Meet Linus! Fostered in Cape May, NJ This adorable almost 2-year-old Maltese is basically a living teddy bear with the sweetest little heart. Linus is the ultimate Velcro lap dog. His favorite place in the whole world is snuggled up next to his person, soaking up belly rubs and all the love you can give. If you're petting another dog, don't be surprised if he wiggles his way into your lap to remind you he's ready for his turn! He's just beginning to discover how to play with toys, loves rolling around on the couch in pure happiness, and is happiest simply being by your side. Whether you're working, running errands, or relaxing at home, Linus wants to be your little shadow. Crate trained 95% house trained Great with dogs and cats Neutered, microchipped & up to date on vaccines His foster says he's the perfect little gentleman...and it's easy to see why. One look at that precious face and you'll be completely smitten. For more information or to apply:https://peytonsplaceanimalrescue.org/adoption-application ##2781432##

Story
Lady’s a 7yo 10lb Maltese mix. She’s dog selective, cat and kid 13+ friendly. She’s housebroken if kept on a schedule but will wear a diaper and use pee pads and crate trained. She’s good in a secure fenced in yard and/or going for harness leashed walks. She’s agile, smart, likes squeaky toys, people and going for walks but will bark at people, dogs and noises. She is easy startled so best to sleep in a dog bed on the floor so not to accidentally wake her while sleeping. Lady’s foster requires a calm home, where someone is home often, so not to be left for long periods of time, be an only dog, brushed/groomed often to prevent matting along with leadership, consistency, structure and to continue working on training. If your home DOES NOT meet these requirement’s please DO NOT put an application in. We will not call anyone whose home does not meet the needed requirements. Also, we will be concentrating on local to foster applications 1st since home checks and meets with all humans and animals in home is needed at meet. Our fosters are all volunteers so aren’t always able to travel too far. Lady as all dogs should have 2 weeks in their new home with just their people who live in the home and to not have people over for at least 2 weeks. Dogs need time to settle in and adjust to their new people and environment first so they can learn to trust them first. Lady takes medication for a seizure disorder and for her eyes. She’s spayed, vaccinated, HW negative and microchipped. Currently in Phila, PA. If your home meets the needed requirements and you’re interested in applying to adopt please do so at www.tprescue.org

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Nala! Quiet Senior Soul Looking for a Patient Heart   Nala was abandoned by the only family she had ever known after 10 years, she struggled to adjust to a new baby in the home. When we first met Nala, it was heartbreaking. She was confused, scared, and shutting down, not understanding why the people she trusted had left her behind.   Since coming into our care, Nala has been given the time and patience she needed to decompress. While she has made progress, learning to trust again has been a slow journey for her. The world feels a little safer now, but she still needs someone special who understands that trust takes time.   Nala is looking for a quiet, calm home with a patient adopter who is willing to move at her pace, earn her trust, and give her the safe and loving environment she deserves. With kindness, consistency, and love, Nala has the potential to blossom into a deeply loyal companion.   If you have the heart and patience for a dog who just needs someone to believe in her again, Nala may be waiting for you. ❤️Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 7, 2026, 1:58 pm

Story
Meet LOLA, our stunning 2-4 year-old Cockapoo blend girl. Lola's foster mom calls her "the happiest dog on this planet, always wagging her tail...always so glad to see you...wonderful, soft, gentle disposition!" Are you looking for an easy, quiet, calm, friendly buddy who wants to please and who's ready to show you her belly at a moment's notice? This little gal is content to sit in your lap, by your side, or at your feet--she just loves to be with you! Her eyes scream, "I adore you!" five minutes after she's met you. She can also be trusted when left alone overnight or when you go out to dinner or to work without any worries. Lola has a quirky gait and after seeing our vet, it has been determined one of her back legs is causing her issue and pain. Poor baby!! So it was recommended that it be removed and that's what we will do for her. It will leave her able to walk and live without pain. We can't wait for her to get on with her life with you and without pain. If you're ready to meet this sweet heart-grabber and show her what happiness ever after is, then you must apply today. 🌟 A Special Note About Adopting an "As-Is" Sweetheart 🌟 This wonderful Fido has been fully vetted, signed off by the Vet, and is ready for their forever home as an “as-is” treasure! This special category includes our beautiful seniors and dogs with unique, easily manageable quirks—like a cool tripod stride or a minor condition that may just need a simple daily medication routine. Because these pups are so special, their adoption fees are often reduced or completely sponsored by Trust Rescue! (When sponsored, there is no fee to adopt—just a wonderful opportunity to leave a donation so we can keep saving lives!) We love our "as-is" pups exactly as they are, and we ask that our potential adopters fully embrace their beautiful uniqueness. Depending on the dog, please be prepared for these common, graceful, or easily managed realities: Seniors & Wisdom: A senior dog won't move like a puppy! Expect graceful signs of aging like mild stiffness, slight cloudiness in the eyes, hearing loss, or common dental wear from their past lives. Manageable Routines: Some of these pups have a specific, minor condition. They are happy and fully vetted—they might just need a quick daily pill or routine to stay feeling their absolute best. These are natural, non-emergency findings that come with unique or mature dogs. If you aren't quite ready for a dog with a daily routine or a beautiful senior pace, we kindly ask that you explore adopting a younger or typical adult dog instead. But if you are ready to provide comfort, love, and a peaceful next chapter to a dog who is 100% ready to love you back, our "as-is" sweethearts are waiting for you! ❤️ Our Process: At Trust Rescue we’re dedicated to connecting loving families with wonderful canine companions. You can trust that every “Fido” in our care is unique, fully vetted, and altered per veterinary guidelines, ready to find their forever home. While their weight or appearance may change as they settle in, our commitment to their health and well-being is unwavering. Whether they’re in Texas getting vetted, groomed, and altered, or comfortably settled in New Jersey, all dogs are entrusted to and under the custody of Trust Rescue. They receive loving care in dedicated foster homes or at our facility. No matter where they are, you can trust they are always with us and receiving the best possible care. We’ve made our adoption process straightforward and accessible because we believe in making adoption achievable for everyone. Ready to adopt? Apply today: Fill out our straightforward application! Personalized Meet-and-Greet: If we believe your family is the right fit, our team will contact you within 1 – 2 business days. We’ll schedule a private, 30-minute meet-and-greet at our Trust HQ. This dedicated time is exclusively for your family and your potential new trusted companion. Affordable Adoption: Our adoption fee is designed to be affordable. There are several ways to meet the wonderful dogs available for adoption: Join us at our adoption events every Saturday! Visit our website for future transport information and schedules. Follow us, Trust Rescue, on: • our website: https://www.trustrescue.org/adoptable-dogs • Facebook and Instagram for continuous updates on our available Fidos and Saturday events. We’re always posting new information! Many of our dogs have lived with cats. While we don’t assess for cat compatibility, with thoughtful introductions and your guidance, successful dog-cat relationships are common. You have all the information here, to the best of our knowledge. We believe in transparency and providing you with everything we know about our trusted companions. Trust Rescue proudly maintains an Open Adoption Policy, building a canine community you can trust and count on.
