Adopted! 

 This adorable little guy is named Pippin.  A short description of Pippin is:  a dog that loves everyone!  Pippin is between 1 and 2 years old, and weighs 12 pounds.  He is a type B Rat Terrier, with shorter legs.  His fur is super soft, and he is affectionate without being too clingy.  He likes men and women equally, and enjoys following his foster dad out to the shop, where he sits and observes.  He greets every visitor to his foster home with a tail wag, and thinks they are here to see him!  Pippin would probably be fine with children, especially older children who won’t chase him to pick him up.He is a bit mouthy and likes to play with hands, so smaller children would need to be supervised.  He is crate trained and is housebroken with a doggie door.  In fact, he loves to be outside exploring, even without his foster mom.  And did we mention he loves toys?  There’s really nothing negative we can say about this great little dog.  This little guy minds well, wants to please, and will wake you up with lots of “good morning” kisses if you adopt him.  For more photos of Pippin, click here:

 CongRATulations to the Fuller family!

Adopted!  

 Xena was abandoned with her siblings at a rural, high-kill shelter in the South that had no formal adoption program.  ResQ was notified and stepped in to rescue the sweet pups and give them a chance at life.  Our volunteers sent the pups to the Northeast for fostering and to find furever homes, and Xena wound up on Long Island, New York.  Xena is approximately 12 weeks old and is just the sweetest thing!  She is a chocolate/lemon tri-color with a striking pattern on her face.  It’s like she’s wearing a mask!  And that’s how she got the name “Xena,” (the Princess Warrior)  although she doesn’t have an aggressive bone in her body.  She gets along well with all of her foster siblings, and may only be 5 pounds, but she can handle the brute of the bunch in her foster home!  Everyone who meets her falls in love immediately.  She loves to play, as any puppy, but melts into your arms as soon as you hold her.  She has learned to sit for a treat and is working very had on housetraining.  She will sleep in her crate all night long, and willingly go into the crate for feeding time and nap time, but if she’s not tired, will complain for a few minutes before settling into the crate.  When fully grown, Xena should be about 12-15 lbs.  She is a type A Rat Terrier, with long legs and slender build.  If you are looking to open your heart and home to a puppy, please consider sweet Xena, a lot of love in a little package!  Xena will be available in just a few short weeks so get your application in so she can go home as soon as she is ready!

 

 Max is a sweet little boy.  He is about 3 years old and weighs about 20 lbs.  Max is fully housebroken and crate-trained.  He and his brother, Echo, were given up when their family had to move and were forced to leave their dogs behind.  Max is easy-going and will bark to alert you if someone comes to your door. That’s his job, after all!  And someone obviously worked with him, since he knows basic commands like, “sit”, “come”, etc.  He gets along with other dogs, and although we aren’t sure how he will do with cats, we can have him  ”cat-scanned” upon request.  He will sleep in his crate, but would much prefer to sleep in bed with you if you let him.  Could Max be the perfect addition to your family? For more pics of Max in his Florida fosterhome, Click Here

  Thumper was such an amazing little guy that a shelter volunteer kept him safe in her home for about a week until ResQ could squeeze him in.  Was he worth it?  You bet!  Thumper loves everyone!  He loves men and women equally, and greets visitors with a wag of his little tail.   Thumper is housebroken and quiet, and doesn’t challenge any of the other dogs in his foster home.  He gets excited when he sees a black car drive by, so we think he must still be looking for his master to come get him.  Thumper follows his foster dad everywhere, and gets excited when he sees a leash, or thinks he might get to ride in the car.  Thumper had someone who loved him, and we may never know how he ended up on the euthanasia list at a shelter.    He is about 4 years old and weighs 16 pounds – just the perfect lap size!  Thumper is affectionate and minds well, and would do well in just about any home.  However, Thumper can easily scale a 4′ chain link fence, so that needs to be taken into consideration if you think you might like to adopt him and give him a permanent home.  View more Thumper pics.

 Everything in Texas isn’t big!  This tiny little girl is named Tina!  She came from a shelter in TX when her time ran out and her family didn’t come to get her.  She is only about 6 pounds, and a year old.  She is crate trained, but much prefers to sleep in a soft dog bed.  In her foster home she sleeps on a pillow on top of her crate!  She is quite the jumper.  Tina is super affectionate and loves all humans, men and women alike.  She greets all visitors with a butt-wiggle and makes friends easily.  Because she is so small, we think she would do best in a home with children older than 6 or 7.  We think she must have been an only dog, but she’s learning to play with the other dogs in her foster home.  However, she is extremely possessive of rawhide chewies, and will cause a huge ruckus if another dog gets too close to her prized possession.  But people can take a chewie away from her, and she doesn’t object at all, she rolls over on her back.  She is only possessive with other dogs.  Once the chewies have been put away, she is a perfect angel with the other dogs.  She is fed in her crate, so the other dogs won’t bother her while she eats.  Tina is housebroken with a doggie door, and will go to the back door to be let outside if the doggie door is not available.  She loves to retrieve toys and small balls that are thrown, and is eager to please her people.  We think that because she is so small, she makes up for it with plenty of “rattitude.”  If you are looking for a spunky little girl who will give you years of companionship, maybe Tiny Tina is the girl for you!  To see photos of Tina in her foster home, click here:
