Story
Long-Term Foster Needed for Lolita Some dogs need a second chance. Others need someone willing to help them believe in one. Meet Lolita. This sweet girl is estimated to be 4–6 years old and is a beautiful Bulldog mix who is looking for a long-term foster—or foster-to-adopt family—to help her write the next chapter of her story. From the moment you meet Lolita, it's impossible not to root for her. She's incredibly sweet, but it's easy to see that life has left her a little unsure of the world. She's timid. She's gentle. She's still learning that she's safe. And she's looking for someone willing to show her that the best days of her life are still ahead. About Lolita: Female Bulldog mix Approximately 4–6 years old Previously lived with multiple other dogs Sweet and gentle Timid, but eager to learn Looking for a long-term foster or foster-to-adopt home Lolita doesn't need someone who's expecting a perfect dog on day one. She needs someone who understands that healing takes time. Someone who celebrates the little victories. The first tail wag. The first time she asks for a cuddle. The first time she realizes she doesn't have to be afraid anymore. Those moments are what rescue is all about. We're looking for a family that can help us nurse Lolita back to health (mentally and physically), continue building her confidence, and show her what it means to be loved unconditionally. The most rewarding part? You'll get to watch her transformation happen right before your eyes. There's nothing quite like watching a shy dog realize they're finally home. Rover's Do Over provides veterinary care, food, supplies, and support every step of the way. You provide the patience, love, and safe place where Lolita can finally begin to heal. Together, we can give her the fresh start she deserves. **Apply to foster:** www.roversdoover.com/foster **Interested in fostering with the intention to adopt? We'd love to hear from you, too!** ##2786921##

Story
BOXER LOVERS… Odie needs your help. Meet Odie, a 4-year-old Boxer with the goofy personality and zest for life the breed is known for! Odie is a friendly, happy guy who loves people and is always ready for his next adventure. Like many Boxers, he’s full of energy and enthusiasm, so he’ll do best with a family that’s ready to give him the exercise, structure, and continued training he deserves. He could definitely use a little polishing on his manners, but underneath it all is a sweet boy who’s eager to love and be loved. We’re told Odie is dog friendly, making him a great candidate for a home with another playful canine companion. Right now, we’re searching for either a foster or an adopter so we can help get Odie into a safe, stable environment and into the Rover’s Do Over program. Please remember: Odie is not currently in our care. We are unable to bring him into our rescue until we have a committed foster or adopter lined up. Simply sharing his post can make all the difference in helping us find that person. If you think Odie could be the missing piece of your family—or you’d be willing to foster him—please submit an application through our website or send us a message. Let’s work together to give this handsome Boxer the fresh start he deserves. Fosterwww.roversdoover.com/foster  Adopt www.roversdoover.com/adopt ##2785390##

Story
Poor Edison has been waiting at animal control for far too long. At around 6 years old and petite in size, this sweet boy has watched other dogs come and go while he’s still left behind. Edison is everything you’d want in a companion: Gentle, well-mannered, and absolutely loves people. He's a true gentleman Open to meeting furry siblings Handsome, petite, and ready to finally trade kennel walls for cozy halls. But here’s the truth: he can’t keep waiting. Animal control is no place for a dog to spend his days, and Edison has already spent too many. He's their longest resident. Every single day in a kennel chips away at his spirit. What he needs now is a foster—or, even better, a forever family—who can show him what love and home really feel like. Foster Edison: Be his hero. Give him the soft place to land he so desperately needs. Supplies + vetting are covered. www.roversdoover.com/foster Adopt Edison: End his wait. Make this gentleman part of your family forever. www.roversdoover.com/adopt Edison has waited long enough. Please—open your heart, open your home, and help us get him out of the kennel before more time slips away. ##2379832##
