Story
Meet Apollo — A Goofy Cattle Dog with a Big Personality! Apollo is a funny, goofy Cattle Dog mix with a personality that`s impossible not to love! Originally arriving at our shelter in 2018 through a transfer partner, Apollo was adopted and spent years in the same loving home. He recently returned after his family welcomed a baby and needed to move, but unfortunately couldn`t find dog-friendly housing. Apollo briefly lived with a child, although he was not directly introduced because the baby was very young. His previous owner loved his playful personality and all the fun he brought to their home. Apollo is definitely a character—and apparently, he has never met a meal he didn`t think deserved a second serving! His love of food has caught up with him, so he`ll need some help shedding a few pounds and getting back to a healthier weight.Apollo has not lived with cats or dogs in his previous home. He can be very vocal when meeting dogs while on leash, but his previous owner reported that he has successfully played with other dogs in the past. Because his history with dogs is more nuanced, any introductions should be slow, thoughtful, and based on how everyone responds. Apollo is looking for a family who will appreciate his goofy charm while helping him with his manners, healthy weight, and continued social skills. If you`re looking for a fun-loving companion with plenty of personality—and perhaps a very persuasive food-begging routine—Apollo may be your guy! Behavior and personality assessment is based on information provided by previous owner(s) and/or observations in a shelter environment and may not accurately reflect the pet`s behavior in your home.

They have been fostered whilst waiting for transport. His foster family was calling him Hunter, but his shelter name and paperwork is PAULY. We post our available pets across the east coast and Canada and welcome applications from anywhere on the understanding that approved families must be prepared to travel to the rescue in Dover-Foxcroft, Maine to meet and take home their new best friend. Health & Background Estimated date of birth: 19 April 2026 ✅ NEUTERED ✅  Core vaccines (DAPPv, Bordetella, Lepto) RABIES ✅ Monthly preventatives ✅ Microchipped with 24PetWatch - registered with Free Pet Chip Registry. ⚖️ Weight approx. 20 pounds Foster Report Card Summary: Pauly is a sweet, goofy puppy with a playful personality and an affectionate side that makes him easy to love. Foster describes him as one of the smaller puppies in his litter, but he certainly knows how to make his presence known. He enjoys playing, exploring, spending time outside, and snuggling with his people when playtime is over. Inside the home, Pauly is calm and relaxed, settles down quickly after activity, and balances his playful energy with plenty of downtime. He enjoys being close to his people while still maintaining an independent streak, and foster notes that he is both smart and incredibly cute. As a young puppy, Pauly is still learning the basics and will benefit from continued training and structure. He is currently working on house-training, is still learning commands, and needs additional leash practice. Foster reports that he can be vocal when crated or left alone and may become mildly annoyed by confinement, but he is not destructive and has shown no resource guarding, aggression, or handling concerns. Pauly enjoys being around other dogs and has a playful style that combines soft, bouncy interactions with a more confident and physical approach, making him a fun companion for canine friends who enjoy active play. Foster describes him as "sweet, lounger, and goofy," and believes he would thrive in an active home while still being a great fit for first-time dog owners. Overall, Pauly is a lovable, playful puppy with a wonderful mix of energy, affection, and personality who is ready to grow into an amazing family companion.

Story
IDGSR Welcomes SUNNY into the safety of the rescue!! THIS DOG IS FOSTERED IN TENNESSEE AND AVAILABLE FOR TRANSPORT ************** Hiya Friends! My name is Sunny and I'm adorable 5-6 month old male Cattle Dog/Lab mix. I am located in Greeneville TN and will be available for transport. Quick Facts Age: 5-6 months old Kids: will do great with kids Dogs: will do great with other dogs Cats: will do fine with cats Training: needs full obedience training 1. My siblings and I were dumped on a rural road left to fend for ourselves and suffer. Thankfully someone kind picked us up and brought us to the best rescue. 2. My mix breed is a mystery! I have some Shepherd-like features but a smaller body and a little wiggly nub tail. Wouldn't it be so cool to do a DNA test and see what I'm mixed with? 3. I'm just a baby and know nothing, nada, not one ounce of civilized doggy behavior. I need a patient adopter to teach me house & crate training and eventually give me a PHD in obedience skills. 4. I will get along with anyone and everyone. If you have kids, dogs, cats, turtles, chickens, or a crabby neighbor, my good looks & fun-loving personality will make every heart melt! 5. If you are ready to commit to 10-15yrs of love, laughter, puppy kisses, the occasional muddy floor, loyalty, and adventure - I'm your guy! **SERIOUS APPLICANTS ONLY!
