Leader of the Rescue Pack

Sully is a year old. He is an American Bulldog Mix. His Mommy was pure American Bulldog and Sully and his brother were taller with longer legs so that is from the mystery Daddy. He's gained weight so I'd guess he's 58 pounds now.

Sully has been in our rescue for a year. He was just a puppy when he came in with his litter and Mom.
I fostered him for months and decided he needed professional training so he had 2 months living with my trainer.
Sully has always been extremely timid. But once he felt safe in my home, my house was his castle. I needed him to be exposed to more than my home with dogs and just me in a fenced in year. So he went off to my trainer who is a man who worked with him one-on-one. Sully now trusts him too and ha gain confidence and training off leash obedience.
This is what Josh, his trainer wrote:

I would recommend he goes to an adult home with people who love and understand dogs. He will require a lot of attention to develop an owner/pet bond. He's willing to please once the bond is developed. He does well with other animals and is submissive. He is a project but he responds to kindness and gentleness and is so adorable. As a foster I will cover all food expenses and any medical he might need. He's a gentle soul who responds to gentleness and TLC.

I'm looking for a temporary foster while I search for his Forever Home.

This sweet girl was adopted from a VA Rescue I work with 5 years ago and lived happily on a farm. Her owner died and the children have moved in with their families and the poor dog is completely unsettled. She is in PA and we are looking for a farm for her to live happily ever after.

Looking for a similar home that she had with her Daddy who died.

Pearl is an outside girl. She is happiest running around all night
long on the farm chasing bunnies and other critters. She spends her
days sleeping in the wood shed or in the sun in summer and on a pillow
by the fire in winter. That is her world. People are present and she
comes for a scratch now and again, but is not a cuddly. By nature, she
is fearful of people. Our family, she trusts and is calm with. New
people arriving; especially with ladders or on tractors, she is afraid
of. Her reaction to her fear is to snap. This is never aggressive. She
never breaks the skin, but she will lunge and snap at a frightening
person and then run off to hide. This has happened on walks with new
people or at the house when a stranger arrives. It can happen if she
is sleeping and is awakened with someone too close. A snap and then
she runs away.

Pearl is a sweet girl though. She is not food aggressive and walks on
a leash nicely for long walks with a gentle leader. She is fine with
our barn cats and does not give them any notice at all. She gets along
well with other dogs. A large property with space to roam and people
who will feed her and be present in the background is her ideal world.

Pearl is 6 years old. She is a hound mix. Medium size. White with some
brown spots. She is spayed and up to date on rabies and flea and tick
medication.

If you have a quiet home with lots of space without children running
in and out unexpectedly, Pearl will be a wonderful addition. No pests
in the garden when she is out all night.

Meet Max who is looking for a Female only household with Children (Whom he adores), or without Children, and with a dog his size, and he'd be in heaven. He's a wonderful watch dog, so he can provide that security for your home. He's a loyal and Gentle boy.

Meet Max, the incredible canine companion who captured our hearts from the moment we laid eyes on him. Max is a magnificent 62 pound 16 Month old bundle of joy with a heart as big as his size. Max has a wealth of love and happiness to offer a family willing to take a chance on him. Max's defining feature is his unbridled enthusiasm and affection.

Max has fostered with me for 2.5 months. I am a single woman living alone with multiple dogs and he is one happy camper in this household. I have determined, even though he did live with a man (whom he loved off the bat) and his family, he is most comfortable with an Adult Female with or without children household. He actually LOVES children. His tail starts wagging the moment he meets them. And he loves to play with dogs his size.

But it is evident that somewhere in his past a man was not kind to him. But this does not manifest itself at all in my household. He met my Male Vet Tech easily with no issues and he can eventually warm up to men but I think in a perfect world he would make a loving companion in a female lead household with children/ without children as a wonderful watch dog. If men do come to the home, it’s easiest just to crate him and he is fine. Again he can be friends with men, but it will take time to nurture it. It’s not complicated and honestly I’m focusing on setting him up to succeed and not fail. He would love a home with another dog or two as he is an uber doggie player but is best with dogs his size which is in the 60s pound range.

He is always eager to shower his human friends with kisses and attempt to curl up in their laps, despite his size. His playful nature is apparent as he entertains himself for hours with toys and bones, showcasing his independent spirit. This big lug's playful demeanor extends to his interactions with other dogs. Max would likely thrive in the company of a canine companion of similar size and energy. During his time with us, Max displayed a wonderful rapport with our kids, bringing joy and laughter to our home. He even has a unique quirk of nibbling ears, adding an extra touch of endearing charm. Max's lovable nature and ability to create a sense of comfort by laying next to you during alone time make him an ideal addition to a loving home. Max is housebroken and fine on the leash. His willingness to adapt to a crate at night is a testament to his good-natured demeanor. Once he is settled, he sleeps through the night without a peep. In conclusion, Max is a beautiful, loveable soul who is waiting for the right family to give him the chance he truly deserves. If you're ready to welcome a big-hearted, playful companion into your home, Max is the perfect candidate. With a little patience and guidance, he has the potential to become a cherished member of your family, bringing boundless joy and love into your lives. Fostering in Norwalk CT ask for his video

Yoshi is losing her family as her Mommy had a baby and Yoshi has not settled in well with the new pack member. It’s a common and sad tale. She is located on Long Island. I am helping them find her the Golden Years Forever Home. She is fully vetted and healthy and will come with her medical historyl

She is the most lovable little dog. She'll snuggle up to you and lay next to you and be your constant companion. For an adult only household she is a gem. She’s thrive with a couple with no children, solo adult or retirees. She has never gotten along with dogs so she’s looking for an only dog household but is fine when walking on leash and there is another dog on leash and you don’t engage, she is perfectly fine. So she is NOT a reactive dog. With a dog like this you need to manage her. Just don’t let other dogs get in her face on walks and if people come to visit, put her in another room or crate. Just keep everybody safe. It’s not hard. The joy she will bring outweighs any steps you take to keep her safe.

She's great on leash and in a car, and in a house or an apartment. She loves being on couches and beds with her people. She is a very well-behaved girl. She’s so deserving of her Forever Retirement Home. She was adopted from North Shore Animal League seven years ago.

Here is Mr. Golden Bachelor, Mikey, who is a ten year old, 54 pound American Bulldog mix whose previous owner turned him into a Kill Shelter. Mikey loves people and is always happy to see you. He also loves to see all of his dog friends in daycare. He has learned a few commands like sit and place and his favorite time of day is dinnertime. But then again there is always the couch at TV Time where he can watch his favorite show “The Golden Bachelor”. He loves to chew on his bones and sunbathe in the garden then when it’s a little chillier he’ll sit by the window and watch the world go by. He is a non barker and housebroken. He is well-behaved and loves to walk on the leash and go for car rides. He is great company and will be a loyal companion. He’s a handsome dude to boot. Ask for his video

Hi Jennifer,

It has been awhile but I wanted to check in on this special day. It was four years ago today that Ruby joined us - thanks to you.

Ruby is nothing short of a gift from God and although we loved the five dogs that preceded her in our lives - she is the best of the bunch by far. We go to the dog park every day with her and everyone there agrees that she is the best behaved and a total sweetheart. Never in a million years could we have imagined a dog as perfect as Ruby.

She has a great life down here going on at least ten walks a day, dog park and beach visits regularly. She is worth everything we do for her. Last December my sisters husband lost his battle with COPD. He was in hospice for ten days prior to his passing and all he wanted was to see Ruby. The hospice allowed her to come into the hospital and go up to the hospice center. When i went to get her she pulled my husband into the lobby directly to the elevator bank where we could access the hospice elevator. She got off the elevator and pulled us toward my brother in laws room. She knew just where he was and jumped up on the bed and kissed him endlessly. It was so beautiful. The doctors gave him little time to live in 2020 but when we moved here and he met her his condition improved. His only wish every day was just to spend time with her and he did. Every time she goes to his house now she goes to the side of the bed where he slept
and gets on the bed. It is so clear that she knows he is gone and that she misses him. Her beautiful disposition keeps us happy and active and busy. She goes everywhere with us.

So thank you for helping us find this beautiful gem in our lives . I follow you and all you do for the animals you save. In the times in which we live right now you are a hero. Not only do you save the animals lives, you enrich the lives of all those you work so hard to find the right dog. This world needs more people like you!

Thank you Jennifer For bringing Ruby to us.
❤️
Penny and Greg
