Story
Meet Russ, a charming canine on a quest to find his FUR-ever home. Discovered at a park in Ponce, Puerto Rico, Russ's story unfolds with a tale of abandonment, evident in his longing gaze. Despite being left behind a month ago from when we found him, Russ carries himself with the grace of a once-loved companion. At around 3 years old and a sturdy 30 pounds, Russ is a picture of canine elegance, displaying the distinctive traits of a brown Carolina Dog mix. His manners are impeccable – he's mastered the art of leash walking and delights in staying close to his human companions. Russ is not just a pretty face; he's a well-rounded pup. Neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, and heartworm negative, he's in tip-top health and ready to bring joy to a loving family. His good-natured spirit extends to children and other dogs, making him a versatile addition to any household. With a love for the great outdoors, Russ dreams of a big yard or even a farm to explore and call his own. If you're seeking a loyal companion to share your adventures, consider making Russ a part of your family. Adopt Russ, and let the journey of unconditional love and companionship begin – because every dog deserves a FUR-ever home.

Satos (pronounced with a short A) are a type of dog rather then a breed.  The name is Puerto Rican slang for “street dog,” but they are also known as Puerto Rican Found Dogs in the U.S. They are the homeless dogs, or urban free-ranging dogs, that live in Puerto Rican cities. Satos are small to medium dogs, usually not more than 35-40lbs. They have large ears that flop, long snouts and legs that seem just a tiny bit too short for their bodies. Their fur varies from a short thick coat to longer, feathery details on the tail and ears. They come in every color imaginable.  November 2, 2024, 11:51 am

Story
Meet Domingo! Domingo is a charming pup, rescued from a shelter in Antigua, thanks to @savethesatos located in Lake Hopatcong, NJ. At just 9 months old, he’s full of life and looking for his forever home. While we’re unsure of his exact breed, we estimate he’ll weigh around 30-40 lbs when fully grown. Personality Traits: Dog-Friendly: Gets along well with other dogs. House and Crate Trained: Sleeps soundly in his crate at night but also loves to snuggle up in bed with us! Training: knows sit but could use more basic puppy training.  Leash Behavior: Walks nicely on a leash without pulling. Active & Affectionate: Domingo is very food motivated and enjoys playtime, but he knows when it’s time to unwind and cuddle. Domingo deserves a family that loves to stay active, ideally with folks who enjoy hiking and exploring with their furry friends. Please note, he does get car sick, so he may need some extra love during travels.

Story
Meet Porsche, A Survivor in Need of a Fresh Start Porsche’s story is heartbreaking, but her future doesn’t have to be. Once a cute little puppy, Porsche’s owner stopped caring for her as soon as she wasn’t “cute or little” anymore. She was tied up 24/7, never taken to a vet, never fixed or vaccinated, and left without food or water for days at a time. She endured abuse and neglect, had two litters of puppies on a short chain, and was in constant fear of being harmed. Thankfully, our Rescue Partners stepped in to save her, just as her landlord began threatening to “get rid” of her and her puppies. Despite the odds, Porsche was rescued and we agreed to take her in. Unfortunately, Porsche gave birth to 6 puppies right before her flight, delaying the process. Due to the CDC ban, we are unable to take the puppies until they are six months of age. We were hoping to get Porsche here before she gave birth to give everyone a fighting chance. Now in foster care, Porsche is learning to trust again, despite everything she’s been through, Porsche is a sweet girl who just wants to be loved, to run and play, and to live a life free from fear. Porsche deserves a second chance. Let’s help her find a forever home where she can thrive!
