Story
Carrots is an owner give up to our rescue. Below is the information her owner gave us initially. I have had Carrots for almost two years now. She has been the most amazing friend I could have asked for. She rarely barks and only lets out an occasional whine if she needs to go out or is wanting some attention. She’s a well behaved for a dog that lives her life with me in a small dorm and can only go out to play fetch or go for a walk when I’m not at class or work. She needs better. In general, she has been amazing for the hand she’s been dealt. I actually couldn’t be more grateful for how well she’s treated me as she’s grown to be near a full two years old!! I am having to part with her because she is still a puppy, and I’m a Junior in college struggling to work and commute on weekends when I have to, and give her the attention she deserves. She’s trained well. She sits on command, she can stay if you ask, she’s house trained, and she’s comfortable with her kennel if needed. She uses a harness for walks and does great. She was trained to walk on the left of you and she’s usually pretty good about staying focused. She has started the process of being an ESA certified dog but has not rec'd her second certification. Her previous owner said that she was around a child once and growled so we do not recommend her with small children. She has never been around cats so we cannot say whether she will or will not be okay arounds feline friends. She would make a great family member for an active family. If you would like to add Carrots to your home, please message us and we will send you an application. Carrots is being fostered in MS but included in your adoption fee is transport to a location near you by Rescue Riders Pet Transport, the most animal friendly transport on the road! The adoption fee includes her medical for a health certificate and transport to you. We look forward to hearing from you soon!

Story
Rusty is a beautiful 3½-year-old German Shepherd weighing 73 pounds, with a heart just as big as his paws.This sweet boy was rescued by heroes after being seen running and dodging cars on the freeway. Despite such a frightening and uncertain start, Rusty has shown himself to be incredibly gentle, loving, and trusting.Rusty is wonderful with other dogs and great with people. He has a calm, affectionate nature and is truly starting to blossom now that he knows he is safe and cared for. He enjoys being close to his humans and will happily soak up all the love and attention you’re willing to give.He is 100% potty trained and leash trained. Rusty is very smart and has already learned “sit” and “shake,” making him an easy and rewarding addition to a home ready to give him the stability he deserves.Rusty survived the unimaginable and is now ready for a forever family who will never let him down again. If you’re looking for a loyal, devoted companion with a resilient spirit, Rusty is your boy. Rusty is located in Houston, TX. Transport to most states is available for an additional fee of $300.

Story
This absolutely gorgeous, brilliant, devoted wonderful boy is Kairo! He came into the pound when a person found him roaming through the neighborhood. He called him over and sweet Kairo came trotting over, happy to make a friend. The gentleman’s heart broke for this guy as he was so skinny and you could tell either homeless or poorly cared for. Animal control came to get him and this guy loaded right up, friendly and grateful to everyone from day one. He did great with everyone at the pound and thankfully a fabulous couple agreed to take this sweet guy in and give him lots of love until he finds his forever home! Kairo is about 2-3 years old, and currently weighs 54 lbs. he’s gained weight nicely and may gain a couple more pounds as he’s now getting great nutrition and care! He’s been to the vets and now had all medical work completed! He’s now current on vaccines, deworming, microchipping, heartworm test, preventative, and he’s been neutered! This amazing guy is officially ready for adoption! Upon entering foster care everyone really fell for what a wonderfully good boy he is. He’s extremely intelligent and always wants to do the right thing. He’s been fantastic reliably going potty outside, he’s great on leash, and he loves to go for rides in the car! His favorite things are activities with his favorite people, and he looooves to run and play hard with his foster sister (also available for adoption!) name Makayla! He would do great with an active female dog to exercise, race, play with and snuggle! That said he’s a confident guy and doesn’t need another dog in the household. This guy is a higher energy/active guy! As you’d expect from his breed, he’s brilliant and loves to stay active. Whether it’s hiking, racing around with his dog friends, going on adventures with you, or playing incredible games of fetch, this guy loves an active lifestyle and it’s truly wonderful to have the companionship of such an incredibly intelligent, loyal, devoted dog. He is a confident, courageous pup, who has been social and fabulous. He is super eager to please and is longing for the deep relationship that shepherds are known for. This guy will thrive in a home where he has room to play and with parents who are longing for a truly devoted, intelligent, incredible companion to have by their side for many years to come! He has such a heart of gold, and he’s surely sad to not have the deep bond that he lives for. If you’d love to make his dreams of a bright future come true, please visit www.greatdivideanimalrescue.org and submit an application for adoption today!!

Story
Bought Ace from a store in Norwalk and ever since then I had problems with my family not liking him. They all get annoyed by his presence and when he does things like barking or would have accidents here and there it would turn into a huge thing. But along with that I’m also not able to properly tend to his needs and it was a huge miscalculation on my part because I didn’t think my family would dislike him being there as much as they do but I learned the hard way. I work early and come back late and I’m not able to walk him or give him as much attention as I should be, not even close and I just want a better home for him. As long as I am guaranteed a home that will take care of his needs I’ll be content and okay. I’m also willing to the family interested in adopting
