Adopted!

CongRATulations to the Renfro family!

Puppies don’t come any cuter than T.J. Hobbit! Originally from East Texas, he was left on a kind lady’s doorstep. He 8 weeks old on 2/1/10, when this photo was taken. He weighs 3.5 pounds, and has short little legs that move fast! He is extremely affectionate, and just a tad spoiled by his foster mom. T.J. is a seal-colored pup, which is a dark gray with a reddish tone in the sun. His ears are up! He is a typical puppy, full of play and puppy kisses. Please see more photos of T.J. and his brother Hank.

ADOPTED!! Greyson

Jacki — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 08:00:05 +0000

Adopted!

CongRATulations to the Morrin/Dennehy family!

Meet Greyson, a distinguished gentleman at the approximate age of 9 years old and around 15 pounds. Since arriving in his foster home he has been nothing but a well-mannered and pleasant companion. Greyson is house trained, crate trained, walks well on a leash. This guy loves everyone, young and old! Greyson gets along well with his foster siblings and loves to play with his ball; he can entertain himself for hours. Greyson was a victim of the foreclosure problem in California. He was abandoned in his backyard, in bad shape, left for animal control to come and rescue him. After undergoing extensive teeth cleaning, the vets found surgical metal in his mouth which had to be removed. Apparently, it was left in his mouth long ago from some type of corrective surgery and was never removed. Because this metal was in his mouth for so long (the specific time frame is unknown), it left his teeth and gums in terrible shape. Poor Greyson had a terrible odor due to his body digesting he metal, but there is good news! Since removing the metal and few good baths, he no longer has a bad smell. There is no residual health impact, except that his teeth and gums will need to be monitored by a veterinarian on an annual basis. Please see more pics of Greyson!

ADOPTED! Tejas

Jacki — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 04:50:01 +0000

Adopted!

CongRATulations to the Hickey family!

Tejas (called Hoss for short) is named for the area of Texas where he was found. He and his three siblings were discovered in the woods with their deceased mama. He is about 5 months old and weighs about 13 lbs. Tejas has a full tail which wags constantly, and he loves to chase bugs in the leaves outside. He also likes to play in the snow. He is doing great with his potty training and rarely has an accident. Tejas is also crate trained and good on a leash. He is a great snuggler and loves cuddling, meeting new people and new dogs! He did meet a cat, and did not chase! He was content to try and play with her. He is food motivated so he is easy to train. Tejas is a good puppy, and deserves a family of his own. Could that be yours? Please see more pictures of this cutie pie!

ADOPTED! Caddo

Jacki — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 04:40:49 +0000

Adopted!

CongRATulations to the Ortiz family!

My name is Caddo, and I’m the biggest boy of my siblings! But I am also the sweetest, if you ask my foster mom. I was very worried about my little brothers and sisters when our mom died in the woods, but a nice lady found us and got us somewhere warm and safe. We had all lost most of our fur, but it’s growing back now and I’m happy in my Arkansas foster home. My sisters have been adopted, but I really want my brother Tejas and I to have our own homes. I am 12 pounds at 5 months. I am learning about housebreaking (my mom says I am good!) and I am also paper trained. Please follow my progress! I would love to have a home of my own, and maybe even some kids to play with! I’m a puppy, so I might chew a shoe or two, or tear up a Kleenex, but I’ll try to be really good if you’ll adopt me.

Sid

Jacki — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 18:46:35 +0000

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!

ADOPTED!! Parker

Jacki — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 14:49:29 +0000

Adopted!

CongRATulations to the Cooper family!

Parker is a handsome one year old male. He is a tall guy (about 17 inches) and weighs around 15 pounds. He is very active and needs to have space to run and play. Although he is young, he is very smart and knows his basic commands, and how to properly walk on a leash. He is in training right now to be a very well-adjusted, happy dog. He definitely needs to have humans who can be his leaders. He is a follower, and should not be given too much leeway. He knows his boundaries and will not jump on furniture or go where he is not allowed to be in the house. He is housebroken and uses the doggie door to go potty outside. He adores being around people, and loves playing with other dogs. He likes going to the dog parks and will run for hours with his dog friends. He likes being chased and playing with his toys. He would do best in a home where there is another playful dog, a home with children to play with him, and a very, very active owner. If you think Parker would make a great addition to your home, please fill out an application. Please see more pictures of Parker!

Gizmo

Jacki — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 17:58:08 +0000

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!

ADOPTED! Angelique

Jacki — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 04:31:02 +0000

Adopted!

CongRATulations to the Costello/Lid family!

Angelique is a true gem! She has been saved from a southern shelter and is just amazing. She loves people, loves to play, loves other dogs, loves everything! She’s a cutie, to boot! She’s house trained, good with dogs and cats and an expert at snuggling. She just sits with you and gazes adoringly. When you want to play, she’s rarin’ to go! At just 2 years old and about 12 pounds, she makes the perfect compact winter addition! Please see more photos of Angelique and don’t miss her video of fun with a Jolly Ball.

ADOPTED! Bugsley

Jacki — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 21:42:14 +0000

Adopted!

CongRATulations to the Eberspacher family!

My name is Bugsley. I am between 4 and 5 months old. I was picked up as a stray at about 3 months of age. I became very stressed at the shelter with all of the dogs barking and making so much noise that I got really scared at the place and stopped eating. I have been at my foster home for a couple of weeks and I have put almost all my weight back on, I weigh 7.3 pounds now. I had forgotten what is was like to be a puppy: running through the house and playing with my toys. I tried to play with a cat (but he really didn’t want to play with me so now I just ignore him). I do love playing with my foster dog-siblings. We have so much fun together. I am completely crate trained and I am working on my house training. I love all people who come in the house. I have not gone out too much since I have just received my puppy shots. If you are looking for a puppy to fulfill your life, look no further!

Hank Hobbit

Jacki — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 18:19:17 +0000

Hank is an adorable puppy, and is 8 weeks old as of 2/1/10. He was left on a doorstep in East Texas, and ResQ was contacted. Hank is a happy and healthy puppy, and has started his routine shots. He weighs 4.6 pounds at 8 weeks, and is extremely self-confident and bold! He does love to snuggle in your lap and give puppy kisses, though. He has short little legs, which means he is a Teddy Roosevelt Terrier (formerly called a Type B Rat Terrier). His ears are going up, but aren’t quite there yet. Hank is just a beautiful puppy. He is being happily spoiled by his foster mom, who is going to hate to see this little darlin’ go! Please see more photos of Hank and his brother, T.J.!
