Finneus – ADOPTED!!
ADOPTED!! This happy-go-lucky boy with the great attitude is named Finneus. His foster dad calls him “Finn” for short. Finneus is about a year old, maybe a bit younger. He is the perfect lap size, at about 10 pounds. Finn walks well on a leash, and loves to go for fun car rides. Finneus is having fun in his foster home with all the other dogs, and gets along well with all of them. He is good with older children and adults, and loves the human boy in his foster home, but he has not been tested with very young children yet. We are not sure how he would be with cats. His favorite pastime, now that he is safe from that shelter in North Arkansas, is to snuggle in the recliner with his foster dad and watch TV. He thinks sleeping in the big bed with his dad at night is the bomb, and is quick to burrow under the covers and snooze. Finn is not destructive in the house when left alone, and learned the doggie door the first day he arrived. A fenced back yard for this playful boy would be a huge plus, since he does like to chase a ball! (although he hasn’t learned to return it yet) Finneus is ready to find his new family, is it yours?

Josie – ADOPTED!!
ADOPTED!! This little girl is named Josie! She is 3 and a half pounds of puppy fun. Josie is approximately 8 or 9 weeks, and is very brave and self-confident. She plays with all the other dogs in her foster home, and loves visitors. However, she does not think that a little girl as cute as she is should be crated, and will let you know! As a result, little diva Josie sleeps wherever she wants to – usually in her foster mom’s bed. Josie is trying hard to be a good girl and use the piddle pads, or the grass when she is outside playing, but whoever adopts her will need to continue with her house training. She’s just a baby, after all! Josie was owner-surrendered as a rat terrier pup, but we suspect she is at least half chihuahua, due to her tiny size. However, this little girl is full of “rattitude!” Josie will need to be spayed and have her second set of shots before she can go to her new home. Her new family will need to follow through with her third set of shots if she is adopted before she is completely vaccinated. We estimate that she *could* go home about the first or second week in July, if her new family finds her by then. For adorable photos of this sweetie in her foster home, check her album:

Ruth – ADOPTED!!
ADOPTED!! We’d like to introduce ResQ’s Ruth. Ruth is a tan and white girl who was saved from a shelter in the nick of time. She is a bit shorter of leg, but not quite a Teddy Roosevelt Terrier. She is estimated to be two years old, or maybe a bit younger. We believe she has recently had puppies. Ruth’s foster parents report that she is very sweet, and loves to be held and loved on. She accepts kisses very well (she was tested!) She is great with other dogs, not aggressive at all, although she tries to show that she is a big girl. When her bluff is called, she knuckles under and never tried to boss the other dogs around again. We think she was just a nervous new dog in a well established dog pack. She is a little lover, and is great with people and young puppies. Ruth is just under 12 inches at the shoulder, making her a mini. She is full grown, so she won’t get any bigger. Ruth is spayed and is up to date on everything. She will make someone an amazing pet. Ruth is very healthy and will make a great addition to any home. She might prefer to be an only dog, that way she can have all the loving for herself, but she does play well with others. For more photos of Ruth in her foster home, check here:
Joe Bentley – ADOPTED!!
ADOPTED!! As you can see, Joe is a beautiful young man with a bent tail. Hence, the name “Bentley.” Joe is a small standard black and tan with white, and is a male. He is only a puppy at 5 to 6 months old, and has a little growing to do. He will not be a tiny boy, but he will not be huge either, maybe about 15 inches at the shoulder. Joe is neutered and up to date on vaccines, and is a VERY healthy young man. He is loving and sweet, and loves to be held like the big baby he is. He will use a doggy door and house breaking has begun. He is extremely good around other dogs and puppies, and very friendly with people. He just thrives on attention. Joe will make an amazing pet, and is ready to find his home. He needs nothing but a loving family who wants a beautiful young puppy to complete their family.

Jenny – ADOPTED!!
ADOPTED!! Meet Jenny! Her foster mom calls her “Jenny-O” and she seems to like it. She was surrendered along with her house mate, Cassie, when their owner could no longer care for them. Jenny is two years old and weighs just 11 pounds. She is quite social, once she gets used to new people. She is timid at first. Now she comes to both her foster parents for a little petting, and plays with the other young dogs in her foster home. Jenny is crate trained and was paper trained in the past, but she is doing extremely well with her house training. She has learned the doggie door and will go outside on her own. (unless it’s pouring down rain, and then she looks for the piddle pad) Jenny might be part chihuahua, and she does bark at loud noises. She is camera shy, but we will work on getting more photos of her in her foster home. She rides well in the car, and gets excited when she sees her harness and leash. Jenny has expressive ears, which go every which-way when she’s scoping out the backyard for squirrels. Jenny would do well in just about any home environment, but she hasn’t been tested with children under 6. We think she would do fine, because she has shown absolutely no aggression in her foster home. She would likely be okay with cats, and we can test her for that if needed to insure a good placement. We will add more photos to her album as we can:
