Penny Lane

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

*Penny Lane is being fostered in Arkadelphia, Arkansas.*

Penny Lane is about a year old, maybe younger.  She was dumped, along with her pup, at a farm supply store in rural area.  Luckily, a friend of ours named Betty, who is involved in rescue, saw them and began feeding them.  Soon afterwards, she was able to catch them both and asked for help from ResQ.  Penny’s pup was safe with Betty, and we were asked us to help place Penny Lane in a wonderful home.  Penny is 13 pounds, and has a curl in her tail that makes her very cute!  She is mainly white and black, with brindle patches on the sides of her sweet face.  She has a full tail and button ears that sometimes turn out.  She is doing extremely well with her housetraining, and has already learned the doggie door in her foster home.  She sleeps in her crate at night without a peep, and gets up in the morning ready to play!  She plays with the other young dogs in her foster home, and seems to like everyone she meets, after about 5 minutes of investigation.  She is learning to walk on a leash, so that she will be ready for her new family.  If you need a sweetheart to give you plenty of rattie kisses, let Penny Lane know, so she can pack her bags to go home!

Dixie Belle

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

*Dixie Belle is being fostered in Arkadelphia, Arkansas.*

Just like any well-bred Southern girl, Dixie Belle has two names!  Dixie Belle is a sweet 10-month pup who somehow found her way into the shelter in Cabot, Arkansas.  The volunteers there worked hard to get her into rescue because of her wonderful temperament.  She seems to love everyone.  Dixie weighs about 14 pounds, and should probably be 16 when healthy.  (she’s a bit skinny right now)  Dixie Belle has already learned the doggie door in her foster home and is doing great with her housetraining.  She is crate trained and sleeps willingly in a crate at night.  Her favorite thing is stuffed animal toys!  She loves to play with the other young dogs in her foster home, and we think she would be fine with children.  She is self-confident and not at all shy or skittish.  Dixie Belle has beautiful, long legs, and she can run like the wind!  She loves to snuggle into a pile of warm laundry and take a snooze.  The best home for her would have a fenced-in backyard so she could run and play.  Dixie is very smart, and watches her foster mom all the time, wanting badly to please her.  She also likes her foster dad and greets visitors with a wagging tail.  For more photos of this pretty girl in her foster home, check her album often:

Ozzy

Sex: Male  •   Located in: New York   •   Age: Young

*Ozzy is being fostered in Mastic Beach, NY.*

Meet our nomination for the perfect puppy award! Ozzy is the sweetest, most loving and well behaved pup ever!  He is smart, a fast learner and adjusted very quickly to his foster home, mastering stairs in the house and multiple level decks outside.  Within a few days, he learned his new name.  Ozzy gets along well with the other dogs in his foster home, playing and running in the yard at warp speed.  He is very affectionate to his foster family and all ages of human and canine visitors who have come to meet him.  He loves to give kisses!  Ozzy would prefer a lap, but
is very content to snooze in the nearest doggie bed as long as it is near you.  He is playful, but not destructive.  His favorite game is to hide all the toys for safe-keeping.  He is a bit of a sock bandit, and will play with any misplaced sock he finds, but he doesn’t chew them up.  Ozzy is learning to fetch and bring the ball back, and he’s always good for a catch.  With a little coaching he will sit for a treat. Ozzy is crate trained and 90 percent house trained with a doggie door. His tail is bobbed, just barely a nub! His legs are very long, but he only weighs about 9 pounds now.  He should finish out at about 12 pounds, with erect ears and deep brown eyes you can’t resist.  Ozzy would make a great addition to a family with any age children. He is approximately 10 months old and is going to make a wonderful companion for the lucky adopter of this perfect pup.  Ozzy will be ready for his new family in a few weeks as soon as he is neutered.  For more photos of Ozzy in his foster home, check his album:

Malaya

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

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

Meet Malaya!  Malaya is a precious little 11-pound Rat Terrier that melted many volunteers’ hearts when they first saw her photos and the plea for help from a shelter in Rosenberg, Texas.  ResQ immediately sprang into action to get her to safety.  She did not have much time at the high kill shelter and we had to work quickly to get her out.  An angel of a volunteer from Katy, Texas stepped up and pulled her out of the shelter for ResQ and then took her to the vet for a once-over and vaccinations.  Four days later she put Malaya on a plane from Houston, Texas, to Raleigh, North Carolina. We cannot thank our Texas angel enough!  There she was greeted by her new foster Mom and driven to Winston-Salem where she is currently being fostered.. That night Malaya got to meet her foster family of four other Rat Terriers, a Golden Retriever, 3 children and Mom and Dad . Tired from travel and a bit scared at first, Malaya sniffed her new surroundings and then started bouncing around. Her personality is super sweet and loving. This little girl would be so happy to have her forever home where she could receive lots of love and attention.  She is only about 10 months old, and just as cute as they come!  She is busy learning the routine of her foster home and the skills, like housetraining, that she will need to enjoy a new home of her own!  For more photos of this sweetie in her foster home, check her album often:

Scooter

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

*Scooter is being fostered in Kenosha, Wisconsin.*

Say hello to Scooter!  Scooter is about a year and a half old, and he’s about 13 inches at the shoulder and weighs about 15 pounds.  Scooter loves to give kisses – to any willing humans and his fellow rat terrier brothers and sister.  Scooter LOVES to play and really needs a playmate to keep him happy.  He plays nicely and does not get rough so he would not be a concern for smaller playmates.  He loves to chew on rawhides, pork skin rolls, and especially Yak chews!  If you provide him with plenty of chewies, he will be a happy boy!  He is not a picky eater and will gently take snacks from hands.  He does not like his crate and will let you know for the first 15 minutes of confinement.  After that, he will quiet down and go to sleep.  He is happiest when he gets to sleep in the doggie bed by the human bed; or at the foot of your bed, to keep your tootsies warm.  He rides very nicely in the car.  He is a little shy with new people, especially men, but will grow more confident quickly as he becomes used to a new person.  He has not shown any aggression towards any humans or other animals.  He is housebroken, and loves his doggie door.  He had shown an interest in cats but not in an aggressive way – he’s probably trying to figure out if the cat wants or needs a couple of kisses!  For more photos of Scooter, check his photo album:

Jack Sparrow

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

*Jack Sparrow is being fostered in Lewisville, TX.*

Introducing Jack Sparrow!  Jack Sparrow is about a year old, maybe a year and a half, and weighs around 10 pounds.  And just like any young dog, he is full of energy and loves to play!  He wakes up when the alarms go off and is ready to start his day playing.  He loves playing ball with his foster sister Darla, who is a former ResQ alumni.  Jack even liked going to the vet; it meant new people to play with!  The office staff reported that he just wanted to play, play, play, and they had a hard time watching him leave when his surgery was done.  Jack is housebroken, and is a pro at using the doggy door.  We haven’t tested him with children, but he greets visitors and new people with a friendly attitude and was not afraid of anyone, so he would probably be good with older children.  His favorite thing is his nightly massage, and he loves to be groomed with the Furminator.  Jack is very smart!  He has already learned the command of “come”, and is learning stay, sit and fetch.  Be sure and let us know if you want to make Jack a part of your family, so we can tell him to pack his bags!  This boy really deserves a home of his own, and a family who will play with him.  For more photos of this handsome young man (and videos) in his foster home, check his Image Event album here:
