Meet Al Dente and Casserole, a delicious dish just waiting to be eaten right up (figuratively, please) by you. Al Dente is an introvert who needs time to settle in and prefers to live with older children/adults. His eyebrows come with its own zip code and his Yorkshire scruff has the perfect amount of texture. Casserole is an extroverted lovebug who loves to spend quality time with her humans, taking short walks or just relaxing in a nice quiet spot. They are both such rock stars! If you find paparazzi lurking in your bushes waiting to catch a glimpse of them, just give them the shot they want; you don't want to make enemies with those guys. Here's some notes from their foster: 21 June 2024: Observations at 10 days in foster home: Casserole and Al Dente are just the silliest pair of dogs I have ever fostered! Both have revealed happy, well-behaved dogs with just enough foolishness to induce hours of laughter. They will thrive in a home where big personalities are appreciated, and love and attention are aplenty. They are a fan favorite of everyone at Muttvillle and who comes across their path! Over the past 10 days, they have settled into my home routine quite well. Al Dente appears reserved at first, but quickly, his facade is exposed-he is so loving and silly himself! FYI. I am calling them by their former names Buddy (Al Dente) and Twiggy (Casserole) as they seemed to find peace in the familiar. (I have never done this with a foster, but I tried it and noticed a big change in their listening and comfort.) Both are great eaters. Meal times are monitored as Casserole finishes hers and goes to Al Dente's bowl, and Al Dente just steps aside. This might be why Miss Casserole is on a weight loss journey. She's doing great; her weight loss has been slow and steady, just how we want it! These two are the best of friends. Al Dente is actually the one who induces play time, throwing his cute little body into Casserole, who usually rubs her body, belly up, on a rug, bed, or blanket! He tends to mimic her. They love their "walkies"! When I reach for their walking gear, they lose their minds! Excitement ensues. We don't go super far (about 2 city blocks, maybe 1/2 mile for now) but they truly enjoy trotting the streets. So what's the deal? These two are PERFECT and nothing they do is a bother. However, I've observed one opportunity for training. Casserole is the leader of the mild separation anxiety train. She wants to go! My guess is their former guardian never left the two alone so they are still getting used to the idea. After some howls and barks, both dogs settle. I believe they will get the hang of it as the duration of barks gets shorter each time I leave, and they are low enough that my neighbors note they have never heard them. Casserole Mrs. Personality. She wants your attention! She wants to be adored! But she'll settle when you say no and take her nonsense elsewhere. She's fearless and curious, and did I mention silly? She is a friend to all. To give you an idea, I finally let the pair on the bed for some snuggles in the morning. When it was time to get up, I placed Al Dente on the floor and reached for Casserole, who, without any hesitation, leaped straight into the air, Wylie Coyote style. No thought. No fear! I grabbed her before she got too far. She's up for any and every adventure. You would think her shortie legs and robust waistline would slow her down, but she's trying her hardest with trots around the block. Casserole has nothing but joy in her body! Al Dente You would think Mr. Al Dente would be pale compared to Casserole, but nope, he brings the ying to her yang. He's quiet and joyful, sharp and sweet. He is also a friend to everyone but sometimes greets other dogs with a few barks and jumps of excitement. He often uses low-rider Casserole as a podium - standing on her back when he is excited. He likes to snuggle or sit nearby and is never demanding of anything. His unique looks (yes, this fella has a lion's mane) are an instant hit. Out of 50+ foster dogs, he has been, by far, the easiest dog I have ever bathed. Just laid in the sink and patiently waited. 13 June 2024: Observations at 24 hours in foster home: The best way to describe this duo: Casserole is the extravagant, "you only live once," wealthy woman living life by the seat of her pants, while Al Dente is the shy, practical accountant in oversized glasses carefully following the whirlwind - "We need to curb your spending ma'am." The three adjectives I'd use to describe Casserole are spunky, on-the-go, and "Pet me! Love me! Choose me!". For Al Dente, I'd say calm, quiet, and observant. They balance each other out perfectly. Both appear to be potty trained. Both are great eaters with no guarding behaviors. Both walk on a leash fairly well. They are friends to everyone, humans and dogs alike, while Casserole is in your face, and Al Dente is her shy backup. They do great in the car. Both haven't barked at the door or anything yet. Despite Casserole's robust back end and short legs, she gets around really well. I think this will improve as she loses those extra ounces. She can get up and down stairs (and don't try to help her; she's got this.) Al Dente is a little stiff after waking up but generally fairly agile. They both can do a slow, around-the-block walk. Despite needing to be together, they will sleep in different beds next to each other. Casserole doesn't like it when Al Dente isn't in the room with her, but Al Dente doesn't mind a break from Mrs. Personality. Overall, I think this pair's ideal environment consists of any person, couple, or family who would love to have a pair of senior mutts that will make them laugh daily. They don't seem bothered by city life but wouldn't mind in a quiet place to call home. Whoever takes this couple home has found the perfect pair of sweet and sassy, chill and chaos (Casserole isn't chaos but makes for a nice play on words).

Please meet Augie. He is such a calm, sweet guy. He NEEDS a home. He is so gentle that he just doesn't do well in a rescue situation. It can be a foster home or a forever home. But a home he needs! He has gained some weight in rescue but with regular walks and outings, I am sure he will get back to a good weight. He does well with other dogs but he prefers to just stay out of trouble and clear of hoopla! I just know he would LOVE to have someone to spend time with him. Doesn't need much...just some love. If you think Augie might work in your life, please text your interest to be sent on online application form or print your own from the Forms section at wrenyorkierescue.org as well as reading the “how it works” section to understand the Rescue process. Again, even a foster would be wonderful! As a foster, if you live near the rescue, we will supply his food. Thanks for considering sweet Augie.

SEPT 2024: Miss Tazzie is a very affectionate & companionable girl who likes to keep her person in sight at all times-i.e. she will follow whenever her person moves into another room or outside, and becomes quite vocal when left behind; also VERY vocal with pleasure at her person’s return, only quieting down once her person enters the home, sits down & says SHUSH. For this reason TAZ needs a detached home with yards, rather than an apartment building, and preferably another canine housemate to play with; If you can provide a suitable environment for a dog with vocal separation anxiety, please revisit Wrenyorkierescue.org & read the “how it works” section to understand the Rescue process, or text the number below to request a fill-in-online application if you don’t have a printer.

This is our sweet Jessy. She has been with us for a while because she is old and almost blind. Even though she is adorable, we know she doesn't have the best figure or eyesight. But to us, at the rescue, she has the BEST personality. She is always in the middle of everything, enjoying herself and asking for attention and love. Basically, hope in the form of a dog!!!! She knows her way around the entire rescue facility...stairs and all! We all want her to have a home...foster or adoption. We believe she will get to know your home because her spirit will force her too!!!! But probably best to not have too many stairs. You aren't getting a young dog, but, you are getting a few good years with a SWEET dog! We hope you consider Jessy and give us a call at the number below. We will walk you thru the foster or adoption process. Thank you for considering Jessy!

The Sushi pups came into our rescue with Mama Sushi after they were rescued from a dirty yard. We promised to find them pawsome forever homes and the rest was history! This litter is 2 boys and 2 girls. We don’t know who Dad was but we expect the litter will be on the smaller side when fully grown as Mama is pretty petite. These puppies will have lighter shedding coats and won’t require grooming. They could be an option for those with low allergies. Roll up a hand roll of adorableness today!   California Roll (M): California Roll is a sweet, smart, and confident dude who is everything amazing about puppies all rolled up into a tasty snack! Cali Roll has the sweetest little face and loves showering his people in kisses and cuddles. California Roll mastered the art of the puppy dog eye quickly and leads the pack when he hears the kibble hitting the bowl. He is a soulful boy who can go from zooming around the yard to curled up in your lap content in minutes. Cali Roll loves toys but he also loves nature’s toys and will amass a pile of sticks and leaves that will leave any squirrel jealous. Once you order a California Roll, you can expect a life of love and affection!  Maki (F): Maki may be small but she is mighty! This girl is a little darling who we suspect looks like mystery Dad! She loves chasing her brothers and sister around the yard but she loves cuddles even more. As her confidence has grown, she has learned how amazing belly rubs are and now she happily sits in laps for hours at a time. Maki has an adorably sweet face with a tiny little button nose. Her adorable looks fit her feisty yet loving personality perfectly. Maki has so many adventures on her horizon and we know that she will make her lucky forever people so happy. As long as you have an open heart and a lap ready to hold a cute puppy, Maki will be a perfect fit for you and your home.  Nigiri (M): Nigiri is Mr. Steal Your Heart! This handsome heartbreaker is an energetic and happy pup who loves zooming around the yard with his siblings. As his confidence has grown, Nigiri has begun his career as an explorer in earnest, sniffing the piles of leaves and finding the very best sticks to gnaw on. Nigiri is a fan-favorite with his Ewok looks and love of kissing everyone he meets. He loves rolling over for belly rubs and will keep you fawning over him for hours until he decides he is ready for his next zoomies session. Nigiri will show off for hours at a time as he brings you toys during his play sessions. He knows that once you meet him, you won’t be able to imagine your life without him.  Spicy Tuna (F): Spicy Tuna is the cuddle bug of her siblings and is the Queen of the bunch! She is an active playmate but when she is ready for rest she will melt like butter into your arms and give you puppy dog eyes until you shower her in affection. She adores her foster family and loyally trots after them wherever they go. While Spicy Tuna is a total lap dog, she is also a playful puppy! She loves to romp around the yard with her siblings and has started figuring out the wonder of plush toys. With her gorgeous green eyes, we know that she will have you buying out the entire toy aisle at your local pet store. We know that Spicy Tuna will make herself right at home with her loving forever family and we can’t wait to see how this princess is pampered!    The puppies start their day around 7:30 AM and hang out in their pen until their foster mama comes in to say good morning. After some breakfast and water, they trot into the backyard for some supervised playtime. They play their hearts out for a few hours, running around with their toys and chasing each other. After a morning of play, they pile together for a well-deserved nap. This cycle repeats for the day and they love exploring more and more of the yard as they grow. They eat lunch at 1 PM and dinner at 6 PM. In the evening, the puppies get some cuddles and individual attention which they happily soak up. After a long day of being adorable, the litter retires to their pen for the night at 8 PM. It’s a hard life being too cute for words!   The Sushi puppies live with a 30 pound dog who isn’t the biggest fan of puppies but they are working on changing his mind! They love humans and their foster family has been hard at work ensuring they make new friends every day. They have been given a fantastic base of socialization and will thrive in homes prepared to continue their training. Interested homes must be prepared to discuss their plans for training and socialization. The Sushi puppies are ready to roll their way into your heart! They’re the perfect summer snack.     The Sushi puppies are only an option for homes who have owned a dog in the last 5 years. Kids in the home should be over the age of 7September 7, 2024, 9:39 pm
