Story
We have our sweet dog for a little over four years. We don't know her exact age because she is a rescue dog. The vet says she about about 8 years old. We got her from a rescue dog/cat organization. She is very sweet and warm. She is also very smart. We took her in to our household when we were in better health. There are two of us who take responsibilities for the dog. However, two years ago family members were diagnosed with Parkinsons; with Raynaud's disease. The Raynauds disease (fingers hurt and get swollen/achy) has been particularly debilitating since its increasingly hard to walk the dog, especially when it get cold. We really love our dog but its increasingly getting hard to take care of her and give her the full love and attention she deserves. We really want to make sure she finds a home where she is loved and properly taken care of. Best to be in a household with adults or young adults (teenagers) as she seems to get excited around smaller children.

Story
Meet Luca #9926: A Shiba Inu Ready for His New Chapter An urgent SOS went out for Luca, a 4-year-old male Shiba Inu who was emaciated, weak, and anemic. Thanks to quick action, medical care, and lots of TLC, Luca has made a wonderful recovery. Now, he’s gaining weight, feeling strong, and ready for a foster-to-adopt home! Luca is a sweet boy who loves being near his person but doesn’t need constant attention. He follows his foster around and enjoys cuddles but also knows how to relax on his own. Luca prefers to have his caretaker’s attention all to himself, so a dog or cat who seeks too much affection from “mom” might not be his favorite. That said, he can coexist with a gentle, submissive dog. Here’s more about Luca: • Dog-friendly: A calm and submissive canine companion would be okay. • Cat-tolerant: He ignores cats unless they get too close to his face. • Housebroken: He alerts when he needs to go outside. If you’re interested in fostering to adopt Luca, please: • Submit an application online at www.lastchanceanimalrescue.org/adoption-request-form • If approved in the past 6 months, reply to your approval email. Questions? Email us at dogs@lastchanceanimalrescue.org. Stay tuned to our Facebook page for updates on Luca and other adoptable pets! Let’s find this sweet boy the loving home he deserves!

DISCLOSURE: The adoptable pets in our program are still in the care and custody of owners who wish to re-home their pet. 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.  ***** Tank is bonded with Rusty, 10yo, weighs 50-60lbs, is neutered, is up to date on his vaccines, and is microchipped.  Tank has free roam of the house during the day and sleeps on the couch or on his bed at night.  There are no issues with Tank during car rides.  He does, however, dislike/fear thunder/loud noises. Tank's guardian explains why she has made the difficult decision to rehome him:  Tank's current guardian is fostering him and Rusty and has been since she rescued them from an untenable living situation in December 2023.  Since their foster provider/guardian already has 2 dogs of her own, she must rehomed them, preferably together. Tank's guardian states the following regarding children:  Tank lives with children, ages birth to 7yo, so his guardian recommends his living with children, stating "Similar to Rusty, he likes to be petted but will typically the just relax/find his own spot". Tank's guardian states the following regarding dogs:  Tank lives with dogs, so his guardian recommends his living with dogs, stating "While on walks, he's not too interested in other dogs.  If living in a house with other dogs, I would recommend calm dogs.  I have two small/more active dogs, and Tank doesn't like when they play". Tank's guardian states the following regarding cats:  Tank hasn't lived with cats, so his guardian doesn't recommend his living with cats. Tank's guardian describes him as: Friendly Likes to be touched Affectionate Independent Protective Always at your side Indoor dog Nervous House-Trained Likes men Likes women Tank's guardian describes his ideal future home:   "Tank gets very excited to go outside, so I would love for him to have a fenced in yard in his forever home.  I would also really like to place Tank and Rusty together.  Tank gets a little anxious/nervous (it took about 3-4 weeks for him to get settled in my home), so a calmer home would be ideal. I would also love to keep in touch/could be a dog-sitter if/when needed." Rehoming Fee:  None Location:  Gambrills, MD***** ADOPTION PROCESS  1.

Story
Waylon is a puppy through and through! He's playful, rambunctious, curious, and so much fun! He loves other dogs and is great with the small kids in his foster home, whereas he pays little mind to the cat in his foster home. He loves being outside - he could spend hours outside - and going on walks. He's working on leash training and house training, but has the crate mastered and sleeps in his crate all night without a peep. This cute, handsome little guy will be the perfect addition to family - maybe yours?

These pups are in Washington, District of Columbia too!

Story
This handsome Eskimo/Heeler mix boy is called Spock and he is a charming  2 year old that is a perfect size at just 45 pounds.  This special, young dog was found as a stray and the lady who found him adored his unique look and wonderful personality.  But sadly this loving rescue lady has had to admit that her health is just not stable enough to give him a long term life and home with her.  She is sacrificing this sweet boy to give him a chance at a forever home that will give him a great life for the next 10+ years.  Spock is very smart, alert, affectionate, loyal and fun dog to have around.  Due to the blend of breeds, he is called an Aussimo – a good mixture of both breeds.  He is housetrained, walks well on a leash, and is a true cuddle buddy. Spock is neutered, UTD on vaccinations, HW prevention, microchipped and a healthy boy.  He is good with children and gets along nicely  with other dogs.  This stunning boy is ready today for his forever home. Please email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrnewengland@gmail.com PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.  Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site.  The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comNovember 5, 2024, 1:27 pm
