Rescue Me

Meet Chewy!

2010-01-06T07:01:00.005-05:00

Chewy is a wonderful, 3 year old tiny Pom that is reported to be mixed with German Spitz. He measures 10 inches high at the shoulders and weighs about 10 pounds (he needs to lose a little)! His owner had to turn him in because her mother was sick and she needed to move to Maine to care for her.

Chewy is very friendly with people and dogs although he would prefer to be an only child. He is very protective of his owner and will bark and act aggressively when with his human if anyone or another dog approaches. Once he is used to his family or pack, he seems to settle down and "allow" others to approach.

He looks like he'd love to take to the open road, but be sure and look into a pleasanton motorcycle accident attorney, BOL! He loves to go in the car and on walks and walks well on leash. Choo-Choo's perfect home would be with a single person without any dogs who is active and likes to go on frequent walks and trips.

We found Chewy through ResQ Animal Coalition in Redding, California.

Meet LC!

2010-01-05T07:00:00.000-05:00

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 us but we nursed him back to health. Look at him now! He's a real little prince!

His rescuers can only imagine what kind of life he led before he was taken into TARA but its all over now. 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 met LC through The Animal Rescue Alliance (T.A.R.A.) in Independence, Missouri.

Meet Annie!

2010-01-04T06:48:00.006-05:00

Annie is shy with some men. Her foster mom thinks she is a very smart girl who can easily learn just about anything if someone out there is willing to put time and effort into earning her trust.

She about 1 year old and is spayed and vaccinated. We are looking for that some one who has time and patience to help her become that beautiful dog she can be!

We found Annie through Pets For Keeps in Kearny, New Jersey.

Meet Jake!

2010-01-03T06:54:00.000-05:00

Jake is a handsome little fellow who came to rescue from the Easton shelter...he was a bit too rambunctious for them to adopt out. He was misidentified as a cocker spaniel/shih tzu mix.

He is 5 1/2 years old, He has a long, smooth coat, droopy ears, and a long tail that waves around and constantly signals his mood, which is usually happy, and mostly expectant. He is pretty set in his ways and a little headstrong. He's quite playful, and has made lots of friends with whom he romps around and wrestles, and never has a tussle developed into a nasty disagreement. I would be cautious with him, but he's a great dog and if his ego is respected, you would have a wonderful companion.

He weighs in at 17 1/2 lbs. He's in great health, up-to-date with shots, and well house trained as far as we can tell. I imagine he'd investigate and maybe tease cats, but he wouldn't attack them. He lives with a great many dogs, and there has never been any fights.

We found Jake through Small Dog Rescue in Princeton, New Jersey.

Meet Aubrey!

2010-01-02T07:36:00.002-05:00

Aubrey is a black brindle, beautiful scottie girl who is looking for a new lease on life. She was released from a commercial breeding facility where she spent the first three and a half years of her life.

She is cautious and wary in new surroundings but is gradually learning that good things can come from human hands. She is spayed, current on vaccinations and HW negative. Aubrey is crate trained but she will need work on her house training skills.

You'll definitely want to pick up a new camcorder before you adopt this little gem to capture all the wonderful moments!

We found Aubrey through Saint Louis Scottish Terrier Rescue in St. Louis, Missouri.

Meet Skippy!

2010-01-01T07:30:00.000-05:00

This is Skippy. He weighs 13 lbs., and is about 4 years old. The vet thinks he is possibly a Schipperke and Pomeranian mix.

Skippy plays well with the other dogs at his foster home, but does not like cats. He would make a great companion for a mature couple. He's very healthy, but it's always wise to put together a health savings account for your new pup. He's housetrained, neutered, UTD on vaccinations, heartworm tested negative and on preventative, and microchipped.

We found Skippy through ROCK Rescue in Marion, Indiana.

Meet T-Bo!

2009-12-30T07:27:00.001-05:00

Check out this little Pug boy!! T-Bo is just 4 years old and weighs about 13 pounds. He has obviously not had the best life and care in the world. His rescuers pulled T-Bo from a shelter where he had been dumped by his owners. He has some skin infections that are being cleared up with some medicine from our vet and some special medicated baths.

T-Bo is already looking so much better!! His coat is already improving and he should not have any problems with his skin and wrinkles other than what normally affects pugs. A family that is knowledgeable about the Pug breed would probably be the best fit for T-Bo. He has a very sweet and happy personality. T-Bo adores people and is a happy and friendly dog.

He gives kisses to everyone and will follow you around all day just for the joy of being by your side. :) T-Bo is also good with the other dogs at the rescue and cats. He would also be fine in a family with children. Are you looking for that dog that you can rescue and save from a neglectful life? T-Bo fits that criteria perfectly!! And he has a sweet and happy personality for you to enjoy!!

We found T-Bo through the Rescue Farm in Poland, Indiana.

Meet Sparrow!

2009-12-29T07:22:00.002-05:00

Sparrow is an adorable, but quirkly little dog whose nickname is 'Secret Squirrel' because she runs around like she's on a mission whose purpose is known only to her. You may want to look into extra Delta faucets to keep her hydrated!!!

She's friendly once she gets to know you (enjoys being petted and will give kisses), but wary of strangers.

Sparrow gets along with other dogs but is submissive and sometimes gets picked on by others, so she is quite happy being with alone or with one other compatible dog. She comes and kennels up on command and is well behaved in the house.

We found Sparrow through Save the Strays Animal Rescue in Bethune, South Carolina.

Meet Jackson!

2009-12-28T07:15:00.000-05:00

Jackson appears to be a small poodle/portugese water dog mix. Since he will remain small, we think the mix may be toy poodle/portugese water dog. He weighs about 15-20 pounds, is about 9-10 months old as of November 2009, and the vet says he should either stay close to his weight or max out about 25 pounds.

He has portugese water dog features (loose curl/wavy black hair, webbed toes, white bib, 3 white socks, and a long tail with a very small white tip). His name is Jackson, he is an extremely handsome young man, is very lovable and loves to play fetch with the ball. Since he's a young one you won't need to look into any life insurance rate for him :) As you can imagine, at this age, he is full of energy. He is presently going through the shelter training program.

We met Jackson through Georgia Poodle Rescue in Milton, Georgia.

Happy Holidays!

2009-12-24T19:55:00.000-05:00

All of us at RESCUE ME wish you and yours the Happiest of Holidays and a Very Prosperous New Year!!!

--Johann, Gracie, Wolfie, Wiggy and Leslie

Meet Phoenix!

2009-12-23T06:38:00.000-05:00

Phoenix is a peppy girl...with lots of love to give someone.

She is up to date on shots, neutered, microchipped and waiting for a home. She is only about 30 pounds and is 4 years old. And with you're help maybe she won't have to look for jobs in philly?

We found Phoenix through Pet Tender Angels in Greenville, South Carolina. They are a 501 (c) (3) non-profit that provides rescue and rehabilitation for homeless animals, focusing on feral, stray, abandoned, and special needs dogs. Pet Tender Angels gives a second chance to animals who would otherwise have no other chance.

Meet Cowboy!

2009-12-22T07:15:00.000-05:00

This sweet, fuzzy 10 year old cowpoke is easy on the leash and housetrained. When he’s not out on the range, Cowboy is a real cuddler. You'll want to pick up a box cutter cause you'll want to shower him with gifts when you bring him home!

Cowboy’s owner had a stroke, so he ended up at the shelter.
Now he’s happy to be cooling his heels at Muttville, where he’s hoping to rustle up a forever home.

Cowboy always lived in a fairly mellow environment , so we would prefer that for him! Though super affectionate he can get grumpy, too long in the saddle, so an adult only household for this boy!

We found Cowboy through Muttville in San Francisco, California.

Can you help?

2009-12-21T07:19:00.002-05:00

As part of Johann's Second Annual Howling Howliday Giveaway we are helping my shelter raise some needed funds to help their rescues find a furever, wonderful home just like I did back in 2004.

We are working hard to reach our goal of $500, but are only 25% of goal. Can you help? Just a few $$$ would go a long way...and there's still time to enter my giveaway and win some pawsome prizes!

If you can, just click on the donate button below and help some pups from my former shelter - the Southside Animal Shelter - this Holiday season!

Meet Demi!

2009-12-20T07:12:00.000-05:00

This is Demi. She is a one year old Belgian Malinois mix, who originally came into rescue with her sister, and was adopted but then returned when my owners were moving. She is very sweet and social and still very puppyish.

She'll need some help settling into a new routine when she finds her furever home. Demi would benefit from a refresher course in potty training, and crate training. After all, she's still a puppy, and does like to explore and get into mischief! She would be at the top of her class. Just look how nicely she's sitting for her picture!

We found Demi through Wayside Waifs Animal Shelter in Kansas City, Missouri.

Meet Gypsy!

2009-12-19T07:10:00.000-05:00

Gyspy is about 5 months old. She's an American Staffordshire Terrier. She is one of the most affectionate dogs you can imagine! She is extremely obedient and VERY smart. She's beautiful too; very healthy and a sweet face.

If you give her a chance she would love nothing better than to crawl up in your lap. She is more than willing to please and wants your approval so much! She needs leash training but knows how to sit and stay for short periods. She does great with other animals and loves everyone she meets.

We found Gypsy through the Kokomo Humane Society in Kokomo, Indiana.

Meet Abby!

2009-12-18T16:31:00.001-05:00

Abby is about a 1 year old female long legged, broken coat JRT. The rescue organization has acquired several dogs from a very unusual circumstance.

The owner lived out of his truck breeding JRTS, he passed away and the police found him in the truck with 7 JRTs. They have all been placed into rescue.

Abby is active, but doesn't need any drug rehab because you'll be linked with the new FDA pet health and safety widget! She's just a bit confused right now, she is accustomed to being at the state parks and people petting her, she lived with a lot of JRTs and is becoming accustomed to new dogs. She is passive, we think housebroken, likes walks, my guess would be no cats.

We found Abby through South by Southwest Jack Russell Terrier Rescue, Inc., in Lawrenceville, Georgia.

Meet Aladdin!

2009-12-17T08:14:00.000-05:00

This dog is no street urchin - Aladdin is a diamond in the rough, a true Prince! Aladdin is a royal looking soft yellow terrier mix who is very friendly, well behaved and does enjoy playing with other dogs and toys. Aladdin is 4-6 months old and 25 pounds (as of 10/11).

Very friendly and fun - loves all other dogs and cats and children -- making him an ideal family companion. Long walks and trips to dog park are in his future (and magic carpet rides if available).

We found Aladdin through Paws 4 You Rescue, Inc., in Miami, Florida.

Meet Kyla!

2009-12-16T07:45:00.000-05:00

Kyla likes to run and play. Kyla is a 11 month old little Jack Russell Terrier Mix with lots of energy.

She is super sweet & loves giving kisses. She would be an ideal playmate for a youth. She would excel at Frisbee, Flyball or Agility.

We found Kyla through Oconee County Animal Shelter in Seneca, South Carolina.

Meet Dot!

2009-12-15T07:02:00.000-05:00

Dot just arrived in Cincinnati from Naples, Florida. She is quite the sweetheart and just wants to be friends with everyone. She is almost a pup – being only 19 months old. Dot is quite stunning – white chest, white feet and a white spot on her nose. She never raced or trained – maybe because all she wants to do is play. She discovered the stuffed toys immediately upon arrival.

Her hobbies are playing with stuffed toys and running in the yard. She will do best with a fenced in yard and another dog to play with. This lovely girl gets along well with cats and other dogs and is hoping to find her loving forever family and soft couch very soon!

We found Dot through Joey's Greyhound Friends in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Meet Barron!

2009-12-14T07:58:00.000-05:00

Barron came from a local shelter and is looking for his forever home. He is a big boy but gentle with his human companion.

He will patiently stand beside you and be happy just to have your hand on his head for security. However he is not good with other male dogs or smaller dogs, but he loves the ladies. He just needs a home that loves big boys.

We found Barron through N.A.B.S. (Noah's Ark Bayou Santuary Animal Rescue) in Alvin, Texas.

Meet Peyton!

2009-12-12T07:54:00.002-05:00

Peyton came to rescue through a friend who found him stray. He is still pretty thin and a little timid when meeting new people. Once he realizes that he is not going to be hurt he warms up pretty quick. He may be mixed with something, but they're not sure what.

He is about 8 lbs and probably won't get much bigger(except for filling out). He has the most beautiful eyes that are light brown almost yellow. He has a very sweet disposition as soon as he is comfortable. He rides well, does good on a leash, and loves to cuddle. He is mostly housebroke. He will probably do best in a house with no more than 1 or 2 other dogs. He does get along well with dogs and cats.

We found Peyton through 911 Pet Rescue, Inc., in Centerpoint, Indiana.

Meet Honey!

2009-12-11T07:52:00.000-05:00

Honey is possibly a Schnauzer/Cairn mix as she has long legs. She is adorable and extremely smart. She needs a little help in the housebreaking area but she should pick it up quickly.

She does not like cats and she is not good with the other dogs. And needs to be with older children please.

We met Honey through Westie/Cairn Terrier Rescue of SW Ohio in Williamsburg, Ohio.
