Story
Casey is ready to find a fabulous forever family! He's a senior shih tzu, about 11 years old, who came to AATDR from the Deep River case in CT. He is an absolute sweetie! So get in line and fill out your applications 🙂 https://www.allaboutthedogsrescue.org/get-involved Casey loves people and gets on well with other small dogs. We've never seen him with a cat but he would probably be fine - a meet and greet would tell us for sure. He'll do best in a quiet home with adults or older children. As a senior, he deserves to be able to just relax and enjoy his retirement. He'd love a canine companion who is a bit laid back. He does have some visual impairment but it doesn't get in his way at all. He needs eye drops daily, which are easy to give and inexpensive. He will have his neuter surgery on 6/10/24. . Let's show Casey just how wonderful life can be with a loving forever family, and that his present and future can be WAY better than his past! He's such a wonderful, deserving dog!

*Name: Petey *Age: approx DOB 1/29/24 *Current Weight: 13 lbs  *Adoption fee: $550 (plus $150 spay/neuter deposit, see below for more information) Petey is a pint-sized bundle of joy with a heart as big as his love for playtime! This sweet boy adores his toys and gets along wonderfully with dogs his size—big pups can be a little intimidating for him. When he’s not zooming around with surprising speed (seriously, you won’t believe how fast those little legs can go!), you’ll find Petey snuggled up on the couch. He has a cute habit of always keeping at least one paw, tail, or ear touching his foster.  A fenced yard would be a dream come true for this speedy little sprinter to stretch his legs safely. He’s also a professional kisser, spreading love wherever he goes. Petey is mostly crate trained and doing great with learning the ropes of being the perfect pup. If you’re looking for a playful, cuddly, and loving companion, Petey might just be your perfect match! IMPORTANT: This dog has not yet been altered.

Story
Johnnie ... no kids, good w dogs, savvy owner because he can be quirky and you need to read his cues. Johnnie was returned today after 8 months in a home . Johnnie is a lot like my own pup, Herschel. Herschel doesn't like to be handled or pet or will bite. Who knows the reason, it doesn't really matter why... I know and respect my dogs triggers and don't get bit. He's my baby and always wants to be close, just on his terms. Just like Johnnie. We will be working w a trainer for Johnnie.  He's a senior, shih tzu who is blind in one eye. He deserves better, and we will do all we can to make sure he gets the best of the best.  Do you have experience with a little like Johnnie, and want to open your heart and home for him?  Then fill out our application below, but please, only if you are truly serious about giving Johnnie his "forever" home. Please go to the link to fill our our adoption application.  https://www.remembermerescueny.net/adoption-application  Remember Me Rescue does not adopt out of the local area, no transport is available.  We adopt to Long Island, Westchester, NYC area and parts of Connecticut only. Also, we have a very high volume of applications and we are all volunteers. We cannot respond to every application personally. Please make sure your application gives us a good picture of your family and the life you plan on providing a dog from our rescue. We choose a home based on the BEST FIT for EACH dog and approve on a dog by dog basis. Thank you! ##1401740##
