Roadie – ADOPTED!

Posted Oct 30, 2016 at 1:52 pm in Latest News

roadieADOPTED!!  Roadie is a big dog in a little body.  This little chocolate tri-color guy weighs in at just 8 lbs and is about 6 years old.  Roadie came to us after being hit by a car and is still healing from his injuries.  He is doing great and walks and runs like any other dog.  You’d have to look really close to tell that he was ever injured.  Roadie has a lot of spunk.  He plays with the other dogs in his foster home and loves to snuggle up with his foster family on the couch.  Roadie is crate-trained and housebroken, and walks nicely on a leash.  When he’s been around cats and other small animals, he’s pretty much ignored them.  He’s fine with children 8 and older, but we haven’t had him around younger children.  Roadie is not quite ready to go home, but he will be soon.  With any luck, he hopes to have a family of his own for the holidays.

Jasmine (Jazz) – ADOPTED!!

jazz2ADOPTED!!  Jasmine (Jazz) is being fostered in Lebanon, CT.  She came to ResQ when sadly, her owner went into a nursing home.  She has quickly settled into her foster home and is a very well-behaved companion.  It’s easy to see she was very much loved in her former home.  She is a big girl at around 30 lbs and she looks like she may be mixed with Corgi.  She is 5 years old and is housebroken. Jazz loves to ride in the car, but her favorite thing is her daily walks!  She is such a good girl, and walks great on a leash.  She is not a fan of being crated, she’d much rather be out with her family.  But she will quietly sleep on the couch all night without any problems. She is great with the dogs and even the cats in her foster home. Not sure about younger children but would be fine with kids over eight. If you need a well-behaved girl who will fit seamlessly into your family, please give her a look!  And for more photos of this terrific girl, check her photo album:

Penny – ADOPTED!!

Posted Oct 25, 2016 at 4:16 pm in Happy Endings, Latest News

penny5ADOPTED!!  Have you heard of a lucky penny?  Well, this Penny is lucky.  After her owner died, the family dumped her at the shelter.  Rat Terrier ResQ stepped in to save this girl who was also heart worm positive.  Penny has completed her treatment and is ready to find her forever home.  Penny is 21 pounds, so she’s a sturdy girl.  She is about 3-5 years old with pearly whites.   She is more a tomboy that a girly-girl as is evidenced when she comes in hot, skidding across the deck heading for the house.  She is housebroken, but does not bark to go out.  She gets along well with her much smaller 10 pound foster brother, but can be a bit bossy with toys and treats.  She would do best as either an only dog or with a dog who is larger or very confident.  Penny sits or lies down waiting patiently at her food dish, in fact, she does this almost every time you go to the kitchen.  Penny likes to sit with you and give kisses.  She would make a great dog for just about any person or family.  Her larger size means children 8 or older might be best.  She is a master of collar escapes, so walking her with a harness is necessary. A fenced backyard would be a plus for this active girl.  For more photos of Penny in her foster home, check out her album here:

scooby4ADOPTED!!  Meet Scooby!  This sweet little guy ended up in a shelter due to divorce.  This tri-color Rat Terrier is about 7 years old and weighs about 15 lbs.  Scooby is very sweet and mellow.  He gets along with other dogs and children aged 8 and older. We haven’t had him around younger children or cats, but we can test him out with younger children or have him ”cat” scanned upon request. He walks nicely on a leash and is housebroken.  Scooby has a lot of life and love to give to the right family.  He would love to have a home and family of his own for the holidays.  Could you be the family for this snuggle bug?  For photos of this sweet boy, click on his album: 

Benny – ADOPTED!!

Posted Oct 15, 2016 at 1:16 pm in Latest News

benny6ADOPTED!!  Benny is a 1 year old, adorable, tri-color boy weighing in at just under 15 pounds.  He was found as a stray dog and no owners could be located or stepped forward to claim him.  Benny is a super playful little dog that gets along great with other dogs and children aged 8 and older.  We haven’t had him around younger children or cats, but we can test him out with younger children or have him ”cat” scanned upon request.  This little love bug walks nicely on a leash and is housebroken and crate trained.  He has quickly learned what “go to bed” means and will voluntarily go into his crate at night time and for meals.  He also has a favorite toy that he keeps in his crate so the other dogs don’t steal it from him.  Benny is looking for a family to call his own. Could you be the family for Benny?  For photos of Benny in his foster home, click on his album:  

Trixie – ADOPTED!!

Posted Oct 15, 2016 at 1:09 pm in Latest News

trixiectADOPTED!!  This long legged beauty is Trixie!  She is approximately 1 year old, 15 lbs, and has lots of energy.  She LOVES toys, playing and cuddling with her foster family.  She gets along with her fur foster brothers and sister.  Although, she does need to learn some manners when playing with them.  But, she is very submissive and will roll over to show her belly if she thinks they are mad at her.  She is not cat tested.  Based on her playful attitude, she would probably want to play, and therefore, chase them.  She likes to go for walks.  However, she is still working on her leash manners at this time.  She loves to run and would make someone a great running partner, or would do well at agility.  She is fast, jumps high, smart and willing to learn.  Trixie would do well in an active home, and a home with a fenced yard.  She needs room to stretch her beautiful long legs.  She would also do well with another young, playful dog.  She has not yet been around any children.  But, she is so friendly with all, she would probably love them.  Trixie is house trained and working on crate training.  For photos of this cute girl in her foster home, click here:

Katie Bug – ADOPTED!!

katie-bugADOPTED!!  Katie Bug came into rescue along with her housemate, Kelsey.  Kelsey has been adopted, and Katie Bug is still looking for her new home!  She is a 7 yr old rat terrier, and just about as sweet as they come.  She adores being held and cuddled, and is quite a vocal little girl when she “talks” to you about things.  When you speak to her, not only does she understand, but she answers!  Katie Bug is housebroken and crate trained, and is also good with other dogs and cats. She is a very gentle girl and might be scared with very young kids so I we would recommend children 7 years or older.  She lost her home when her family had to move into another type of housing, but she was well taken care of while she was with them, and her former owner was relieved to hear that both girls had been taken into rescue.  Katie weighs about 10 or 11 pounds, and is just the perfect size for a lap buddy!  For more photos of Katie Bug, check her album:
