Story
I was hiding under a car in Bodrum, Turkey scared for my life when some nice people walking by decided to take me into their home and give me a safe space to heal. Being that I was only a couple months old at the time I needed veterinary care and nourishment. Luckily the people that took me in helped me reach my full potential and I am now ready to find my forever home. I will be ready to travel to USA in a couple months once my titration test becomes available. I would love to have my forever family waiting for me once I arrive to my next chapter. Could that be you?

Story
I was roaming a rural area to find some food when some mean man started shooting at me with a rifle. I was able to escape and hide until a nice lady found me in Bursa, Turkey. She took me in and I quickly started feeling much better. I love learning new tricks and getting in as many sniffs as possible. My paperwork has come back clean and I am now ready to travel to my forever family. Could that be you?

Story
I was being cared for by residents in an apartment building in Istanbul, Turkey until the building unexpectedly caught on fire. Some nice bystanders helped me get to a safe space. I am now being cared for by Holly & Oli Rescue and can’t wait to meet my new forever family. I love to play with my dog friends and cuddle with humans. I miss the days I had a family to call my own. Hopefully there is another family waiting for me somewhere, perhaps the USA?

Cindy was rescued from a municipal shelter where the conditions were very poor. She was in declining physical condition and it took her some time to recover and regain her strength. Today she is fully vetted and improving rapidly health wise. She is a friendly and very loving companion. She is also a very intelligent girl who is eager to learn and responds well to training. Cindy is currently in the care of a rescue center in Ankara, Türkiye, where she is receiving the attention and support she needs.

Story
This adoption is for a bonded pair that can’t be separated. Snoopy is a purebred Papillon, Princess is an American Eskimo. They are both adorable. They are both about 8 yrs and 20 pounds each. They have been together since they were a couple months old. Neither are potty trained very well, and we use pee pads. Snoopy doesn’t like being picked up, but he will hop into your lap. He will only eat if you are eating (or he is super hungry) Princess is a little… special. She has ADHD. So she needs food to be available 24/7. She will forget to eat. She is a fear biter, and a serial killer. Any animal that comes into our fenced backyard, she will murder: birds, baby bunnies, squirrels… I would NOT put her in a home with a cat. She is afraid of other dogs, and will bite. She also loves her humans. The reason I need to re-home them is because I have memory issues that have recently gotten worse, and I forget when I let them out and it has become an issue with their safety.

Story
Annie arrived from a Kentucky shelter, underweight, scared and overwhelmed with the world. She hid in her crate, afraid to explore her new home and seek comfort from her new human family. Well, with time, love, and patience Annie has blossomed into a totally different dog. She still loves her crate but loves snuggling with her humans and hanging with her canine companions even more. She happily curls up in a soft bed, or in a vacant space in between her humans on the couch. And belly rubs? Absolutely, especially coupled with happy wiggles! Walks? She adores them and is terrific on a leash! The minute you pull out a leash, she races around the yard with pure joy and exuberance. And once around the block does not count as a walk in her book. She puts the breaks on to insist on a "real" walk should you try and short change her. Annie has thrived in a home with other dogs. She has watched and learned from them and looks to them for confidence and reassurance. She puzzles herself in between her foster siblings to happily chew on a bone or try and removes the innards from a stuffed toy. She races after the other dogs in the yard and then intently follows all the fun wildlife scents in the yard. She also knows to potty outside and sleeps perfectly in her crate. She will vocalize when she is excited to run outside or about to be fed, but she does not bark excessively. She is also food motivated, and has happily gained weight since her arriving in foster care. Annie is seeking a forever home with another canine companion and humans who will continue to help her build her confidence and find joy in the world around her. Her impish personality has really emerged, and we think she will make an awesome addition to a family willing to be patience with her as she settles into a routine. Please note that although she has come a long way from the terrified shelter dog, loud, unfamiliar noises will still startle her and make her nervous. Given her timid nature, we do think she will do better in a more residential environment. She is currently being fostered in Bethlehem, PA, and any potential adopter will need to come and meet her in person. If you are interested in adopting a dog, please fill out our application. Meetings will not be scheduled without an application. Please visit our website www.rogersrescues.com to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs.
