He’s very very energetic. He’s a herding dog so perfect for farms. Can use a few weeks of training because he’s not too good around other dogs. I just don’t have enough time for him as I am working 2 jobs now.

Story
Meet Cora!• 7 years old• 60 lbs• Kelpie/Shepherd/Husky mix• Spayed, vaccinated, HW and Lyme negative• Located in Centreville, MD• Transport available to neighboring statesAfter her owner passed away unexpectedly, Cora was left with no legal owner and nowhere to go. A small group stepped in to help, and she has been safely boarding at Dandyland Pet Care Center, where staff describe her as easy to handle, crate trained, and responsive to structure. She knows “sit” and “paw” and has made great progress. She’ll need an “living a in home again refresher. She hasn’t lived with kids before, but mature kids would be fine!Cora is looking for a calm, patient home that understands working-breed dogs and the importance of routine. She has done well with slow introductions to a few calm kennel friends and could be happy as an only dog or with a mellow canine companion.

                                                                             KENNEL ID #18804Meet Molly, Molly is a beautiful, energetic young girl weighing approximately 40 pounds and is likely an Australian Kelpie mix (best guess). She is around 1 year old and full of potential. Molly was found abandoned at a church, where a kind neighbor stepped in to give her a flea bath and make sure she was fed. When she came into rescue, she was in heat and was spayed right away. She does great with structure and routine. Molly sleeps inside a kennel overnight with no accidents, uses a dog door confidently, and is kenneled next to another dog. While they may bark at each other at times, there is no aggression. Because of her youthful energy and Australian Kelpie breed traits. This breed is known for being absolutely a brilliant, high-energy dogs were bred for herding in the rugged Australian outback - and it shows!* Kelpie Highlights: Super Smart - Quick learners and love a challenge. High Energy - Always ready to go, go, go! Great for an active family. Molly would do best in a home with older children. She walks nicely on leash and actually seems calmer when leashed. She already knows how to sit on command, is very smart, and is highly trainable—she’s going to thrive with continued guidance and enrichment. Molly is ready for a committed home that will help her channel her energy and continue her training so she can be the amazing dog she’s meant to be. ❤️ Molly is hanging out with her foster mom, Carol, in Tennessee. If you have any questions, please email her at  abandonedangelsinc@gmail.com .  Thank you for your interest in rescue. If you would like to be considered for adoption, please submit an application to adopt. If you have any questions regarding the adoption process, please email:  rescuedp2024@icloud.com  or ddlu219@yahoo.com   for dog/puppies.    APPLICATIONS TO ADOPT : DOG     CAT     BIRD      REPTILE       SMALL ANIMALS       June 23, 2026, 4:15 pm

Story
Meet Cary: Cary is about a 1 year old (as of May 2026) Kelpie / Jack Russel / Cur mix (best guess?) that weighs about 29 pounds. Cary was at a shelter in Tennessee and not getting any interest so he was marked to euthanize to make room for more. Fortunately we heard about the situation and had a foster find a spot for him. Cary is currently being fostered in the south and would love to take the freedom ride north to Pennsylvania to meet more prospective families. Cary is incredibly friendly with both people and dogs. Cary is a bundle of energy as well as a playful puppy. Cary is just the right size and temperament for being a lap buddy or bed buddy as well as a buddy for taking for long walks. Cary is currently house trained to a doggie door and may need patience while learning a new routine. We would love for Cary to have a home with a fenced in yard so he can run and play freely. Cary is up to date on his shots and is neutered. If you are interested in giving this young cutie a great life, please go to Charlie’s Crusaders website (www.charliescrusaders.org) to fill out an application. CURRENT LOCATION: Mississippi, awaiting transport to PA ##2742470##

Story
Dixie is an 8-month-old husky mix that weighs approximately 25 lbs and has the brightest blue eyes you’ve ever seen! Dixie came to us in April 2026 on a rainy day when her and her mom were running all over the highway, darting traffic and unsure where to go. A good Samaritan saw them, did a U-Turn and got out in the pouring rain to try and coax them into her car. At first Dixie and her mom didn’t want to come, but the good Samaritan sat on the highway and offered them food until mom got close, and then Dixie got close. She was able to safely get both in her car and drive them home. The mom was a spaniel mix and was adopted! Dixie we do not believe will get very big as her mom only weighed 30 lbs full grown, and we do not know who dad was. Dixie is kennel trained and is learning commands. With some one on one time, she will master them in no time. She is VERY smart and eager to learn. She loves other dogs and is currently being fostered in a sanctuary along the Texas/Mexico border. This sanctuary is only a temporary place to house animals while we find them their forever homes. So small or big dogs, she gets along wonderfully with! Dixie is learning still to trust humans. She needs a home where her family is patient, understanding and gentle. Another dog in the home would really help Dixie come out of her shell. If no other dog in the home, at least a home that can offer play dates or even take her to doggy day care! She is learning to play with toys and loves them. Dixie is a gorgeous girl that deserves the best. Please consider adopting Dixie! Dixie is fixed (spayed/neutered), heart worm negative, current on age-appropriate vaccinations, current on flea/tick and heart worm prevention, microchipped, current on dewormer, and will receive a clean bill of health from a licensed veterinarian prior to transport. To apply to adopt you can go to our website at: www.pawsitive-Impact-animal-rescue.org This animal is currently located in Texas, but we do NOT adopt animals out in Texas due to the hundreds of animals being euthanized here daily. We ONLY do adopt in Central US and the East Coast. The adoption fee listed ($525) INCLUDES transport from Texas to the location where this animal is posted in. Transport goes to the following locations every 2-3 weeks: (Certain areas vary depending on adopters in the area) Albany and Latham, NY Wells and Brattleboro, VT Willington, New Haven and Dayville, CT Port Chester, NY Dayton and Akron, OH Grove City and Bloomsburg, PA Ridgefield and Mt Laurel, NJ White Marsh/Elkton, MD Falls Church, VA We have happily adopted hundreds of animals this way (long distance), and we do our best to make sure the animal you are applying for is best fit for your home.

These pups are in Newark, Delaware too!

Story
Tessie is a one-year-old Blue Heeler with a big heart packed into a petite 20-lb body. Like many Heelers, she forms a deep bond with her person and loves being close — she’s the ultimate little “Velcro dog.” Her favorite things include outdoor adventures, chew toys, exploring the yard, and then settling in for a cozy couch nap with her favorite human. Tessie is incredibly smart and will quickly learn a new routine, but she’ll do best with a patient adopter who will give her a little time and space to settle into her new home. Once she trusts you, her loyalty is unmatched. She also takes her job as yard supervisor very seriously and has the cutest little sassy strut when she’s feeling happy. While she prefers being out and about with her people, she can stay in a crate when needed. Tessie would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a devoted, intelligent dog who will be by their side through life’s adventures. ❤️ If you think Tessie might be the perfect match for you, please apply at straynetwork.org #adoptdontshop

Story
Koohunei (Koo-who-neah) is my best friend. I adopted him in April 2022 when he was about 8 weeks old. He just turned 4 this January. His name in my language means “happiness,” and that’s exactly what he brings. He’s incredibly affectionate—he loves holding your hand, being pet, and staying close. He’s playful, snuggly, and always so excited to see you come home. This is not an easy decision for me. Due to personal and health-related circumstances, I’m no longer able to give him the level of care and stability he deserves. I love him deeply, and this choice is coming from a place of wanting better for him. I’m looking for someone patient and kind who is willing to learn his personality and give him a loving, stable home. If possible, I would really appreciate staying in touch or receiving updates, as he means so much to me. Thank you 🤎
