Story
Please meet sweet and joyful Hollie! Hollie is looking for a low-key home with other dogs. She loves people and attention and enjoys leisurely walks. Hollie is a calm, low energy dog and much prefers to relax on the couch. Since she was a breeder dog for a puppy mill, she needs a patient family who will give her time to become familiar with her new home and routine. She is a little shy to begin with but once she knows you, you have a friend for life. Hollie gains confidence quicker when she has another dog to follow around and learn from. Hollie is good with cats and children and once adjusted, she is an easy and happy girl. Does Hollie sound like a good fit for your family? If so and you would like to know more about Hollie or one of our other rescue dogs please visit our website https://www.joshuafundrescue.org/adoptioninfo and fill out an application form. We adopt to most locations in the US and Canada, East of the Rocky Mountains.

Story
Please meet beautiful Mabel! She has had a busy week with vet visits for a wellness check, vaccines and to be spayed (hence the very stylish vest). Mabel has handled it all like a champ and she is loving all the attention and snuggles, especially from her foster dad!! Mabel is getting along great with her fur siblings and before her surgery, she enjoyed running and playing with her new toys. Mabel is approximating 8 months old, weighs 61 lbs and does well in the car, walks great on a leash and is crate trained. Foster mom said that Mabel is as quiet as a little mouse when she is in her crate. Mabel will make an excellent addition to any family and we are currently accepting applications for this amazing little girl!!

Story
Introducing Dallas!! This gorgeous little boy is only 7 months old so he is still learning how this big old world works, but we are so proud of his progress so far!! Dallas loves to swim, wrestle with his foster sibling Molly, play fetch and love on his foster mom and dad’s grandkids!!! He is a super social little fella with a huge personality!! He has already picked up basic commands such as sit and stay, he knows to go potty outside and he sleeps nicely on his bed next to foster mom. In typical lab fashion stuffed toys don’t last long around Dallas, but when he isn’t having fun, he loves to curl up at your feet and snooze. He is an all-around great dog who will be a wonderful addition to any family.

Story
My niece has a female cane corso, Winnie. It was her husband’s dog but he passed away about a year ago. My niece has medical issues and is no longer able to continue to care for the dog. The dog has not been spayed, is about 6 years old, has not bitten anyone to our knowledge. She comes with papers from the breeder and is registered and up to date on vaccinations. She is being picked up after a hold (while my niece was hospitalized) at North Country SPCA in Elizabethtown, NY tomorrow but we had so hoped she would be released to an adopter instead of her as we wanted to make the goodbye as painless as possible. She doesn’t want to have her put down if avoidable.
