Meet Cassius!

This is Cassius and he's a great boy! He's a Catahoula Leopard Hound and Pointer mix, and may even have some Rat Terrier or Fox Terrier in his bloodline as well. He weighs approximately 35 pounds and is a 1 1/2 year-old neutered male.

He is very fun, obedient and sweet, great with people, and good with most dogs. He loves to play, go for walks or runs, but he's also happy to settle down for a lazy evening.

We found Cassius currently being cared for by Ace of Hearts in Beverly Hill, California. They are a 501c-3 dog rescue foundation dedicated to rescuing dogs, the day they are to be euthanized, from various Los Angeles shelters and placing them in loving homes.

Meet Simon!

Simon was turned in to Sumter County Animal Control by his owner because she was afraid he was going to knock down her elderly mother.

He is a typical, affectionate Golden Retriever who loves to snuggle against you. Simon is heartworm positive, so he will need to be treated before going to his new home. Once that is done, however, he will be looking for someone special to love. He seems to be housebroken, and he rides well in a car. Simon is 4 years old according to his former owners.

We found Simon currently being cared for by HoundHaven in central Florida. Houndhaven, Inc. rescues dogs and puppies from euthanasia at kill shelters, and cares for them until they can be placed in loving homes or with another rescue group. They believe that these lives are precious, and we are strictly a no kill organization. Our mission is life.

Meet Bozo!

When Bozo first arrived in foster care he was very afraid of strangers and did not want to come out of his dog house. But after a few days, he decided that is was okay and now he can't wait to go to the exercise pen and play and run and get his petting and attention.

Bozo will be a year old in November and he is now one of the friendliest and most loving dogs you will ever meet. This is the type of dog that is one of the best for a family - he is a boxer mix and not too large, weighing about 55 pounds. And he is a very happy dog now.

He is learning to play and will chase a ball or toy and will sometimes even bring it back to you! Bozo is neutered and has had his shots, so he is ready for a good home with kids and lots of activity. He is also housebroken, and will not mess in his kennel. Great dog for a family, and he is one of the favorites in foster care.

Bozo is currently being cared for through a foster family associated with Angels for Animals in Southwest Utah. They are a small group of volunteers who rescue, foster and find homes for adoptable animals.

Meet Tennyson!

How can anyone resist that face? Tennyson the Boston Terrier is a pack of dynamo, strutting his self-importance. All macho. But don't let him fool you. This is all a facade for a big lover! He is such an affectionate little fellow. He wants a human companion to love. He is not very good at sharing that person with other dogs and certainly not with cats.

Tennyson is such a charmer! You will fall in love with him when you meet him. We met him through Dog & Kitty City, operated by the Humane Society of Dallas County. Their purpose is to provide a safe and healthy environment for the indigent, abused and neglected animals of Dallas. Their shelter provides a service in educating the Dallas community on responsible pet ownership. They have operated for over 30 years and is the only no kill animal shelter in the city.

As a 501.c3 non profit organization they do not receive any tax support, and rely solely on private donations. Their service to the animals depends completely on the generosity of the community and on committed, dedicated volunteers.

Meet Mylie!

Mylie is a Labrador/Terrier Mix, born on 6/14/2005. She's a sweet 34 lbs. girl waiting for her forever home. She is good with children, maybe with other dogs, but isn't so good with cats.

Mylie is such an interesting character with her wild terrier hair style and white marking on her muzzle and chest. Mylie is very amusing. She loves being with people and is looking to become a loyal companion who will thrive in a home. The amazing Mylie knows how to sit, shake, and lie down already! She can't wait to meet her new forever family!

We met Mylie through the Arizona Animal Welfare League in Phoenix, Arizona. Founded in 1971, The Arizona Animal Welfare League and SPCA is the state's oldest and largest no-kill shelter. Their shelter facilities provide a temporary home for nearly 2,000 dogs and cats every year, offering medical and behavioral treatment for those in need.

Meet Milo, Duke IV, and Silky!

Milo, Duke IV and Silky are all Bichons, ages 5, 11 and 7 years old.

Milo, the fantastic little guy on the left! Aren't they the best looking trio? They are a bit sad right now because their owner passed away, but they're also very optimistic that they will find wonderful new homes.

Duke is Milo's father, and Silky is Milo's mother. They've been together a long time and would like to stay that way. However, they do understand that adopting 3 dogs is a lot to ask of one person or family. They are willing to part as long as they all go to excellent and loving homes!

All three adore children, dogs, and even cats. They are all house-broken, house-trained, healthy, and low-maintenance. They just want to be loved and appreciated.

Their former human Daddy was so kind to them, and he raised them up right! They are beyond precious.

We found these three currently being cared for by Max Fund, in Denver. Colorado. The MaxFund is a non-profit organization that was established in May of 1988 to provide medical care for injured pets with no known owners, and to seek out new homes for these animals once they have recovered. The MaxFund is a no-kill dog and cat shelter. MaxFund assists hundreds of people and animals each year by trying to make the correct match between owner and pet. MaxFund adopts our animals to Colorado residents only.

Meet Molly!

Molly is a great little girl waiting for her forever home. She is a 1.5 year old Chihuahua mix and weighs about 15 lbs. She is good with children and other dogs, but would do well without cats.

We found Molly being taken care of by the Arizona Animal Welfare League in Phoenix, Arizona. Founded in 1971, The Arizona Animal Welfare League and SPCA is the state's oldest and largest no-kill shelter. Their shelter facilities provide a temporary home for nearly 2,000 dogs and cats every year, offering medical and behavioral treatment for those in need.

Meet Vanessa!

Vanessa is a real cutie who is very playful and loves belly rubs. She is a young terrier mix who enjoys wrestling with her roommate and playing fetch. She is a small-size prize!

She needs a home without children under the age of 5 or cats and special fencing because of my talent for climbing chain link.

We met Vanessa through Living Free Animal Sanctuary in Mountain Center, California. In 1980 Emily Jo Beard acquired 153 acres in the San Jacinto Mountains near Idyllwild and named it Living Free Animal Sanctuary — which is the only sanctuary founded by Emily. She devoted the rest of her life to providing refuge for orphaned cats and dogs. "We have an obligation to better the lives of the animals with whom we share the earth," said Emily. Today at Living Free they: save the lives of Cats and Dogs who otherwise would be euthanized; spread the message that our companion cats and dogs are entitled to secure lives enhanced by loving care; and teach youngsters and adults to understand, respect and value animals.

Meet George Weasley!

Six-month-old George Weasley is a sensitive and gentle flower. He will thrive in a calm home and will benefit from plenty of socialization to help him blossom. George Weasley is rated for children of any age. He currently weighs 18 pounds, is UTD on routine shots and neutered.

George is currently being cared for by ARF (Animal Rescue Foundation) in Walnut Creek, California. Baseball manager Tony La Russa and his wife, Elaine, co-founded ARF in 1991 after he rescued a terrified stray cat that ran onto the field during an A's-Yankees game.

From its humble beginnings, ARF has grown quickly, so that they are now able to rescue and find loving homes for more and more abused and abandoned cats and dogs each year. They also have created programs that bring the healing touch of animals to at-risk youth and others who dearly need a good dose of unconditional love.

Meet Timmy!

Timmy loves to sleep in bed with his foster parents! He will burrow his way all the way to the bottom of the bed and sleep there most of the night. He is in foster care with much larger dogs and loves to play with them and they take such gentle care of him. Timmy is a three year old, male, Chihuahua.

Everyone likes Timmy - dogs and people. He is so tiny and loves to be carried around but has plenty of energy to play and go for walks too. Timmy will enrich many lives and his new family will be very lucky to have such a cute, loving canine friend to share their lives with!

Timmy's idea home would be an adult only home. He is house trained, walk well on a leash, is very social with other dogs, and is unknown with cats.

We found Timmy currently being cared for by R.E.S.C.U.E in Phoenix, Arizona. RESCUE is an acronym that stands for Reducing Euthanasia at Shelters through Commitment and Underlying Education. Their primary focus continues to be the adult cats and dogs who are scheduled to be euthanized. They operate with the philosophy that for every animal placed, they are back at Animal Care and Control to rescue another. The passion that began RESCUE has resulted in a volunteer-driven non-profit corporation with over 300 dedicated volunteers who have helped them care for and place over 8,000 wonderful cats and dogs.

Meet Fergus!

Fergus is a four to five month old Sheepdog/Aussie mix male puppy. He is super social and he loves other dogs. He seems quite bright and learned his name in just a couple of hours, also mastered stairs (he had seemingly never been up or down stairs previously!) .

He also listens well and really wants to please. He is snuggly and has an active and fun-loving personality - but he also knows how to stop, relax and "smell the roses" or rather - enjoy a cuddle and a good nap (or sleep through the night!). He's a very active young man and will need lots of exercise. Everyone that meets Fergus falls in love. We'd like him to have a home with a good yard, another dog and people who know and understand dogs and have the time to give him a great life!

We met Fergus through the Milo Foundation in Berkeley, California.

The Milo Foundation was named after an Australian Shepherd. Milo was five weeks old when Lynne Tingle discovered that her puppy was both deaf and blind. Despite concerns from friends and family, Lynne was determined to give Milo a good life.

Today, The Milo Foundation is an established 501(c)(3) nonprofit, no-kill organization providing an alternative for homeless pets throughout Northern California, through education, adoption services, and providing sanctuary for animals until permanent homes can be found. Founded in August of 1994, The Milo Foundation is located on two hundred and eighty-three acres in Mendocino County - offering lots of room for the animals to run and play. Milo houses cats, dogs, puppies and kittens - occasionally farm animals and other domestic creatures find their way to the sanctuary.

Meet Brittany!

Brittany is a Brittany Spaniel. She is a sweet lady who was taken out of the pound and brought to Animal Ark in hopes of finding a real family to love and call her own. She's an older gal, looking for mellow fun. She just spent a week in foster care so they could find out more about her.

Her foster mom says that she is very cuddly and friendly and in a home setting, she's much more comfortable and eager to spend time with people. When she's happy, she would often do little "dances" around the house! Brittany does just fine with other dogs, but would also be OK being the only dog. And she's housetrained! One funny thing about her is that she can’t bark. Sometimes, she gets all excited and moves her mouth like she is barking but nothing comes out! It doesn’t seem like she's been debarked, because she doesn't make that quiet, croaky sound.

So, hey, do you have a spot for a cuddly, good-natured girl who’s easy to have around? Maybe you should come meet her! We found Brittany currently being taken care of by Animal Ark in Twin Cities, Minnesota!

Meet Trisha!

Just look at this graceful aristocratic face! Trisha's ancestors came from ancient Russia and were originally owned exclusively by noblemen. She is a Borzoi mix, 52 lbs., spayed and about 1.5 years old.

As is typical of this breed, Trisha appears somewhat aloof when first meeting her, but once she gets to know you, she is very affectionate. Trisha needs plenty of space to exercise and should be an excellent jogging companion. Preferably her new yard will be fenced in and Trisha would do best with older children.

We found Trisha currently being cared for by Noah's Ark Animal Foundation in Fairfield, Iowa. They are a 501(c)(3) tax exempt, charitable, nonprofit organization. For over 18 years Noah's Ark Animal Foundation has offered loving care to homeless and abandoned cats and dogs.

Meet Butchie!

Butchie is a mature Airedale Terrier who appreciates a calm, quiet environment. The poor guy found himself in the middle of a divorce, and he subsequently became homeless.Butchie is a refined soul. (He is not a real fan of petting and roughhousing.) Also, he'd like you to know that he would really rather be the only pet in an adult-only house.

Butchie would make a very nice walking companion. He walks very well on a leash, never tugging or pulling. In fact, walking beside a kind two-legged friend is how Butchie prefers to interact with people.

He is pretty sensitive about having some parts of his body, such as his muzzle and mouth, handled. Poor Butchie also becomes nervous in new or unfamiliar situations. So a stable, predictable home is what this adorable older gentleman is searching for.

Now that we got those things out of the way, it's time to meet this quiet, considerate friend and discover the incredible gentleman that he is.

We found Butchie being cared for by Animal Friends. Animal Friends, Southwestern Pennsylvania’s premier companion animal resource center, is committed to building, nurturing and respecting the human-animal bond and creating a community where our relationship with companion animals is guided by compassion

Meet McGuyver!

McGuyver is an extremely cute little guy, solid white, about 12 lbs and about 5 mos old. He is very friendly and playful and likes other dogs and cats.

He came out of the shelter where he was surrendered along with 17 other animals! He is still occasionally fearful, particularly of vacuum cleaners and reprimands from older dogs. These things make him want to hide under furniture sometimes, but a loving home should soon cure him of that. He has received his rabies shot, heartworm test, puppy shot, worming, and spay/ neuter.

We found McGuyver currently being cared for by Jackson County Humane Society in Sylvia, NC. They are an all-volunteer, 501(c)3 non-profit corporation composed of a small group of volunteers who rescue animals from the shelter, the roads, and the community and keep them in their own homes. ARF has a no-kill policy, which means that volunteers foster the animals until someone adopts them, no matter how long it takes. Some animals have been fostered for more than thirteen years.

Meet Eddie!

Eddie is a pleasure to walk on a leash and knows how to sit, lie down and almost roll over on cue. He may not go all the way over because his ears are still hurting him a little.

Eddie was living in a home and was loved by his family, but when they handled his painful ears, he reacted defensively and they returned him to the shelter. Eddie has chronic ear and eye problems that are so typical of Cockers. All his new adopter will have to provide is a home and plenty of love. Eddie was born in February 2003 and is 29 lbs.

We found him currently being care for by the League for Animal Welfare in Cincinnati, Ohio. They are a voluntary, nonprofit, humane organization chartered in 1949. The League for Animal Welfare, which has operated as a no-kill shelter since 1964, is dedicated to bettering the lives of companion animals in the Greater Cincinnati area by providing shelter, adoption, public education, and spay/neuter programs.

Meet Prescott!

Prescott is a handsome Husky mix. He will be a very large boy when grown. He has a very sweet temperment. He would do well in a family-type setting because he loves kids, cats, other dogs, and life in general!

He is doing well with crate training but he does have one problem - he thinks he is a lap dog. That's ok for now but if he gets to be 100 lbs, we may have a problem! He needs plenty of exercise, is UTD on routine shots and is already house trained.

Prescott is currently be cared for by P.A.W.S (Pets Are Worth Saving), a 501 (c)3, non-profit organization based in Effingham County, Ga with volunteers throughout the Coastal Empire. PAWS is dedicated to saving animals and ensuring that they have a loving, healthy, happy place to live. PAWS screens potential owners before allowing any of our wonderful animals to be adopted. Only responsible owners will be considered. This ensures that the right match is being made for both the potential owner and the animal!

Meet Fern!

Fern came to the Home At Last Animal Shelter in Salvisa, Kentucky, with her mother and eight siblings at only ten days old in the spring of 2000.

They were found in a barrel in a very rural KY community where strays are “controlled” by poisoning or shooting. They have all been adopted, now only Fern and her brother Woodrow remain.

These beautiful shepherd mixes are sweet, though a bit shy of newcomers since they haven’t spent much time off of the sanctuary grounds. They are full of energy, but calm down easily for one-on-one attention. Fern has always been a bit stockier than her siblings and is the most playful.

Home At Last Animal Sanctuary, accredited by the American Sanctuary Association, provides lifetime care for many animals including dogs, cats, pigs, cows, goats, rabbits and a horse, and includes a separate wildlife refuge.

They are a for-life sanctuary, emphasizing the concept of compassion and offering exceptional quality of life for many formerly abandoned or abused animals. Programs include rescue, adoption, educational outreach, low-income spay/neuter assistance, and feral trap/spay/neuter/release.
