Story
Hi, I’m Lexi! I have the most loving eyes and cutest freckles on my ears. I had a rough start to life and the rescue doesn’t know much about my past. I ended up in a very rural shelter in NC with a litter of puppies who unfortunately all passed in the shelter before I was rescued. I am house trained and crate trained. I’m not destructive when left alone but I do like to have a safe space to retreat to. I love to lounge on the top of a couch, just like a cat! I walk well on leash and know some basic commands. I am food motivated and love toys! My ideal family would have a fenced yard and at least one other dog. I love to play with other dogs and I get along with every dog I have ever met! I would not do well in a home with younger kids as I am timid and they would scare me. I can be slow to warm up to strangers because of my past, but I am a very affectionate and silly girl with my trusted people. I am not aggressive. I just need a patient owner who will give me time to settle in. I am currently being fostered in the Pittsburgh area, but I can be transported to an approved adopter. I hope to meet you soon!

Story
Click here for Ruth's Facebook Album ***NEW PICTURES ADDED!!*** 3-2023: Ruthie has been waiting a long time for the perfect forever home. She has grown up to be a gorgeous Pointer. I also listed her under the prefix Vizsla, because a Vizsla enthusiast would appreciate her good looks, but Ruthie is 100% American Field Bred "English" Pointer.. Ruthie is also a little more on the emotional side similar to her Continental cousins. Of leash, that's where the comparisons end. While Vizslas are closer working hunting companions, Ruthie has quite a bit of her field breeding in her and the last time we went to the fenced in dog park- she ran out 200 and 400 yards or more. These dogs were actually bred to compete in horseback field trials, but Ruthie would do best being adopted by an active family that can let her run at the dog park occasionally or if there is a runner looking for a dog with endless energy and endurance, Ruthie would be well suited for that. She is cage and house trained and ideally her perfect home would also have a young playful companion for her-- but not one she can push around. She needs to know her boundaries. Ruthie would also benefit from a structured obedience class. She is cuddily and has slept in bed with her foster parents the last 8 months. She has counter cruised in the past so she will also need to know what behavior is acceptable in the home. With a good quota of exercise everyday, she is going to make the best pet and companion. A fenced in yard is non- negotiable and NO HUNTING HOMES!!! 8-7-2022: Here's our new baby lemon Pointer-- Baby Ruth. She is one of many Pointers dumped by a breeder in Trenton, TN to the local shelter in Gibson County. She is about 7 months old and is around 35lbs. She is very thin and her foster family is feeding her 3 times a day to try and help her gain much needed weight. We are also worming her and also treating her with antibiotics for suspected tick borne disease. While Ruth is a playful, confident puppy, we are only looking for a pet foster to adopt home in the Chicago area. Potential adopters also need to have a safe traditional fenced in yard. She would also benefit in a home with a playful doggie companion. She is cat safe. Ruth was going to be killed in the over crowded shelter she was in and we are grateful to Pilot Bob for helping fly her in to the Chicago suburbs on July 25th. Pointers are the best dogs-- have so much joy and personality and we saved this little baby in time before she suffered from shelter life or any training abuse.

Story
Have you ever heard of the it girl, Blair Waldorf? Well here she is! This diamond of the season will steal your heart away with every wink of her eye and wag of her tail. Her gorgeous black and white coat shines like jewels everyday. Blair enjoys being brushed and petted by her family members, so she knows shes loved and cared for. Blair is a 2-year old, female, pointer mix. She is medium-sized (20-59lbs). Blair is a very energetic dog given her breed group! She will need lots of play time, tug'of'war and more to keep her healthy happy and content. Blair does not work well with younger children and should be in a household with older children only. Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)

Story
When I was born, I assure you I didn't want to grow up to be left in a high kill shelter, however, that is what happened to me. LUCKILY, the fates (and some awesome rescue folks) aligned and saved me from certain death and brought me to a safe place where I can find a REAL family and a REAL home. Let me tell you about myself, I am cute, happy, loving, nervous at times, but have the long legs of a pointer! I am about 2 yrs old, and unfortunately have heartworms, but the rescue is treating those buggers so no need to worry about that! I have lots of energy for running, jumping and playing and I have the handsome chiseled jaw that most actors would love to have! Now if you need a great looking chap, look my way!!! ADOPT...........DON'T SHOP!!! My LIFE depends on it!!! LOcal adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area)
