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
Chester is breaking our hearts a little bit. He’s only about 1 year old, and our best guess is Doberman/Shepherd with maybe a little Hound mixed in for good measure. But whatever his DNA says, we can tell you what matters most: This is an incredibly sweet dog. Chester is currently at Animal Control, and when you first meet him, he can be a little shy. He hangs back for a minute, trying to figure out whether he can trust you. Then you kneel down. You call him over. And Chester comes right to you and melts into your lap. All that uncertainty disappears, and suddenly this big young dog is leaning his entire body into you like he's known you forever. That's Chester. He's dog friendly. He's kid friendly. He's young, sweet, gentle, and has so much life ahead of him. We keep visiting him and thinking about how different he would look curled up on someone's couch instead of sitting behind a kennel door. We want to bring him into Rover's Do Over. We just have one problem: We have nowhere to put him. Because we're completely foster based, we can't pull Chester from Animal Control until someone opens their home to him. You don't have to know whether you're ready to adopt. You can simply foster him and give us the opportunity to get him out, learn more about him, and find his forever family. RDO provides the food, supplies, veterinary care and support. You provide Chester with somewhere to land. Or maybe you're looking at that sweet face and already thinking you wouldn't want to give him back. Foster-to-adopt or adoption is absolutely an option too. Chester is only a year old. Animal Control shouldn't be where he grows up. We have the leash. We have the car. We have a rescue ready to say yes to him. We just need an address to bring him to. Foster Chester: www.roversdoover.com/foster Adopt Chester: www.roversdoover.com/adopt Please share. Somewhere out there is a lap with Chester's name written all over it. ##2836371##

Story
There really isn’t a complicated story to tell about Hustle. He is just a really, really nice dog. Hustle is 6 years old, and every time we spend time with him, we walk away saying the same thing: Someone is going to be incredibly lucky to have this dog. He’s sweet. He’s gentle. He’s housebroken. He greets everyone who comes to see him with a wagging tail, like he's genuinely just happy you stopped by. No theatrics. No puppy tornado. No lengthy list of demands. Just a good dog who would really like to go home. At six years old, Hustle is at that wonderful age where he's past the puppy nonsense but still has plenty of life, walks, adventures and years of companionship ahead of him. And right now, he's spending those days at Animal Control. He's safe. He's cared for. But he deserves more than a kennel. Hustle deserves the boring everyday stuff. Sleeping somewhere soft. Following you into the kitchen for absolutely no reason. Greeting you when you get home. Going for walks. Hanging out while you watch TV. Having someone scratch his head and tell him he's a good boy—even though he already knows. We would LOVE to break Hustle out of Animal Control and bring him into Rover's Do Over. We just need somewhere for him to go. Foster him. Foster-to-adopt him. Adopt him. If you foster, RDO provides his food, supplies, veterinary care and support. You simply give this very deserving boy a place to call home while we find his forever one. Sometimes rescue isn't about finding someone willing to take on a complicated dog. Sometimes there's simply a really nice dog sitting in a kennel, waiting for someone to notice him. That's Hustle. And we really hope someone notices him soon.

Story
Long-Term Foster Needed for Ryder! Can we all just take a moment to appreciate THAT TAIL?! Seriously... we're pretty sure Ryder is part Lab, part Shepherd... and part kangaroo. His tail is longer than the rest of him, and we're convinced it has a personality of its own. Just like Ryder, it's always wagging. Ryder is one of those dogs who wakes up every morning convinced it's going to be the best day ever. He's happy. He's goofy. He's full of life. And he has the kind of smile that makes everyone around him smile too. About Ryder: Lab/Shepherd mix (our best guess!) Legendary kangaroo tail Dog friendly Kid friendly Pretty good on a leash Nice manners Loves running and playing outside Cats unknown If there's a yard... Ryder wants to explore it. If there's a toy... He's ready to play. If there's a person nearby... He's hoping they'll stop for a few pets. He's an active, fun-loving boy who enjoys stretching his legs, playing outside, and making the most of every day. After he's had a chance to burn off some energy, he's more than happy to relax and spend time with his people. He's the kind of dog who reminds you to enjoy life a little more. Right now, Ryder is still waiting at animal control. He isn't part of Rover's Do Over just yet because we don't have a foster home waiting for him. The moment someone steps forward, we can bring him into our rescue and give him the fresh start he deserves. That's why we're asking for your help today. If you've ever thought about fostering, Ryder could be the dog whose life you change forever. Rover's Do Over provides the food, supplies, veterinary care, and support. All you have to provide is a safe place to land and a little love while he waits for his forever family. One foster home. That's all it takes to open the kennel door and begin Ryder's next chapter.

Story
Charlie has a small problem. He’s only 8 months old, but apparently nobody told him he was supposed to stay puppy-sized. This handsome Lab mix is already a BIG boy—and he’s still got some growing to do. Thankfully, he’s also been busy working on the important stuff while he waits for his forever family. Charlie is housebroken.He’s crate trained.He’s great with other dogs.And at just 8 months old, he already has a pretty solid résumé for the position of Very Good Boy. Charlie is still a puppy, which means his forever family gets all the fun parts ahead: adventures, training, figuring out exactly how much of the couch one very large Lab mix can occupy, and watching him grow into the dog he’s going to be. He’s past the teeny-tiny puppy stage, but still young enough that his family gets to be there for so many of his firsts. First birthday. First Christmas at home. First favorite hiking trail. First spot on the couch that eventually becomes permanently his. Charlie is ready for the part where temporary becomes permanent and somebody finally says, “You’re coming home with us.” 8-month-old Lab mix Housebroken & crate trained Great with other dogs Already a big boy—and still growing! Charlie is ready for his happily ever after. Apply to adopt: www.roversdoover.com/adopt Please share this handsome boy. Somewhere out there is a family with a Charlie-sized space on their couch. ##2861426##
