Story
Meet BigBoy, the goofiest, precious, cuddle bug there is. He is perfect in so many ways. BigBoy is great with dogs and kids. He is potty trained and uses his puppy pads well. He can be stubborn at times, but then he turns it into a game. BigBoy was introduced to me when I visited a former friend of mine. Upon entering the home, Big was in a cage that was facing a wall, covered in blankets. The first thing I noticed about him was how BIG his puppy paws were, and of course, how sweet and excited he was to see a new person despite being in a cage. I was told he was kept in there all day. Big was being neglected pretty bad. So, a few days later, he ended up with me :). I have been trying to find him a home on my own to avoid shelters and more cages. These last three months have been definitely something to talk about (in the best way), I am so grateful to have met BigBoy and hope he finds his forever person who will cherish him how he deserves.

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:  Zoe (aka Smudge)  (ZOE0726OWSFS)Estimated Breed:  Am. Staffordshire Terrier / Retriever mixApproximate Age:  11-12 months  Approximate Weight:  55 lbs Currently Living at:  Foster  Adoption Fee:  $400DOG'S DESCRIPTION:   Say Hello to Zoe!      Zoe is part goofball, part lovebug. Her favorite place to be is wherever her humans are, whether it’s napping, going for a walk, doing zoomies at the dog park, or getting extensive belly rubs. She often gets the full-body wiggles and can almost always be found carrying a toy around. You can usually tell where she is from the sound of her constantly-wagging tail thumping on something. Zoe still has lots of puppy energy and loves to play, but is also content to spend most of her time relaxing by your side.     Zoe is a wonderful, affectionate pup who is house-trained and crate-trained. She went through an extensive obedience raining program and is trained on an e-collar as well as verbal commands. She is still learning loose leash walking and would benefit greatly from owners who will enforce some boundaries–even though it will be hard to do when she gives you those puppy-dog eyes!     Zoe gets along with other dogs outside the home and can attend doggy daycare, but she needs to be the only pet in the home because she is aggressive toward other dogs on her home turf. She is truly a people dog, and is great with children and adults. If you're looking for a cuddly companion who would also make a great activity buddy, Zoe will truly be your best friend.  Apply today! Your new pet will require a refresher in house-training. K-9 Lifesavers strongly recommends all new adopters enroll their new pet into obedience training. This provides for an easier transition into a new home, ensures the dog remains well socialized, and helps form a bond between the dog and the new family.    Adoption fees cover basic vetting, rabies (if puppy is old enough), distemper/parvo vaccinations, deworming, monthly heartworm prevention while in our care (if old enough), monthly flea/tick prevention while in our care, and transport costs. K-9 Lifesavers will also cover the cost of spay/neuter at our partner vet at 6 months of age or reimburse adopter for up to the amount of our partner vet cost should you choose to spay/neuter at your own vet.Foster Program:    Foster homes provide for the temporary care of a rescue until the dog is placed into a loving, forever home.  For more information on becoming a foster parent, and our Foster Program, visit http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/foster/ or email our Foster Coordinator at foster@k-9lifesavers.orgSPONSOR ME! Help Save Lives!    Make a tax-deductible donation today and help save a life.

Belly rubs, cuddles, and quality time are high on his list of favorite things.     Roscoe is housebroken and absolutely adores other dogs.

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.  ***** Nash is 10mos old, weighs 68lbs, is intact, is up to date on his vaccines, and is not microchipped.  Nash's guardian states: "The days of going to the bathroom in peace in our household have gone away since adopting him and we love it :).  If you get up to get a cup of water in the same room as him, he will come stand by the fridge.  If you go to get dressed upstairs, he will come and lay on the floor, with his tail wagging, waiting for you to give him some loves.  He truly loves humans and will be your best friend fi you give him a little bit of love.  He truly is a man's best friend. He had two separate incidents where he snapped on our other dog as well as my parents dog and caused some bad injuries to them.  Nash is a snuggler and a companion, he will walk well on a leash, knows sit, paw, down, wait, and no and walks well on a leash.  He knows to walk by your side instead of in front of you.  Occasionally he will try to chase a bird or a squirrel.  Nash will sit on top of you and lay with you for hours if you let him do so.  Nash is currently living at my house still with our 7 year old dog, but cannot be trusted alone with her and has to spend a lot of time in the crate. " Nash's guardian explains why she has made the difficult decision to rehome him:  "He does not get along with our current dog who is 7 years old.  After several trainings and behavioral meetings, the experts suggest that Nash goes to a home with no other dogs in it." Lunge/Bite Incident:  On 5 May 2024, in Huntington Valley, PA, Nash bit his canine sibling at a boarding facility; the incident broke the skin; animal control was not involved; medical intervention was necessary.  Nash's guardian explains: "Nash was boarded with my parents dog for our wedding weekend.  Early in the morning, the boarding place allowed for play time with dogs who were known to be okay with other dogs.  During the free time in a room there were several dogs together.  Nash was playing with my parents dog, Juba, who he spends every weekend with.  Something occurred which is unknown to anyone, and Nash went after Juba.  The only thing that stopped the incident, was a german shepard barking at the two dogs fighting.  Juba was hospitalized for a day and received stitches, a cone, and a drain in his neck.  Nash had superficial wounds to his face and a deep cut on his ear. " Nash's guardian states the following regarding children:  Nash lives with children (ages 3, 4, and 11), so his guardian recommends his living with children, stating... "He LOVES any type of attention he gets.  He is still a baby, so we are actively working on "gentle" and "no jumping."  He doesn't know how big he is, so he can knock you down if you aren't paying attention!" Nash's guardian states the following regarding dogs:  Although Nash lives with a dog, his guardian doesn't recommend his living with dogs, stating... "Nash was always fine around dogs, we brought him to dog parks where he would play fine and was actually the submissive type.  But after the two incidents where he hurt dogs, it is a MUST that he go to a home with no other dogs per several professional opinions." Nash's guardian states the following regarding cats:  Nash hasn't lived with cats, so his guardian doesn't recommend his living with cats, stating... "He met a cat one time and was actually scared of it.  He would watch everything the cat did and monitor it.  The cat he met was slightly aggressive and was not super friendly to humans or other animals, so it is unaware currently how Nash would react with a cat that is friendly." Nash's guardian describes him as: Couch potato Playful Friendly Likes to be touched Affectionate Always at your side House-Trained Crate-Trained Likes men Likes women Nash's guardian describes his ideal future home: "Nash would thrive in an environment where someone wants a companion dog.  He will be your true best friend and follow you everywhere you go."

Meet Pluto 💙Pluto is a 3-year-old 65-pound neutered male with a unique silver-brown coat (possibly a Pit Bull/Weimaraner mix) and the softest ears.He’s fully vaccinated, healthy, affectionate, smart, athletic, and ready for his forever home. Pluto loves being with his people and would thrive in an active home.He enjoys walks, runs, hikes, dog parks, and playtime. He walks beautifully on leash, is food motivated, eager to learn, and knows several commands.Pluto gets along well with other dogs, has lived successfully with cats, and does well with kids. He is social, playful, and loves making new friends.His ideal home would be loving, active, and committed to giving him the companionship and exercise he enjoys. He would come with a nice furniture-style crate, bowls, toys, and food.This is an incredibly difficult decision for our family, but due to personal circumstances unrelated to Pluto, we are looking for the right forever home where he can continue to thrive.
