COURTESY POST

THIS GUY

Romeo is the perfect namesake for this lover boy. He was found as a stray. Romeo reaches out of his kennel when you walk by. He is STARVING for affection. He runs all his energy off and then rolls over in your lap. Dog social - but no kitties please.

Romeo is with one of our rescue partners in GA - transportation is available for an approved family. He will be transported to the adopter directly. His foster mom is glad to speak with a perspective family... Apply 4theloveofdog.org

Kemba was placed by the rescue in 2020. The adopters have requested our help in rehoming her.

Kemba really is a great dog with so much love to give. She's incredibly affectionate and loves being around people. Whether it's playing fetch, going for walks, or just curling up next to you on the couch, she's happiest when she's spending time with someone. One of the things we've always loved about her is how easily she adjusts to whatever we're doing. She can play ball for hours if you're up for it, but she's just as happy lounging on the couch all afternoon. She sleeps well at night, usually on the living room couch.

Jeremy is a 2-year-old pit bull who is, quite simply, an absolute love. This sweet, affectionate boy adores people and gets along great with other dogs. He loves to play and have fun, but he also settles down beautifully when playtime is over, making him the perfect mix of playful pup and cuddle buddy.
Jeremy would do well with children, too! Because he can be an enthusiastic guy, we recommend kids who are sturdy on their feet and ready for all that Jeremy love.
Bonus: Jeremy is crate trained!
This happy, social, loving boy is ready to trade rescue life for a family of his very own.

Gunner is located in Eastern PA.

Sweet Daisy is a survivor! She survived being shot and has shrapnel permanently imbedded in her nasal cavity. It doesn't bother her and there is nothing medically needed, however it does make her a VERY loud breather and snorer (listen to video). The only considerations for her are the same as a brachycephalic dog (smushed faces). Can over heat easir and need to watch her in heat and with over exercizing. She is very sweet, likes kids, cats, chicken, livestock and dogs if they are not rowdy. She gets annoyed with rowdy dogs but does not fight, sh's a lover not a fighter. She has also survived heartworm treatment like a champ! Daisy has bee in a rescue for over a year and is now ready for her forever home and family of her own.

Meet Dan! He spent two weeks in foster care before he got to travel to New England. This 5 yr rottie boy is a sweet man who is ready for his home

Dan Dan is a very majestic dog. He's sweet, affectionate, and loyal.

He will attach to his family quickly and be protective.

He is a very good house guest, both house-trained and crate-trained, with zero accidents for the 11 days I had him. I was able to leave him out of his crate during the day and overnight with no problems at all.

Hi! My name is Macy. I'm in the market for a new family, so I thought I would give you a rundown of what my daily schedule is. First, I like to take a quick 3 hour nap. Then, I take a quick 1 hour nap to recover from my previous nap. After that, I have a little snackie and then take ANOTHER nap .......just kidding, I hate naps! I love 3 things in life: food, exercise, and people! Sometimes I like people so much that I jump on them. My foster humans think it would be best if I went to a home with teenagers and above, at least until I can learn to contain my excitement! I am crate trained, housebroken and ready to go off onto my next adventure. Maybe that could be with you? If you're interested in being my new humans, please submit an application on our website!

Howdy from Texas—or should I say, pass the pumpkin spice!

At just
2 years old

Marley is a beautiful 5-year-old Golden Retriever/Australian Shepherd mix who is just the perfect size—not too big and not too small. She is housebroken, up to date on her vaccinations, and ready to find a family who will love her for exactly who she is. Marley is a special girl who needs a little time to feel comfortable around new people. She is wary of strangers and will bark when someone enters the home, so her ideal family will understand that she needs patience, consistency, and time to warm up. Once Marley bonds with her people, though, she is a loving and devoted companion. ❤️

What do we love about Yogi? Besides his good looks and sweet personality, we love that he loves everyone. This affectionate guy is compact and easy to handle, with just a tiny bit of work needed on leash manners. Yogi is social with other dogs, and the one time we saw him with cats... he wanted to get away from them. Yogi will be best suited for a home with sturdy kids as every now & again he channels his inner puppy. Yogi is a doll. Quiet in his crate and seemingly house trained. Apply for him today

Two year old King joined us after his owner died. Accompanied by his housemate, Queen, they entered an urban NY shelter and were confused. King is a handsome, adaptable guy whose future is up to his next family. He has lived with older school aged kids, another dog, and a family. He is house trained, rides well in the back of an SUV and knows basic commands. While King has met feline members of society in our presence, they were predatory and he wanted nothing to do with them (likewise, his handler was intimidated). King is in downstate NY and can be adopted with or without his housemate Queen. Apply today 4theloveofdog.org

Hi! Thanks for stopping by. Grab a seat, and let’s see if your hands are free—because if they are, they should probably be petting me. My name is Ruthie, and I’m a four-year-old compact Rottweiler. I’m currently conducting interviews for the position of my forever family, and I think you might just have what it takes. I am a certified, professional love bug, and I will officially require both of your hands to be on me at all times. I am a very good girl who is already house-broken and crate-trained. I know my name, boast excellent recall, and am already fluent in basic commands like sit, paw, off, and down. I am currently working hard on mastering "stay," and I do pretty well on a leash, though we can keep practicing together.

This beautiful girl was rescued alongside her brother from a rural shelter where both were scheduled to be euthanized the next morning. Despite her rough start, she has shown nothing but resilience, intelligence, and heart.

She is the more confident sibling—a natural leader with a steady, grounded presence. Her early influence helped her brother learn respectful dog manners, and she continues to carry herself with a calm, self-assured energy.

She is:

Beloved Princess Vespa is searching for a new kingdom — preferably one with loving, active humans who understand that royalty deserves both affection and prompt meal service.

She is about 6 years old and is a gorgeous white American Bulldog mix with one striking blue eye that stops people in their tracks. Seriously, she gets compliments everywhere she goes and handles the attention like the celebrity she believes she is.

Hello there! I know what you're thinking: you see my bowtie and think 'Wow, this dog is very important. He must have a very serious occupation.' And you would be right. As of today, I am no longer Archie the dog. I am now Archibald, Attorney at Paw. I specialize in representing other dogs when they are the victims of terrible crimes, like humans not sharing their snacks, or being forced to take a baths, or not getting pup cups regularly. I take my new job very seriously. I may be small at 28 pounds, but my sense of justice is mighty! Now onto my qualifications. Did I go to law school? No. Did I pass the bar exam? Also no.
