Cold tolerance can vary from pet to pet based on their coat, body fat stores, activity level, and health. Very young and very old pets may become uncomfortable more quickly in frigid weather. Therefore, make some adjustments such as shortening your dog’s outdoor walks on very cold days. Be mindful of ice and snow and notice any difficulty your pet experiences navigating the terrain.

HELP! OUR BEAUTIFUL WONDERFUL LUCY NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME BY 1/18!!
Media PA area

Lucy’s awesome foster has to start traveling for work on January 19th so our wonderful girl needs a new foster or forever home by then.
Can anyone help? She’s been through so much

Meet Lucy

Meet Lucy, a 6-year-old coonhound with the world’s sweetest eyes, and an even sweeter personality! This special girl is the whole package—she loves every person she meets, plays well with other dogs, and is an incredibly quick learner. If Lucy were asked to list all of her favorite things, there’d be only two things on the list:
1) Love and snuggles from her humans (this is what she lives for!)
2) Fetch (she’s amazing at it!!!)

She THRIVES with a nice long walk in the morning and another walk in the afternoon, and is content to snooze away at your feet for the rest of the day. Lucy does great with guests—she happily and excitedly greets anyone who comes into the house and calms down quickly. Her foster parents (who are obsessed with her) report that she would do better in a home without cats, but that she has been friendly with all dogs she has met, on and off-leash! They think exercise is key for this wonderful girl—she loves to be outside and is very good on a leash (they’ve been working on this with her, and she is excelling), and is also an IDEAL hiking companion!

Lucy does seem to prefer being the only dog in the home, a little bit of a jealous diva but she does great with dogs on walks etc that she meets. She’s a bit insecure from all she has been through.

Apply to meet sweet Lucy today—this girl is a true gem!!!

You can check out her training and pics on Instagram .

Contact Christine at [email protected] if interested. . She is a beauty and will be a wonderful companion.

RILEY HAS A HOME. THANKS SO MUCH TO ALL WHO WERE INTERESTED IN HIM. WE HAVE 2 OTHER BEAGLES WE WILL BE POSTING SOON.

RILEY IS quite a catch. He has it all. Loves dogs, loves kids, and actually ignores cats. He really can fit into any home. VIDEOS AVAILABLE. RILEY is a year old. A 20 pound pocket beagle. Neutered and up to date on shots. We rescued Riley along with 4 other beagles from horrid conditions, living outdoors 24/7. He is so happy to be living in a loving foster home now getting the love and comfort he deserves. He has a winning personality as he is goofy and playful, but can be shy at first. Beagles love exploring the great outdoors, and Riley does, but he also loves snoozing on the sofa. He's truly a lap dog in disguise and loves to snuggle with his 8 year old human in his foster home. He is crate trained, but doesn't love being in the crate because he loves human contact, dog contact, and just blending in with the family. Please give Riley the forever home he needs and deserves.

Meet ROCKY! Handsome smart lovely boy!
Media PA area

It’s a new year and a chance for a new best friend. Rocky is ready to start a new chapter after losing his home recently when his owner passed away & he was turned into the vet by next of kin to be euthanized. Thankfully the vet refused, and Rocky found his way to our rescue.

He’s currently decompressing in a foster home with two other dogs, where he loves going for walks in the neighborhood, romping around the fenced in yard, and snuggling on the couch. His favorite place to be is right next to you.

Rocky is approximately 8 yrs old & 50lbs. He is crate trained, loves car rides (window down & face in the wind!), has great leash manners (although will pull a bit when he’s excited to meet a new friend) and being a distinguished gentleman, will sit on command before treats and meals. He has adjusted well to a great deal of change in a short timeframe. He’s a smart boy who learns quickly. And looks too! He is a handsome boy with a beautiful soft coat.

He is friendly & playful with other dogs, it’s adorable when he’s ‘corn cobbing’ them! He was friendly with older kids visiting his foster home during the holiday and is an easygoing fella.

Rocky could be an only dog, but would do well with another easygoing dog buddy.

He’s not been fully tested with the kitty in his foster home yet, but so far he has been curious and interested, but might chase. He responds well to redirection & positive reinforcement.

He’s not too interested in toys but loves a chewie, and will playfully toss it around to chase.
He’s fairly quiet, only barking when the geese dare to come too close to the yard, or if he’s excited for his walk and you’re just not getting your shoes on fast enough!

Rocky is a sweetheart despite all he’s been through and would be a wonderful addition to someone’s family. Could it be yours?

If interested in this gem of a boy, please contact Christine at [email protected]

CHIP has rock star power cuz he can rock shades. But his best quality is that he loves down time and snuggling with his fans. His ideal fans would be in a home that can give him lots of love and some patience. Unfortunately, CHIP was attacked by a dog and is now reluctant to play with dogs and can be reactive. Who can blame him. But, true to his loving heart and spirit, he is fine with cats and is actually submissive to them. That's what makes him so special. CHIP was also a rock star in obedience training and knows many commands including: sit, stay, heel, down, and come. He walks really well on leash as he loves to please. We believe his best home would be without another dog or young children. Older than 15 should be fine. CATS YES!!!! CHIP is 2 years old, 45 pounds. Loves to snuggle. He is neutered and up to date on shots. CHIP is in the Phila area. To give him a loving home, please contact [email protected] and submit an application: https://form.jotform.com/230096471132146.

LOGAN, formerly named Gravy, is a handsome beagle, neutered, 5 years old, that needs a patient and loving home due to a very difficult past. He was seized along with Biscuit and other beagles by animal control in North Carolina due to horrid conditions; living outdoors in a pen, 24/7. The Rescue Express pulled him from a shelter and he is now receiving great vet care. He is recovering from Heartworm Treatment and will be ready for his new home in mid January. Logan has a nice personality, good with other dogs. but will need some time and patience to help him get comfortable in a warm loving home. He is up to date on vaccines, but not housebroken. LOGAN would enjoy another dog to play with and someone home, initially, a good amount of time, to help with housebreaking and adjusting to a new lifestyle. Please give this handsome boy a new wonderful future in this coming new year. Application: https://form.jotform.com/230096471132146. Or email Patti at [email protected]

BISCUIT is an adorable mature beagle, 7 years old, spayed, that needs a patient and loving home due to her very difficult past. She was one of the group of beagles that were seized by animal control in North Carolina due to horrid conditions; living outdoors in a pen, 24/7. The Rescue Express pulled her from a shelter and she is now receiving great vet care. She is recovering from Heartworm Treatment and will be ready for her new home in mid January. She recently had a full dental, had her teeth cleaned, and only needed 2 extractions. Otherwise she is in really good shape. She has a sweet personality, good with other dogs. but will need some time and patience to help her acclimate to a warm loving home. She is not housebroken, so would need help with that. She is up to date on her vaccines. Her ideal home would probably have another dog for her to feel comfortable and someone home, initially, a good amount of time, to help with housebreaking and just basically making her feel at home. Please give this sweet girl a new wonderful future in this coming new year. Application: https://form.jotform.com/230096471132146. Or email Patti at [email protected]
