Story
Meet Juicebox!The sweetest senior smush face is looking for her forever home!Juicebox is just under 9.5 years old and, if we had to guess, she's an American bulldog/boxer mix. Right now, she weighs about 54lbs - however, she is a little underweight and could stand to pack on a few more pounds. Despite her age, Juicebox still has plenty of gas in the tank. She loves her walks, can chase a ball with the best of them, and will happily toss around a plush toy. She is very good on a leash, barely pulls at all, and listens to corrections. She's a mature lady that doesn't have the time or the patience for all of that stubborn nonsense. In the kennel, Juicebox likes to pretend that she's a big, scary meanie instead of the sweet sentient raisin that she is. Once she's out of her kennel, she's a completely different dog. She'll lean up against your legs and give you all the tail wags in the world. She's a social girl that loves being with people.Juicebox is afraid of cats and does okay with other dogs. She does need a slow introduction because she can be wary until she figures out their intentions but she hasn't shown any red flags here. She did previously live with children and was great with them so kids 8+ would be okay as long as the family has dog experience and the child knows their dog manners.

Story
Pebbles is a loving loyal companion excited for walks, play, laying in the sun, snuggles or simply being with her loved ones. She is an inquisitive, hilarious, goofy princess. This beautiful 65lb sun American Bulldog is about 10 years old, a clean bill of health, and with the energy of a younger pup. She hasn't slowed down one bit! She walks great on a leash, is perfectly housebroken, spayed, microchipped, and current on shots. She can be an anxious girlie, so Pebbles is looking for an experienced parent/home where she can feel safe. Her best fit would be a home with teens and up, and she may do well with the right doggie friend. Pebbles has been great around lizards and birds, and we don't know how she fares with cats in her home. Rehoming due to neglect and we are losing our housing in late september. Please set up a time to meet your new bestie.Crossposted to RI CL

Story
Meet Rinny ❤️🐾Rin is a petite brindle beauty, about 2-3 years old, with a massive zest for life packed into her small frame. She’s sweet, playful, and fast on her feet—especially when there’s a tennis ball involved! Rinny’s journey began at the Memphis Animal Shelter, where she found herself “on the list.” Thankfully, a compassionate person stepped in to change her future, and she made her way to rescue status. For almost a year, this girl has been patiently waiting in foster care for the loving forever home she deserves.Rinny is full of personality—energetic, affectionate, incredibly smart, and always eager to learn. She already knows several basic commands as you can see here: https://youtube.com/shorts/mnnSy7AHaEoShe loves car rides, short walks, hikes, and showing off her hilarious zoomies when she’s feeling happy. Tug-of-war is one of her favorite games, and she’ll happily challenge you to a friendly match. At the end of the day, there’s nothing she enjoys more than curling up on the couch next to her favorite person and watching TV.This precious gal is looking for a home that understands her needs and will help her continue to thrive. She would do best in:-A family willing to do slow, thoughtful introductions with other dogs.-A home with older children, as her playful puppy energy may be a bit much for little ones.Rinny has so much love, loyalty, and joy to give. All she needs is someone willing to give her the chance she’s been patiently waiting for.Could you be the one to give her the forever home she’s always deserved?Name: RinBreed: Bulldog/Pittie Mix.

Story
Rocco's Story Meet Rocco. He came to my house last week for an evaluation.... and I liked him so much I asked if he could spend the weekend while I got to know him a little better. He's a big lug of a guy with an even bigger heart. Rocco is a calm guy, nervous at first in a new environment, but tries his best. He loves to plop his bum right into the lap of his person, snuggle on the couch, and keep watch out of the window. He is a quiet guy. Sometimes off to himself, sometimes joining folks on the couch. I suspect he will be fine with cats, but since each cat is an individual, a meet and greet would be critical. He walks and hangs out with some other dogs. I have seen no prey drive from Rocco, instead, he has sat and watched the birds and squirrels in my window feeder. We are working on crate training and stairs. At present, stairs are a little too scary for Rocco. Rocco has some allergies that are controlled with over the counter medications. Rocco is a resident of Scituate Shetler where he is a staff and volunteer favorite. Unfortunately he has been there since January, so they asked us to help them get him seen by someone who will want to take him home and love him forever. We are grateful they did, "to know Rocco is to love him". Rocco comes with a Handsome Dan's Rescue Take My Lead grant entitling him to up to $500 in private training and supplies.

Story
Bubbles's Story Bubbles is a 5-year-old, 55-pound sweetheart with a body like a baked potato and a personality that feels like slipping into your favorite pair of sweatpants after a long day. Bubbles was dropped off at the shelter after she was found happily playing with children in a neighborhood. No one ever came to claim her, so now shes searching for a forever family who will give her the love she deserves. This lovable girl is all about the simple things in life: soft couches, cozy naps, belly rubs, and staying close to her humans. She has a low energy level and would much rather lounge beside you than run a marathon. Bubbles is good with children and, as far as we know, does well with other dogs too. Her opinion on cats is still unknown. This healthy, happy girl is ready to bring endless love and laughter into her future home. If youre looking for an easygoing best friend who will happily nap on the couch and steal your heart in the process, Bubbles is the one for you. HandsomeDansRescue.org
