Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.  Hello, my name is Emerson and I am a 4 year old, 70 pound,pretty perfect hound mix. I do need a weight loss program. Maybe we can do that together? I am a very nice boy that has to give up my happy home. My mom is facing health issues. She does not want to part with me, but has no choice. I was her first time dog and she could not have asked for better. I let her trim my nails, clean my ears ,and brush my teeth! Now how many dogs are that trusting? I am also a low shedder. I am good with other dogs and children. l can handle being alone, without being upset. I am just a sweet guy, that makes friends with everyone I meet. I am a big time cuddler, who wouldn't want to do that? it is so comforting. A fenced yard would be great, because I am a hound after all, but not required as I am good on a leash.  I am crate trained, house trained, and looking for a family to love and love me back. Could that be yours?  Fill out an online application and let's find out!     If interested, you can easily fill out an adoption application by clicking here:  adoption application For those viewing on Petfinder, if you are interested in adopting this animal please click on More About Rose's Rescue, you may fill out adoption application from there.

Story
*** BONDED PAIR; EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMALS ** 'Lil' (aka 'Lillian') and 'Phil' (aka 'Phillip') are 2 of the most wonderful, affectionate, sweet and joyful pooches we have ever known. Lil is a 6.5 yr. old, 65-70 lb. fawn brindle Staffordshire terrier female and Phil is a 6 yr old, 80-85 lb. Staffordshire terrier/curly coated/Chesapeake Bay retriever mix male. They are the best of friends and make a tremendous duo. They are affectionate, kind, gentle, loving cuddle bugs with a silly, playful side. Incredibly eager to please, obedient, loyal and attentive. They are like sunshine on a rainy day; you simply cannot be in a sad mood around them. Words cannot justify how truly wonderful they are; people adore them when they meet their sweet, kind natures. All they want to do is to love and be loved. One of the greatest duos we've ever known, each being super special in their own right but combined they are magic. They compliment each other so well, being each other's anchor and best friend, they deserve to continue to live together and spread their combined joy. Lil is spayed; Phil is is neutered. Both dogs are fully vaccinated, de-wormed, have been on monthly heart-worm preventative, crate-trained and house-trained. This rescue does not do it's own 'shots' ... all medical care is done by a licensed, certified Veterinarian or done under their direct supervision (ex., monthly heartworm treatments &/or deworming). All of our rescued dogs have been on a nutritional regime which includes high quality food and supplements (ex., probiotics; vitamins, etc). This is done to bolster their immune systems and overall health; the result benefits their adoptive family with a pooch who has a lustrous coat, bright shiny eyes, and happy and healthy disposition.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi! My name is Loo because I was found in a box with my litter mates in Waterloo. My foster mommy calls me Loo, Looli, and Lucy - I answer to any of them! I am 24 pounds and 11 months old, so I won’t be getting much bigger. I am a happy, playful little girl. The only time my tail stops wagging is when I am asleep! I had been living in an apartment, but I was so sad at being left alone all day that I barked a lot. I need to get a home with a built in playmate so I am not alone ever again. I have 4 foster siblings right now, so I have lots of fun running with them. I am crate trained, walk well on a leash, housebroken, good in the car, love other dogs, and all people. I have no idea how I would react to a cat. I will be spayed and get my shots on March 10th. When I am all healed up from that, maybe I could come live with you!

Story
*** BREED EXPERIENCED OWNERS ONLY, PLEASE *** 'NASH' is a handsome, 3 yr. old, 75 lb. German/Anatolian Shepherd/Great Pyrenees mix male, that has 'double dew claws' on his back legs. Nash is a big couch potato and a silly boy. Nash knows basic commands: sit, wait, break (release), come and shake, and he will gladly practice each for a treat or a meal. Nash is a sweet, smart, affectionate and obedient boy, but initially leery of strangers. On leash, without distractions, he is a good boy and a pleasure to walk. Nash likes to play fetch and loves his treats, both which are great ways to win him over, make him more comfortable, and begin bonding. Nash warms to you and loves being petted, sitting next to you, and just basically 'hanging out'. Nash's optimal home would be a quiet, low stimulation one with a confident, calm, breed-experienced owner willing to help him build confidence as he matures and knows how to positively direct and mitigate/manage the breed characteristic traits of guard dogs through exercise, training and positive reinforcement techniques. (He is both highly food motivated as well as praise driven). A home with high energy, volume or traffic would not suit Nash, so children would not a good fit with him. Nash loves other dogs, especially playful females. Through a fence he may bark, but then run alongside with others. He has a strong prey drive and is territorial, so he needs a fenced in yard. Nash is neutered, fully vaccinated, de-wormed, microchipped, on monthly heart-worm preventative, crate-trained and house-trained. This rescue does not do its own 'shots' ... all medical care is done by a licensed, certified Veterinarian or done under their direct supervision (ex., monthly heartworm treatments &/or deworming). All of our rescued dogs have been on a nutritional regime which includes high quality food and supplements (ex., probiotics; vitamins, etc). This is done to bolster their immune systems and overall health; the result benefits their adoptive family with a pooch who has a lustrous coat, bright shiny eyes, and happy and healthy disposition.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi! I’m Adelaide, a 40 pound, 5 year old cattle dog. My friends call me Addy. My breed comes from Australia but the police found me wandering in Kent. Can you imagine someone dumping a beautiful girl like me? I was scared and lonely. Happier now at my foster home which has dogs and a big yard in which we can all adventure. However, I really want my own person again. I promise to love you with all my heart. I need a strong leader to be my boss. I had to learn hard knocks on the streets. I need to not be in charge anymore.  My foster mom always tells me how loveable I am. I’m house trained, not food or toy aggressive, and love car rides. It was hard to know who to trust when I was alone, so I am timid at first. My other issue is reacting to other dogs until I know ok. Because of my timidity and reactiveness, I don’t give a good first impression but if you give me a chance, I’ll make a very loyal and loving companion. Foster mom Donna here. Addy is a special girl who needs a special owner to bring out her best. Someone who can assure her when fearful. She has high energy outside but calm inside. She can be independent but also affectionate. She likes everyone including dogs BUT not instantly. Takes a few minutes for her to calm and be playful. I leave her alone in the house with no crate and she’s been good. Her ideal owner will love the outdoors and have a yard where she can run free and explore. We leave her off leash and she’s been good at recall but a fence would be ideal.  If interested, you can easily fill out an adoption application by clicking here:  adoption application For those viewing on Petfinder, if you are interested in adopting this animal please click on More About Rose's Rescue, you may fill out adoption application from there.
