Story
Toby loves to be highly active though he can also relax with his family. He loves his K9 buddies and we feel he'd be happiest in a home with another active dog/ dogs. He's still a young dog and needs love and guidance from his humans whom he wants to please. Toby would probably love to be with older children and have a big secure backyard where he can romp and play with with his family and k9 sibling/ siblings. He is fully vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped. He can travel anywhere in the US and Canada. ##1501938##

Story
My name is Brutus, and I am eight years old. I recently lost my mom, so I am looking for a new home. I have been neutered and am current on all my shots and am heartworm negative. I am on monthly heartworm and flea preventative (Simparica Trio). I am allergic to chicken, but I do very well on lamb based dry dog food. I love to be outside, go for walks, play with my stuffed babies and I am just as happy hanging out on the couch with you. I am not crazy about cats, so I would rather not live with them. I am very smart and easily directed and I am kennel trained but not destructive if given the run of the house. I am basically a happy go lucky kind of guy so if you are looking for the perfect family companion, that’s ME!! Our transport heads to the north east every week. RescueVet transport goes all the way up to Rhode Island, delivering fur friends to their forever homes. Transport fee is an additional $185.00. If you’d like to make this handsome fella part of your family, please follow our link below to fill out an adoption application. https://forms.gle/APKvbgFJcaRvgKgk9

Story
Duke is looking for a new place to call home! Duke is a special dog, and it will take some time for him to build trust with his new family. He`s searching for a calm, loving home where he can settle in and thrive. His ideal family will offer the patience and understanding they need as they adjust to their new surroundings. Once settled, Duke loves to get snuggles from his favorite people and zooming around the yard! Duke would love a peaceful environment where he can gain confidence and trust, knowing that love always comes around for a second chance. If you`re interested in meeting Duke, stop by between 11am-5:30pm.Are you viewing my information on a third party site like Petfinder.com?

Story
** Current Location: in a foster home in South Korea ** • Rescue Story : Meet Beckma👋 a lovable, gentle boy! Beckma's journey started in South Korea, where he was found on the streets at just two months old in November 2021. He and his brother ended up in a high-risk city shelter, but thankfully, they were rescued just in time. While his brother has since found his forever home, Beckma spent his early years in a private shelter with many other dogs. In December 2024, he finally moved into a foster home—and now, he’s patiently waiting for a family of his own! • Personality: Affectionate, Gentle, Calm Beckma is as sweet as they come! He absolutely loves pets and cuddles and has a calm, laid-back nature. Most of the time, he’s happy just relaxing at home, but he does get bursts of playful energy, especially when toys or a ball are involved. He can be a little cautious with new things but warms up quickly. • Affinity with -Cats: Curious when he sees them on walks. -Dogs: Generally good around other dogs, but he prefers smaller and calmer ones. -Adults/Kids: Great with adults! He might need a little extra time to warm up to men. / Okay around kids on walks. • Shedding: 5-7 (1-10 scale) • Food Allergies: None! He doesn’t overeat. • Walking Manners: Very gentle on a leash with no pulling. He used to stop when scared but has become more confident and enjoys exploring. • Housetrained: Fully housebroken - he does all his business outside. • Bath/Brushing: Tolerates baths and enjoys brushing! • Car rides: Experiences mild carsickness but is improving. • Separation Anxiety: None! He's perfectly fine being left alone. • Bark or Howl: Occasionally barks at unfamiliar things at first but quiets down once he gets used to them. • Likes & Dislikes: He loves squeaky toys and walks! / Not a fan of crowded dog areas.

Story
Meet Polly, a spirited pup with a heart as big as her story! Originally from Indonesia, Polly was rescued from a difficult situation and has been thriving in her new life in the USA. This lovable, curious, and independent girl is a joy to be around. She adores her daily walks, romping in the yard, and playing with both toys and other dogs. Puzzle toys, tug-of-war, and porch-watching are some of her favorite activities! Though she’s mellow most of the time, Polly gets occasional bursts of energy (hello, zoomies!) and loves to let loose before settling down for some quiet time. Polly is affectionate with her foster family and loves spending time nearby, whether it’s lounging at the foot of the bed or hanging out on the couch. Polly can be a bit shy around new people and dogs, but once she warms up, she’s full of sweetness and charm. She prefers quieter outings like neighborhood walks and peaceful hikes over bustling crowds or noisy events. Polly has been making amazing progress adjusting to her new life and would flourish with a patient, loving family ready to build her confidence and celebrate her playful, goofy side. If you’re looking for a loyal and fun-loving companion to explore life’s adventures, Polly could be the perfect match for you! My Profile Age and weight: I'm 1 year old and weigh 40 pounds.
