Rescue Me

Meet Goose!

noreply@blogger.com (Johann The Dog) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 13:07:00 +0000

Goose got his name from when he was a baby. His back legs were very weak. His rescuers have worked with him for months and feel he is ready for a new home.

Goose is a very active dog who needs to go to a home that is committed to training and working with him and who has a lot of time to spend with him.

He is loving and great but a puppy that just needs some training.

We found Goose currently being cared for by Sanctuary Animal Refuge in Clewiston, Florida.

Meet Thomas!

noreply@blogger.com (Johann The Dog) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 13:04:00 +0000

Thomas is a sweet 8 year old chow / husky mix who is about 70 pounds and has a blue tongue and an adorable underbite! He was living in an outdoor rural shelter, but is now in a foster home in the DC area waiting to find a loving person or family to adopt him.

Thomas was outside for so long that he'd forgotten the simple things but is enjoying them again - riding in a car, sleeping on a dog bed, lounging in front of a warm sunny window.

Thomas is a sweet pup who gives lots of kisses and likes being around his foster mom. He loves being outside - going for long walks or spending time at the dog park but is pretty mellow indoors - curls up on the floor or chews on a toy. He can be intimidated when meeting new people indoors but is getting used to it. Thomas gets along well with other dogs but is probably a little too interested in cats. Thomas has lots of love to give - maybe Thomas is the right match for you and your family!

We found Thomas currently being cared for by Homeward Trails Animal Rescue, Inc. in Virginia.

Meet Emily!

noreply@blogger.com (Johann The Dog) — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 12:55:00 +0000

Emily is a little 5 pound orange Pomeranian. She’s a senior, probably 11-12 years old. Although rescued from the shelter as a stray, she was clearly was someone's pet; she is housetrained and she's used to being spoiled. She is loving and affectionate and melts into your arms when she's picked up.

Emily is not terribly demanding but does like being hand fed. She’s very much a lady; delicate and dainty but not too shy or weak. She’s an older dog, but is still vital, engaged and engaging. Emily is mostly deaf and has cataracts but neither condition affects her negatively.

We found Emily currently being cared for by the Bill Foundation in Beverly Hills, California.

Meet Link!

noreply@blogger.com (Johann The Dog) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 16:44:00 +0000

Link is a busy body, always moving, always doing something. Not fearful at all, Link is a confident, friendly, well-adjusted dog. He is extremely food-motivated and will seek out any tasty treats you may have (counters and tables are not off-limits for him either yet, so he will need some training in that area)/

We found Link currently being cared for by the Animal Welfare League of Arlington in Arlington, Virginia.

Meet Grace!

noreply@blogger.com (Johann The Dog) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 17:53:00 +0000

Gracie is the kindest soul. She is just a sweet old lady that came in feeling a little under the weather. She was underweight and didn't eat well. But she's better now, even though eyes are a bit cloudy because of her age. She still has quite a bit of zip.

She likes to go on walks and loves to cuddle on her bed. She dreams a lot because you will see her chasing squirrels in her sleep. And since she needs to gain some weight, she sure won't need any best diet supplements, that fur sure, BOL!! She is great with cats and dogs. Please come take her home for her retirement!

Grace is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.

We found Grace currently being cared for by the Colorado Animal Rescue in Glenwood Springs, Colorado.

Meet Misha!

noreply@blogger.com (Johann The Dog) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 16:36:00 +0000

Misha is approximately two years old and weighs twenty pounds. She walks nicely on a leash and knows basic commands. This gorgeous girl would do well in a family with older children that would commit to strolls around the block and a lot of TLC.

We found Misha currently being cared for by Glendale Humane in Glendale, California.

Meet Champagne!

noreply@blogger.com (Johann The Dog) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 16:33:00 +0000

Little Champagne was rescued from an over-crowded shelter where she was a favorite among the shelter staff. They described her as "an effervescent, sparkling, & bubbly girl, that captures anyone's heart", and this little girl is very special. She is 4 years old and weighs 12lbs.

She was rescued on the day she was to be euthanized because she developed pneumonia and the shelter could not properly treat her. As of 9/21, she was taken to the vet, treated with medication and hospitalized. She is looking for donations to help with her mounting vet bill. Please help us with this wonderful dog. She is now safe in a foster home and recovering nicely.

Champagne seems to be getting along with confident cats that are not skiddish around dogs. So if you have a home with cats, it really depends on your cat's personality whether it's going to run, or take charge.

We found Champagne currently being cared for by Dogs Without Borders in Los Angeles, California.

Meet Nala!

noreply@blogger.com (Johann The Dog) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 16:23:00 +0000

Nala is a cattle dog mix. She is a young adult, probably not much more than a year old. She is a bit unsure of people when she first meets them, but warms up pretty quickly. Nala is a fairly large girl, about 50 pounds.

You'll be having so much for taking videos of Nala, you'll probably want to get monitor mounts so you can appreciate her on the big screen! Nala is curious and energetic. She would probably do best in a family where she would be included in some of the family outings. If you like long walks or hiking in the woods, maybe Nala could be your partner.

We found Nala currently being cared for by the Flora Shropshire Animal Shelter in Cynthiana, Kentucky.

Meet Buddy!

noreply@blogger.com (Johann The Dog) — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 16:19:00 +0000

Buddy is one of those heartbreaking stories that we are hearing more often every day. Sadly, his owner has suffered a foreclosure and he cannot take his dogs with him to the place he must now move to. Toby and Buddy have been with him nearly all their lives and must now try to find new homes.

Buddy is a 45 lb. beauty that is alert and attentive and watches you closely with every move you make. He is very people friendly , dog friendly and doesn't give a hoot about cats. He walks like a dream and let us trim huge mats of hair off of him the first time we met him. He's free of fleas, so he won't need any dip machine. A beautiful dog that 10 years old, but acts half of that. Active and sweet he deserves better than what he has now.

We found Buddy currently being cared for the by Franklin County Humane Society in Brookville, Indiana.

Meet Prince!

noreply@blogger.com (Johann The Dog) — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 15:12:00 +0000

Prince is a one year old Border Collie mix. He's so young there's no way he's gonna need wrinkle cream! He has been vet checked, neutered, groomed, and is up to date on all shots.

We met Prince through Pals For Paws in Kokomo, Indiana. Pals for Paws, Inc., is a group of caring individuals working in our community to help homeless animals. They are a non-profit organization (501c3).

She loves to chase squirrels. She is a little more aloof and not "cuddly" like her littermates. Peaches shows caution, not to be perceived as timidness.

Peach has been on heartworm preventative since a puppy. She is housebroken, leash trained, and loves her treats. Her estimated date of birth is 7-15-04. Her weight as of 8-1-08 is 54 lbs.

Meet Gary!

noreply@blogger.com (Johann The Dog) — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 11:05:00 +0000

This beautiful guy is named Gary. He is a 2-3 year old Norwegian Elkhound that was found as a stray. Gary weighs about 45 pounds. This is one sweet boy. When he first came to the shelter, he was a bit afraid, and didn't know how to walk on a leash. Now, however, he is doing great.

You can tell that he may have been struck in the past, as he will sometimes flinch when you reach for him. But, his rescuers say that will get better and better with kind treatment. Sometimes, when you walk up to him, he will give you his paw, without even being asked. Gary is good with other dogs and with cats, too.

We found Gary currently being cared for by the Caroline County Humane Society, Inc., in Ridgely, Maryland.

Meet Dandy!

noreply@blogger.com (Johann The Dog) — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 13:33:00 +0000

We're turning this blog post over to Dandy!!! Dandy, speak!!!

"Hi, my name is Dandy and I'm five years old. I am super sweet and have pretty good manners. I will paw for attention, and will pull on lead, but those are pretty minor things compared to what some of the other doggies try to get away with. I am very friendly with men, as my former home was just me, Amber, and Dad. Women are okay, too.

I am starting to show my playful side, but am on restricted activity until after I get the okay from the Dog-ter to interact with the others. I have shown a strong affinity for treats, and I take them with a not-so-gentle mouth. My foster Mom says we'll be working on that, too, as she has grown attached to her fingers and she needs them more than I do.

I've not yet been tested on cats. I ride well, but I do want to be a lap dog even in the car, so seat belting, tethering, or crating is best for safety reasons.

I am always up for some lovings. When I get more freedom, my foster mom will better assess me. "

We met Dandy through Save Our Setters Inc., in Memphis, Tennessee.

Meet Napoli!

Meet CindiLou!

noreply@blogger.com (Johann The Dog) — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 13:45:00 +0000

CindiLou was born in early December 2008. She came into rescue malnourished, scared, shy and extremely small for a corso. Her improper nutrition from an early age is probably the cause of her stunted growth. This little girl is under 40# when she should be double that size at her age.

She makes up for her small size with a big personality. CindiLou is a lovable little girl who bonds like crazy glue once she knows you. She's great with dogs and wonderful with people who give her the patience she needs to warm up. Everyone who meets CindiLou falls in love instantly and you don't even need POS systems to adopt her!

We met CindiLou through Cane Corso Rescue in Monroe, New Jersey.

Meet Emmy!

noreply@blogger.com (Johann The Dog) — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 11:55:00 +0000

"Emmy" is a stunning, and very unusual, 7 pound, 10 month old, female mixed breed girl. Best guess is she is a long haired chihuahua/bichon mix, or a long haired chihuahua/shih tzu mix.

Emmy is excellent with other dogs in her foster home, rides well in the car, loves to be held and snuggled with, and adores sleeping the bed at night with her humans. Emmy is a little timid, but is thriving in her current foster home with love and attention.

We found Emmy currently being cared for by Westie/Scottie Rescue of Martinsville, in Martinsville, Indiana.

Meet L.C.!

noreply@blogger.com (Johann The Dog) — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 15:09:00 +0000

This adorable little guy was found running the streets and a TARA volunteer took him in. L.C. was in bad condition when he came to rescue, but they nursed him back to health. Look at him now! He's a real little prince!

Who can only imagine what kind of life he led before he was taken into TARA but its all over now. Of course he's free of malignant Mesothelioma, since he's a dog :)

L.C. has put his ordeal behind and is ready to adopt a new family that will love him forever. This sweetheart is looking for a home that has a doggy door or where he wouldn't be left alone for more than 3 hours.

He is only about 15 pounds, but what makes him even more special besides his pretty black coat and adorable face is the fact that he has no ear canals... which of course means that he is deaf. But have no fear, this little guy can communicate with you just fine with his beautiful brown eyes and wiggly body and tail!!

We found L.C. currently being cared for by The Animal Rescue Alliance (T.A.R.A.)
Independence, Missiouri.

Meet Fuyu!

noreply@blogger.com (Johann The Dog) — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 11:46:00 +0000

"Fuyu," meaning Winter in Japanese, is probably one of the cutest foster pups her foster mum has ever had here.

Born on 8/17 to a purebred Bull Terrier mom and an unknown dad, she is 8 weeks and ready for a new home. She is happy and outgoing. She has been well socialized but still needs to work on typical puppy things.

We found Fuyu currently being cared for by a foster family with Illinois Doberman Rescue Plus in Barrington, Illinois.

Meet Mickey!

noreply@blogger.com (Johann The Dog) — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 11:13:00 +0000

This little Mickey is only 10 pounds. He is 5 years old and he is the sweetest thing this side of sugar. All he wants is a lap to rest on, a bed where he can sleep next to his human, and a table to lie under.

He'd like a fenced yard to play in with another small dog and a stay at home mom to make it all come together. In return you will have his forever devotion and the sloppiest kisses ever. Mickey does not care for men and children.

Mickey is located in Wichita, Kansas. He is heartworm negative, on preventative, neutered, micro-chipped, and up to date on all vaccinations. Keep in mind that the rescue prefers to place dogs within driving distance of where they are being fostered. If someone from outside the local area is approved for adoption, they must be willing to fly in to get the dog and that can only happen if the dog is stable enough to travel in the cabin with the passenger.

We met Mickey through American Brussels Griffon Rescue Alliance in Chicago, Illinois.

Meet Jake!

noreply@blogger.com (Johann The Dog) — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 10:26:00 +0000

What a beautiful and noble boy we have here!! Meet Jake. He originally came to rescue almost 4 yrs ago, as a rescue from Katrina. He was very sick and heavily infested with heartworm.

With lots of TLC and treatments, he is just great. He needs heartworm prevention monthly, but now is in very good health. He meets the rescue's special needs criteria, so he will have a reduced adoption fee.

We found Jake currently being cared for by Because You Care Inc., in McKean, Pennsylvania.
