Story
We are looking for a new home for Blu. Due to military reserve obligations Blu is having to spend too much time inside and alone. Although she does have a dog door, our tiny yard does not give her the chance to run, play and exercise as much as she would like. She is 2 1/2 years old, weighs 42 lbs, is completely house broken, doesn't shed and is well socialized with people and other dogs. She has shown no aggressive tendencies and is very friendly. Blu has been has mainly been with adults but has also been exposed to children and was raised with 2 cats. She loves playing at the dog park where she has interacted well with many dogs and children. Blu is a very happy, sweet, enthusiastic and energetic dog who loves to cuddle. She does jump and is not great on a leash. Like so many people who have to give up their pet, we feel guilty but we know Blu would be happier with more human and animal contact and more room and time to run and play outdoors.

Hi hoomans 🐾 my name is Missy and I’m from To The Rescue, Inc.! I’m expected to be some time of Jack Russell mix and I’m a ball of love and energy!! I’m looking for the perfect home that’s understanding of my quirks. I can be a little scared at first of new people and I playfully growl when I first meet you but I’ll follow it up with kisses for days if you’ll let me. I’m looking for a family who knows the quirks of a JRT or willing to learn would be an awesome family for me but I’m open to anyone willing to give me a chance. My foster brothers are awesome to play with, even if I do guard my toys a little I’ll end up sharing. Anyone looking to add a sweet lil 7lb tornado to their life? I promise she’s worth it 🥰🎄 www.totherescueinc.org

Please contact Diane Pedulla (dianep@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.sweet small boy seeking fresh start and love! GABE NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!! Name:  Gabe      Best Guess for Breed:  Jack Russell terrier and beagle mix   Best Guess for Age: 2 years as of April 2024      SEX:  Male   Approximate Weight: 16 lbs   Gets Along With:  Other dogs! We haven't seen him with kids or cats but he can be tested   Currently Living at:  South Carolina shelter; needs a foster or forever home in the DC area!   Special adoption considerations: Gabe is heartworm positive, but this Lucky Dog got extra lucky!  They are part of a groundbreaking study we are conducting at our South Carolina Rescue Campus that has the potential to change the way shelters across the United States treat heartworm positive dogs.  All dogs in the study will be placed at random, in either the 2 shot or 3 shot protocol with strictly monitored protocols in place. Four weeks following their final injection, this pup will be eligible to transport to the DC area for placement in foster or adoptive care.  Post treatment, we will work with adopters to arrange a free follow up heartworm test 6 months after treatment concludes, followed by a second test at 9 months.   Gabe is Looking For:   His forever family! This cutie, through no fault of his own, landed in the shelter. He's looking forward to his new chapter, eagerly awaiting all the sniffy walks (that beagle in him!) he will get with his new humans, romps in the park, and all the adventures they can dream up. He's out of the puppy yips and as a wise, experienced dog, knows what's most important in life: Being safe and loved and under his own roof, and that's right at the top of his wish list.    In exchange, he offers all the adoring gazes and happy tail wags he's stockpiling at the shelter - lots of laughs at his doggy antics - and loyal companionship for all his days. What do you say? Can you see Gabe trotting by your side? What My Foster Says About Me:   We will update this once he has arrived in the DC area and spent some time with his foster   Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken.  All of our dogs are working on their crate training.  TO ADOPT:    The adoption fee for this dog is $475, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations, spay/neuter, and heartworm treatment.  If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online at 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   !

Story
Lil Kangaroo has a name that suites him to a T!  This little guy is tenacious in facing some hard things in life and we find him to be spunky and courageous  Adding to this courage, he is also a confident, intelligent boy that has endured the hard times when his human family could struggle no longer and keep him. He was reluctantly surrendered to our rescue.  What we have found is a wonderful dog and and we have delighted in see what a truly beloved boy he is.  This dog would fit in anywhere, anytime, anyway.  Lil Kangaroo is a 2 year old, 27 pound Jack Russell mix boy that is living in a foster home with two big foster fur brothers that don’t have anything ahead of Lil Klinger.   He can and does run with the best of them. He’s housetrained, loves car rides, happily accompanies his foster dad on his long walks and the active adventures his human dad loves to go on.  This boy, Kangaroo loves to explore and live life to the fullest with lots of new experiences. He embraces all the new things and enjoys playing with his toys and is ALWAYS ready for playtime.  If you are looking for a couch potatoe then Klinger would qualify only on short term moments.  He is a great and active breed that makes a wonderful family dog that you will spend time with and actively seek the exercise time that he needs.   He would be a wonderful dog for a  young family, young couple or a  young single person that is a runner, an explorer and a dog owner that might even want to do some agility activities together.  Of course Kangaroo is neutered , UTD on all vaccinations, microchipped and on heartworm prevention with a clear fecal and wormings done. We admit, we are partial when it comes to Lil Kangaroo. He is one of the cuter and definitely the nicest small dog you could find or consider for your life partner. Don’t let this one get away!  If you are interested please contact Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com and let’s start this ball rolling for his new forever committed home and family. 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.comApril 23, 2024, 4:30 pm

Story
Male, approx. 14 years old, 20 lbs Personality: smart, brave, snuggler. Meet Rollin, a senior guy who had to be given up because his senior citizen owner could no longer care for him. We know, it's heartbreaking. I'm not crying, you're crying. Rollin is a gentle fellow who enjoys short walks and all the ear scratches available. A compliment to his age, Rollin is a smart, affectionate, and brave senior citizen who doesn't need a lot of exercise (a few relaxed walks per day will do) and is content with quality sniffing spots and a surprise treat... or two... or three. In fact, Rollin likes a bit of a food challenge and enjoys using a "snuffle" mat to make meal-time extra fun and enriching. A true Jack Russell mix, Rollin will not hesitate to let you know when he wants attention or thinks there is something to be worried about. With that said, he recently had his nails trimmed at the veterinarian and the staff said he was one of the best behaved boys they've ever had for nail trimming. Leave it to this senior guy to be a staff favorite. If you're looking for a dog-friendly dog, Rollin may be your "man"! He gets along well with the resident dogs (both large and small) in his foster home and walks nicely on a leash. To top it off, Rollin hasn't had any accidents and his foster trusts him outside of the crate. Rollin is advanced in years, and he wants nothing more than to become your affectionate, loyal, and charming companion. ________________________________________________________________________ If you are interested in meeting a dog or cat, we require an adoption application. If the animal has "HAS APPLICATION" listed, they are still available to receive additional applications but also may be in the process of being adopted soon.

We do not have a shelter. CDCK has a thorough adoption process to find the best possible fit for each of our dogs and cats (we do not operate under a first-come, first-served model). Upon accepting a new cat or dog into the organization, we provide a basic vet visit that includes necessary vaccinations, disease screenings, deworming, microchips, and spay/neuter for dogs six months and older. We do not provide a comprehensive medical exam before adoption. As a result, sickness, injury, and disability may exist unbeknownst to CDCK. City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue is not responsible for payment of any vet care, including known and unknown medical conditions once a cat or dog is adopted from us. Dog specific: Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella vaccines. They are tested for HW, Lyme, Ehrlichia, Anaplasmosis. Most cats and dogs will have a house-training accident in the initial days in their new home and we cannot guarantee any pet is housebroken or crate trained. We also update our Facebook page daily with new cats and dogs.

Say hello to Roxanne! She's a petite and adorable 3 year old mixed breed who's eager to be a part of a special someone's life. Roxanne is a smart pup who knows her sit, down and shake cues. She would love to continue her learning with her best friend by her side. Roxanne is a little timid at times and would do best in an adult household willing to take things a little slowly and build her confidence. She would like to be the solo dog so she can be pampered like the princess she is. She has plenty of energy for active time but is also content to settle down by your side at the end of the day. Roxanne will bring lots of love and joy to a doting family.I am available for adoption from my foster home!
