Story
This beautiful dog spent the last year in a hospital boarding facility and was saved from euthanasia at the last minute. While at a subsequent boarding facility, he became at risk there too. Thankfully a team of people who believe in him saved him again. Moose is a sweet, four-year-old petite pit bull who is neutered and up to date on vaccinations. He can be shy in new situations but responds to love and reassurance. He is in a safe, temporary foster home for now where he is decompressing and doing well with the male and female residents there. Moose loves playing in hose water and is just learning about the joy of toys. He is a goofy, silly boy who enjoys cuddling once he feels secure and comfortable. He is well-mannered on walks and has had no indoor accidents. His current foster mom is a skilled trainer and he is showing her what a good dog he can be! Moose deserves a stable, loving home for a happily ever after life. We are looking for a dedicated foster or adopter (or foster to adopt) who can understand his needs and will guide him with patience and empathy. In return he will be the best friend one could ask for! Moose would be best as the only pet in the home, preferably with no young children.

Story
Meet Brawny, a bodacious bundle of blundering bliss! He loves to frolic, do zoomies with his dog friends, and then is ready to cuddle up on the couch for a movie night.   This guy loves spending time with his humans and he adores having a dog friend! His ideal canine playmate is confident, easy going, and sturdy who can handle his rough and tumble ways. Brawny likes to bumble about and will sometimes bowl into anyone in his path, so he would appreciate someone who can take a hit, get back up, and go for more!  Brawny is super smart and eager to please, making training a pleasure! Are you looking for a hiking buddy? Look no further! Brawny loves the quiet outdoors and can’t wait to discover secluded trails and open fields with you and his doggy companion!  A sensitive soul, Brawny is looking for leadership and consistency in his forever home. He thrives with routine and boundaries, and once he bonds with someone, he’ll be a bro for life!  Brawny has spent some time around cats and just wanted to avoid them, so we think he would be ok in a home with kitties with proper introductions.  Brawny is about 4 years old and weighs 70 pounds. He is a Pit Bull/German Shepherd mix and 100% good boy! If interested in adopting Brawny, please fill out an application at: https://www.forgottendogsrescue.com/adoption-application  Brawny’s adoption fee is $450. He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and is microchipped.  Per our rescue policy, unless specifically noted in a dog's bio, we will not consider adoption applications from families with children under 5 years old. See more pictures of Brawny on his Facebook album! https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.840522174784138&type=3 ##986375##

Story
Harrison is a big brindle bundle of snuggles and fun who will make a loving addition to a lucky family! He is ALL about his people and when he isn't able to physically be near them, he will collect some of their belongings and snuggle them as a substitute. SO CUTE! This guy is pretty low-key and one of his all time favorite activities is snuggling on the couch. On top of being a snuggle champion, Harrison loves going for walks and leisurely strolls in quiet neighborhoods or open fields. Leisurely walks and snuggles, sign us up! Harrison also has firm ideas about bedtime and puts himself to bed when it gets dark outside. Hysterical! Harrison has spent time with older kids (10+) and he adores them. He’s very gentle and will solicit attention and pets and takes treats like a gentleman. Additionally, Harrison is a super smart pup, food motivated, and very eager to please! Harrison has recently been expanding his social circle and becoming friends with other dogs! We think he could join a home with another mellow, laid back dog with slow introductions, or he would be content as your one and only pup. Harrison is 9 years old and weighs 75 pounds. He is a pit bull type dog who insists he is a lap dog, but if you disagree, he is willing to compromise and only put his legs in your lap! If you're looking for a handsome, snuggly and loving addition to your family, Harrison could be for you! Harrison's adoption fee is $450. He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and is microchipped. Per our rescue policy, unless specifically noted in a dog's bio, we will not consider adoption applications from families with children under 5 years old.  Fill out an adoption application for Harrision at: https://www.forgottendogsrescue.com/adoption-application See more photos of Harrison on his Facebook album! https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.531973772305648&type=3 ##1588253##

Story
Tinsley is incredibly sweet, sensitive and smart and she’s ready to steal your heart! She adores her people and is eager to find her special person; get ready for some serious love and devotion! This clever girl is as smart as they come and lives for treats and praise. Give her a job, and she'll be your most devoted sidekick! Learning new tricks is her jam, and she's a quick study. Scent work and agility courses? Count her in!  Tinsley would love to have a confident dog friend in her home. She adores playing and has a rough and tumble play style with other dogs. A friend who appreciates a good tussle and can be tolerant of her silly antics would be her ideal match. Bonus points for a home with a large yard to romp in with her friend, and tall fences she won’t be able to jump over! This inquisitive girl LOVES to use her nose! Tinsley is all about getting her sniff on and being able to thoroughly investigate new environments. She is also great in the car and is the perfect copilot.  Once she gets her energy out, Tinsley is more than content to curl up on the couch next to you. Snuggles or lounging close to her human while they work is her favorite way to relax! She isn’t very comfortable being left alone and would be happiest in a home where someone is home most of the time.  We estimate Tinsley to be around 4 years old and weighs about 55 pounds. She is a pit bull type dog who radiates happiness! If you are looking for a dog to dazzle you with their sweetness and smarts, then Tinsley could be your girl! Fill fill out an adoption application for Tinsley at: https://www.forgottendogsrescue.com/adoption-application Tinsley’s adoption fee is $450 and she is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. Per our rescue policy, unless specifically noted in a dog's bio, we will not consider adoption applications from families with children under 5 years old.

Story
Imara is looking for her forever home! This gorgeous girl is playful, silly, and absolutely adores her people.  Her sweet and loving nature shines above all else, and she can’t wait to find her happily ever after!  Imara bonds to her people quickly and will make the most devoted companion you could ask for. She is looking for a patient, quiet home with a private fenced yard (no apartments or condos). She’s all about the cushy life: someone needs to give this girl all the beds, pillows, couches, and snuggles her heart desires! Imara absolutely adores other dogs and will do best in a home with another confident pup in it. She adapts well to other dogs' play styles and happily shifts between rough and tumble wrestling, tug of war, or a game of chase! BONUS: We think she’d do okay with kitties!  This treat motivated beauty is smart and eager to please. She is house trained, crate trained, and has been mastering basic cues. And have we mentioned her happy dance? She wiggles and does giant hops when she's really excited. How adorable is she!? Imara is 2-3 years old and weighs 65 pounds. She is a mixed breed Shepherd-type dog who is all heart and charm. If you are looking for a gentle lady to sit next to you while reading a good book, Imara is the gal for you! Are you ready for your new best friend? If interested in adopting Imara, please fill out an adoption application at: https://www.forgottendogsrescue.com/adoption-application. Her adoption fee will be $450, and she is spayed, up to date with vaccinations, and microchipped. Per our rescue policy, unless specifically noted in a dog's bio, we will not consider adoption applications from families with children under 5 years old.  See more photos of Imara and her story on her Facebook album! https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.625438432959181&type=3 ##1698124##
