Brayda

Sex: Female  •   Located in: North Carolina   •   Age: Adult

*Brayda is being fostered in Winston-Salem, NC.*

Brayda is a beautiful brindle and white girl who found herself in a shelter through no fault of her own. She is about 2 to 3 years old, and weighs about 18 pounds. She is an excellent watch dog, and will look for signs from you when a stranger enters the home. Once told it’s okay, she will wag her tail to meet them. She is crate trained and is housebroken with a doggie door. If allowed, she loves to sleep at the foot of her foster dad’s bed or in a dog bed on the floor. She is a busy girl, always checking out the back yard for pesky squirrels and other invaders! Brayda loves to play with the other dogs in her foster home, and especially loves to play chase in the back yard. She loves being outdoors! Because she is active and loves being outside, we would prefer that her permanent home have a fenced back yard to keep her safe. She is attentive without being needy, and doesn’t demand to be in your lap all the time. Brayda would be a fantastic addition to an active family, and would not do well in a home that expected a couch potato dog. Brayda plays hard, so very small children would probably not be advised, we would be afraid she would accidently knock them over in her exuberance. But if you like walking, jogging, or just watching her harass the squirrels in your back yard, this is the dog for you! She loves to fetch a ball, but she will make you work to get it back. Toys are her favorite thing in the world, besides ear scratches. Check out her album often, as we will be adding more photos. Click Here:.

Sierra - ADOPTION PENDING!!

Sex: Female  •   Located in: Texas   •   Age: Young

*Sierra - ADOPTION PENDING!! is being fostered in Lewisville, Texas.*

SierraSierra is being fostered in Lewisville, TX. We’d like to introduce Sierra! Sierra is a beautiful chocolate tri-color rat terrier who is estimated to be about a year and a half old, and weighs just 11 pounds. Sierra is trained to use a doggie door to go outside and potty, and her foster mom reports that she is very active and playful, and loves to play fetch! She also likes to play tug-of-war with rope toys, and gets along great with the other two dogs in her foster home. We don’t know how she is around cats, or young children. She needs a little polishing when it comes to leash skills, and we are working on that. This little girlee loves attention, and her favorite snacks are carrots, green beans and watermelon (just like a true Southern lady!) For more photos of Sierra, click on her album:

Miss Riley

Sex: Female  •   Located in: North Carolina   •   Age: Baby

*Miss Riley is being fostered in Winston Salem, NC.*



Meet “Miss Riley” a sweet and loving young Rat Terrier mix who is bursting with playful energy! Miss Riley is just a pup at 5 months old and ready to find her forever home. She weighs 14 pounds with long legs, tipped ears and beautified sable markings. Miss Riley gets along great with the other three dogs in the house, but her favorite is her golden retriever foster sister. They play nonstop until they drop!  Miss Riley was abandoned at a kill shelter after she was passed off to her second owner. Maybe she was misunderstood due to her lack of hearing. She is completely deaf, but her disability does not hold her back. Miss Riley is ready to please. She enjoys her rope and sneaky toys and runs and plays with the other dogs and children in the house. When tired she is ready to cuddle up with her foster family for rest.  Miss Riley is doing great with house training, learning sign language and walking on a leash. A fenced in yard would be ideal since she will never be able to be off leash.  Miss Riley would do best in a home that has other dogs and children who are not timid and are ready for for an active and fun loving pup! She is so happy, full of life and grateful to all that show her affection. If you are ready for constant entertainment, companionship and fun then Miss Riley is your girl.   For more photos of Miss Riley, check her photo album:

Sniper - ADOPTED!!

			
Sex: Male  •  
			Located in: 
						Arkansas   •  
			Age: Young									

			
*Sniper - ADOPTED!! is being fostered in Arkadelphia, Arkansas.*
ADOPTED!!  This handsome boy is Sniper, and he was given the name by our Facebook family.  This little guy is only about a year old, and already has had a rough life.  Someone thought the little black and white pup would make good target practice, so as a result he has several pellets and pieces of metal throughout his body from being shot.  The x-ray in his photo album shows the proof of his prior abuse.  A bullet was surgically removed from his shoulder, and he has a bit of muscle loss at the surgical spot, but otherwise this long-legged boy is active and happy to chase the squirrels in his foster home’s back yard.  He is completely housebroken with a doggie door and walks well with a leash and harness.  He is extremely affectionate and sweet, and is submissive to all the other dogs in his foster home, some weigh half his 18 pounds.  He loves to be in your lap, and is a big fan of giving doggie kisses.  He is just a bit shy when meeting new people, but once he feels safe, he wants all the petting you can spare.  Sniper hasn’t been tested with children, but we feel confident he would do well, especially with children over 5 who are gentle and kind to him.  But his sad story doesn’t end with being shot.  He is also heart worm positive - a very light positive - and has begun treatment.  He should be healthy and ready for his new home some time in September, once he has a clean bill of health from our vets.  Upon request, we would be happy to test him with cats.  A home with a fenced backyard will be given precedence, per his foster parents.  If you have any questions about him, and think you would like to give this deserving little guy a new home, please let us know - or better yet, go ahead and fill out an application!

Bindi

			
Sex: Female  •  
			Located in: 
						New York   •  
			Age: Adult									

			
*Bindi is being fostered in Mastic Beach, New York.*




Hello mates!  Say G’day to our new foster girl, Bindi!  This sweet girl ended up homeless when her owner died, but ResQ stepped in to help!  Bindi is a love bug and a playful girl, but is always ready to relax with you, and maybe share your pillow if you let her.  She listens to commands well, is housebroken and crate trained.  She loves to play ball and is eager to catch the Frisbee.  A big wiggle butt, at 32 lbs, she is a tall girl, too measuring 17″ at her shoulder.  She is probably a Jack Russell Terrier mix and approx. 5 yrs old.  Bindi is very smart and learned her new name quickly… she even helped pick it out!  She is good with other dogs and she loves children!  We think she misses the kids in her former home.  She is even good with cats!  This sweet girl loves everyone.  But, If YOU don’t like kisses, then this girl is not for you.  THIS girl loves to LOVE on you and enjoys belly rubs to no end!  Although she wasn’t kept on heart worm preventative, she thankfully didn’t contract the disease.   She is fully vaccinated now, clean and safe until she finds her forever owners to love and care for this special soul. Bindi could use some leash training, but she is very intelligent and learns quickly. This, and possibly a suspect for stealing tissues out of the garbage cans, would be the only areas her foster home could say she would need some training with at this time…  otherwise, she is the perfect dog!  Check back for updates as this Aussie settles into her foster home!  And be sure and enjoy the photos in her album:

Romeo

			
Sex: Male  •  
			Located in: 
						Arkansas   •  
			Age: Young									

			
*Romeo is being fostered in Arkadelphia, Arkansas.*












This sweet boy named himself.  Upon meeting him, his foster mom said…”This little boy is a real lover, a Romeo.”  He is super sweet and affectionate, and soaks up love like a big sponge.  He is a bi-color boy with beautiful erect ears and a full tail that he wags constantly.  He is housebroken with a doggie door, and so far hasn’t shown any bad habits that need to be corrected.  When you pet him he closes his eyes and enjoys every minute of it.  He plays with the other young dogs in his foster home, and sometimes enjoys waking the humans up with a squeakly toy at 6 a.m.  (assuming you don’t get up ready to play!)  He came from a shelter in Jonesboro, Arkansas, and the volunteers went the extra mile to transport him to safety.  He is a young dog, probably between 1 and 2 years old, and weighs only 12 pounds.  He loves to play with toys, and go for fun rides in the car.  We haven’t tested him with kids, but he has such a docile, loving nature, we think he would be fine with children.  We would be happy to test him if we need to.  It’s always hard to understand why such a good dog can end up homeless, but you can change that, if you have just a little extra lap room for a boy named Romeo.  For more photos of him in his foster home, click here:

Snoopy

			
Sex: Male  •  
			Located in: 
						Arkansas   •  
			Age: Young									

			
*Snoopy is being fostered in Arkadelphia, Arkansas.*


Unfortunately, Snoopy will not be available until he completes heartworm treatment.  We will update this bio when he is available, most likely in November.






Here’s Snoopy!  This adorable little guy (at only 10 pounds) lost his home through no fault of his own.  He is friendly and playful, and housebroken with a doggie door.  Snoopy is a “low rider” or a Type B Rat Terrier, with short little legs.  He makes up for it with big ears!  Snoopy is such a comical little guy, he will twirl and bounce when offered a treat, and wants to be curled up in your lap when he’s not patrolling the back yard for pesky squirrels.  Snoopy’s owner was forced to give him up by an apartment manager who evidently dislikes dogs.  Both the owner and the town’s ACO contacted ResQ right away, so Snoopy has not had to endure shelter life.  He is a happy, peppy little guy who will put a smile on your face!  Even his little tail is comical, it has a kink in the end of it.  But that doesn’t keep him from wagging it constantly!  If you are looking for a great family pet, please look twice at this little guy.  But keep in mind, he doesn’t lay on top of a dog house like his namesake, he prefers a recliner or a comfy doggie bed.  For photos of Snoopy in his foster habitat, click here:

Kelsey - ADOPTED!!

			
Sex: Female  •  
			Located in: 
						Arkansas   •  
			Age: Adult									

			
*Kelsey - ADOPTED!! is being fostered in Arkadelphia, Arkansas.*




ADOPTED!!  Kelsey and her housemate Katie were surrendered to rescue when their human parents had to make a move and could not take them.  Both of these girls were well loved and taken care of, and ResQ has been in communication with their former owners, who are very happy that the girls are taken care of.  Kelsey is being fostered in Arkadelphia, AR, and is a beautiful chocolate and white girl with amber eyes.  She is especially fond of men, but seems to love everyone.  Her former owner reports that she has been around small children, but will prefer to seek out a quiet place while they are visiting.  So a home with very young children would probably not be the best environment for her.  She is housebroken and uses a doggie door.  She needed a good teeth cleaning, but we took care of that.  Kelsey loves, loves, loves to play with toys and retrieve them.  She will drop one at your feet and “yaroooo” at you until you pick it up and toss it for her.  She’s a lap dog superb, and so far as not shown any behavioral problems that need to be corrected.  She LOVES to take a ride in the car, and mainly just wants to be with her people.  She weighs 12 pounds, and is probably a pound overweight, but she is healthy and has a lot of life and love to give a lucky family.  To see her photos, click here:

Katie Bug

			
Sex: Female  •  
			Located in: 
						Connecticut   •  
			Age: Adult									

			
*Katie Bug is being fostered in Wolcott, CT.*




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:
