Story
Female, 10 months old, 40lbs **This is a courtesy post for Say It Once Rescue League. Any applications received will be forwarded to the current foster and they will reach out to the applicants directly. RDR is not involved in the application process. Amor is currently located in Annapolis, MD.** Good with: Dogs Not tested with: Cats, Kids House trained: Mostly Energy level: Low Noise level: Some Hey there, I'm Amor, and I'm so excited to tell you all about myself! First things first, I absolutely adore walks. There's something so refreshing about getting out and exploring the world, sniffing all the scents along the way. Chew toys are another favorite of mine – there's nothing quite like a good chew session to relax and unwind. But what I love most of all is people. I'm a total cuddle bug and I thrive on affection. Food is another big motivator for me, so if you've got treats, count me in! Baths, on the other hand, not so much. I prefer to take things slow when I'm introduced to new environments, new pups, and new things. I might be a bit shy at first, but once I warm up, I'm a total sweetheart. In terms of training, I've got some basics down, but I could definitely benefit from some more focused training on house manners, confidence, and proper manners with other dogs. I'm a quick learner though, especially when there are treats involved! My energy level is on the low side, so I'm perfectly happy with a schedule that includes plenty of crate time and cuddle sessions. I get along well with other dogs, and while I haven't met any cats or kids yet, I'm open to making new friends. Overall, I'm a crate-trained, affectionate, and gentle pup who's just looking for a loving home to call my own. If you're in need of a cuddle buddy and a loyal companion, I think I might be the perfect match for you! My foster guardian says:  "Amor is a super sweet, intelligent, gentle, and lovable girl. She does well on leash, she’s comfortable in a crate, and knows some basic commands, which is impressive because she’s not even a year old yet! This girl has so much love to give and would be perfect for anyone looking to add a cuddle bug to their family!" Likes: Walks, chew toys, people, cuddles, food! Dislikes : Baths, prefers to take things slow with new environments and people My ideal home: Amor would do great in a home that will meet her affectionate needs with cuddles and pets. She’d do fine to have some exercise/activity, but would be content mostly hanging out at home too.

Story
Momma Donna is a Kelpie/Heeler mix girl that gave birth 3 months ago to 8 beautiful, wonderful Heeler puppies. This girl is 2 years old and only 42 pounds.  She is amazingly smart and seems to know exactly what you are saying to her.  We think that Momma Donna would be a perfect addition to a home with children who want to play and teach a dog some good tricks and manners.  She is willing to learn anything. Momma Donna is nicely housebroken and ready for a totally great and new life.  Momma Donna just needs a place to belong.   So, do you have a front porch and a hole in your heart ready to be filled by a loving and devoted dog who wants to walk down the road with you every day?   Please email us at ccrnewengland@gmail.com if you are interested in Momma Donna.  PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.April 27, 2024, 10:00 pm
