1. Zorro
Hi. My name is Zorro and I am a handsome German Shepherd mix. I was found abandoned in a culvert in the country with my brother, Batman. We were being fed by the Good Samaritans who found us. We got along with all of their children and animals but we were too much for them to care for in addition to their dogs, cats, and horses. Straydog came to our rescue and we are now getting our puppy vaccinations. I am very playful and like to swim and play fetch. I never meet a stranger and would love to find my forever home. Come meet me at Straydog.

4. Messi
Messi was abandoned at the vet when he was diagnosed with Addison's Disease. Straydog rescued him and believe that he deserves a chance for a good life just like his name sake, the famous Argentine soccer player, Lionel Messi. His disease is easily controlled with a daily steroid pill. He can live a long and happy life.
He is a typical loving little puppy. He loves to play with his toys, is affectionate, loving, and like to sit in your lap. He is leash trained and is in the process of getting all of his puppy vaccinations and will be neutered and microchipped soon.
Messi is waiting for you to come and meet him. He will melt your heart.

She is going through heartworm treatment right now, but soon will be ready to find her fur-ever home. She loves children and adults and will make a wonderful companion for a family.

6. May
Hi, my name is May. I was rescued with my puppies by a nice sameritian who found homes for all of them but sadly couldn't keep me so Straydog came to my rescue. I had a bad leg and needed to get it amputated, so now I am a 3-legged happy ball of joy. That doesn't stop me from running around and giving all the love I have. I am going through heartworm treatment right now, but will soon be clear to go to my fur-ever home. If you would like to meet me, contact Straydog.org.

10. Roxy
Meet this precious girl ROXY!! At 9 years young, she has so much love left to give. She’s a gentle, sweet soul who is a little afraid of the big world around her. In fact, she’s so timid that even her own shadow can be a little scary!
But here’s the beautiful thing about her… with a little patience, kindness, and love, she’s beginning to blossom!
She has been in foster care for about three weeks, and every day she’s showing a little more of her personality. She’s even starting to come out of her shell and initiate play with my dogs! Watching her confidence grow has been such a joy.
✨ A few things to love about her:
Potty trained
Crate trained
Read more about Roxy
Dog friendly
Cat friendly
Very sweet and gentle
Starting to enjoy playtime with other dogs
She will need a patient, loving home that understands she may take a little time to feel comfortable. She isn’t the dog who will run up and greet everyone right away. She’s the girl who needs someone to earn her trust, give her reassurance, and let her blossom at her own pace.
But imagine being the person who finally shows her that she’s safe, loved, and HOME. ❤️
Roxy just needs someone willing to give her that chance.
Could you be her happily ever after?
Application available at https://www.pawsofloverescue.com/adoption-application. Adoption fee of $295 includes neuter/spay, microchip, heartworm testing, deworming, vaccinations, and other necessary procedures. Applications without a phone number will not be processed.

12. Pongo
Meet Pongo! This handsome, 52-pound pit bull mix is about a year and a half old and has two favorite things: playtime and his people. He’s a sweet, friendly boy with plenty of playful energy who would do wonderfully in a home with another dog who enjoys a good romp.
When he’s ready for a break, Pongo is happy to trade playtime for some quality couch time with you. He loves being around his people and would make a wonderful companion for someone who enjoys a mix of activity and lounging.
Read more about Pongo
He has been around cats, but his enthusiasm for making friends means he sometimes wants to include them in playtime, too. Any feline housemates would need thoughtful introductions and their own space.
Pongo is neutered and up to date on all vaccines. If your dog is looking for a playful buddy and you’re looking for a loving new family member, Pongo just might be your guy!

19. Hayes
HI, I’M HAYES. I’M JUST LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO GIVE AN OLD MAN A HOME.
I’m around 9–10 years old, and life hasn’t exactly been easy. I’m skinny, I only have one eye, and I’m spending my days in a kennel. But despite everything, I’m still one of the sweetest, gentlest old guys you could ever meet. ❤️
I’m calm, quiet & incredibly unbothered
I like to take life at a slow, easy pace
I’m very friendly with everyone I meet
I’m potty trained!
I’m gentle, sweet & easygoing
I’d love to be your one-and-only — a quiet home where I can soak up all the love and attention
Read more about Hayes
I’m not asking for much. I don’t need a busy life or endless adventures. Honestly, I’d be pretty happy with a soft bed, some good meals, a little love, and someone who wants me around.
I just want a place where I can feel safe and loved for whatever golden years I have left.
Please don’t let me spend the rest of my life in a kennel. I’ve waited long enough for someone to choose me.
❤️ Could you be my person?

Adopting a dog in Rosser
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.
