Story
Riley, born in January or February of 2015 is a tricolor, smooth coat, collie/border collie mix with some brindle markings on his legs. He has experienced 2 failed adoptions. He was adopted from us when he was about 6 months old and was returned to us 3 years later when the male member of the adoptive family, who had Alzheimer’s, became abusive toward him. In time he began developing his self-confidence again and began to lose his fear of men. Even though he was still somewhat leery of men he didn’t know, he would actually seek attention from men with whom he was familiar. He got along well with the dogs in his foster home but he behaved aggressively toward any new foster dog that periodically come in. He is not good with cats as he showed aggression toward the clinic cat at our vet’s office. Riley was adopted a second time, but after a year of trying different techniques to manage Riley’s difficult behaviors his second adopter felt that she could no longer handle him and once again Riley was returned to us. He left us weighing 55 pounds and returned, markedly overweight, at 78 pounds. He is now back to a healthy weight. Riley has had extensive training. He is quite smart and learns quickly. He rides well in a car and walks well on a leash unless he meets a dog while out on the walk, in which case he will pull and act aggressively. Riley is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, is heartworm negative and is being kept on heartworm and flea and tick prevention to maintain his good health. Riley is located in Arkansas. His adoption donation is $415 which includes the $165 transport fee. If you would like to adopt Riley, the first step in the adoption process is to fill out an online adoption application. You can find a copy of that application here. We sometimes receive a lot of interest on an animal and can't always reply to each email in a timely manner. An application does not obligate you to adopt from us, but it does show that you are serious about the adoption process. Please remember we are all volunteers. After you submit your application, please allow a few days for a volunteer to review your application. During this time your vet reference will be checked and a volunteer with determine if it is the best match for you and the animal. Applications are not approved on a first come, first serve basis. We match up the best home for the animal, so even if the pet has other applications, this does not mean he/she will be adopted to that home. Once your application has been approved a volunteer with contact you to set up a phone interview. This is the perfect time for you to ask any questions you have about the adoption process and the animal you are interested in

Story
Penny is a gorgeous 2 year old girl, who needs a home that will give her time to adjust as she can be a little nervous.  She is very very sweet, is good with dogs as long as they are not "right in her face" but who likes anyone being right up in our faces!!  She would do best with older children, and would love a fenced in yard to run and play in.  One where she has freedom to relax, lay in the sun, or chase after a ball. Please go to the link to fill our our adoption application.  https://www.remembermerescueny.net/adoption-application  Remember Me Rescue does not adopt out of the local area, no transport is available.  We adopt to Long Island, Westchester, NYC area and parts of Connecticut only. Also, we have a very high volume of applications and we are all volunteers. We cannot respond to every application personally. Please make sure your application gives us a good picture of your family and the life you plan on providing a dog from our rescue. We choose a home based on the BEST FIT for EACH dog and approve on a dog by dog basis. Thank you! ##1789108##

We post our available dogs in states across the east coast and Canada to reach as many people as possible in hopes to find perfect homes and families. We do not transport dogs, families must come to the rescue to meet and then hopefully take home.. MARGO is spayed, rabies, core vaccines, heartworm and tick tested negative, is on monthly flea/tick prevention and was given the 12 month pro-heart heartworm prevention injection in February 2025. She is microchipped and on 12 February weighed 58.20 pounds. She has an estimated date of birth of January 2023. We do not know what the breed is, we expect families to decide looking at any pictures and video's provide and decide if the breed is a good fit for their family. The shelter volunteer stated (8 January) Dog didn't mind the other and made way away from others to relax to self for some time and showed some playful energy with the others once getting warmed up with the group. (16 January) High energy, jumpy, social with people, loose wiggly body, wants to play and run, high energy.

Social with dogs and people, loose wiggly body. Love bug, wants to play, wants to run, solicits pets. Knows sit, shake, energetic, jumper, loves to run interests in dogs leash reactive.  (Rescue comments - it is important to take into account when reading these comments that these dogs are in a strange environment with a lot of dogs, and they are learning about each other in a very small space of time, it is high stimulation environment, also often the first time they have had exercise with other dogs.  Comments are from volunteers, not trainers or behavio rists). We are looking for families that have the lifestyle that the dog needs to lead a healthy, both mentally and physically life, who can afford a GOOD quality food, toys and treats and understand the importance of veterinary wellness checks. MARGO is available for adoption for an adoption fee of $550, as noted she is located at the rescue in Sebec, Maine and families are required to complete and submit an  adoption application and when approved schedule an appointment to come to the rescue to meet and hopefully take home this sweet girl. Applications are processed with 24 hours of them being received.

Story
If you are looking for a show stoppingly handsome, wonderfully friendly, sweet companion, then Sammy may be your soulmate! Sammy came into the pound when his owner could no longer care for him. He lived in an apartment with him and the owner was struggling with mobility issues and could no longer walk well. He was devastated, as was Sammy, but he simply couldn’t care for him any longer. Sammy’s heart was broken to say goodbye to his owner, and then he became so scared when he entered the pound. Even though his heart was shattered and he was scared and confused, this guy was reliably so loving and kind to everyone he met. He gained many advocates during his stay at the pound and fortunately a fabulous foster home opened up with room to take this darling boy in until he finds a home to call his very own. Sammy is 2 years old and weighing about 45-50 lbs. According to his owner, which the vet agrees with, he is a gorgeous blend of smoothie collie, sight/greyhound, and lab. He is leggy and lean, and absolutely adorable! He has since had all of his medical work done including vaccines, heartworm testing, microchipping, deworming, preventative, and he’s neutered. He’s healthy, wonderful, and ready to begin his next chapter! Sammy is truly just such a good dog. He is exceptionally intelligent and so devoted and loving. He is active and he absolutely looooves to run around in his yard and play with other pups! He enjoys being outside in nature and taking in the peace of a cool breeze and birdwatching in the warmer months, and will enjoy a parks in the winter months! He absolutely loves to go for walks and hikes and he does great on a leash! For as much as he loves his time in the great outdoors, this boys favorite is a snuggle under the blankets all warm and cozy with his favorite people. He is always ready for a movie night and enjoys sleeping close to his humans. He’s had excellent manners in the house and much prefers to be free than to be in a crate. He has done well with cats though will try to play, and he has been phenomenal with other dogs. Whether they large, small, male, female, you name it he does awesome in doggy play groups and is so happy to have the companionship of pups! He has a very good natured disposition and is social and loving with everyone he meets. He’ll do fantastic in a home with a nice yard to play in (he would definitely love a doggy sibling!), and with parents who will love to have a balanced life of sofa snuggles, car rides, and walks/hikes. He has a tender, loving heart and such soulful eyes. When you meet him you can tell he truly wants to be the best boy he can be, and that his greatest joy is giving and receiving love. If you’ve fallen for this wonderful guy and would love to make him yours, please visit www.greatdivideanimalrescue.org and submit an application for adoption today!!
