My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Mr. P can best be described as a cat in a dog's body! He lives a simple life and enjoys finding a comfy corner to lay down in and watch the world go by. He likes to keep to himself, and as a senior pup he just wants a safe home to live out the rest of his golden years in.

Piki will co-exist with other dogs in the home once he gets to know them - he enjoys going for pack walks and watching his foster siblings run around. He is potty trained but still needs to use a belly band to avoid occasional marking, which is common for male dogs.

Mr. P has a collapsing trachea, so he would do best in a quiet home to not aggrevate his cough by barking. He has lameness in his back legs, causing him to occassionally stumble while walking. Despite his age, Piki has a pep in his step and will bring cat joy in dog form for many more years to come.

He is a part of Thrive's Forever Foster Program - Thrive will cover all age related medical care to keep your Forever Foster comfortable and thriving.

Piki has been with us waiting for his forever home since May 2023.

More about this rescue

Thrive Animal Rescue is the brainchild of Cece Durante Bloum and Georgia Spogli. Cece, a lifelong animal lover, equestrian and founder of Newmarket Equestrian Center, sought a way to incorporate her love for animals with her desire to give back to the community. Being a dog lover first and foremost, Cece began finding dogs in shelters for friends who wanted to adopt but could not bear the heartache of searching through shelters to find the right match. Cece realized that shelters are filled with dogs who have been abandoned for reasons having nothing to do with serious health or behavioral issues. Georgia had completed similar rescue work on the East Coast and successfully placed several dogs in the loving homes of friends and associates in the equestrian world. Georgia felt a calling to do more and joined forces with Cece in 2014. They recruited more dog loving friends from the equestrian world, applied for non-profit status, and Thrive Animal Rescue was born!

Thrive continues to carry out its mission to rescue family friendly dogs from abandonment and shelters and place them in loving forever homes. Additionally, it is our goal to educate adopters on the importance of their commitment to their new furry family member. We consider suitability a vital part of the process of placing a dog in a loving forever home and believe this diminishes the likelihood that a dog will become displaced or rehomed again, thereby reducing the number of viable dogs being euthanized.
