Read more about Paisley Moore
Paisley came into a pound in MS pregnant. All her puppies were weaned and adopted. Paisley was heartworm positive but she has been treated successfully and now she's ready to travel and find a family of her own. Paisley is crate trained, leash trained and appears to be potty trained. She loves puppies and gets along with other dogs. But if the other dog is too pushy she will put them in their place with a "leave me be" snarl. Paisley can be timid at first but warms up quickly and LOVES people and attention. She has been cat tested and is friendly.

Coco is a bit hesitant around new people but it only takes a treat or a few minutes, and then she warms up quickly and becomes a playful and affectionate companion who loves attention. She enjoys the company of other dogs and loves to explore her surroundings. Coco was taken from a hoarding situation in KY but it hasn't dimmed her sweet demeanor. She is pregnant and due near the end of October, so would be available for adoption after her puppies are weaned - just after Christmas.
If you're looking for a loyal and endearing companion who will bring joy to your life, Coco is the one for you!

Meet Petey. This very good boy came to us as an owner surrender because his owner experienced serious health issues, and he's relaxing in his foster home while he waits to be discovered by a second chance family.
Read more about Petey Clark
Petey is 12 years old, a rat terrier mix, and he's had the benefit of great care and socialization for his entire life. He's gentle, well mannered, great with other dogs, and he meets people well. Petey loves car rides, naps, treats, and getting affection, and he settles in nicely to new routines. He's pretty quiet and sedate most of the time, but there are two things to get him going – one is food! Petey has a hearty appetite and jumps around like a puppy when he knows he's going to get a treat or a meal. He's also crazy about balls! He loves to play with any type of ball and loves to play fetch, but he has not mastered the "bringing the ball back" concept but he will play all day with a ball.
He's a little hard of hearing, but otherwise very healthy for a dog his age! He's also neutered and entirely up-to-date with vaccinations and vet care. We're told that he's not a fan of cats and we're looking for a cat free home for him. He would also probably be happiest as an only pet because that's what he's used to. He's very submissive with other dogs, but does seem intimidated by the other dogs in his foster home even though they're much smaller than him. He doesn't cause any trouble or have any aggression, but it does seem that other dogs make him nervous, especially when they play together.
Petey is looking for a quiet home where he can relax and enjoy his golden years, and he's going to be a wonderful companion for someone who loves older dogs as much as we do.

Meet Knight. This senior boy has had the benefit of lots of love for his entire life but unfortunately, the family he was raised with had some changes and one of the resident dogs became highly aggressive to him. His former owner made the heartbreaking decision to surrender him to rescue for his own safety, and we've brought him into foster care. He is a Boston/Pekingese mix, and an absolute, sweetheart! Knight is very well socialized and meets people well, he's great with other dogs, he is loving, affectionate and a really nice dog. We've gotten him to the vet to get him up-to-date on shots and have scheduled his neuter, and he's looking for a safe and loving retirement home.

We are working with her, but it's a slow process to instill trust. The good news is she is great with other dogs, and will very nicely take treats from your hand.

Meet Cookie
Cookie is a sweet, lively 11 lb. terrier mix with a big personality. Her reported age is
4 years old
, although the veterinarian estimates she is likely closer to
7 years old
. She is affectionate, playful, energetic, and
very well housebroken
with regular potty trips outside. She sleeps in her dog bed or with her person if allowed.
Read more about Cookie Hadley
Cookie gets along with other dogs, but she is high energy and can play intensely, so she should be closely monitored with dogs significantly smaller than she is. She also has a
high prey drive
and is not suitable for a home with cats, rabbits, or other small animals that roam freely. Contained pets such as reptiles and securely caged birds are fine.
On her first day in foster care, Cookie experienced a seizure. There were several unusual circumstances that may have contributed. She had just experienced a stressful transport and major transition, it was an extremely hot day, and dehydration or overheating may have played a role. Immediately beforehand, she slipped on the stairs and was caught before falling, so
she did not hit her head
, but the sudden scare and physical stress preceded the episode. The seizure involved thrashing, paddling and drooling. She recovered well, was back to her normal self within about 20 minutes, and has had
no additional episodes or concerning symptoms
since. Because her previous medical history is largely unknown, we can’t know whether this was an isolated situational event or something that could recur, and her adopter should be comfortable monitoring her and pursuing veterinary care if needed.
Cookie isn’t recommended for very young children simply because her enthusiasm includes jumping up, and she could accidentally scratch or knock over a small child. She can also be a barker when left alone, so an apartment or other home with shared walls may not be ideal.
Cookie doesn’t need a perfect history to be a wonderful dog. She needs the
right home
: one that appreciates her energy and affection, understands the things we’ll never know about her past, and is prepared to give her the happy, secure future she deserves.

Located: New England
Age: approx 7-9 years old
Weight: 11 lbs.
Mark Anthony and his siblings were rescued from a breeder, where they spent years living in crates and never had the opportunity to experience the love, comfort, and security of a real family. Because of his difficult past, Mark Anthony is still learning what it means to feel safe and loved—but the progress he has made in such a short amount of time has been truly incredible. Mark would do best in a home as an only dog or with another submissive. He is exhibiting some resource guarding. No young children.
Read more about Mark Anthony Wright
He is working on leash walking and housetraining. He will sometimes use pee pads, but accidents should be expected as he continues to learn this new skill.
He can still be very timid and is considered a flight risk until you get to know each other. He should be kept securely on a leash or in a safely fenced yard.
More than anything,
Mark Anthony loves the simple comforts he is discovering for the first time.
He enjoys relaxing in his bed, playing with toys and, when he feels comfortable, snuggling up beside his person on the couch. Watching him slowly learn to enjoy these little moments is incredibly rewarding.
He has recently been diagnosed with hypothyroid and will need a small dose of an inexpensive medication daily for the rest of his life.
Mark Anthony also has skin allergies and needs either regular meds or shots to keep his licking and itching at bay.
Mark Anthony needs a patient, compassionate, and understanding home willing to let him progress at his own pace.
He has already come so far in such a short time, and we can only imagine how much more he will blossom once he knows he is home.
With time, patience, consistency, and lots of love, Mark Anthony has the potential to discover just how wonderful life as a cherished family member can be.

Scooby does resource guard his bones, so mealtime and special treats are best managed appropriately. He and Pepper have always been the only dogs in their home and would love to remain the center of someone's world. However, they could happily live with another respectful, easygoing dog that understands Scooby's boundaries and won't interfere with his prized bones.

Adopting a dog in Fall River
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
