My story

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

Hey everyone,
My name is Dominick. I am the cutest, happiest, funniest fellow you have ever met. Did I also tell you how smart I am? Well, I am. I love life and I love making you happy. I am anxious to learn. I pick things up quickly. My foster mom is always telling me if I get any smarter, I will be driving the truck around (I love to go for rides).
I came into rescue 10/09/2023 at the age of 9 weeks. No one can figure out why I was never adopted. My brother was adopted before Christmas. I think I haven't been adopted because I am waiting for you.
Like most Blue Heeler puppies, I am wiggling so much it is hard to get any pictures of me that are not blurry. I love to swim on nice cool grass. My foster family always starts laughing. This makes me even happier.
My ideal family would be someone who wants a buddy to hang out with, go everywhere with, play, walk, go to the beach and play in the sand, hiking. Really, anything you want to do.
I came from a backyard breeder who did not want to deal with getting us adopted. Thankfully instead of taking us to the local flea market (death sentence, ground saturated in parvo virus), he contacted my foster mom to rescue us.
I am neutered and ready to come home.

More about this rescue

My name is Carla Carlton. We (my husband and I) are retired militay. He served in the Air Force for 25 years. We have always done some sort of servicing the community. So, when we got ready to retire, we found a place we wanted to live and bought a home. Well, the town we lived in has/had a high kill shelter. This broke our hearts.
Around this same time, I met a lady who fostered for Friends of Homeless Animals, RI. One day I got a call from FOHA there was a poodle in our shelter and he was on the short list. I went and pulled him. Roie (FOHA), helped set me up to foster and list our orphans from here as a courtesy post. I am not sure how long ago it was, 16-18 years, I think. The rest is history. Through them and Mountain Pet Rescue, CO (and a few others in CO, UT, IA, IL, OR, CA, MS...), we have placed over 2400 dogs/ puppies and cats.
