Story
King (Deb-fostered in TN)'s Story Meet King! King is a 10 year old senior boy. He weighs 16 pounds. From King's foster mom: When King came into rescue, he already had that name and he wore it well! He was two years old and thought he was boss of the world. He was surrendered because his owner had dementia and his daughter had to take care of him and her mom and it was too much! After not being able to place him for so long, he just stayed! Now his foster mom is 72 and has health issues and to find places for the guys left after 25 years of rescue to move where her daughter lives. King is now 10 years old and has mellowed with age. He would be great in a home with an older man or woman or couple who just likes to chill and maybe take a walk. He likes to put his paws up on you and get a hug! I would say no to small children, not because I know either way, but because I want the rest of his days to be easy! King is up to date on shots, neutered, microchipped and ready to find his family!!!! King is in TN but will be transported to New England for adoption. The adoption fee is $200 and that includes a health certificate and transport to New England. You can fill out an adoption application at https://angelsamongusanimalrescue.org/adoption-application

Story
Wednesday (Bryana-Fostered in TN)'s Story MEET WEDNESDAY! Wednesday is a beautiful French Bulldog born on April 8, 2025, and she's looking for a very special forever family who will love her for exactly who she is! Wednesday's story didn't start out the way it should have. Rescued from a backyard breeder, Wednesday spent the majority of her young life living in a crate. She never got to experience the simple joys of being a dog. Things like toys, treats, running around a yard, and even receiving affection were completely foreign to her. For the past couple of months, Wednesday has been living in a loving foster home, where she's slowly but surely learning what life is supposed to be like. And let us tell you... this girl has PERSONALITY! Normal everyday dog activities are still brand new to Wednesday, and sometimes they're VERY ALARMING! But underneath that timid exterior is a hilarious, feisty little girl who desperately wants to love and be loved. Here's what we've learned about Wednesday: Once she trusts you, she absolutely LOVES being petted and cuddling on the couch. She's starting to get the ZOOMIES outside and loves having her foster brothers chase her around the yard! She's discovering the wonderful world of treats and toys. She's still figuring them out, but she's making progress! Don't let her shy personality fool you! This little lady has discovered that stealing socks is a fantastic hobby! She's still working on potty training. Because, well... FRENCH BULLDOG! She can tolerate being crated for a few hours, but she'd like it officially documented that extended separation from her humans is completely UNACCEPTABLE! She does well with other dogs, and having a friendly, confident canine sibling could help her continue building confidence. Cats are unknown. WHAT WEDNESDAY NEEDS IN HER FOREVER HOME: French Bulldog experience is a MUST! Wednesday needs someone who understands the breed, its quirks, and its special needs. A patient, calm, understanding home where she can continue learning to trust. Older children who will respect her boundaries and give her space when needed. Slow introductions to new people, animals, and experiences. A family who understands that love, patience, and consistency will help her continue to blossom. A friendly dog sibling would be a wonderful bonus! Wednesday's Medical Information: Spayed Up to date on vaccinations Heartworm negative Microchipped Wednesday isn't looking for just any home. She's looking for HER people. People who won't rush her. People who will celebrate the little victories. People who understand that a dog who has spent most of her life in a crate needs time to learn that the world can actually be a wonderful place. She may steal your socks, she may give you a little Frenchie attitude, and she may occasionally act like the world is ending over something completely ridiculous. Wednesday is currently in a foster home in TN. The local adoption fee is $350. We will not put her on transport because we feel that will set her back in the progress she has made.

Rodan (Erin-fostered in TN)'s Story Meet Rodan! At just 5 months old, Rodan is up to date on his vaccinations, neutered, and mostly kennel trained. He currently weighs 19 pounds! Rodan has been living in a home with kittens, a toddler, and other dogs and has settled into family life remarkably well. After spending the beginning of his life surviving on the streets, hes learning the routines of being a house dog. Hes working on potty training and still has a few survival habits to overcome, including scavenging and some food guarding, but hes making steady progress with consistency and patience. Unlike his brother, Rodan is perfectly content wearing his collar and is happy to trot alongside you on his adventures. Hes the calmer of the two and has a more independent personality. While he enjoys affection and spending time with his people, hes also perfectly happy entertaining himself, exploring the yard, or finding a quiet shady spot to relax. One of his favorite pastimes is cooling off in the kiddie pool before stretching out for a nap. Rodan would thrive with a family that appreciates a puppy whos a little more laid-back and enjoys doing his own thing. He's proof that even dogs with a rough start can blossom into wonderful companions when they're given patience, kindness, and a safe place to call home. Rodan is in TN but will be transported to New England for adoption. The adoption fee is $550 and that incl
