My story

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

Hello there! My name is Chico, so nice to meet you! Let me tell you about myself. I am very lovable and enjoy being around kids and other dogs. I love my schedule and am not afraid to remind you when it is time for my walk. Another thing people would say about me is that, ok I am just going to say it, I am very, very handsome! Everyone that meets me comments on my gorgeous shiny black coat of fur and good looks…. I can’t blame them, I am a doggy catch for sure! I am almost 2 years old and weigh about 55 lbs.

I just went to doggy training school and learned a few new tricks. I already knew how to sit and give my paw on command but now I am really good at waiting and standing still until I am told that I can start to move again. Oh, and I also will do anything for a treat. Just say the word “treat” and I will IMMEDIATELY stop what I am doing and quickly head your way! I just love those bacon treats and tiny milk bones! I get excited when people visit my house! I kinda dance around with joy and sometimes jump up. I am working on keeping personal space and keeping all four paws on the ground when guests arrive.

I guess mostly, I love to snuggle. I just like being around people and when I am near, I like to put my paw on you to let you know I am beside you and just happy to be with you….

Do you want to make me a part of your family forever?

Our process may feel invasive, but we have a lifetime commitment to our dogs. We need to be sure they are going to a home where they will be loved and cared for their entire lives. Therefore, we screen our homes very carefully and we thank you in advance for your understanding.

* Please fill out our adoption application on our website. Once submitted, you will receive a confirmation message once we have received your application.

* When you apply, please let your references know that one of our team members will be contacting them via email/phone. Also, please contact your vet's office and authorize them to discuss your pets' health records with the ECCR representative who will be reaching out.

* We will reach out to you for a personal interview, we will also be checking your references: personal and veterinarian - if you currently have or have had a pet in the last 2 years.

* Once we conclude the initial process, we forward your application to the home visit team. They will get in touch with you to schedule a home visit at your earliest convenience. This process usually takes 1-2 weeks.

* Once your home visit report is reviewed and approved, a member of our team will get in touch with you to discuss the breed/mix, size, temperament traits and characteristics exhibited by your new dog; or offer to match you with a different dog that better fits your/your family's needs.

* Once a dog is selected, you will be in touch with the dog's foster to learn more about your new best friend. If the dog is coming on transport, you will then be given the information to go pick up your dog once adoption fee is paid and documents are signed.

Go meet their pets

We do not have an actual facility. All of our pets are in foster homes. We can offer meet and greet on adult dogs or older puppies only. Please do not email asking about availability as we get tons of email per day and it may take a few days to get back with you. By then, the pet could be adopted. Please submit an application if you are interested in a pet. Thank you!

Our Adoption/Foster Requirements are at www.eastcoastcaninerescue.org/applications

More about this rescue

East Coast Canine Rescue is a 501c3 volunteer and 100% foster-based animal welfare organization dedicated to rescuing homeless dogs.

ECCR is founded by a team of three dog lovers and advocates dedicated to rescuing and rehoming lost, relinquished and abused animals primarily in the Northeast area and Southern half of the United States. These areas present a large number of animals in need. In collaboration with our veterinarian and shelter partners, the rescue is able to transfer these dogs into foster homes that will care for them until their permanent adoptions. ECCR is able to provide food, medical services, preventative care and love to these forgotten dogs who have no other chance at life.
