1. Gandhi
Meet the Peaceful Pack — Rosa’s Litter of Love (with a Few Special Additions!)Sweet Rosa, a beautiful husky mix, gave birth to 8 adorable puppies—and then opened her heart even wider to welcome two bonus babies: Susan and Bone, a lovable pair of beagle mixes. Now this blended bunch is known as the Peaceful Pack—a crew full of charm, wiggles, and puppy love.Rosa’s original 8 are believed to be husky/lab mixes, and every single one of them is full of personality. They’re playful, affectionate, and the perfect mix of joyful chaos and irresistible cuteness.While a puppy may not bring peace in the traditional sense, they will bring laughter, cuddles, and a whole lot of heart.They’ll be joining us at the Compass Rose Event on May 10th, but we highly recommend applying before then—this pack won’t be available for long! Puppies can go home to approved adopters starting May 18th (at 8 weeks old).

I-Hop is an adorable pup full joy and love - and he is waiting to spend forever with you! He absolutely adores being held and snuggled up close.

He’s a big fan of stuffed animals and enjoys a good tug-of-war.Despite his small size, this guy is incredibly brave and doesn’t let his “chicken wing” leg hold him back! He’s even learned how to climb stairs that are bigger than he is!He still has that adorably wonderful puppy breath. Like any puppy, he is still learning that puppy teeth are for toys only, but he’s easily redirected.

He is working on house-training and what it means to potty outside, but he’s been using pads in his playpen consistently. He’s very food-motivated, which makes training a breeze!I-Hope is likely to grow into a small to medium-sized dog.If you’re looking for a sweet and unique, happy-go-lucky pup who’s ready to be your car co-pilot and sure to bring a lot of joy to your life - apply to meet I-Hop.

10. Amelia
Meet Amelia, One of Our Georgia Girls!Amelia is approximately 6 months old, weighs around 20 pounds, and is an American Pit Bull Terrier/Bulldog mix. She is one of our very special Georgia girls, and she's looking for a forever home alongside her sister and best friend, Bessie!If there's one thing you should know about Amelia, it's that this girl is DETERMINED! Amelia was born with significant physical abnormalities that affect her mobility, but she doesn't let that stop her from trying to get where she wants to go. She moves by pushing with her back legs and scooting her front half along the floor.
Read more about Amelia
Her front legs are splayed outward and provide very little support. She's not going to win any races, but she certainly gets an A for effort!Amelia is the more adventurous of the two sisters. She loves toys, enjoys playing tug-of-war with her people, and absolutely adores snuggling. At the end of the day, there's nothing better than being curled up on the couch with someone who loves her.A Little About Her Special NeedsAmelia and Bessie were born with significant mobility challenges. X-rays revealed abnormalities in the alignment of their skulls and spines that affect their ability to move normally. Their veterinarians cannot predict whether these abnormalities will affect their lifespans or lead to complications in the future.What we do know is that Amelia is currently comfortable, happy, and not experiencing pain. Her condition has remained stable while she's been in our care.Amelia can potty on her own and will scoot away afterward, but she cannot get to a pee pad independently, so she'll need help staying clean. She sometimes wears diapers. She eats kibble softened with water to make mealtimes easier.Most of her day is spent relaxing in a comfortable bed, playing with her toys, enjoying attention, and keeping her sister company. She needs help being carried or transported for longer distances. We're also exploring the possibility of a custom wheelchair to give her additional mobility.Amelia does well with other dogs and would likely enjoy a home with gentle, respectful children. She doesn't need a fenced yard or a particular type of home, just a safe environment, someone willing to accommodate her mobility needs, and plenty of love.Two Sisters, One Forever HomeAmelia and Bessie have been together their entire lives, and their bond is incredibly important. Because of their limited mobility, they provide companionship and comfort for each other throughout the day. They must be adopted together.PIPs Special Care AdoptionAmelia and Bessie are being offered through our PIPs Special Care Adoption program.There is no adoption fee for the girls, and PIPs will remain a lifelong partner in their care.Their adopter will be responsible for everyday expenses, including food, supplies, preventatives, routine vaccinations, and wellness visits. PIPs will help cover major medical needs related to their disabilities, with the specific arrangements discussed and agreed upon before adoption.The girls are current on their vaccinations. They are not spayed because of veterinary concerns regarding anesthesia and surgery, and their future surgical care will need to be discussed individually.We don't know what the future holds for Amelia and Bessie. They may have years ahead of them, or their medical conditions may eventually create challenges we cannot predict. What we do know is that they deserve a family who will love them for however long that may be.Amelia doesn't need a perfect home. She needs a patient, loving family willing to embrace her differences and give her the best life possible.Ready to adopt? pipsrescue.org or have questions - email Nicole.k@pipsrescue.orgWatch Amelia in Action!Amelia's determination as she navigates a doorway:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFxiVWRqPi4Amelia and Bessie enjoying a snack and snuggle time:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaMjQYIqh2U

11. Bessie
Meet Bessie, One of Our Georgia Girls!Bessie is approximately 6 months old, weighs around 20 pounds, and is an American Pit Bull Terrier/Bulldog mix. She's one half of our adorable Georgia girls duo, and she's looking for a forever family who will welcome both her and her sister, Amelia.Bessie is our sweet, snuggly girl who knows exactly how to let you know when she needs something! While Amelia is a little more adventurous, Bessie is perfectly content spending her days relaxing in her cozy bed, keeping her sister company, and soaking up affection from her people.Bessie absolutely loves to snuggle.
Read more about Bessie
She's happiest when she's comfortable, close to someone she loves, and getting plenty of attention.A Little About Her Special NeedsBessie was born with significant physical abnormalities that affect her mobility. Like her sister Amelia, her front legs are splayed outward and provide very little support. X-rays also revealed abnormalities in the alignment of her skull and spine.Bessie has more limited mobility than Amelia. She can push with her back legs and scoot herself along, but she moves slowly and generally needs help getting from place to place.Despite these challenges, Bessie is a happy, comfortable puppy who is not experiencing pain. Her condition has remained stable, although her veterinarians cannot predict whether her physical abnormalities will affect her lifespan or cause complications later in life.Bessie can potty on her own but cannot get to a pee pad independently, so she needs help staying clean. She's good at letting her people know when she needs assistance and will whine to get their attention. She eats dehydrated food prepared to make mealtimes easier.Bessie also has some sensitivity to certain sounds, particularly when the television or music first comes on or when other dogs become noisy. We've discovered that a little pair of earmuffs helps her settle, and once she adjusts to the background noise, she's usually just fine.Most of Bessie's day is spent relaxing with Amelia, enjoying affection, and snuggling with her people. She does well with other dogs and would likely be comfortable around gentle, respectful children.She doesn't require a fenced yard or a particular home layout, but she does need a safe environment, help with her mobility and hygiene, and someone who understands that her daily routine looks a little different from that of most dogs.Two Sisters, One Forever HomeBessie and Amelia absolutely adore each other. Because their mobility is so limited, having each other nearby provides companionship and comfort throughout the day. These girls have been together since birth, and we are committed to keeping them together.They must be adopted as a pair.PIPs Special Care AdoptionBessie and Amelia are being offered through our PIPs Special Care Adoption program.There is no adoption fee, and PIPs will remain a lifelong partner in their care.Their adopter will be responsible for everyday expenses, including food, supplies, preventatives, routine vaccinations, and wellness visits.

They are not spayed because of veterinary concerns regarding anesthesia and surgery, and their future surgical care will need to be discussed individually.We cannot predict what the future holds for Bessie and Amelia. Their medical conditions may affect their lifespans, or they may surprise us all. Right now, they're happy puppies who enjoy life, love their people, and deserve the opportunity to be part of a family.Bessie isn't looking for someone to feel sorry for her. She's looking for someone who will love her, accommodate her needs, and appreciate all the wonderful things that make her special.And, of course, someone who has room in their heart for her sister, too!Ready to adopt? pipsrescue.org or have quesitons, email Nicole.k@pipsrescue.or

Meet the Halloween Litter: A Little Spooky, A Whole Lot Sweet!
Our story started with a not-so-magical beginning: we were dumped at just a few weeks old. Thankfully, a kind Good Samaritan came to our rescue, and now our next big adventure is finding forever families!
At just 7 weeks old, we're tiny bundles of puppy breath, wiggly tails, and endless potential. Our breed is still a mystery, but our best guess is a mix of Hound and Anatolian Shepherd. In other words, we might be growing into some BIG dogs with big hearts to match!

Hello, world!
We were rescued by Pawfect Match along with our mama, Carly, and now we’re ready to find forever homes of our very own!
We’re looking forward to filling your life with adventures, puppy kisses, cuddles, and plenty of snuggles. We may be little now, but we have BIG personalities and so much love to give!
Our mama, Carly, is a medium-sized white Husky mix, so we’re expecting to grow into some pretty adorable pups with plenty of personality.
The best part of our story is just beginning, and we can’t wait to meet our forever families!**************

A good samaritan learned about me living outside tied up by a chain and rescued me from those conditions. He knew he would not be able to keep me but also knew he couldn't leave me where I was. He took me to the vet, got me meds for my ear infection and got me all cleaned up. I'm now in a foster home with Pawfect Match and will learn how to be a puppy. I have a sweet, calm demeanor and have done well with dogs, kids and people although I'm a little shy at the moment.
I will need a home with a yard as I will be a big boy as I grow older. I will shed, require brushing and wil need someone who understands my breed.

Adopting a puppy in Burlington
Puppies usually go to their new homes from about eight weeks old, once they're weaned and have had their first vaccinations. Most rescues spay or neuter them before adoption, or include it in the fee.
Ask the rescue how big the puppy is expected to grow and which breeds they think are in the mix, so you can plan for the dog they'll become.
Puppies need a lot of your time: house-training, a few minutes of training every day, several small meals, and someone home often enough to let them out. A puppy class is a good way to start.
