My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

I may be biased, but I just don't think they come any cuter than Melvin Douglas (AKA Melvy Man)
This little guy has PERSONAITY PLUS. He is funny, quirky, loving, sweet and goofy.
Melvin loves other dogs and is very social with new people...he just loves every one.
Melvin is house trained and crate trained. And he is looking for his FOREVER HOME. Is it you?
If you are ready for unconditional love, lots of fun times and laughter, then Melvin is your man.

He is currently in the Middle TN area, but transport is provided for an approved adopter. If you are interested in Melvin, please email cox_ann@bellsouth.net for an application

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

When you see a pet you are interested in, please email us at cox_ann@bellsouth.net

When we receive your email we will respond with more information about the pet and we will attach the adoption application.

Go meet their pets

Because we are a "virtual" shelter, there is no facility for you to visit all available pets. The pets in our program live is private foster homes.
Our foster homes are located in NY, NH, PA, VA and TN so the pet you are interested in adopting may or may not be in your area. The first step in the process is to contact us via email at cox_ann@bellsouth.net and let us know which pet you are asking about. We will then send you an application and further detail about the process

More about this rescue

Rookie's Rescue has merged with A.S.A.P Rescue, a 501 c 3.
Rookie's Rescue was founded in memory of my beloved companion, Rookie.

Rookie's Rescue is a virtual shelter, meaning all of our pets live in loving foster homes, not a facility/shelter environment. The pets listed on this site live in a foster home located in TN, VA, NY or PA.
The pet you are interested in, may or may not be in your area, but transport is available and included in the adoption
**NOTE** At this time all available pets are in foster homes in TN - BUT transport is included in the adoption fee

Rookie's Rescue is committed to helping abandoned, neglected and abused pets finding loving homes and
educating the public about responsible pet ownership with a strong emphasis on spaying and neutering.

WHERE DO OUR PETS COME FROM?
Rookie' Rescue saves pets from over crowded shelters and animal control facilities, who due to lack of space and overwhelming volume are forced to euthanize thousands of healthy, adoptable pets each year. We will also accept pets from owners who can no longer care for their pet. When the animal enters our program, they undergo a complete health check from a local vet to make sure the pet is healthy. The pet is treated for any medical needs, is brought up to date on all vaccinations and is spayed or neutered. The pet is then socialized and assessed by our behaviorist. When the animal has been determined healthy and socialized, it is placed for adoption.
