Leslie

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 2 yrs 7 mos

Bedford, NH

Size

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

This is the year. 2024 the year of Leslie. Leslie spent all of 2023 with us, learning how to be a dog... and how to build a relationship with people, and well... her improvements have been significant. She's come incredibly far, and in the right home, we are sure she will continue to make strides. Let's just get the "pit"-falls out of the way. Leslie has allergies. She's on a prescription diet and medication to help keep her happy and comfortable. Yes, that means it can get pricey, but good news, we know it works. Cars are terrifying. Getting in them to Leslie is asking her to chew off her front leg... which if her allergies are flaring up, she might prefer to do. She is getting more confident walking on the roads, but likes to take coverage behind a bush if overwhelmed. Once she's comfortable with you, she will let you pick her up to put her in a vehicle. We're working on this. Leslie loves to chase. And as such... she would be best in a home without cats or small animals. These are just her natural instincts and those are hard to shut off. Leslie also loves to chase and kill bugs. She lacks the common sense about which bugs might sting her and which ones taste bad...but we love the effort. Don't stand between her and a bug, but also...save her from herself and don't let her get stung! The Good - Leslie loves most dogs. She prefers one-on-one play and does well with dogs that are playful, yet also respectful. She is often in charge of "puppy-sitting" when little ones find their way to the shelter. A well-adjusted, dog-friendly dog already established in your home, would be a dream come true for Leslie. She can be a bit bossy with other dogs, but someone has to take charge. Ideally, Leslie's home would have a fenced yard. She loves to romp and play, and a fence would allow her the freedom to do so safely. It will also help with her housebreaking. She's good about going to the bathroom outside, but on leash...within 6 feet of a human... that's scary. So to help her be successful in her home, a fence would be necessary. Now, Leslie is one of those girls, who is going to make you have to work very hard for her affection. And she will *most definitely* give you judgmental stares. To be judged by Leslie, is to be loved by Leslie. If there's another dog that loves you, her love will become more apparent more quickly. To earn Leslie's trust and to see her goofy side come out is the ultimate gift, and those best gifts come to those who wait. For more information about Leslie or to set up a time to meet her, call the shelter at 603-472-3647 and press 1 for adoptions or email info@rescueleague.org.

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

We know what you're thinking... Yes, Hilda is a Great Dane with a Danish name! This lovable lady is Hilda, and while she is blind, that hasn't stopped her from being the sweet, big goofball we know her to be. Hilda hasn't had the best life before coming to the shelter, but she's ready to make her next home one full of fun and love! Hilda enjoys playing with her toys and romping around the yard. She's quite affectionate, loves to give kisses, cuddle, and soak up all the love she can get. Hilda is looking for a home where she can be the only pet and where she can stick to a consistent routine. Although she is newly blind, she is learning to navigate well and has been learning commands to help her out. A steady routine will be important to help her adjust to her new home. She is looking for an adult-only home. Experienced dog handlers would be a huge plus for this lady as she would have a great deal of learning to do in a new environment. If you're interested in Hilda, give us a call at (603) 472-3647 and press 1 for adoptions to schedule an appointment to meet her!

Story

***Please note: Polly is not at the Animal Rescue League of NH. She is being posted here in hopes of preventing her surrender. For more information, please email caseyleighnimmo@gmail.com Hello there, My name is Polly, but you can call me Pig! My parents love me very, very much. But unfortunately, my big personality has outgrown their multi-dog household. So, I'm on the lookout for a new forever home where I can be the only pup. Now, let me tell you a bit more about myself. I'm an indoor dog (housetrained) and I love to eat. I'm very cuddly and enjoy lazy evenings on the sofa. So, if you love cozy movie nights, I'm your girl! Just be sure to turn up the volume because I might snore a little. Don't get me wrong though, I do enjoy a good play. I'm an avid tug-of-war player and like to chase my tennis ball. I also enjoy short walks, but I can get a bit reactive when I see other dogs. That's why my parents make me wear a muzzle when we're out and about. I should also mention that sharing space with other dogs has been a challenge for me. I get a bit territorial and prefer to be the only pet in the house. I've had a few altercations with another female dog in my household and so my parents decided we better stay apart. If you're looking for a loyal, loving, and goofy housemate who will give you gentle kisses and the best cuddles, then I'm your Pig!

Banana Split

Labrador Retriever

Male, 2 yrs 3 mos

Bedford, NH

Size

(when grown) -

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Banana Split is a pretty silly name yet fitting for this silly boy. Banana Split was trapped about a month ago by GSDR after spotted and avoiding capture for at least a week. He was then held with Londonderry Animal Control with no success in locating an owner. Assumptions were made that he was discarded by his previous family, and that may be true, but we will never know his full story. When I was asked to take this dog, I was prepped that he wasn't so keen on them. I honestly didn't know what to expect. But when the officer opened up the back hatch of the Animal Control van, I was met with a dog who greeted me like we were long lost friends. An initial moment of hesitation, followed by a long stream of toe tapping, full body wagging joy. Both the officers and I were surprised to say the least. Banana Split is a lively guy. He's looking for an adult home, though he does like all of us here at the shelter, he may have some reservations about some people, and will need an adult only home to continue to teach him that he doesn't have to be afraid of new people. Banana Split could potentially live with another dog. He and Leslie are friends. Leslie finds him mildly annoying, so a dog that enjoys some rough housing would be ideal. We don't know how he feels about cats, but could potentially live with them after a slow introduction. Banana Split does know some basic commands, plays fetch like a champion (drops it in your lap --- rockstar) and is an epic snuggle buddy. We aren't sure why Banana Split's last family didn't want him, because there is the making of a great pet in this boy. For more information about Banana Split, aka Splitski, call the shelter at 603-472-3647 or email info@rescueleague.org

Nala

American Pit Bull Terrier Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 1 yr 5 mos

Bedford, NH

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Nala is a beautiful girl who needs a bit of time to get to know people. She is a bit of a nervous nelly, so she needs a patient home with an experienced dog owner willing to go at her pace. She is a fetch rockstar, and once you are besties, she enjoys petting. She may even be open to dog friends. Due to Nala's nervous nature, she should live in a home without children, cats or small animals. We also feel that apartment living is not for her. Despite her quirks, Nala is a fun and playful gal who will make a wonderful addition to the right home. Once she bonds with you, she's stuck like glue! Her face just lights up whenever she sees a friend! If you would like to meet Nala, give us a call at 603-472-3647 and press 1 for adoptions.

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Casper Sebastian will be 4 yrs old on December 7. He came to me from a breeder in Missouri. Casper is a miniature American Eskimo, about 35 lbs. He is a perfect angel 99% of the time at home and at daycare. Casper has several issues: 1.) he lunges and barks at other dogs in the neighborhood, it is fear, leash aggression, however, even with some training I haven’t been able to make much progress. Casper needs additional training and a pet owner that is patient and consistent. 2.) Casper doesn’t come when called. 3.) Casper is afraid of strangers and will bark and growl until he gets to know a person. He has no bad habits. He is very sweet and gentle. He would thrive in a home where he can run, hike, and play. He loves car rides and playing in the snow.
