Story
We rescued Sidney from a horrific shelter in Memphis, TN. When we got him, he was skin and bones and had some barrier aggression issues (who knows what horrors he suffered there) It didn't take long for Sidney to realize he was now safe and could start letting down his guard. Sidney Poitier has filled out and is truly a stunning dog. Sidney is about 2 years old, and is at his healthy weight of 80 lbs. Sidney is a very intelligent fellow, he learns quicky and is anxious to please. He will do well with a job and/or a lot of stimulation, long walks and hikes. He will do well with an experienced dog person. Sidney loves meeting new people. He has done well with large dogs he has met, however he is would not be good with small dogs or cats. Sidney does show barrier reactivity, however, when the barrier is removed (whether it is a crate, fence or car window) he show absolutely no issues. Because Sidney likes a lot of activity, he will need a securely fenced yard (must be a physical fence, not an electric or invisible system)  He is neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped and on monthly treatment for flea/ticks and heartworm prevention Sidney is currently located in the Middle TN area but transport is included in the adoption fee for approved adopter If you are interested in Sidney Poitier, email cox_ann@bellsouth.net for an application

Lulu is an amazing and very loving dog. I took her in back in June of 2021 when she was just a baby but in a household that was not taking care of her at all. I stepped up to the challenge since then I have been watching over her. She’s such a sweet pup and I have always strived to giving her the very best life but unfortunately no matter how much I want to I cannot anymore. I have 2 babies now and a full time job and that limits my time with Lulu. It’s hard for me to take her out when she needs to (we don’t have a fence), she’s so deserving of all the love and cuddles but my attention is so limited. She needs a home where she can roam freely and be dearly loved. She’s definitely protective of her territory but she’s very respectful when she’s out of her territory. I wish I can give her the life she deserves but I feel that keeping her is taking away from her having the best life. I’m just looking for a loving home for my girl. She does very well with kids too. She’s a sweetheart.

Story
Poor Bella was seen being dumped by her owner on a commercial street where big rigs constantly are passing through. It took a few days for us to build her trust to bring her to safety in our yard. Full of ticks and fleas we were able to clean her and give her love and attention which by the looks of it she never had love since she had the collar marks embedded into her fur where she had been tied up :( Bella loves toys and gets the zoomies when excited. She loves to run so preferably go to someone with a big yard or an active person. She is always high alert so she is always taking care of the house. She is very loyal to her person and shows how grateful she is to her foster family. She has her own personality and just wants love attention and she is ready to be spoiled by her forever family. * she will need a 6 foot fence * she does get along with dogs but gets jealous about her person *no cats *loves to Play in kiddie pool *walks on leash ok but still learning not to pull Bella Marie deserves a real home and will be your most loyal buddy ever!!! Love me back and that is a recipe for an AMAZING LIFE!! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Calista is a beautiful, crazy, playful, rambunctious 2 year old German Shepherd. Found out in the woods in Rio Grande Valley with her mom and sister fending for themselves and trying to survive the coyotes. She was very skittish when she arrived at the rescue, and at times can still be, but she has come a long way. She gets excited and does a crazy spin in her excitement. She loves playing with other dogs, loves treats and playing with her foster siblings. She really needs a patient person who knows the breed and is willing to work with her and have the dedication to wait until she shows her very silly side :) Her foster mom has learned her secret- treats and smelling like hot dogs/ peanut butter helps! Calista loves other dogs and gets along great with her foster homes pack. She is playful and energetic with them. Sometimes maybe too energetic as she can be an escape artist and find even the smallest of holes in the fence to see if she can fit and make a b-line to the neighbors house! Calista will need to stay local to Texas for the time being. Each day she is gaining confidence and understanding and realizing that people are not all mean and that there ares some out there that really do love dogs and want nothing but goodness for them. If you think you are ready to give Calista love, attention and help her build trust and confidence in herself and you then please apply! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX only)

Owners have enlisted Rescue Well to provide marketing and screening of applicants as a service, free of charge. All fees and adoption conditions are determined by the owner. We advise that adopters do not send payment or deposits for pets prior to adopting.  ***** Lilly is 4yo, weighs 58lbs, is spayed, is up to date on her vaccines, but is not microchipped.  Lilly is good in the car, but is anxious; she dislikes/fears loud noises such as thunder and gunshots.  Lilly's guardian adds:             "She is Ball or Frisbee fanatic. It's all she wants to do.  A friend told me it's a sign of working dog . A complete stranger could Walk up to  Lilly  hand her a ball and she would accept them . That's how I introduce her to others.  Being a Shepherd she is very protective.  I take her for walks on the Antietam battlefield the closer we get to cars people or dogs the more anxious she gets to the point that I avoid confrontation.  My son hugs me and you can see her unrest. She has the anxiety of wheels. Especially byclcles. She did a year ago knock a byclicelest over on the C.O canal.didnt attack him though.                                  We did go through  4 months of professional training.once a week  2yrs ago.  She knows All the commands  She is very smart, but training was cut short because my wife had a heart attack.  We did board her at a large kennel 3 times when we went on vacation.  She was kept away from other dogs.  She is fine with them and at the vets when neither of us are around.  She loves to swim as I have taken her to Antietam creek numerous times.  I believe in the pack mentality and think she's not been totally broken of it. She listens to me but I just don't trust her and I have grandkids and friends and just can't risk it anymore." Lilly's guardian explains why he has made the difficult decision to rehome him:  "I don't trust her that she won't commit another bite or someone or another dog or animal, especially when I'm not around." BITE INCIDENTS:  In April 2022 and in May 2023, Lilly bit a neighbor's dog and guardian's son's friend.  Guardian explains:  "Neighbor's 2 small dogs were on the property border and Lilly attacked one and the dog was treated by the vet.  [My] son's friend, visiting, got close and she bit leg (nip bite on butt and teeth bite on back of leg); treated by us, not by doctor; both incidents were reported to the humane society."  Lilly's guardian states the following regarding children/dogs/cats:  Lilly lives with a cat and parrot, but hasn't lived with children or dogs, so her guardian doesn't recommend her living with anyone but an adult.   Lilly's guardian describes her as: Very active Playful Independent Protective Always at your side Indoor dog Outdoor dog Nervous House-Trained Crate-Trained Lilly's guardian describes her ideal future home:  "I believe Lilly would be best suited for an individual.  She wants to please and does interact great with me.  No matter where we go or do, she wants to follow.  She is playful with so much energy."

Owners have enlisted Rescue Well to provide marketing and screening of applicants as a service, free of charge. All fees and adoption conditions are determined by the owner. We advise that adopters do not send payment or deposits for pets prior to adopting.  ***** Drizzy is 1yr/4mos. old, weighs 70lbs, is neutered, is up to date on his vaccines, but is not microchipped.  "Drizzy knows 'sit', 'down', 'wait' (another command for stay but, we also use it in Spanish - espera) and 'come'.  He does very well during car rides; likes sticking his head out the window." NOTE:  At the behest of Rescue Well, Drizzy's guardian contacted a referred GSD rescue organization and although they don't have room, they've paid for some training sessions for Drizzy and his guardian to attend.  Additionally, his guardian is actively socializing him using proven techniques and so far is successful. Drizzy's guardian explains why she has made the difficult decision to rehome him: "Drizzy is the dog that my ex-boyfriend got me in December of 2022.  We separated in January of 2023 and he took Drizzy. Drizzy is a 1 year and 4 month old German Shepherd Mix.  Drizzy had  been in my ex's care for a year now but my ex decided to enlist in the Navy.  He left for basic training on February 21st, 2024 and Drizzy has been in my care since February 20th, 2024.  I already have a multi-dog household (three) and with Drizzy not getting along with one of my dogs, I'm not able to take Drizzy and give him the care and special attention that he needs because I just do not have the time with 4 dogs and no one else living in my household.  My ex was not able to get a family member to take him before he left. He was resigned to just drop Drizzy off at a shelter but, I know given how crowded shelters are at the moment paired with occasional aggression issues Drizzy has had with people that he has not been exposed to multiple times, I had fears that he would be euthanized so I asked him to give Drizzy to me so I could work on rehoming him myself." Drizzy's guardian offers a brief a medical history:  "Trazadone and Gabapentin for calming anxiety before vet visits." Drizzy's guardian states the following regarding children:  Drizzy has never been around children, so his guardian doesn't recommend his living with children, stating... "Drizzy has never been around children so, I would not recommend at this time that he live in a home with children or where they visit regularly.  Again, because he does not have historical socialization with children and pretty much exclusively with adults, I would not recommend a home with children or where they visit regularly." Drizzy's guardian states the following regarding dogs:  Drizzy has lived with dogs, but his guardain doesn't recommend his living with dogs, stating... "Drizzy has a friendly and playful with dogs that he grew up with as a puppy.  Before staying primarily with my ex, Drizzy stayed primarily in my home that included two large dogs, a rottweiler and a rough collie mix.  Even after moving in with my ex and only seeing my two dogs occasionally, he still maintained a friendly and playful relationship.  While staying with my ex for the last year, he lived with my ex’s cousins’ dog and they had a friendly relationship.  He also had a relationship with a neighborhood dog at my ex’s apartment complex after meeting him on leash multiple times.  However, he would not always be friendly with this neighborhood dog.  Additionally, I ended up with a third dog recently and Drizzy growled and barked incessantly at him until they were separated.  When he sees dogs on walks especially if those dogs are not leashed, he growls a bit and barks and tries to go towards the dog.  I do think that he has the potential to get along with other dogs after repeated exposure to said dog." Drizzy's guardian states the following regarding cats:  Drizzy lived with a cat, but his guardian doesn't recommend his living with cats, stating... "Drizzy has lived in a home with a cat since he was a puppy.  Before my ex and I broke up, I had a cat before she passed away and he was playful and curious with her.  When he stayed with my ex, there was a cat in the home and Drizzy never had any issues besides occasionally wanting to chase.  When he sees stray cats while on walks, he does try to chase but can generally be called away from chasing." Drizzy's guardian describes him as: Very active Barks alot Playful Fearful Indoor dog Outdoor dog House-Trained Crate-Trained Drizzy's guardian describes his ideal future home: "Drizzy’s ideal home at the moment would be one where he was either an only dog, one where there is a younger puppy that he could bond with and teach.  He does love to run around with dogs that he has had the chance to get to know.  He grew up from 8 weeks to about 20 weeks intially with two dogs in my home who even after no longer living in the home, he remembered them after months of separation and maintained a friendly and playful relationship with them.  Drizzy has the potential to have really great relationships with other dogs but, I do think of other dogs are in the home, Drizzy would need a patient mom or dad to work with cultivating a relationship between the two.  Additionally, as Drizzy has only lived with adults and been exposed to adults, I would say a home without children would be ideal.  Lastly, his ideal home would be one where there is a large yard for running around or someone who loves to go on long walks and runs as he is used to being walked 2-3 times a day everyday!  He is very energetic and loves moving around and as such needs the a commitment to either longer walks or a good size yard."

We hide objects as well as people....lol...fun games!!  Whoever gets her, we will also give all her things (crate, leash, toys, food, food bin, etc.)."                                                                          Artemis's guardian explains why she has made the difficult decision to rehome her:  "She is aggressive towards other dogs.  We have other dogs in our home.  She has attacked each of them.  We have paid for great training with her but nothing can be done."  Lunge/attack/bite incidents:  Prior to 22 February 2024, Artemis bit her canine siblings on several occasions; the incident(s) broke the skin; animal control was not involved; unexplained medical attention was administered.  Artemis's guardian explains:  "She has attacked/bitten our other dogs.  They needed medical attention.  She has never attacked or bitten a human." Artemis's guardian states the following regarding children:  Artemis lives with children (ages 13, 15, 17, & 19) so her guardian recommends her living with older children, stating "She is hesitant about small children but has never been aggressive at all to a human."  Aretemis's guardian states the following regarding dogs:  Artemis lives with dogs, but her guardian doesn't recommend her living with dogs, because she's lunged/attacked/bitten her canine siblings on several occasions.

Owners have enlisted Rescue Well to provide marketing and screening of applicants as a service, free of charge. All fees and adoption conditions are determined by the owner. We advise that adopters do not send payment or deposits for pets prior to adopting.  ***** Mack is 1-1/2 - 2yo, weighs 40 lbs, is neutered is up to date on his vaccines, and is microchipped.   Mack's guardian adds:  "Mack has been a great dog.  He is well trained, super loving and loyal but needs a family that can give him the amount of attention he deserves.  He is very well behaved on and off leash.  He will 'come', 'sit', and 'stay'.  He has a 'place' in the house which he will sit at when commanded.  He is familiar with harnesses, compression collars, and remote collars.  This has been difficult to come to terms with because he is such a good dog.  We hope we are giving him a better opportunity to be the pet he is meant to be.  We have spent countless hours walking with him, working with him.  We have hired a trainer to work with him.  All with positive results, we just can't seem to get past his issues with the other dogs in our neighborhood.  We have a senior dog and his nature is to greet everyone and Mack simply has to stay away, which caused major issues on his walks.  He gets highly defensive and when cornered will lash out which has been very difficult for us to control.  Mack is in the home during the day; sleeps in his bed at night; dislikes/fears unfamiliar males, new environments, uncontrolled/unknown dogs approaching him; and is great during car rides." Mack's guardian explains why she has made the difficult decision to rehome him:  "Unfortunately, when walked on leash he isn't tolerant of being approached by other dogs.  With our current living situation this hasn't been easy.  We have a small child and if our attention isn't solely on him we worry that it could lead to a very difficult situation." Lunge/Attack Incident:  In January 2024, Mack fought with a neighbor's dog who entered Mack's yard; the incident didn't break the skin, medical attention was unwarranted, and animal control was not involved.  Mack's guardian explains:  "Our neighbor's dog, whom Mack has had issues with before, was off leash and entered our yard.  Mack barked and backed away but as the dog got closer Mack lashed at him and they fought.  No harm was done to either dog." Mack's guardian states the following regarding children:  Although Mack lives with a 2yo child, his guardian doesn't recommend his living with children, stating "He's a little protective of his space in the house.  We sometimes worry about children that are unknown to him approaching quickly without our supervision.  But no real issues so far". Mack's guardian states the following regarding dogs:  Mack lives with a dog, so his guardian recommends his living with dogs, stating "He has been great with our senior dog.  They met and bonded at the shelter.  They rough-house sometimes but always are controllable and listen to commands when instructed.  He just needs to be introduced in a calm easy manner, ideally off leash whilst the other dog is on leash". Mack's guardian states the following regarding cats:  Mack hasn't lived with or otherwise been around cats, so his guardian doesn't recommend his living with cats since his reaction to them is unknown.

Story
Meet Ranger, the intelligent and active Belgian Malinois/German Shepherd mix with a heart full of love and boundless energy. This handsome boy is a fast learner and has mastered essential commands like sit, down, wait, and shake. He's so clever that he tackled a level 3 puzzle on his first try! Ranger is a well-behaved and well-trained pup, making him a pleasure to have around the house. He's house trained, crate trained, and shows no signs of destructiveness indoors. However, he does experience some separation anxiety when his human leaves the house, which is why he's kept in his crate during errands. But don't worry, when he's playing in the backyard with his furry friend, he's perfectly content and doesn't exhibit any separation anxiety. Ranger is an active boy who loves going on walks, and he'll gladly accompany you on all your outdoor adventures. While Ranger is intelligent and affectionate, he can be barrier reactive, meaning he may react when he encounters certain barriers or boundaries. Patience and positive reinforcement training can help him overcome this behavior. This is very typical behavior for both breeds and he absolutely has to be adopted into a Mali/GSD knowledgeable family/ Ranger was in pretty rough shape when rescued and the vet initially thought he had an intestinal disease. Nothing was definitively diagnosed but the vet believes he has small intestinal issues. He is on a folate vitamin daily and will just need annual lab work and a high quality RAW FOOD diet. Ranger's charm and charisma shine through in the photos and videos provided, capturing his playful and loving nature. If you're looking for a smart, active, and affectionate companion, Ranger is the perfect match. Give him the love and care he deserves, and he'll reward you with loyalty and companionship like no other. Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)

Story
Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Rainier You can probably guess that when I was found and rescued it was raining, it was! However, I was named after the gorgeousness that is Mount Rainier :) I have the highlights and lowlights of the mountain on a sun-cloudy day :) I have a driven personality, not unlike my breed. I am a very medium sized dutchy shepherd and possibly have Belgian Malinois in me as well........and you must KNOW and LOVE the breeds. I make super arm candy, if you will exercise me (and my brain) we will be besties for life! Currently I am living my best life running around green fields of grass with my big radar ears charged and ready to go! You best believe I can hear everything! Better open that bag of treats as quietly as possible or I'll come running in! And I can actually hear you open your laptop to apply to adopt me! HURRY!! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)
