🚨 URGENT — MR. WORLDWIDE IS SET TO BE KILLED 🚨 This handsome brindle boy we’re calling Mr. Worldwide is out of time and needs a HERO RIGHT NOW 💔 Mr. Worldwide came into the shelter as a stray, and despite everything he’s been through, he is STILL gentle, loving, and just wants someone to notice him. He has the sweetest, softest eyes and a calm, polite personality. He walks wonderfully on leash, is easy to handle, and takes everything in with curiosity and hope. He’s been so patient… but shelter life is breaking him down. 💔 He will be killed if no one steps up. ✨ What we know about Mr. Worldwide: • Stunning brindle + white coat • Sweet, respectful, and people-friendly • Walks great on leash • Gentle, soulful, and trying so hard to stay hopeful • Dog-friendly (based on behavior in yard/walks) • Deserves a real home after being failed by humans He is NOT giving up — please don’t let the world give up on him.

Meet Casey: The Sweet, Young, Soulful Boxer Ready for His Forever Adventure! Hello there! My name is Casey,—I’m just here for the love-vibes and the belly rubs. I’m a year-and-a-half-old Boxer with a big heart twice, and I’m looking for my permanent human pack- mate. My journey started down south in a crowded shelter where I was unclaimed and feeling a bit lonely. Thankfully, the amazing team at Boxer Rescue of Vermont saw my potential and brought me up to the Green Mountain State to find the life I’ve always dreamed of. 🐾 A Quick Note About My Photo You might notice a little bandage on my front leg in my picture. Don’t worry—I wasn’t in a scrap! That’s just where my catheter went when the rescue took me to get neutered. I’m a responsible gentleman now, completely healed, and ready to rock and roll! Why You’ll Love Me: • Social Butterfly: I get along famously with other dogs. Whether it's a game of tag or just hanging out, I’m a great companion. • People Person: I absolutely adore humans. If you have hands for petting, I have a head for leaning. • Leash Legend: I already walk really well on a leash, so I’m ready for those morning strolls or afternoon hikes. • Cat Neutral: I pretty much just ignore the feline residents. They do their thing, I do mine! • High Energy, High Heart: I’ve got that classic Boxer bounce! I’m looking for an active family who can keep me moving. My "Perfect Match" I’m a smart cookie, but I’m still a young guy with a lot of energy. I’m looking for a home that is excited to take me to obedience school. I want to be the best boy I can be, and I just need a patient leader to spend the time with me that I deserve. In return, I promise to provide a lifetime of goofy faces, loyal companionship, and enough love to fill your whole house.

Story
Meet Emma – the girl with the sweetest smile and the most soulful eyes you've ever seen (seriously, she smiles and it melts everyone she meets). Every single person who spends time with her falls in love instantly – she's just that special. Emma is a sweet and affectionate 5-year-old, 60-lb spayed female pit bull mix who will melt your heart with her velcro-like love and cuddly nature. She is being fostered in HOUSTON, TEXAS and can be transported out of state once matched with an approved adopter. Emma is fully vaccinated, microchipped, crate trained, and house trained. She is the complete package for someone seeking a loyal and loving companion Emma is a true LOVER who thrives on affection and bonds deeply with her person. Her favorite place to be is right by your side, where she can bask in your attention and return it tenfold with endless tail wags, gentle kisses, and adoring eyes. Whether you’re curled up on the couch watching your favorite show or heading out for a leisurely stroll, Emma is your steadfast partner, always ready to join you. Her low to moderate energy level means she’s just as happy to relax at home as she is to explore the great outdoors. Emma walks beautifully on a leash and responds wonderfully to commands and gentle redirection, making her a joy to take on walks. She’s been assessed by a professional trainer and has proven herself to be an eager learner with excellent manners. She’s also a pro at making her humans smile with her gentle demeanor and loving personality. Emma’s house manners are impeccable. She’s not destructive and knows how to respect your space while still being a devoted companion. While she adores humans of all ages and is fine with kids, Emma thrives as the center of attention and will need to be the only dog in the home. Her ideal family is one who will cherish her as much as she cherishes them. When it comes to other dogs, Emma is still figuring things out. She gets very excited when she sees other pups on walks and is easily redirectable with a little help from her human. She’s met a friend’s dog on leash before – and while she was full of wiggles and interest at first, she quickly lost interest and happily went about her walk. In her foster home, Emma doesn’t have direct dog buddies, but she’s been able to peacefully coexist with other dogs from behind a crate or a baby gate. With time and proper introductions, she may continue to build her confidence and social skills around other dogs. That said, we believe Emma will thrive best as the only dog in her forever home, where she can soak up all the love and attention she deserves. Emma is a total sweetheart with people – affectionate, expressive, and always ready for snuggles. She’s the kind of dog who turns heads not just for her good looks, but for the joy she brings into every room she enters. Emma’s gentle soul and unwavering devotion make her a perfect fit for someone looking for a loyal best friend. She’ll greet you every day with a wagging tail and a heart full of love, ready to bring joy, comfort, and companionship into your life. Apply today to meet Emma and let her show you just how special she is. She’s ready to be your one and only and can’t wait to start her happily ever after with you!

Story
Meet Hershey – a 3.5-year-old, 42-pound spayed female Pit Bull Terrier/Bulldog mix with a heart as sweet as her name! Currently in a loving foster home in HOUSTON, TEXAS, Hershey is ready to transport out of state once her perfect match is approved. Hershey may be pint-sized, but she’s got a big personality and even bigger love to give. She was found wandering the streets of Houston until her amazing foster stepped in and gave her a safe place to land. Since then, she’s blossomed into a loyal, affectionate, and easygoing companion who’s ready for a forever home of her own. This low-rider cuddle bug absolutely adores her people—she’s happiest when she’s curled up next to you on the couch or following you from room to room. She’s the kind of dog who bonds deeply with her humans and thrives in a home where she can be part of the family’s daily life. Hershey is fully housebroken and does well in her crate. She’s great on a leash, walks calmly, and loves getting out to sniff and explore the neighborhood. While she may be short in stature, she carries herself with confidence and will let you know if someone’s at the door—her little bark is all part of her charm! She’s playful, curious, and loves a good case of the zoomies, especially in a yard where she can run off some energy. While she’s generally mellow indoors, she enjoys regular walks, sniff sessions, and time outside. Loud noises like fireworks and thunderstorms can spook her, so a calm, secure environment during those moments is important. Hershey has had a positive experience with children, including a gentle 9-year-old boy, and her affectionate nature makes her a great match for a home with respectful kids. She’s also made great progress with other dogs—she has a bouncy play style and may put her front paws on another dog to initiate play. Because of this, she’d do best either as the only pet (where she can soak up all the love!) or with a calm, tolerant dog who won’t mind her enthusiastic approach. We don’t have any history with cats, so slow, supervised introductions—or a cat-free home—would be best for now. Hershey is looking for a stable, loving home where she can continue to thrive, feel safe, and be someone’s loyal sidekick. She’s full of love, personality, and wiggles, and she’s more than ready to trade in her foster couch for a permanent one. If you're looking for a snuggly, playful, and devoted companion—Hershey is ready to be your best friend

THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TEXAS. HER ADOPTION DONATION IS $475 AND INCLUDES TRANSPORT. PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE BIO AS IT INCLUDES INFORMATION AS TO OUR SCREENING PROCESS. ***Please note, once completing the initial screen you will be connected with the placement for a video chat. Transports run every few weeks and we will have the dog on the next available transport once approved. If you are not able to accept a dog until a specific time period, please apply at that time*** We are a volunteer run rescue and donate our time to these dogs. IF you are not serious about moving forward in our adoption process, please do not apply. If someone other than yourself is part of the decision making process, please make sure you have spoken with them and they are on board. We really do not want to waste anyone's time if you are not serious about adopting this dog. Please note our process starts with an application. If we think you might be a good fit, we will reach out to coordinate a phone interview. This is followed by a video call with the foster home. Virtual home visit, personal and vet reference checks are required to complete the process. Transport is included in our adoption donation. Trix, 8 months, spayed female, Pitbull mix, 35 pounds. She is in a foster home in SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS and can transport once an adopter is matched. Meet Trix – The Shy Girl with the Sweetest, Smartest Soul Trix and her brother were surrendered to a shelter in Houston, and it was clear from the start that she was the more shut down of the two. While her brother has already found his forever family, we knew Trix needed extra time in foster care to build confidence before beginning her own journey home. Trix was significantly undersocialized early in life, and her baseline is fear of humans. That said, she has never shown any reactivity — no growling, barking, lunging, nipping, or biting. When she’s unsure, she simply looks for a safe place to hide (a closet, under a deck, a quiet corner). She is gentle — just scared. She is also very quiet and incredibly observant. Trix watches everything going on around her and picks things up quickly. She is VERY smart. Doggy door? She had that figured out within just a couple of days. She may be shy, but she is always learning. After a few days in a new environment, you can see her begin to soften. With patience and intentional time spent building trust, she grows more comfortable being near her people. Over time, she’ll surprise you — playing with toys when she thinks no one is watching, running and sunbathing with other dogs, and eventually choosing to curl up on the couch or sleep in bed with her humans. Trix does well with other dogs after proper acclimation, and we strongly believe she would thrive with a confident canine companion to follow and learn from. While not an absolute requirement, adopters without another dog should have a thoughtful plan for socialization and confidence building. She: Is housebroken Loves her crate Is learning to walk on a leash Has been around kids (shy at first) Is very quiet Has unknown history with cats Appears to be a low-rider mix who will likely be medium-sized when full grown Trix will need a home where someone is around more often than not — both because she’s still a puppy and because building trust takes time and consistency. She is not a “ready-made” confident dog. She is a diamond in the rough who will require patience, compassion, and commitment. But for the family willing to invest in her, the reward will be extraordinary. Watching Trix discover that the world isn’t so scary — that she is safe and loved — is something truly special. She deserves a family of her own. One that will help her find her courage and never give up on her. ***Listed BREED and AGE - We are taking our best guess & recommendations from our veterinarian on age, breed and size when fully grown. We rarely know a dog's exact age nor are we able to tell the true or full breed mix of dogs as our information is limited most of the time. *** Interested in applying to adopt her?
