On a day like today, the last thing you expect is someone dumping 3 puppies and a beautiful Shepherd.

If you are interested in the young Shep girl, let us know. Located in TX. We will fully vet her, and she'll travel to NJ on January 17th.
The Shepherd is Urgent!! Only if she'll have a home she'll have a foster.
She is a little insecure at the moment, but allows her to pet her
We will add info as we learn more about her, so come back if you are interested in giving her a home.

A Few Updates on Cortado

#1 Cortado didn't like his name and asked his foster to have it changed to Arlo. Request approved!!

#2 To the adopters who are worried if Arlo is dog friendly. Picture says a thousand words. He's been fostered with a family who has a few dogs. Check the picture.

#3 Those who wonder if Texas dogs love snow. Again, picture..

#4 Since arriving in our area on the 13th he almost fully house broken, sleeps all night in his crate, learned few basic commands, working on leash walk.
He loves playing with his doggie friends, love being outside. Love treats so it makes easy to train
He shy with new people, but the treats help to break the ice. Still, working on socializing.

Arlo is a smart boy, friendly, playful, about 5 months, fully vaccinated, microchipped, needs a home

You can get approved and have a meet with Arlo

We've been approved, but while we were completing the paperwork to become first-time shelter partners, another rescue organization pulled this sweet boy. And we are glad he is safe. That's all that matters!!
Thank you Tiffany Ann Kauffeld and hubby for offering to foster and to help. Greatly appreciated. ❤️

📣More than URGENT!!📣
Looking for a foster. He only has few days left to try to save him from being euthanized. Only one year old 😥

It will be a process just to get approval and then find transport to NJ and a vet that we can afford the surgery and time to heal.
If you can commit it needs to be now. Every second can change his chances.

Must have rescue by 12/26/25 5 pm!! NC, Randolph county “potato” corgi needs eye removed

Potato was brought to us as a stray by a local agency, arriving with a severe injury to his right eye that caused it to protrude from the socket. He was immediately sent to our local vet, where he received an exam and was prescribed Terramycin eye ointment, Clindamycin, and Carprofen to manage infection and pain. Unfortunately, the veterinarian confirmed that Potato needs surgery to remove the damaged eye. Despite everything he’s been through, Potato is incredibly sweet and loving. He can be a little shy at first, but once he warms up, he’s a cuddle bug who adores being carried and gets along wonderfully with other dogs. He truly just wants to feel safe and loved. Our shelter is currently full, and we’re asking for your help to ensure Potato gets the surgery and the fresh start he deserves. Please help Potato get the care he needs our shelter is currently full.

The following animals needs rescue:

Potato #51629

Breed- Corgi

Age- Estimated 1 year old

Weight-16.2lbs

Gender- Male

Has had the following vaccines:

Ash's Story

Introducing sweet Ash. This young momma dog gave birth to eight puppies underneath a trailer that was owned by an elderly woman. One of our transport partners asked us to help out in getting Ash and her puppies adopted and into safe, happy homes. Ash is described as being an absolute sweetheart of a girl. She appears to be young (estimated around a year old), and weighs 47 pounds so she is on the smaller side. If adopted, Ash will be brought to the NJ area on our next transport.

- Personality: friendly, affectionate, very sweet
- Good with: people of all ages (including kids), and dogs. Has not been cat tested yet.
- Estimated date of birth: April 2024
- Weight: 47 pounds
- Medical: Fully vetted, up to date on vaccinations, spayed, microchipped
- Location: Ash is currently located with a foster in Texas, but if adopted, will come to the NJ area on our next transport.

Olive's the short Story🐾

- Personality: friendly, resilient, happy, affectionate, funny,
- Good with: people of all ages (including kids), and dogs. Has not been cat tested yet.
- Training: unknown
- Estimated age: 2-3 years
-Black Lab
- Weight: approx. 50 pounds
- Medical: vetted, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped
- Location: Currently located with a foster in Texas, but if adopted, will come to the NJ area on our next transport.

Oliver's the Full Story🐾🐾

Sweet Olive was first spotted, heavily pregnant, wandering the streets of Texas. The people who reported seeing her said she looked like she was going to give birth any day. One of our rescue partners went out to find her, and when she brought her home, Olive gave birth that same day to 13 stillborn puppies. When she was taken to the vet, she was found to be not only malnourished but also suffering from a tick-borne disease and an infection. Poor girl, it's no wonder her puppies didn't survive.

But Olive's story has a happy twist - she is now completely recovered from both the infection and the tick-borne disease, and she has gained weight, so she is a happy, healthy pup these days. Now Olive just needs to find her forever home, which will complete her happy ending. She is a very sweet and resilient girl who loves kids and gets along great with other dogs. Please be the one to apply to give this sweet girl her well-deserved dream home and family.

Courtesy post!! Please share.

Noxie needs a home as soon as possible. The reason for rehoming her is to keep her safe.

The best home will be as a solo pet, though she has lived with a cat just fine.
She has shown some reactivity on a walk, but not much anymore.

She is house-trained, but she has a small amount of separation anxiety that we’re working on, so a retired person, a couple, or a someone who works from home, might be ideal for her.

Training will be provided free of charge to the adopter by a highly regarded trainer.

If interested, please call 917-617-4988.

Coco's Story

Coco is a 3.5-year-old husky/lab or husky/shepherd mix.

She had a family since she was only a puppy of a few months, and after 3 years, she was returned because of family issues that had nothing to do with her

- Has the softest, most beautiful fur, and she'll let you pet her forever if you wish.
- Is house trained,
- Doesn't like the crate and doesn't need it
- Will be perfect on the leash (with a bit more training)
- Loves playing with other dogs
- Enjoys playing with toys and loves to run after balls or play tag war
- Knows commands
- Sleeps all night on her bed
- Is very affectionate and will quickly attach to you
- Is a perfect 55-pound lap dog - lol
- Is good in the car
- Doesn't love to be left alone at home, but is good if with another dog (submissive), or if given a good treat before you leave, she will calm down
- We feel she prefers a large and somewhat submissive dog at home
- Will bark at strangers but will listen and calm down quickly
- Waits for a signal to go outside
- Is fully vetted, spayed, and up to date on her vaccinations
- She loves the outdoor walks
-lives with cats. She barks at them, interested in them, but not hurting.

For more videos of Coco, check out her YouTube playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmB5-2QLmiJMhOycBDZZCcNLgGHhmQrqE

- Current location: with a foster in NJ. Once you are approved to adopt, she is available for a meet and greet

What a day. So cold and so warm inside our hearts 💕
17 dogs arrived, a fantastic group: bonded and going home together, a deaf boy going home to his family who already loves him, and a tiny girl who was used by a breeder went home to her mom, who had been living there for the last 3 months. And all the other beautiful souls who have been dumped, and we picked up with the help of our wonderful people in TX, who gave them the love and care they needed, so that they could arrive here today.

Thank you, everyone.
The list is long, the fosters in TX , the transporters, our volunteers. And Jane who's on the video. Oh, and the adopters 😅

Truffle Adopted ❤️ Pudding and Donuts still looking for a home.

And again, people apply not for one but for two puppies
And after we've completed the entire process, after we've ensured they want not one but two, we receive that message that you just can't understand where these people were until now. We're sorry, we can't adopt at this time. Financial, work, health, moving out of the country, sick parents in far-off states - did I forget something? I probably did..

The last casualties are Truffle and Dunuts.
Two handsome boys, funny, loves to play especially with each other, good with the toddler in the house, loving to 0lay in the water, will be fully vaccinated by January transport, microchipped.
Currently fostered in Texas.
