Story
My name is Rikki! I am almost 8 months old and 48 lbs. We think I could be a mix of Boxer, Shepherd, Rhodesian... probably a bunch of great breeds! We think I am almost full grown - I could put on a few and get to 55ish. What is great about me? I am housebroken, I am good with all people including kids. I also love other dogs and I am playful with them. I am gentle and I love attention. I am also trustworthy in the house and I am crate-trained but in my home now, I don't use it much. I am still trying to figure out what this thing called a leash is. I will need a little more work to find my confidence but I will get there. No cats please - we think they excite me a little too much! If you would like to talk more about me, here is a link to the application: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ZIVA/Dog

Story
                                                                             KENNEL ID #18804 Rudy was rescued from a high-kill shelter in Greene County, TN, where overcrowding forces heartbreaking decisions every day. Some were strays never reclaimed. Others were surrendered by their families — and sadly, owner surrenders are the first to be euthanized, as they receive no stray hold. Rudy was a stray and was so pitiful in the shelter. Rudy weighs approx. 30lbs. Thankfully, our rescue partner in Tennessee stepped in just in time, saving 15 incredible dogs from the “last call” list. Each has now received full veterinary care and is preparing for a fresh start in PA. Despite their past, these dogs are full of hope and heart. Could this survivor be your new best friend? Rudy is hanging out with his rescuer and foster mom, Carol, in Tennessee. If you have any questions, please email her at abandonedangelsinc@gmail.com. Donations are desperately needed and greatly appreciated for medical care. https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/abandonedangelsinc  Thank you for your interest in rescue.  If you would like to be considered for  adoption,  please submit an application to adopt.  If you have any questions regarding the adoption process, please email:  rescuedp2024@icloud.com  or ddlu219@yahoo.com   for dog/puppies.    APPLICATIONS TO ADOPT : DOG     CAT     BIRD      REPTILE       SMALL ANIMALS        November 13, 2025, 11:03 pm

Story
Lily was born August 1 2015, and came into my life in 2017 through a close friend. In 2019, she survived a major car accident in Rochester, where she was lost in the woods for two weeks before being found—and from then on, I fully adopted her in Buffalo NY. Six years later, she’s still full of energy and spirit, acting most of the time like a playful puppy than a senior dog. I’m now looking for a loving home that can give her the time and attention she deserves in her golden years. A few things to know about her: • She’s a great walker and enjoys meeting people and other animals. • She knows her boundaries and will walk away or pull away if she’s not interested. • She’s very food-motivated and endlessly curious. • She’s a velcro dog—if she could speak it’s “where are WE going?” • She greets you with joy and tail-wagging excitement when you come home. Lily has brought boundless love into my life, and I hope to find her a family who will treasure her just as much as I do if not better.

Meet Hope, THIS GIRL WAS THROW TO THE STREETS LIKE TRASHAND LEFT TO FEND FOR HERSELF! This is Hope’s story: This sweet girl had been running the streets scurrying for food for quite sometime as she was skin and bones when a Good Samaritan saw her and alerted us to her dire need of help. We immediately jumped in to get her the care she desperately needed. Even after enduring what she has she is the sweetest girl you’ll ever meet. She loves everyone and everything she been around. She has now been vetted and is gaining weight which is a blessing. But what she really needs is a family of her own where she can bond and get the love and attention she truly deserves.
