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:

Louie

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

*Louie is being fostered in Garland, Texas.*

   Louie is about 4 years old, and is a very tall fellow (14″ at the shoulder) and weighs about 18 pounds.  He’s very friendly and happily greets everyone he sees.   Riding in the car is fun if the window is down (and locked) 2 or 3 inches so he can smell the outside air.  He is good on a leash and and gets very excited when he sees his harness.  Louie loves to sleep in the bed, either on top or underneath the covers, depending on the weather.  Louie is housebroken and a doggie door champ!  Louie is quite a talker — he grumbles and groans when he is settling down to a nap or shifting under the bedcovers at night.  ”Louie” is the name given to him by the shelter folks, but he responds to the name “Hawk.”  His foster mom thought he deserved a new name in his new life, which fits the Mohawk-like streak down the back of his neck.  Louie has good manners, sitting quietly, waiting for his turn for treats or dinner.  He knows what a “hug” is, and will ask for one by sitting at your feet and pawing the air.  He will get onto his foster mom’s lap for short hugs, but then he is ready to get down.  He loves to play and wrestle with his people, and has a soft mouth.  He minds well.  Louie (aka Hawk) enjoyed the grandkids (4, 7 and 9) for an afternoon of play.   He does play with other dogs, especially his rat terrier housemates.  This young man will make a fun and loving companion and an excellent watchdog.  Is he for you?  See more of Louie http://imageevent.com/ratterrierresq/louie

***Axle Rose***

Sex: Male  •   Located in: California   •   Age: Adult

****Axle Rose*** is being fostered in Fresno, California.*

  I’d like you to meet Axle. Axle is an 9 year old Rat Terrier weighing in at about 18 pounds.He is a loving, smart and playful guy. Axle is healthy and happy; he does have cataracts in both eyes. That doesn’t stop his from doing the things he loves like playing fetch, tug o war, soccer, and “Find It”, etc. Axle was taught in his former home several commands that he still understands and uses daily. It’s very sad that such a great dog like this was not found by his humans. It’s obvious to his foster mom, that someone has spent a lot of time training him. Axle is house trained, crate trained, uses a doggie door, has good recall, walks on a leash with a harness well, is a great watch dog and will even talk to you when he wants to play. Driving in the car is on the top of his list of fun things to do. Even though Axle has a cataract it sure doesn’t hinder is ability to play fetch and the “Find It” game and all the other games he begs to play daily. He’ll even play by himself if he has to. Axle gets along with his foster canine brother and sister well, but would love to be an only dog or with another female dog.
