Story
Meet Bessie and Sparkles! Bessie and Sparkles are very sweet girls! They are a bonded pair. Sparkles is the daughter of Bessie. They are approximately 11 years old. Bessie is a terrier mix and Sparkles a maltese mix. They are small dogs weighing about 15 pounds. Both are well behaved, crate trained, house trained (when let out on a regular basis) and walk well on a leash. They would be good just the two of them or in a house with other dogs. Bessie and Sparkles are both friendly and love to be with their people. Bessie likes to be close. Sparkles loves to be closer. She loves to lay in the lap of her foster mom. Sparkles is super soft and loves to be pet. Bessie has the most gorgeous eyes and loves attention too. They love to lay around and snuggle, both each other and their human family. Both are healthy and do not need any special medical care. Bessie has a heart murmur, but it is minor and doesn't require medication. Bessie and Sparkles are wonderful little dogs!To set up a meet and greet or inquire about a dog, please first fill out an application at https://savinghoperescue.org/adopt It doesn't obligate you, but it is the first step. We don't get to all of the inquiries but respond to all applications. Thank you for choosing to rescue!

Story
Nigel is being fostered in PA. Nigel is a sweet little boy! He loves playing(chewing) toys. 😂 He loves being outside and especially loves walks! He loves to snuggle next to you on the sofa. He is dog and cat friendly. He likes to chase my cats, but he is actually playing with them. He gets very excited when it's time to eat and will stand up on his hind legs and beg. He is very active for 10 years old. He does have impaired vision but gets around very well. Nigel is on drops for dry eye and may need sedation before grooming. He will have a dental prior to adoption. BDRA has voted against the use of electrical fencing effective immediately.

Meet cute-as-a-button Margo! 

Margo is a Maltese mix lady who is both house and crate trained. She may be a sophisticated gal, but she still has great energy and enthusiasm! She has been good with other dogs so far - she just asks for a little personal space if they're a bit too much. 

Margo loves people! She's a sociable little lady who will greet you with a smile. Really! Her smile is one of our favorite things about her. She's always happy and loves loves loves pets and cuddles. 

Sweet Margo was abandoned at a motel. She's not asking for much - just a happy home of any size with someone who will love her dearly! Can you give her the happy furever home she so deserves?

Story
If you're looking for the ultimate companion and love bug, scroll no further. My name is Albus, or Albie, and I'm your new best friend. I'm a super laid back and chill pooch who loves to kick it with my humans. I may have had a few trips around the sun, but I still consider myself to be a lap child. Sitting on your lap and keeping you company is one of my favorite activities. In fact, I consider myself to be an expert human cuddler.

I have a relaxed and even-tempered personality, so I find it easy to get along with other cats and dogs. And although I love to cuddle and keep you company, I also enjoy the little bit of exercise that comes with exploring my surroundings. I should also mention that I enjoy a nice soft treat like ice cream, or even whipped cream for when I'm a good boy (which is all the time). Happy, easygoing, and oh so cuddly, I'm the perfect companion you've been looking for!

Story
Introducing, Aurora IV, a delightful older female dog with a gentle spirit and loving nature. Aurora, a former stray, may be advanced in years but her zest for life remains undiminished. While she may not hear the world around her, her heart speaks volumes through her affectionate demeanor.

In terms of social skills, Aurora gets along well with other dogs. Aurora is leash and crate-trained, proving to be a model of canine manners. Despite her deafness, she navigates her world with confidence, enjoying strolls in the backyard and basking in the simple joys of life. Treats are Aurora's weakness, and she delights in the occasional indulgence of her favorite snacks. As for toys, she's content with the simple pleasures-- cozy bed, a soft chew toy, and the company of those she holds dear.

Aurora's best characteristics shine through in every wag of her tail and every gentle nuzzle. With her playful spirit and unwavering devotion, she's sure to bring warmth and companionship to the lucky individual or family who opens their heart to her.
