Story
Looking for a FOSTER-TO-ADOPT person. On December 7, 2025, The local shelter was planning to abort the litter and euthanize the mama. Rorescue intervened. In the wee hours of Dec 8, NERO and his siblings were born into our rescue. NERO is now 10 weeks old, weighs almost 8 lbs, been wormed and had his first two vaccinations. Using the suggest google computations, we estimate that he can reach 35-40 lbs as an adult. NERO has long fur with shorter legs and his tail curl up. His tongue is black. I had no idea of his breed, but we did a DNA on two of the pups. His Brother, BRUTUS results are: 35% Chihuahua 22% Besenji, 22% Border Collie 21% Miniature Long haired Dachshund. His mommy is an 18 lb Siky Terrier. NERO's PERSONALITY: If you are reading this, I assume you are looking for a mix breed larger puppy. This boy is a cuddle-bug. We know how important that babies get lots of human contact to become a socialized loving pet. He has been showered with cuddles and kisses from the hour he was born and loves to snuggle into your arms. AND, he is currently interested in going potty outside. We think he will be easy to train. We are looking for that perfect person who is willing to FOSTER-TO-ADOPT him until we can complete his vaccinations and get him neutered. Are you that person??? If so, please drop us an email. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At RoRescue, we strive to match the dog's personality to the best possible future home. This, in no way, casts judgement on the potential adopter. Our primary concern is the dog's future safety, health and happiness. ALL RORESCUE DOGS are vet checked, spayed/neutered, dental cleaning (if needed), microchipped and UTD on shots. We do NOT adopt to: * adopters who intend for the dog to live outside. * out-of area or out of state locations. *homes where someone smokes cigarettes, vape or smoke prescribed or non-prescribed substances inside or surrounding areas of their home.

Story
Meet Cara! Cara's mom Kate came to us on a Thursday and had her babies on Friday! Cara is one of 7 pups! As of right now she has a puppy personality. Eat, play, poop, and sleep! She will be ready for her new home (foster to adopt) soon. Please remember this is a puppy. Puppies chew stuff, get into trouble, poop and pee A LOT, and give great snuggles. This is a commitment. How foster to adopt works: You will fill out our foster form. We do a home check (via facetime). We provide all supplies you need (crate, food, pee pads,ect). You will be responsible for getting the pup to and from medical appointments. We can help if needed. Once we do the last vaccine/spay/neuter we will finalize the adoption. Puppies will have their vaccines at 6 weeks, 9 weeks, and 12 weeks. At 12 weeks we will set a vet appointment to have the pup altered and receive their rabies vaccination. To meet , please fill out the application https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/foster/PAWP/Dog
