Darla

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

*Darla is being fostered in Arkadelphia, AR.*

 Darla is 1 to 2 years old, and was picked up as a stray in central Arkansas. When the temps at the shelter reached 100 degrees, ResQ was asked to take her. Darla is an athelete, very strong and solidly built. She loves to run, chase tennis balls, tug-of-war, and play, play, play. She and her foster brother Ruger are best pals. Darla is housebroken with a doggie door, and loves to do rat runs in the backyard of her foster home. She weighs about 16 pounds, and is solid muscle, not an ounce of fat on this girl. Unfortunately, Darla has tested a light positive for heartworms, and has already begun her treatment. Keeping her inactive is going to be a challenge! She should be ready for adoption in September. Darla is probably fine with older children who like to play ball, and probably should have a fenced backyard or some other way to burn off energy. She is loving and loves to sit in laps, and sleep at the foot of your bed. For more photos of Darla in action,   Click Here!

Dewey

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

*Dewey is being fostered in New Britain, CT.*

Please meet Dewey!  Dewey is approximately 1 to 1 1/2 years old and weighs a whopping 8 lbs. Dewey was pulled from a shelter in Las Vegas and flew home with his fostermom to his new fosterhome in CT.  This cute guy gets along great with all the other dogs in his foster home and has the funniest personality!  He loves to chase a tennis ball, play with all his toys, or take a break and snuggle on your lap.  He enjoys sleeping in bed with his foster parents and snuggling tight to keep you safe.  Dewey sleeps through the night without a peep and wakes up giving you lots of kisses.  Dewey is crate trained, house trained, and great on a leash. It takes him a few minutes to warm up to new people, but once he knows you won’t hurt him he is a total lovebug!  Because he is a bit shy at first meeting, it would probably be best for his family to consist of children over 10.  Once you meet this little guy you will fall in love, so please make a place in your heart for him.

Jackie

Sex: Female  •   Located in: New Jersey   •   Age: Young

*Jackie is being fostered in Berlin, New Jersey.*

Jackie is a sweet-tempered ball of fire!  She has a ton of energy and LOVES to play – with anyone (any dogs, cats, any humans, all toys, even an ice cube!).  Jackie is tall (16 in floor to shoulder) and thin (about 22 lbs) but she is a terrific eater.  She can jump VERY high and is extremely light on her paws.  She has a long tail, erect ears and a reddish-tan mask over her ears and face.  Her hair is smooth and soft.  She’s mostly white with a few tan and black spots here and there.  Jackie is a true lover, showering everyone she meets with kisses, and tries to sneak in a snuggle whenever she gets close to you.  She is great with kids but might tip over a toddler because she jumps when she gets excited about playing with someone.  She walks on a leash nicely, is doing great with housetraining, rides in the car quietly and gently takes treats from your hands.  When she sees you go near the treat bag she automatically stands up on her back legs and crosses her paws to look as cute and hungry as she possibly can.  Hard to resist!  Jackie doesn’t seem to have an aggressive bone in her body.  She enjoys learning new tricks and is curious about just about everything!  A friend took her to an agility course and she showed great interest in the activities – this would be a great way to channel her energy – she’d be a natural!   For more photos of this amazing dog,  Click Here!
