My personality

My story

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

Meet Dozer!
He’s a lovable 1 to 2-year-old Pitbull mix with a heart full of joy. While Dozer faces some neurological challenges that make him a bit clumsy (he loves to go in circles when excited!), we like to think of it as a unique perk that comes with loving him. His quirks only add to his charm!

Dozer was recently diagnosed with Caudal Occipital Malformation Syndrome (COMS). In simple terms, this condition means that his brain grew too large for his skull, causing pressure on his cerebellum. This compression can lead to fluid buildup on his spine, which contributes to his mobility issues. He’s been prescribed medication to reduce fluid buildup and prevent seizures, and he has responded very well to the treatment.

Despite these hurdles, Dozer is a total sweetheart — playful, silly, and a true people pup. He brings endless joy and can’t wait to greet us every morning, along with his kitty pals in his room.

If you’re able to support Dozer on his journey, it would mean the world to us and to him. Thank you for helping us give this sweet boy the care he deserves!

Go meet their pets

To meet our pets we ask that you schedule a time with a rescue member. We do dog/cat meets Monday-Sunday at an agreed upon time. All meets are facilitated on rescue grounds unless a home meet is required. We host adoption events on average every other weekend at our local Pets Supplies Plus.

More about this rescue

At Waiting On A Friend Rescue, our mission is to rescue and rehabilitate animals, and ultimately find them forever homes. We believe that every animal deserves a chance at a happy life. We pull almost all of our animals from the ACCT in Philadelphia. They are one of the few open intake 24/7 shelter in the greater Philadelphia area. We work as a small organization with less than 5 employees. In our first year as a rescue we adopted out more animals than the Philadelphia SPCA and had over 100+ total adoptions. We strive to not only give these animals a excellent forever home but we strive to encourage to community to adopt and educate them on Breeding and the homeless animal crisis.
