8. Kemba
5 Years 9 Months · Female · Rottweiler / Mixed




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.
Read more about Kemba
She's always been great with kids, from little ones to teenagers, and gets along really well with other animals. She doesn't have any issues with resource guarding, but she definitely likes being the center of attention! If another animal is getting some love, she'll sometimes try to get your attention back on her.

9. Jeremy
Adult (2 years) · Male · Pit Bull Terrier





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.

Fall is in the air, and Felix is ready to be your ultimate pumpkin-spice sidekick! This handsome 3-year-old Rottie made the road trip up from Georgia and is fully prepared to leap into your pile of leaves (and your heart). His foster parent reports that he is a certified "good boy" and an absolute doll who just wants to cuddle. [1]
Felix is already fully house-trained and a total pro in his crate. Now, let’s talk about his true passion: snacks. Felix is insanely food-motivated. He will do absolutely anything for a treat—which means you can easily train him to do tricks, or just use biscuits to negotiate his help pulling you down the street (he's a strong boy who likes to work those leash muscles!).{C}
Friends and Family:
When it comes to other dogs, Felix is a total lady's man! He absolutely loves his canine girlfriends and prefers his four-legged companions to be female. He has also met some human kids and was wonderful and gentle with them. However, if your home includes a feline friend, Felix is going to have to pass. He thinks cats are a little too exciting, so a cat-free castle is a must.
If you are looking for a big, goofy cuddle bug to keep you warm this autumn, Felix is your guy!

What do we love about Yogi? Besides his good looks and sweet personality, we love that he loves everyone.

Young (2 years 3 months) · Male · Rottweiler



Two year old King joined us after his owner died. Accompanied by his housemate, Queen, they entered an urban NY shelter and were confused.

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).

24. Ruthie
Adult (4 years 3 months) · Female · Rottweiler





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.
Read more about Ruthie
When it comes to my future workplace culture, I do have a few strict requirements for my new home. I am looking for a cat-free environment, as feline coworkers are definitely not a good fit for me. I can potentially share my space with other dogs, but you should know that my play style leans a bit rough-and-tumble, so a thorough meet-and-greet will be required. Ultimately, I am just a compact package of pure love looking for a dedicated team to spoil me with head scratches and endless games of fetch with my favorite balls. Children 8 and older please! If you think your resume matches my needs, let's schedule an interview! Apply here: 4theloveofdog.org

26. Vespa
Adult (6 years 2 months) · Female · American Pit Bull Terrier / Bull Terrier





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.
Read more about Vespa
This princess knows her commands, loves a good snuggle, and is perfectly content entertaining herself with nylon bones and tasty treats. She rarely barks, though she does occasionally sing the song of her people if dinner preparation is taking longer than acceptable royal standards.
Vespa walks beautifully on leash, loves car rides, and is happiest when she’s close to her humans. She thrives with structure, exercise, and a calm environment where she can soak up love and attention like the queen she was born to be.
Now, every royal has boundaries. Vespa prefers to rule her castle as the only dog and, due to her jealous nature, would do best in a home without children. In return, she promises fierce loyalty, endless companionship, and enthusiastic greetings every time you walk through the door — personal space not guaranteed.
If you’re looking for a devoted sidekick with beauty, personality, and just the right amount of diva energy, Princess Vespa may be your perfect match.
