Story
Hi my name is Curly and I have a great story to tell. I am a good boy that’s shy and unsure at first. People, car rides, and loud noises scare me. So I need a home that is quiet and 1-2 people at most would be best. I do great with other dogs, they bring me out of my shell. I know I’m not for everyone but I am the right one for the special person, who can work with me and go at my slow pace, who won’t get frustrated that the world is sometimes scary to me and I need time and help figuring it out. I really want to be loved and give you love, it will just take time, trust, and understanding. I am kennel trained, house trained, and like the backyard. Leash walks are not my favorite but I am working on that. Since I am scared, I like to be able to go in and out of my kennel when I am scared or just feel like it. If you want a special dog that’s not like everyone else, but will always hold a special place in your heart…. I am your boy! I have been around dogs and cats with no issues. I've also been around kids, but I prefer to keep to myself when little ones are around. I'm also crate and housetrained, neutered, heartworm negative, and have age-appropriate vaccinations!  If you're interested in adopting, please email your phone number to rockcityrescue@gmail.comAugust 20, 2024, 12:05 am

Story
Hi, my name is Moe! If you are looking for a special dog, you are barking up the right tree! What makes me special is that life started out a little shaky for me and has left me more nervous and scared than the average dog. With time, understanding, patience, and building trust I will open up and be the best companion you could want! As the saying goes, I stick to the 3’s. I need 3 days to decompress, 3 weeks of a consistent routine and time to learn it & 3 months to start feeling at home. At first, I am more comfortable with other dogs and people really scare me, so I would do best with an outgoing friendly dog in the house to show me how to feel comfortable and confident. As time goes on, I get more used to humans but would do best in a single-person home or just a couple (too many people or a lot of children will be too much for me). I like my kennel and my safe dark space. I will come around and hang out more when I trust it is safe. I am kennel trained and working on being better with the leash. If you are looking for an amazing but special dog who needs a little bit of a calmer lifestyle, I am your man!!!! Email your phone number to rockcityrescue@gmail.com for more info!

Story
Age: 10 months old Located in a foster home in NJ Weight: 40 lbs Vet Record: 100% vaccinated, spayed, microchipped, female Meet Becca, one of the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet! Becca is calm, gentle, and very loving and affectionate. She is crate-trained and house-trained, and she’s well-behaved at home. She is also great with cats! Becca loves being petted, giving kisses, and cuddling with her human. She listens well and really wants to be a good girl. She gets along wonderfully with all the dogs, no matter their age, size, or personality, which makes her a great companion in a multi-dog home. Becca is a bit timid; she’ll need a few days to settle in with new people and a new place. Once she feels comfortable, she becomes very attached to her person. She loves going for walks, and she will do best in a quieter suburban area, since sudden loud noises can startle her on busy city streets. Becca loves playing with other dogs and with toys. She is currently in a foster home in New Jersey, where she lives with three dogs and two cats, and she’s friends with everyone! Becca is looking for a loving family, she would do best in a home with a fenced yard and a friendly dog buddy. If you’d like to meet her, please complete our adoption application, and we’ll be in touch!

Meet Alabama – one of the lucky ones! He has learned (and continues to learn) to trust, explore, and engage with the world around him. He is crate and leash trained. Alabama is still a work in progress—he’s not quite ready to snuggle on the couch just yet—but the journey with him will be full of heart, patience, and deep rewards. He’s searching for a hero of his own. Someone who understands that healing takes time and love, and who’s ready to show Alabama just how good life in a real home can be. Could that be you?
