) Charlie is great with dogs and kids but his strong hunting instincts mean he would do best in a home without cats. He does however promise to keep your yard squirrel-free.


Charlie is housebroken unless you have house plants. He feels the need to pee on them. He is a bit of a chewer (will go for the odd shoe and destroys plush squeeky toys) so make sure he has durable chew toys. He is not a lap dog but may sleep with you at night. Charlie enjoys the art of digging in dirt.

We found Charlie through the Animal Protection League in Columbia, South Carolina.

Meet Dolly!

Dolly is a special needs dog with a very special personality. She adores people, and will dance to be picked up. She only has one eye, and that eye has an advanced cataract, but Dolly learns her space very well.


She always knows when company pulls up and excitedly greets everyone. Never met a stranger. She goes outside and explores, then comes right back up the steps and into the house. She is housebroken.

We met Dolly through Furry Friends Animal Rescue in Thompson Station, Tennessee.

Meet Jilley!

Jilley is a 1 1/2 year old Border Collie, always ready to play. She loves toys and will pick up anything and everything in order to play. She also loves interacting with people to go, go, go, like all young BC's. She is a sweetie, very friendly with everyone and absolutely the sweetest cuddler around.

She loves, loves, loves people! Jilley has a great personality and the energy to match so will need an active home. She could easily do any sport and thrives on challenges and learning. She is about 40 pounds and good with cats. She is safely now in rescue rather than running loose on the streets.

We found Jilley through Glen Highland Farm - Sweet Border Collie Rescue in Morris, New York.

Meet Marvin!

Marvin came to rescue from a PA shelter where he was described as "scared to death, all he does is sit there and shake." Marvin was an owner turn in due to landlord issues. Marvin is a great guy once he knows you and feels comfortable.

If he is scared and can run, he will. If he can't run, he can be a fear biter. I have seen no sign of any kind of aggression here with me but he was not a happy camper at the vets and had to be muzzled. This cockerpoo boy needs a fenced yard.

We found Marvin through CockerPals Rescue in Hobart, New York.

Meet Huck and Bingo!

Huck and Bingo were turned into the shelter because their owners thought they were "too old". They were skinny and infested with fleas and probably feeling miserable. But now they are treated, fed regularly and are feeling much better.

They are about 14 years old, but are very young at heart. They are an adorable pair. They take care of each other and play together. Bingo will chase down a stuffed toy and bring it back to Huck's bed. Huck likes to sit close and give kisses. Huck has also been seen carrying around a stuffed toy. They have sweet personalities and have been low-maintenance guests at their foster home.

We found Huck and Bingo through Furry Friends Network in Boiling Springs, Pennsylvania.

Meet Cora!

Cora is one special and unique little girl. She came into the rescue as an owner surrender from a mother whose son purchased her from a "breeder". Cora was not very well taken care of, left almost entirely on a porch and only taken outside once a week! Not a good start to life for such a sweet baby.

Cora went into a foster home (where she is now) with two adult pit bulls and a baby pit bull (another foster). For being so under-socialized her first four months of life, she has done extraordinarily well integrating into a real home and taking direction from her doggie friends. She can be a bit headstrong with certain dogs, not aggressive at all, just seems to think she's bigger than she is sometimes. She would do fine living with another dog, but it would have to be the "right" dog. As with any puppy, Cora can still be a bit mouthy when excited.

We found Cora through PittieLove Rescue Inc., in Framingham, Massachusetts.
