🎶🐾 She’s More Than a Hound Dog — She’s Your New Best Friend! 💕🐾

Meet Daisy (affectionately known as Peanut!) 🌼💖

This adorable little hound girl hasn’t had an easy start — she was sadly dumped by her owner and spent days on the run, scared and alone. 🥹🐕✨ Now safe, groomed, and glowing with love, Daisy is living her second chance to the fullest — and she’s ready to find her forever family! 💫 She is dog friendly and LOVES kids.

Daisy may be “just a hound dog,” but she’s so much more than that — she’s a best friend in the making, a cuddle buddy, a loyal shadow, and a gentle reminder that love heals everything. 🥰🐾

🐾💙 Meet Bo — From Cruelty to Care, Now Ready for Forever 💙🐾

At just 6 months old, Bo survived a cruelty case in Utica alongside two other dogs. When he first arrived, he was severely underweight, infested with fleas, and in desperate need of help. 💔

But even in those first fragile moments, Bo’s gentle spirit captured hearts — especially the heart of the veterinary technician who helped care for him during his emergency intake. That same vet tech couldn’t forget him and later opened her home to foster Bo. 💙

Since then, Bo has been thriving in foster care, steadily gaining weight, confidence, and strength under her loving watch. He’s now fully cleared of medical restrictions and officially ready to find his forever home! 🏡✨

🧬 Best Guess Breed: Shepherd/Hound mix
🍼 Age: ~6 months

🎓 Where Bo Is Right Now

House Training: In progress (smart and very food-motivated!)

Crate Training: In progress (sleeps in a bare kennel with a hard chew and his favorite TV show playing for comfort)

Bo has separation anxiety and is currently supported with medication (trazodone). When anxious, he can attempt to escape crates and chew items, so he’ll need a secure setup and a patient adopter committed to helping him continue learning that being alone can be safe.

🏡 Bo’s Ideal Home:
• An experienced, patient adopter (ideally someone familiar with anxious dogs)
• A calm, structured environment with consistent training and support (RDO can/will provide training support post adoption if wanted/needed by adopter to support a successful adoption)
• Someone who’s home often or has flexibility to help him continue his progress
• A safe space, love, and patience — the things Bo never had before

Bo’s story began in heartbreak — but thanks to compassion, care, and the love of one amazing foster, he’s now healthy, happy, and ready for the forever family he’s been waiting for. 💙

If you believe in second chances and want to help Bo continue his journey from surviving to thriving, please apply to adopt at:

💜🐾 Adopt Penelope — The Happy, Playful Pup (Who Might Be Part Piggy!) 🐷💜

Meet Penelope, a sweet and spirited 5-year-old who’s thriving in her foster home after being found as a stray in Rome. She’s left her kennel days behind and is ready to find a forever family to match her joyful, loving personality!

Penelope is short, sturdy, and totally unique — our best guess is bulldog mix… with maybe a touch of pot-bellied pig. 🐶🐷💞 It’s hard to tell from photos, but trust us — her tiny legs and wiggly body make her one-of-a-kind and completely irresistible.

🌸 All About Penelope:
• 🐶 Dog Friendly: Yes! She gets a little bouncy and excited around other dogs but is all love, no attitude.
• 🚽 House Trained: In progress — doing great with no recent accidents!
• 💤 Crate Trained: Yes! Sleeps soundly through the night and even naps in her crate by choice.
• 🐾 Loves: Belly rubs, squeaky toys, playing fetch (especially with her whiffle ball!), car rides, and cuddles.

Penelope’s foster says she’s full of life and love — a little clumsy, incredibly sweet, and always up for a good time or a cozy snuggle. Whether she’s chasing her ball, snuffling through the yard, or curling up beside you, she’s guaranteed to make you smile.

🏡 Penelope is ready to find her forever home — one filled with laughter, belly rubs, and maybe a few extra snacks for our little piglet-pup. 🐾💜

🎄✨ All Atari Wants for Christmas… Is a Home to Call His Own! ✨🎄

Meet Atari, a one-year-old pittie mix whose only holiday wish is to find his forever family. ❤️

After finding himself at a local animal control, Atari’s world turned upside down — but thanks to Rover’s Do Over, he got a do-over of his own! With the love of his incredible foster family, he’s blossomed into the goofy, affectionate, well-mannered boy he was always meant to be.

🎮 All About Atari:
• 🐶 Dog Friendly: Absolutely! He loves playing with his foster sister and would thrive with another playful pup.
• 🐱 Cat Friendly: Yep — this guy’s cool with cats!
• 👧 Kid Friendly: 100%! He loves everyone he meets.
• 🚽 House Trained: Yes — and he’s even learning to use a bell to ask to go outside (and gets so proud when he does it right!).
• 💤 Crate Trained: Sleeps soundly through the night and during workdays.
• 🧠 Commands: Sit, leave it, go potty, and go to bed — he’s one smart cookie.
• 🐾 Loves: Playing with other dogs, car rides, treats, and couch cuddles.
• 💬 Personality: Friendly, outgoing, playful, and alert (he’ll bark if he hears something unusual, but he’s all heart).

Atari is healthy, happy, and ready to bring warmth, laughter, and love to his forever home. His joyful spirit and cuddly heart make him the perfect gift — not just for the holidays, but for every day after. 🎁🐾

🐾💙 Rocky’s Ready for His Happy Ever After! 💙🐾

Meet Rocky, the 10-year-old Chihuahua mix whose soulful eyes tell a story of resilience, love, and hope. 🥺✨

Don’t let that serious little face fool you — behind it is a happy, loving boy who adores his people and just wants to be near them. Rocky is currently thriving in his foster home, soaking up all the love (and belly rubs!) he can get. He’s living with several other dogs and doing great — calm, easygoing, and quietly confident in the pack. 🐕💛

He hasn’t met cats yet, but we think he’d do just fine. And yes… Rocky’s got a little extra chub to love — which just means there’s more of him to snuggle! 😉🐾

At 10 years young, Rocky is the perfect companion for someone who loves cozy evenings, quiet walks, and unconditional love. He’s well-mannered, low-maintenance, and happiest when he’s curled up next to you, reminding you that senior dogs truly are hidden gems. 💎

This sweet boy has so much love left to give — now he just needs a forever home to give it to. 💙

🌟 Meet Daisy (aka Peanut!), the newest gem in the Rover’s Do Over family! 🌟

This sweet little hound was cruelly dumped by her owner and spent days on the run, scared and alone. But thanks to a determined Good Samaritan who refused to give up, and our hero Beth Shanley who brought a trap to gently bring her to safety, Daisy is now safe, groomed, and glowing with hope! 💖

Rescue truly takes a village—we’re endlessly grateful when compassionate people and organizations come together to turn fear into happy endings. It’s because of this teamwork that Daisy gets a second chance!

Rover’s Do Over has welcomed her into our foster program where she’s getting all the love, vet care, and TLC she deserves. Daisy is estimated to be around one year old. Right now, she’s in a cozy short-term foster home, but Peanut is ready for her FOREVER family—one where she’ll never be abandoned or afraid again.

Daisy can be a little timid at first, but once she warms up? She’s pure love—happily accepting pets and just wanting her person close by. 🐶❤️

🌟 SALLY’S MIRACLE: From Heartbreak to Hope 💖

When Sally was found wandering the streets, she was a ghost of the dog she was meant to be — matted beyond recognition, her teeth rotting and falling out, her mouth infected and painful. She had all but given up. 💔

But then came her do-over. ✨

Rover’s Do Over stepped in and placed her with one of our most loving, longtime fosters, who has shown her what kindness truly feels like. After life-saving grooming, vet care, and a full dental procedure, Sally’s sparkle is back. She’s blossoming with every cuddle, every soft word, every moment she realizes she’s safe.

Now this quiet, gentle princess is ready for her forever castle. 👑

💗 All About Sally:
🐾 Dog Friendly: Yes – she coexists peacefully but prefers calm, low-energy companions or being the only pup.
🐾 Cat Friendly: Unknown
👧 Kid Friendly: Yes – her sweet, gentle nature makes her a perfect fit for respectful older children.
🚽 House Trained: Fully trained!
🛏️ Crate Trained: Sleeps soundly through the night in her cozy “little house.”
💖 Loves: Snuggling, being pampered, car rides, soft blankets, and especially the gentle love of her favorite people (she has a soft spot for women!).
🌼 Personality: Calm, affectionate, quiet, and incredibly loving. She only “speaks” when she’s ready to come in for more attention.

🏡 Sally’s Dream Home:
A calm, patient, and loving household where she can soak up affection and enjoy her golden years in comfort. She doesn’t ask for much — just a warm lap, a cozy blanket, and a heart that understands hers.

🩺 Health Update: Sally’s dental issues are fully resolved — no more pain! She’s healthy, happy, and thriving on soft or soaked kibble.

Sally has endured so much, but she’s proof that with love and care, miracles happen. 🌈

🌟 SALLY’S MIRACLE: From Heartbreak to Hope – This Precious Angel Needs Her Forever Home! 🌟

Found wandering the streets in utter despair, Sally was a shadow of a dog: matted beyond recognition, teeth rotting and falling out, her mouth a painful, infected mess. It broke our hearts. 😢
But RDO swooped in and placed her with one of our most devoted, longtime fosters, who has showered her with endless TLC. After life-saving grooming, vetting, and a full dental procedure, Sally is blooming with every cuddle, treat, and kind word. 💕

Look at her now – a quiet, gentle princess who’s learning to trust again. Proof that every dog deserves a do-over.

All About Sally:
-Dog Friendly: Yes, but keeps to herself. She tolerates other dogs calmly but doesn’t interact much. Best as an only dog or with a quiet, older, low-energy companion.
-Cat Friendly: Unknown/untested – meet-and-greets required.
-Kid Friendly: Yes! Sally is sweet and gentle (no small kids in foster home, but her demeanor is perfect for calm, respectful older children).
-House Trained: Yes ✅
-Crate Trained: Yes – sleeps peacefully overnight in her cozy “little house” with blanket and water.
-Commands: Responds beautifully to her name and is still learning more.
-Loves: Snuggling, soft attention, being pampered, car rides, and YOU (especially women!).
-Personality: Friendly, reserved, quiet, and a total smuggler. She only barks to come inside or when she wants your love.

Sally’s Ideal Forever Home:
A calm, patient, loving home with someone ready to spoil and cherish this precious girl like the princess she is.

Health Update: Sally’s dental issues are fully resolved – no more pain! She has a great appetite and is thriving on soft or soaked kibble.

Sally is an absolute angel who just wants a quiet lap, a soft blanket, and a heart that understands her past.

Could you be Sally’s happy ending?
This sweet senior girl has suffered enough. Now, she’s ready for peace, love, and pampering – forever.
