Say hello to Millie!   Millie is a beautiful, long-legged girl, and weighs about 13 pounds.  She is only about a year old.  Millie is very sweet and affectionate, and a bit vocal.  She barks when she’s happy to see you, and wags her tail at the same time.  She also grumbles at the other dogs who come to close to her chewies.  Because of her tendency to “resource guard,” we feel she would probably not be good with younger children.  Millie does a lot of growling when she’s playing, but will retrieve a toy and place it in your hand, so she can tug and growl some more.  She’s a little nervous at times, but greets visitors with a happy wag and loves to meet new people.  Millie is happy in a crate, or snuggled up next to you under the covers.  She does well on a leash, and rides well in the car.  She is absolutely housebroken, and uses the doggie door on her own.  Millie can jump a baby gate like a deer!  If given a few days to adjust to her new home, Millie would be a devoted and loving companion!

CongRATulations to the Nietenhoefer family!

 Meet Burke!  His family dumped him at a Georgia shelter and his time ran out. For the life of us, we can’t imagine why anyone would want to part with him or why no one adopted him.  He is truly a perfect dog.  Burke is an energetic puppy of 11 months.  He is a stunning black and tan, but his head is actually a bit more red..  He has a real show dog look.   Burke has a natural bob tail that is very short.  He came to ResQ housebroken and he mastered the dog door in one day.   He weighs 12 pounds. Burke loves to play with other dogs in his foster home and does rat runs with his step-brother Fuzzy Wuzzy.   And what puppy doesn’t love to play with toys?  Burke loves to play with toys.  He is crate trained and sleeps quietly at night.  He loves everyone he meets and especially loves kids who he sees as playmates.  He would do great in just about any home.  If you are interested in adopting this handsome guy, be sure and let us know, so he can pack his bag to come home!  

Adopted!

CongRATulations to the Vavalle family!

 Tinkerbell is a two and a half-year old female who needs a gentle, loving home and a family that she can give her love and affection to in return.  She is extremely timid and submissive but ever so loving once she feels safe.  She would snuggle all day and kiss you to death if she could.  She is not a chewer or destructive and likes playing with our toys nicely.  She is playful and friendly with other dogs and picks up the household routine quickly.  We are not sure how she will do with cats. Tinkerbell has a white smooth coat, and is the classic tricolor with big brown eyes. She has an 8-inch tail, stands 10.5 inches at the shoulders and is 17 inches long from nose to the base of her wagging tail. She weighs 14.2 lbs.   She can be crated but is housetrained and walks very nicely on a leash..  Tink is quite an acrobat and can jump very high.  She loves to be on your lap if it’s free and also loves a good car ride.  Tinkerbell comes to her name like a good girl and has recently been learning to sit.  This sweet girl gets nervous and fearful around small children, so she needs a home with adults or older kids.  For more pictures and video clips of her in action, visit Tinkerbell’s photo album  HERE 

CongRATulations to the Warner family!

 Lady is a sweet, affectionate, friendly, outgoing 3 year-old female rat terrier. She has a lot of energy and is always ready to run and play. She is good  with other dogs, but not cats or other small animals, due to her prey drive. She loves to chase squirrels, rabbits, and lizards. She will spend hours outside hunting, which means she requires a home with a secure fenced yard. She would not be happy as an apartment or condo dog because she needs an outlet for her energy.  She needs to be with a person or family who is very active. (i.e. taking her for long walks daily, letting her run, and making sure she has plenty of activities to keep her occupied.) Lady would be great at dog sports, such as agility or fly ball.  She needs a job!  She will only thrive in an active environment. She is highly intelligent, curious, and social. A home with another playful dog would be great for her, as well as a home with older children who can play with her, although she may be too exuberant for toddlers.  Lady loves being around people.  Lady has learned several commands, with the help of a volunteer trainer.  She knows “sit”, “stay” and “down.”  She is very smart!  She is nervous when it thunders (she wants to sit on laps and be comforted)  She sleeps quietly on her bed at night, and does not like being crated.  Her favorite thing is to swim in the ocean!  She has been to the dog beach and loves it!  She also loves going to the dog parks to socialize.  If you are looking for an active companion, Lady could be the one!

Adopted!

CongRATulations to the Robilio family!

 Say hello to Duncan!  Duncan is a 6-pound Rat Terrier, who is about a year old.  Duncan is crate-trained and sleeps all through the night.  However, he loves to nap with the rest of the family on the sofa or daybed.  He is a doggie door champ, having picked it up all on his own watching the other furkids, and is now about 99% housebroken.  He is always eager to please his foster mom, and gets along with all the dogs in his foster home.  He is often found coaxing the bigger ratties to play, and will jump in the middle if two of the others are playing.  Duncan is a little unsure of strangers, but loves everyone he knows and will jump in your lap almost before you sit down.  This cute boy loves to be petted and talked to, and will belly-up while wiggling all over.  He is very good about coming when called and we are working on leash-training. He is not “yappy” at all, but barks when he’s supposed to.  He is a curious little fellow and found a couple of weak spots in his foster mom’s fence, which are now closed off!   Duncan is a happy little boy who’ll bring you miles of smiles.  He will make you laugh out loud and glad that you have him in your life!  For photos and a video of Duncan in his foster home, click here:

 Dobby is only about 8 months old and weighs about 9 pounds. He is a type B rat terrier, with shorter legs. According to the shelter, Dobby was kicked in the head, which badly damaged his right eye. The wonderful shelter staff rushed him to a local vet, who removed the eye and took care of him until ResQ could be contacted. Despite the abuse in his past, Dobby loves everyone. He has a happy spirit, and is very affectionate. He snuggles into your lap like he is soaking up kindness, and follows his foster mom around everywhere she goes. Dobby doesn’t much like a crate, and he would rather snuggle into bed with you. (He doesn’t take up much room, after all) He is doing wonderfully with his house training, and is very smart! There is no evidence that he was emotionally damaged by the abuse, and to prove it, his tail never stops wagging. Dobby loves to smother you with kisses, if you will sit still long enough. Our vets tell us that his surgery area will look much better in a few weeks, and he has absolutely no handicap from losing the eye. His depth perception is fine, and he sprints up stairs like a big dog. Losing an eye has not slowed this amazing pup down one bit.
