Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet our Circus puppies! Barnum is an adorable 8 month old Husky/American Bully mix that was surrendered to us along with his sister, Bailey, as the previous owner didn't have the funds to be able to care for them. Barnum is a playful, active puppy who loves everyone he meets! He adores other dogs, and will romp and wrestle with them for hours on end. He's interested in the resident cats in his foster home, but is gentle and respectful of them.He's good at occupying himself if necessary, and will quietly chew on bones during downtime. He's also very sweet and cuddly, and when it's time for naps, he loves to snuggle with people and other animals.Barnum is a smart boy and learned sit and lay down in only a couple of days! He knows his name, and his recall gets better each day. He's working on house and crate training, and doing well with both. However, he's still learning, so his family will need to be prepared to continue to work with him on puppy basics.Barnum's a great little pup that would be a wonderful addition to just about any household! He greatly enjoys the company of other dogs, and would do best with another playful pup in his forever home.Barnum is 8 months old, currently 50 lbs, and we guesstimate that he'll be around 60 lbs or so when fully grown. He's neutered, up to date on vaccines, is microchipped, dewormed, and on monthly flea/tick/heartworm prevention. His adoption fee is $450.  Please click here to submit an adoption application!  If you'd like any additional information, please email us at newleashrescue@gmail.com.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 9, 2023, 7:45 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet our Circus puppies! Bailey is an adorable 8 month old Husky/American Bully mix that was surrendered to us along with her brother, Barnum, as the previous owner didn't have the funds to be able to care for them. Bailey is a typical puppy; she's sweet, happy, playful, cuddly, and loves everyone she meets! She's a smart girl, and quickly learned sit as well as off. She can be a little vocal in her kennel or when she's playing; a nod to her Husky heritage! She's working on house and crate training, and is doing well with both. However, she's still learning, so her new family will have to be prepared to continue to work with her on puppy basics.She absolutely adores other dogs, and appears to take a lot of comfort from their company. Because of this, we would prefer her to go to a forever home where she will have a doggy playmate and companion. She is playful towards the resident cat, but is relatively easy to redirect if needed. While she loves to rough house with the other dogs, Bailey is also good at entertaining herself by quietly chewing on a toy. She loves to cuddle when she sleeps, and will curl up on you like a cat, or tuck herself in alongside you and spoon. She's a sweet little pup that will make a great addition to just about any home! Bailey is 8 months old, currently 40 lbs, and we guesstimate that she'll be around 45-50 lbs or so when fully grown. She's spayed, up to date on vaccines, is microchipped, dewormed, and on monthly flea/tick/heartworm prevention Her adoption fee is $450.  Please click here to submit an adoption application!  If you'd like any additional information, please email us at newleashrescue@gmail.com.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 9, 2023, 7:45 am

Story
Max is a 1 year 10 month old shepherd mix. He’s about 35 lbs. He’s super sweet, gentle and kind. I really love this dog but my work schedule will be changing soon and I won’t have much time for him. Would love to find a family with another dog and/or kids that would keep him busy. He loves to play and be outside so a fenced yard would be ideal. He’s great with other dogs and loves kids. He does pretty well on a leash until he sees a squirrel or another dog:) then he wants to chase and play. He knows basic commands. Up to date on all shots and have all the records. He can be a picky eater but he’s a really good dog.

Story
Meet Cherry! 🍒 Cherry is a 6 year old shitzu mix, born 1/17/17. Cherry arrived to The Rescue Inn in January and is now ready to find her forever home! Cherry was clearly a puppy mill dog as evidenced by her often shy demeanor. She will show affection at times to her foster mom and has made progress with earned trust. Given Cherry's background, she will thrive in a quiet home with other canine friends that can show her how to be a dog. If you'd like to learn more about Cherry, contact her adoption consultant, Debby, at djg4517@gmail.com or complete an application here: https://therescueinn.com/adoption-application.html.

Story
Meet Sammy! This special little senior boy is 11-12 years old and is a Jack Russell terrier mix. Sammy has been with TRI since December 17, 2022 and what a joy he has been. Sammy has allergies that we were working through, and he's ready now to find his forever home! Sammy has a silly personality ten times bigger than his 12 pounds. His fur will never grow back on his belly or around his neck, so he hopes you don't mind his messy look (we think it's adorable of course!). His face will melt your heart. Sammy has been great with with all of his foster canine siblings. He will spend endless hours outside if you let him. Sammy loves toys and wants to play with his humans by throwing the toys for him. If you think Sammy is the little boy for you, contact his adoption consultant, Debby, at djg4517@gmail.com or complete an adoption application: https://therescueinn.com/adoption-application.html. Sammy can't wait to meet his family!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Marlow came to us from an Amish breeder who no longer wanted her because she was 'over the hill' and not of any use to their breeding program anymore. This sweet girl spent her whole life in a barn making money for her people, and when she got older, faced euthanasia because she was deemed to not be profitable. How absolutely awful. Thankfully, we were made aware of the situation and were able to step in and save Marlow from her uncertain fate!Marlow is your typical gentle giant! Due to her past, she is a little nervous of new people and situations at first, but once she's comfortable, she's a loving, sweet, silly girl! She's wonderful with other dogs and is learning to be playful and goofy with her current foster siblings. She basically ignores cats. She is still figuring out what being a house dog and pet is like, and every day she makes little improvements! She's mastered steps, walks well on leash, does great in the car, and has even started to pick up toys, and will chew on them and throw them up in the air! We know she'll continue to blossom in the right forever home! Due to her breed, Marlow will need a family that's dedicated to keeping up with her high maintenance grooming needs. Regular brushing and bathing are a must to keep her clean and free of painful knots or mats. Shedding and some drool also come along with the Newfie lifestyle! Marlow is crate trained and house trained. She would do best in a lower key home as children under the age of 8 might be a little too much for her. She does great with other dogs of all sizes and energy levels. She's a mellow girl and doesn't interact with them much, but enjoys being in their company!Marlow is approx 7 years old, is 101 lbs, and will be spayed and have a dental done prior to finalizing her adoption. She is heartworm negative, up to date on vaccines, dewormed, and is microchipped. Her adoption fee is $450.  Please click here to submit an adoption application!  If you'd like any additional information, please email us at newleashrescue@gmail.com.
