Story
Popeye — The Little Boy Who Chased After His Family Meet Popeye, a 6-year-old, 16-lb sweetheart with the most loving little heart and a story that will absolutely break yours. Popeye was found outside a shopping center in Puerto Rico, where he had clearly been abandoned by the very people he trusted most. Witnesses saw his family drive away, and this poor little boy did the only thing he knew to do — he ran after their car. He chased the people he loved, desperately trying to keep up, not understanding why they were leaving him behind. But they never came back. Popeye was left scared, confused, and alone, still hoping someone would take him home. Thankfully, rescuers stepped in and gave this sweet boy the second chance he deserved. Despite everything, Popeye is incredibly affectionate and loving. He can be a little nervous at first, but he is friendly and just wants to feel safe. Once he realizes you're kind, he is an absolute cuddle bug who loves being close, soaking up affection, and reminding you just how much love a little dog can give. At just 16 lbs, Popeye is the perfect little companion for someone who wants a devoted best friend. He doesn't need much — just gentle hands, a warm place to sleep, and someone who will never make him wonder why he's been left behind again. He is making great strides with his potty training but will still need a little help! Popeye spent his last moments with his old family running after a car that wouldn't stop. Now we're hoping his next car ride will be the one that takes him home forever. Popeye is still in Puerto Rico and will be sent to his forever home or a foster home in the continental US - whichever opens up first!

Story
Introducing Mama Betty Jean! She’s raised her babies, she’s officially retired from motherhood, and now it’s HER turn to be the baby! Meet Betty Jean, the sweetest little 10 lb nugget who is more than ready to trade in her mama duties for a lifetime of snuggles, cozy blankets, and being absolutely adored! This little lady is a total cuddle bug. She loves attention, affection, and being loved on. Honestly, we think she’d be perfectly happy spending her days being pampered like the little princess she deserves to be.  Betty Jean is very playful with dogs her own size, but larger dogs can be a little intimidating to her, and she’s not afraid to politely (or maybe not so politely ) let them know she appreciates her personal space! After doing such a wonderful job raising her puppies, we can’t wait to see this sweet girl find a family who will make HER the center of attention. She’s earned it! 2 years old | @ 10 lbs Jack Russell/Spaniel mix (best guess!) Sweet, affectionate little cuddle bug Spayed! Mama Betty Jean is officially retired from the baby-making business!

Story
Meet Archer! This handsome 1-year-old Jack Russell/Rat Terrier mix is a pint-sized bundle of energy, personality, and terrier enthusiasm! Archer is a fun-loving guy who likes to play hard and live life to the fullest. He`s looking for an active household that can keep up with his adventurous spirit and give him plenty of opportunities to burn off that terrier energy!Archer is dog-friendly, but he`s definitely not the gentle, dainty type when it comes to playtime! This boy likes to roughhouse, wrestle, and tumble, so he`d do best with an outgoing, playful canine companion who can match his energy and appreciate his enthusiastic approach to friendship. We`re unsure how Archer would do with cats, although a confident, dog-savvy kitty may be a possibility. His compatibility with small caged animals is also unknown.Archer would be best suited for a home with older, dog-savvy children who understand the importance of respecting an animal`s personal space and boundaries. With an active family, some guidance, and plenty of opportunities to have fun, Archer is sure to make one entertaining little sidekick!If you`re looking for a spunky, playful companion with a big personality packed into a little body, Archer might just be your guy!

Story
Dave is just a chill guy. He takes life one day at a time, and considering everything this sweet boy has been through, that says a whole lot about who he is. Dave has had surgery on his leg, done water therapy to help with his rehabilitation, worked through some skin issues AND gone through heartworm treatment too. And through all of it? Dave has just been Dave. Sweet. Easygoing. Dog friendly. Crate trained. And somehow always wearing the cutest little smile. And can we talk about how CUTE he is?! His pictures simply do not do him justice. This is one of those dogs you meet in person and immediately understand. His little face. His smile. His whole vibe. After everything he’s been through, this very good boy deserves the happiest of endings. Somebody is going to look at that little smile every day and feel pretty darn lucky. 2 years old // @ 30 lbs medium sized terrier mix Just ADORABLE   very dog & people friendly Crate trained Sweet, chill & easygoing Professional heart-stealer available for adoption 11/12 -apply today!  please remember we are all volunteers, incomplete applications will not be processed If you are interested in adopting a GBP rescue PAL, please submit an application and we will reach out to you within 48 hours to start the approval process. https://galsbestpal.com/adoption/ It’s ok if you don’t know exactly what you are looking for, we are experts in matchmaking and can talk with you and figure out what PAL would be a good fit for your home!  If you would like to inquire about saving a life & becoming a FOSTER HERO, please fill out an application and a FOSTER HEROES TEAM volunteer will reach out to you to go over our lifesaving foster based rescue program! https://galsbestpal.com/foster/ To learn more about our mission, and to join our mailing list go to https://galsbestpal.com/ Follow us on FB and Instagram for extra photos, updates & videos of our available dogs.
