Story
I picked up Sherman aka Big Sherm from someone who was giving him away. He is 3 yrs old. The landlord gave them 1 day to re-home Shermy. I was afraid he would go to someone who might hurt him, so I took him in. Hes a good boy, but needs someone who can help in his training. He is too big & strong for me, Im 62 and cant walk him without being pulled. He likes to nap a lot. It took a few months but he played with my Chihuahua and he leaves my cats alone. He has played with my son's dogs. He would nip at my granddaughter socks and try taking them off. She avoids him, so Im not sure how he would do around children. He needs his vaccines, he is unaltered. He also has a fixable cherry eye. He likes to lay with his head in my my lap & snuggle. I would keep him but I dont have the finances or the strength to train him. He sits & stays on command. Adoption fee will be refunded to his new family after 3 months. He needs someone who is patient, kind, and who will love him dearly & forever.

Story
Look at this silly girl. MS. Honey is probably bulldog/staffy mix about 11 months old. She has been with us just around 5 weeks. Before coming to us and going to boarding she lived her life outside. She is completely vetted! We are working on housebreaking, she is still a puppy who lived outside her entire life, so we are working on learning her signals that she needs to go out, but improving. We are also making sure to take her outside when she gets up from a nap or from her night sleep. She is doing well with crate training, just like any toddler she would prefer to be out of the crate, especially when there are new people she could be getting attention from. * Her personality is silly, inquisitive, sweet, and loving. She also can be sassy when she wants her attention, you see she came from a very bad background with no love or attention so now she craves it. She is a great cuddler with her people. Just like any puppy she will need continued work and patience with walking on a leash, teaching her off, recall, etc. We think she is part alligator as she loves to be outside and when called in she "gator rolls", she is doing better with this as she loves being in a loving warm home with her foster family. While in boarding prior to coming to us she did well with other dogs and didn't care about the cats. She is currently living with a couple cats, due to her size and excitement we do keep an eye on her and limit her interaction. If a cat runs she will likely chase it. So as you can see she is a funny, sassy, fun loving girl. If your looking for a fun excitable girl, she is for you. A Tail of 4 Paws- please share her story and help find her a wonderful forever family❤️🐾🐶

Story
Jersey girl is a short stout with an outgoing personality. She is so funny. Loves kids and every person she meets. Needing a home with no dogs, she still is involved with pack walks and leash skill classes. Maintaining a good citizen, we believe she has had past trama so extended play with dogs gets her stressed and that is why we have required no dog home. Sadly that is why she sits in our facility so long. We really would love to see this amazing girl get the family she deserves.

Story
This girl was found at an auto shop, hence her name. She is very friendly and playful. She is around other dogs her age and does well. She likes to be in charge so she would do best in a home with calmer, submissive dogs. She will need puppy training as we aren’t sure if she has had any. She likes toys and loves to show them off to people! She is good around kids but is excitable so will need to learn how to be around little ones. She is learning how to be on a leash and does okay in a kennel. She’s just an active girl who needs an active family to keep her busy. She is just looking for fun times and a family to share them with her. She is being fostered in TN but we do transport using the most animal-friendly transport on the road. Rescue Riders Pet Transport. We transport every weekend alternating between the Northeast and the Midwest.
