Story
Theo is a year-and-a-half-old golden retriever mix who brings beauty, sweetness, and boundless friendliness everywhere he goes. At roughly 80 lbs, he’s a true gentle giant who loves everything and everyone — kids, dogs, new friends, you name it. He’s crate trained, potty trained, and walks well on a leash. Theo would be happiest with a confident, dog-savvy adopter who can offer both structure and affection as he continues to grow into the amazing companion he’s meant to be. If you’re looking for a big, loving, goofy best friend, Theo might just be your perfect match. Theo is fixed, vaccinated, current on preventatives, heartworm negative, and ready to find his happily ever after. The adoption fee for this dog is $600. Application for adoption: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FRE/Dog If you are viewing on Petfinder/Adoptapet and cannot see photos or would like to apply for this dog please visit our website, www.frecklesfoundation.org. ***Note that puppy adoption fees most often help generate revenue that goes towards older, special needs animals that need our help. Surgeries, heartworm treatment, boarding costs....all things that often result in adoptable dogs and cats being left behind to be euthanized. So, adopting a puppy saves not just one life, but many! Puppies require an adopter who is home a good part of the day to continue their training! They are up-to-date on age appropriate vaccines and preventatives. Freckles Foundation & Animal Rescue cannot guarantee the exact age or breed of any animal in our care. The age and breed listed are based on information we may have been provided, and the appearance of the animal.

Story
Current Location: Korea 🇰🇷 🐶💛 Meet Nilla – A Loving and Energetic Golden Mix Girl 💛 🐾 Name: Nilla 🎂 Age: Estimated 7–8 months 🚺 Gender: Female ⚖️ Weight: 19 kg (≈ 42 lbs) 🐕 Breed: Golden Retriever Mix 💛 Personality & Charm Nilla is a sweet, affectionate, and energetic girl who loves people more than anything! She’s always wagging her tail, eager to be near her humans, and full of puppy joy. 🩷 She’s an active, happy girl who thrives with attention, play, and daily adventures. 🌳🐾 Adults: Absolutely loves everyone she meets. Children: Great with kids but may be too energetic for very young children — she sometimes jumps or playfully nibbles when excited. Dogs: Gets along wonderfully with other dogs! She loves to play, though can be a bit rough with large dogs. She’s gentle with puppies and adjusts her energy. She may get a little jealous if another dog approaches while she’s being petted. Cats: Very curious and approaches without fear. If a cat acts aggressively, she may bark or get excited, but otherwise coexists fine. 🚽 Potty Training Nilla is about 80 % outdoor-trained and improving fast. She uses pee pads when indoors, though prefers going outside. Her foster expects that as she matures, she’ll become fully outdoor-trained. 👉 A family who can take her for 3 short walks a day would be ideal. 🚶‍♀️ Walks & Leash Manners Nilla loves walks! She may pull slightly at the beginning until she relieves herself, but she calms down quickly. When she sees other dogs or cats, she can get excited — but if you hold the leash firmly and ask her to sit, she listens right away. She’s food-motivated, smart, and learns quickly. ✨ With consistent training, she’ll become a wonderful walking companion. 🏡 Home Life & Behavior No separation anxiety Chews on toys or wooden sticks when alone — please keep small or unsafe items out of reach Has never chewed furniture or walls Loves to be touched and cuddled 🤗 A bit scared of grooming (baths, nail trimming, ear cleaning), but she stays calm and never bites. She’s learning to trust and improving every week. 💔 Rescue Story Nilla was rescued from a city shelter’s euthanasia list. She nearly lost her chance at life, but thanks to rescuers’ love and care, she was saved and is now ready to find her forever family. Nilla is full of love, intelligence, and joy. She’s ready to bring endless affection and smiles to the family who opens their heart to her. 💛 Adopt Nilla and let her bright spirit light up your home. 🐾

Story
Please contact Chandler Jaffe (chandler.jaffe@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.is not pre-Olympian giant! Is sweet puppers! TITAN NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!!   Name:    Titan          Best Guess for Breed:    Golden retriever and shepherd mix    Best Guess for Age:    15 weeks as of 11/22/25        SEX:   Male   Estimated Weight (puppies' weights change quickly!):    22 lbs as of 11/21/25   Gets Along With:        Most puppies are in the prime of their socialization window and will do well with other dogs, cats and kids so long as they receive patience and proper training.   Currently Living at:   Puerto Rico shelter - needs a foster or forever home in the DC area to get up here!   Special Adoption Considerations:   Puppies under 6 months of age need to have multiple potty breaks/exercise throughout the day. Potential adopters with a standard 8-hour workday must be willing to make arrangements to meet the needs of their puppy.    See this sweetie in this video! - https://www.youtube.com/shorts/13DD8QGWxQw Titan is Looking For:   Hi! I'm Titan. My sister Tilly and I are satos, from Puerto Rico. It's been great growing up with her but we're ready to split up and get our own human families. I'm looking for long sniffy walks, romps in parks, and all the adventures my new humans can dream up! I definitely want to make pup pals along the way and go to puppy school so I can show how super smart I am.    I also have a whole bunch of kisses and tail wags to give my new humans, and I have so much love and loyalty for them. What do you say? Is that what you want? Do I get to go home with you? What My Foster Says About Me: We will update this once this pup has spent time in foster care. Puppy Vetting Requirements:        Lucky Puppies have had their age appropriate vaccines, but may not yet be “fully” vaccinated. It is the adopter’s responsibility to ensure that the remaining puppy vaccines are given at the appropriate time. Please also keep in mind that, until your puppy is fully vaccinated, they are at greater risk for illness than an adult dog.      Your new puppy will need to work on their house training and will also need to go to obedience school so they can grow into a well-socialized dog!  TO ADOPT:       The adoption fee for this puppy is $485, which includes the cost of routine vetting and transport from the shelter.    If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online bit.ly/adoptaluckydog   Lucky Dog Animal Rescue does our best to provide accurate information about the dogs we have for adoption. That said, we cannot make any guarantees about age, breed or temperament.   Thank you for contacting Lucky Dog Animal Rescue and helping to save a life! Please visit us online at        www.luckydoganimalrescue.org       . BE A FOSTER!!!       Fosters make it possible for Lucky Dog Animal Rescue to save and care for homeless and abandoned dogs!  To learn about fostering, please contact fostering@luckydoganimalrescue.org! BE A SPONSOR!!!!       Sponsors help Lucky Dog support the many dogs we save. To learn more about sponsorship, please contact       info@luckydoganimalrescue.org       .   &#226&#128&#139November 24, 2025, 8:41 am

Story
 &#226&#156&#168 Meet Jasper – A Gentle Soul Looking for His Perfect Home &#226&#156&#168 Handsome, happy, and oh-so-lovable, Jasper is a 2 ½-year-old Goldendoodle (born 1/25/22) who weighs about 50 pounds. Raised from a puppy by his current family, Jasper has been deeply loved, but as life has grown busier and noisier around him, he’s shown us that what he truly craves is peace, calm, and a more serene environment. Jasper is a wonderful boy who loves the simple joys of life—long walks on leash, fun play sessions at the dog park, and spending time with his people. He’s great with other dogs, both at home and out in social settings, and would likely thrive with a friendly canine companion to share his days with.   What Jasper needs most is a quieter household, ideally an adult home or one with older teens, where he can relax without constant sudden noises or stress. Inside, he’s housetrained, well-mannered, and happiest in a calm space where he can simply enjoy being with his humans. Outside, he’s active, playful, and always ready for a little adventure. Jasper is already an exceptional dog—he just needs the right home to let his gentle, loving nature shine.   If you think you can give Jasper the peaceful life he deserves, please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com. He’s ready to become someone’s loyal, loving best friend.   PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.  Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site.  The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comNovember 15, 2025, 8:28 pm
