Dogs who are Adult (2 - 8 years)
Sid
Sex: Male • Located in: Florida • Age: Adult
*Sid is being fostered in Tampa.*
Sid is a wonderful 4 year old male, who was rescued from a kill shelter. He is such a sweet guy, loves to be cuddled and is always giving kisses. He is very laid-back, but he loves going on his walks and looks forward to them. Leash walking him is so easy; he will walk right next to you. He likes being outdoors, so a home with a secured fenced yard would suit him best. He doesn’t mind being around other dogs, but isn’t much into interacting with them. He is submissive to other dogs and would not pick a fight. He will chase the tennis ball, but seems more content on being a lap dog. He is a friendly boy and will let anyone pet him including children. As long as someone pays attention to him he is happy. He likes to chase small animals so a home with cats would not be good for him. We think a home where he will get a lot of attention and affection would suit him best. Please see more pictures of Sid!

*Gizmo is being fostered in Babson Park.*
Hi! My name is Gizmo. I’m 3 years old and I weigh 14 lbs. Before I became a Rat Terrier ResQ dog, I was a stray in Northeast Arkansas. I was injured on the street and spent 3 days under a tree in a pile of snow before a nice volunteer came to get me. Due to my injuries, I was not eligible for adoption. Another volunteer arranged for me to take a plane ride to Florida where my foster mom was waiting for me. I’m doing much better now and am recovering from my injuries. I hope to be ready for my own family soon. I’m a really good boy. I sleep in my crate without complaining. I’m house trained, and I get along with everyone, including cats, dogs, and kids. I’m also very vocal and will talk to you if you like, but I promise not to bark too much. Do you have room in your heart and home for me? If so please adopt me, I have my own leash and will travel. If you’re wondering about my life on the streets, I’ll tell you all about it. You can also see more pictures of me!

Haydn
Sex: Female •
Located in:
Wisconsin •
Age: Adult • Special needs? Yes Sponsor me!
*Haydn is being fostered in Green Bay.*
Haydn’s story is a sad one. She was severely burned by her former owner and sustained third-degree burns over 30% of her back and side. Unfortunately, she received minimal medical care until recently, when she made it to ResQ. Currently, Haydn is on antibiotics, pain medication and Silvadene burn cream. She has also started cold laser therapy to heal the last open wound. Haydn, only about 2 years old, will need significant medical care for a while, including a possible wound revision surgery to help with the tightness the scars have caused since she has difficulty bending one of her rear legs. She may also need hydrotherapy to help with the strength in that leg. She is leery of new things, but we can see a very playful girl (at least, as playful as she can get with a cone on her head!) and believe that she has an incredible and joyful spirit inside her. Haydn is not yet available for adoption, but we’ll keep you posted here! Please see more pictures of Haydn, but be forewarned, they are a teensy bit graphic.

Pluto
Sex: Male • Located in: Florida • Age: Adult
*Pluto is being fostered in Valrico.*
Hi, my name is Pluto. My foster mom named me after the planet, because I’m small. I weigh about 17 lbs and am about 3 to 5 years old. Before I came to live with my foster mom, I was homeless. I was brought to a shelter, but nobody came looking for me. After a while, my time was up. I was very scared, but then my foster mom showed up to take me out of that scary place. I’m a very good boy. I never go potty in the house. I’m learning to sit and stay, but I have to stay on a leash whenever I go outside. I like to go exploring, but I might get lost if I wander off. I met a 12-year-old kid and I loved him! I’m good with dogs and I met cats and totally ignored them! What I really, really wanted for Christmas was a family of my own, but no luck so far! Can you help me have a fantastic new year in a new home? Yours truly, Pluto [P.S. See more pictures of me!]

Warrior
Sex: Male • Located in: Texas • Age: Adult
*Warrior is being fostered in Austin.*
Warrior is an awesome and handsome 12-pounder who came to ResQ after his owner surrendered them at the local kill shelter due to moving. Warrior is a healthy and happy young man who is about 2 years old. He is house trained, kennel trained, gets along well with all the dogs in the house, is a very sweet snuggle bunny, and is just an all-around great dog. Warrior is a calm thoughtful soul. Warrior loves to try to get his older Rattie siblings to play, but sometimes is a little overzealous with his play invitations, but he will submit. Warrior is a quick learner and is working on some basic training. He is a very easy boy to live with. Warrior will be a great family dog, especially if he has children to play with and throw balls for him to fetch. He would also be a sweet companion as an only dog. He can be “cat-scanned” upon request. Make sure you see more pictures of Warrior!

Minnie
Sex: Female • Located in: Florida • Age: Adult
*Minnie is being fostered in Babson Park.*
Minnie is 2 years old and weighs about 15 pounds. She is crate trained, house trained, and gets along with everyone including other dogs and children. We’re not sure how she does with cats, but we can have her “cat-scanned” upon request. Minnie came to us from an animal shelter in south Florida when her owners were no longer able to care for her. Minnie was shy for about the first half hour in her foster home. After that, it was as if she owned the place. She plays with the other dogs and is very sweet and affectionate. She’s full of energy and loves to run around but is also content to sit in your lap or next to you on the couch. Is Minnie the perfect addition to your family? Please see more pictures of Minnie!

Tate
Sex: Male • Located in: Connecticut • Age: Adult
*Tate is being fostered in Waterbury.*
Meet little man Tate! This adorable little guy is about 10 pounds and about 2 years old. He is very timid and skittish, but has progressed nicely in his foster home, playing with a couple of his foster brothers. He is still very nervous of fast movements and loud noises. Tate would blossom best in a quiet home without children and with patient human(s) who will give Tate time and space. He loves to sleep in bed, is very snuggly and doesn’t mind being close for petting and hugs. He will kiss your hand from time to time. He has been seen lifting his leg on several occasions, so we gird him up with a belly band to help avoid accidents. He uses a doggie door to do his business otherwise. This is a precious little soul that just yearns to let the ‘big dog’ come out of his little frame. A calm playmate would be good for Tate, but also being an only dog would allow for all the attention and love to be focused solely on him, which he deserves. Please only apply for this very special boy if you can give him the love and patience that he needs. He patiently awaits his special forever family.

Mick is a refined older gentleman (around 11 years old) that was rescued from a shelter in Miami where he was scheduled to be euthanized. This sweet 14-lb. boy is missing an eye, but he doesn't let that stop... [
