Story
Meet Rocky — a 6-year-old pittie with a heart that refuses to quit. Rocky was saved from euthanasia not once, but twice. The first time, another rescue pulled him from the kill list and placed him in a foster home. When that placement fell through and space was tight, returning him to the shelter would have meant imminent death. That’s when Eleventh Hour Rescue stepped in, because Rocky deserved better than being discarded again. Now he’s safe, loved, and we’ve affectionately nicknamed him “Fat Rocky”—because this boy enjoys the good life and wears it well. Rocky is the kind of dog who knows no strangers. He’s friendly, social, and ready to leave the tough chapters of rural Tennessee behind and start fresh in New Jersey with people who will keep him for life. His favorite things are simple and perfect: a big comforter, a cozy spot, and snuggling up close (honestly, same). He has been cat-tested, and with proper introductions, he’ll most likely do fine sharing a home with feline friends. Rocky is up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and ready for his next adventure—preferably one that ends with him on your couch, under your blanket, living the safe, spoiled life he’s always deserved. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will greet you like a best friend from day one, Rocky is ready to meet you. Apply today at ehrdogs.org.

Story
Milo is a 10-month-old blue Lab/Pit mix weighing around 45 lbs, and he’s as sweet as he is handsome. Toys and affection are his absolute favorites, and he’s always ready for some cuddle time after a bit of fun. Milo is a happy, outgoing dog who doesn’t know a stranger. He is good with other dogs, but cats are a no for him. He would love another dog in his home to play with! Milo is a bit of a puller on leash but we are working on it. Milo is microchipped, neutered, and up to date on vaccines – now he just needs a family to love him forever. Apply for Milo at EHRDOGS.ORG (function () { // Only on animal detail pages if (!/\/animals\/detail/i.test(location.pathname)) return; // Debounce to avoid double-fire (touchend + click, etc.) var lastNavAt = 0; function toFullSize(url) { try { var u = new URL(url, location.href); u.searchParams.delete('width'); u.searchParams.delete('height'); return u.toString(); } catch (e) { return url || ''; } } function looksLikeAnimalPhoto(url) { return /\/pictures\/animals\/\d+\/\d+\/[^?#]+\.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)/i.test(url || ''); } function handler(e) { var el = e.target; if (!el) return; // Find the closest anchor or image in the click path var a = el.closest ? el.closest('a') : null; var img = el.closest ? el.closest('img') : null; var url = ''; // Prefer anchor href if it points to an animal photo if (a && a.getAttribute) { var href = a.getAttribute('href') || ''; if (href && (href.indexOf('/pictures/animals/') !== -1 || looksLikeAnimalPhoto(href))) { url = href; } } // Otherwise fall back to the image src if (!url && img && img.getAttribute) { var src = img.getAttribute('src') || ''; if (src && (src.indexOf('/pictures/animals/') !== -1 || looksLikeAnimalPhoto(src))) { url = src; } } if (!url) return; // Absolute URL + full-size version try { url = new URL(url, location.href).toString(); } catch (_) {} url = toFullSize(url); // Stop PrettyPhoto (and any other delegated click handlers) e.preventDefault(); e.stopPropagation(); if (e.stopImmediatePropagation) e.stopImmediatePropagation(); // Debounce var now = Date.now(); if (now - lastNavAt < 500) return; lastNavAt = now; // SAME TAB navigation to the full-size image location.href = url; } // Capture phase is the key: we get the event before PrettyPhoto.
