Story
Ace is a 3-year-old pit mix with a big heart and a playful spirit. He is a happy, energetic dog that loves to play and be up under you! He loves playing with kids and enjoys being part of the action. He also enjoys meeting and playing with dogs and can thrive in a household with another dog. Ace is fully house and crate trained. He knows commands such sit, down, crate/place, and "drop it." He even knows how to dry his mouth after drinking water! He's smart and eager to please, and does best with structure and consistency. Ace can be a little apprehensive in new environments but loves people which will help him warm up in no time. He is a very people-oriented dog and forms strong bonds. Ace's favorite spot will be right next to you and because of this he can experience separation anxiety. He would do best with a family that can give him patience, reassurance, and a consistent routine. A home where he isn't left alone for long periods would be ideal.

If you are interested in adopting this dog, please fill out an Adoption Questionnaire athttps://petstablished.com/adoption_form/43315/generic.You can learn about the adoption process by visiting: http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/howtoadopt/.Dog's Name:  Jameson  (JAM0226OWSMN) Estimated Breed:  Pit Bull Terrier Mix Approximate Age:  8 yearsApproximate Weight:  20-50 lbsCurrently Living at:  FosterAdoption Fee:  $300DOG'S DESCRIPTION:  Meet Jameson — an 8-year-young senior sweetheart who has officially mastered the fine art of relaxation.      Jameson is the definition of a couch potato with a heart of gold. He’s not here for chaos, drama, or cardio… but he is here for cozy naps, quiet companionship, and being your loyal shadow around the house. If you’ve been dreaming of a dog who’s happiest lounging beside you, Jameson is ready to apply for the position of full-time best friend. This sweet guy is crate trained, house trained, and also semi-stimulus collar trained. He’s lived the good life before and is looking for a calm, loving home to enjoy his golden years.     Jameson can get along with other dogs, though he hasn’t been introduced to new dog friends in a while. He’d likely do best with slow, respectful introductions. He’s not the type to demand the dog park lifestyle, but he’d be willing to go if it meant spending time with his person.     Jameson does have a sensitive side — he has a low tolerance for loud noises and fast movements, such as remote-control toys or running children. He also can be wary around unfamiliar men, like handymen or first-time visitors, so he’ll need a patient adopter who understands that trust takes time and love. Jameson would thrive in a quiet adult home (or a home with older, respectful kids) where life is peaceful and predictable.     If you’re someone with a soft spot for seniors and a heart big enough to offer comfort, stability, and love, Jameson will repay you with unconditional love, loyalty, and companionship.

Story
DISCLOSURE: The adoptable pets in our program are still in the care and custody of owners who wish to re-home their pet. Owners have enlisted Rescue Well to provide marketing and screening of applicants as a service, free of charge. All fees and adoption conditions are determined by the owner. We advise that adopters do not send payment or deposits for pets prior to adopting.  ***** Zelda is 6yo, weighs 50lbs, is spayed, is up to date on her vaccines, and is microchipped.  Zelda's guardian adds:  "Zelda has plenty of love and energy to share.  She's still willing to be a couch potato and cuddle during movies though.  She thrives in a suburban or rural area.  Zeldo is truly the silliest, sweetest, most cuddly girl.  I'm going to miss her like crazy!  I allow her to roam the townhouse because she's not destructive.  I often find her on the couch or waiting by the door when I return.  Where she sleeps at night varies, but typically on her bed in the hallway outside my bedroom or on the sofa.  Sometimes I'll let her sleep in bed with me.  She knows 'sit' and 'lay down'.  Zelda quickly learns where she's not allowed to be in the home.  Regarding car rides, she does so well!  She enjoys drives!  She loves looking out the window.  I crack the window so I can sniff a bit.  She knows she's not allowed to be in the front seat, and I taught her to wait on the back seat until I open the back door for her to exit the car.  Zelda dislikes/fears loud sudden noises such as fireworks or gunshots.  She's not a huge fan of the church clock, either, but she's not scared." Zelda's guardian explains why she has made the difficult decision to rehome her:  "I am moving to a country with a strict import ban on her breed." Zelda's guardian offers a brief a medical history: "Zelda was surrendered to the shelter severely underweight and lactating (without her puppies).  She was treated for eye and oral infections.  Zelda takes fluoxetine (prozac) daily for anxiety." Zelda's guardian states the following regarding children:  Although Zelda hasn't lived with children, her guardian recommends her living with children, stating... "Families with children between ages 3-13 years old have dog-sit Zelda for a few nights.  She was very loving, playful, and gentle.  She calmly lets children in our neighborhood pet her and feed her treats.  Since Zelda is very active and loves attention, I recommend a family with children!" Zelda's guardian states the following regarding dogs:  Zelda hasn't lived with dogs, so her guardian doesn't recommend her living with dogs, stating.... "Zelda has leash reactivity (getting better!) when she sees other dogs on walks. The shelter recommended I do not take her to dog parks, especially when smaller dogs are present.  She is selective with her dog buddies.  I have taken her on playdates in a fenced yard with other dogs her size, and she behaves well when she's not on a leash.  She honestly didn't seem interested in playing with the dogs.  I believe she simply enjoys playing with humans.  The shelter mentioned even with her reactivity,  Zelda has had plenty of opportunities to bite or scratch another dog, yet she has never!" Zelda's guardian states the following regarding cats:  Zelda hasn't lived with cats, so her guardian doesn't recommend her living with cats, stating "I've only seen her interact with cats while on walks.  She again has strong leash reactivity". Zelda's guardian describes her as: Very active Playful Friendly Likes to be touched Affectionate Protective Indoor dog Nervous House-Trained Crate-Trained Zelda's guardian describes her ideal future home: "Zelda would benefit from a fenced yard and a household with an active lifestyle. She has plenty of energy and love to share.  She's still willing to be a couch potato and cuddle during movies though.  She thrives in a suburban or rural area.  I live in the city, so sometimes we drive to parks in suburban areas and I quickly notice she's more relaxed.  Excessive noise and traffic can be distracting and sometimes overwhelming for her.  She truly is the sweetest, silliest, most cuddly girl. I'm going to miss her like crazy." Rehoming Fee:  None Location:  Baltimore, MD***** ADOPTION PROCESS  1. If you are interested in ADOPTING me, please CLICK HERE:  ADOPT ME 2.

We advise that adopters do not send payment or deposits for pets prior to adopting.  ***** Mozzie is 7-1/2yo, weighs 56lbs, is neutered, is up to date on his vaccines, but is not microchipped.  Mozzie's guardian adds:        "Mozzie is an outstanding little love bug. He is always smiling.  H e loves adults and would be happy to cuddle all day long. He is a joyous goofball when he wants to play and listens very well to commands. He always wants to be right by your side and protect his owner. Everyone that meets him immediately falls in love with is friendly personality. I never have trouble introducing him to houseguests. When he goes outside to go potty he does his business quickly!  Mozzie is alone 8 hours/day and sleeps in a bed or in his crate at night.  He knows 'no', 'off', 'move', back up', 'sit', 'stay', 'night night' (go to crate), 'lay down', 'come here', 'closer'.  He dislikes/fears the sounds of keys and loud vehicles passing by.  He free roams the house during the day or is locked in a crate.  He has a habit of eating underwear, so if there is any reason dirty laundry or trash cannot be kept behind a closed door he would be in the crate.  He rides fabulously in the car!"       Mozzie's guardian explains why she has made the difficult decision to rehome him:   "Behavioral issues, he nipped a child." Bite/Lunge Incident:  On 30 May 2024, Mozzie nipped his guardian's boyfriend's child; the bite broke the skin; animal control was not involved.  Mozzie's guardian explains:  "He was being introduced to the child, he was happy and wagging his tail.  He then stopped to lunge and bite her with no warning." Mozzie's guardian states the following regarding children:  Mozzie hasn't lived with children, but during his only visit and introduction to a child, he bit, so his guardian doesn't recommend his living with children. Mozzie's guardian states the following regarding dogs:  Mozzie has lived with a dog, but his guardian doesn't recommend his living with dogs, stating "He barks, whines, lunges, pulls on leash, will bit a dog". Mozzie's guardian states the following regarding cats:  Mozzie has lived with cats, so his guardian recommends his living with cats, stating "He is very excited about cats but can be introduced and live peacefully with a cat.  When he sees a cat outside he will whine and bark and try to get to the cat". Mozzie's guardian describes him as: Barks some Moderately active Playful Friendly Likes to be touched Fearful Affectionate  Nervous Always at your side House-trained Leash-trained Crate-trained Indoor pet Outdoor pet Likes men Likes women Mozzie's guardian describes his ideal future home:  " My ideal home for him would be someone with a fenced yard, but it is not required.  Someone who is experienced with reactive dogs and can help him overcome his nervousness.  I do believe he reacts out of fear.  Someone who has time to play with him. Someone with no children or other pets, cats are okay, he has never bitten a cat but the introduction must be done properly over time.  I would be overly protective about introducing him to anyone other than adults, who he is extreme friendly and loving with.  Someone who likes to go out on adventures, he is a very excited dog and loves to explore the world around him."
