Foster Homes Needed! Do you have time and room in your life for a foster dog? http://www.muttloverescue.org/foster.html *****************   Ranger is estinated to be 1.5 years old and weighs between 35-40 pounds.  Ranger was hit by a car in rural Virginis and taken to the local vet for treatment. He is doing great & despite everything is a real gem. Rescue was requested for Ranger; enter Mutt Love.  Despite being hit by the car and also being a stray that no one came to claim, he is a loving dog and once you meet him, you will agree and hopefully fall in love with him.

Story
Introducing Athena, a charming 2-year-old Shepherd mix who is ready to find her forever home 🐾❤️ While she is on the smaller side for a Shepherd, her personality is larger than life! She is a bundle of energy, with a playful spirit that will keep you entertained for hours. Whether she’s sprinting around the yard or engaging in a spirited game of fetch, her enthusiasm for playtime is contagious. Athena is not just about fun and games; she’s also a wonderfully affectionate companion. After a good romp, you can find her curling up next to you, enjoying those cozy snuggle sessions that make every day feel special. Her intelligence shines through in everything she does, and she has a knack for communication, often expressing her feelings with adorable barks and playful nudges. With her herding instincts, Athena thrives in an active environment where she can channel her energy positively. She’s great with children and other dogs, making her an ideal addition to a family that enjoys outdoor adventures and quality time together. However, she’s not a fan of feline friends, so a cat-free home would be best for her. Given her herding tendencies, it’s important for Athena to be in a home with children aged 4 and up, where she can interact safely and enjoyably. This bright and playful pup would love to be part of a family that can provide her with the physical and mental stimulation she craves. If you’re searching for a loyal and spirited companion who will bring joy and laughter into your life, Athena is the perfect match for you. Help her find the loving forever home she deserves, where she can continue to grow, play, and snuggle her way into your heart! ❤️ RPACI is a non profit rescue, and currently possess our 501C3 to operate as such. Please visit us on Facebook: Rebecca's Paws and Claws in Remlap and our website: www.rpacirescue.org. All dogs from this rescue are transported from Alabama to the Pennsylvania/ New England/ Virginia area and delivered in Pennsylvania, Virginia and RI. Each dog will come fully vetted. Price also includes transportation and a Health Certificate as required by law. There is a 100.00 deposit required at the time of adoption to secure the transport crate. The remainder of the fee will be paid once you pick up the dog. Naturally the 100.00 comes off the total owed at pick up. It will be refunded if for any reason you decide you do not want to adopt, unless the transport has already left.with the dog. To get a application please email: saveapreciouspaw@gmail.com You can also visit our website Rpacirescue.org to fill out an adoption application

Story
Edgar Hi, I’m Edgar! I’m a 2.5 year old German shepherd/black mouth cur mix of a slender build, weighing in at 56 pounds. I enjoy long walks anywhere! Walks are so fun and my foster parents say I walk well with a harness! However, if we don’t have time for a walk, you can just let me out in the yard to do my business and I will come right back. I am a great listener and very obedient! Some other things I love are running around at the dog park (I get zoomies there 🤪), chew toys, bones, treats, giving side eye, and meeting new people. Actually, that brings me to what I love most— people! I’m a cuddly guy who’s always down to curl up on the couch with the humans. I’ll greet them with one of my signature hugs and give them hugs throughout the day. And don’t worry, if they’re not giving me enough pets, I’ll nudge them to let them know (never enough pets). My foster parents would describe me as a quiet guy. I’ll bark once or twice when I hear someone at the door or see the UPS truck approaching, but that’s what good guard dogs do, right? Otherwise, I’m a chill, medium-energy guy. I’m fine with other dogs once I’m introduced to them but don’t really like when they try to take my toys or play too rough with me. You could say sharing is not one of my strengths. For that reason, my foster parents think I’d do best in a home where I’m the only dog. I promise to love my new parents with all my heart and I don’t think it’ll take long for them to feel the same way (I won my foster parents over pretty quickly). I can’t wait to find my forever home!!

Gem, who has been going by the name 'Luna' is such a fun and playful girl. She loves running in her fosters' backyard, chasing balls, squirrels and sticks. She loves playing with other dogs and is very friendly with people. However, she can be scared and anxious of new situations and sounds, which can make walking her difficult. She would love to find a forever home with a fenced yard and another playful dog to play with. Thank you for your interest in Gem!

Bodie is such a loveable dog! He is a little shy when he first meets someone new but always sweet and gentle. Once he knows you (and it does not take long) his full personality is on display: Friendly, playful, and happy! Bodie loves other dogs and would be a great companion to someone with another playful dog. But he would also be happy in a home without another dog. He is very clean in his kennel so we believe he would be housetrained. Let us know if you would like to meet Bodie. Thank you for your interest in Bodie! Please visit www.hart90.org/petdetail.aspx?ID=18425 to get the most up-to-date and accurate information on this pet, to email the contact person listed for more information and how to meet Bodie, or to submit an online application.

She’s an amazing dog. Everyone we have met adores her. She’s extremely sweet, kind, loving, and affectionate. We’ve had her for two years but we are moving and no longer are able to keep her. This breaks my heart but I want to find someone who can love her as much as we do. She’s 6 and still has a lot of energy and excitement. She does have separation anxiety but has never been destructive or anything like that. Usually just crying and whimpering.
