🆘Gambino needs out of the shelter! He needs a foster, New Hope Rescue and pledges by his deadline on 1/13‼️🆘

This handsome boy entered the shelter on 12/23, as a stray. Gambino was stiff but accepted treats in his kennel then displayed a wagging tail and soft body. 🦮

Gambino has been very nervous in the shelter environment. When staff has taken him out, he remains close to them, trembling with wide eyes and can be seen salivating. He doesn’t engage much, but when being pet, he asks for more. He sits near the handler and will offer his paw. He seems to be fond of people and shows soft loose body language. There are notes of low grumbling but also a note of snorty breathing that sounds like low grumbling. 🐶

Gambino is 5 years old and a big boy at 116 lbs. The shelter has a no children requirement but that will be decided by the rescue that saves this beautiful boy. Gambino needs a foster to make it out alive. Can you help this handsome boy by sharing his post and applying to foster? He deserves a chance. 🙏🙏🙏

A CALL FOR HELP: Rollie has been living in a boarding facility for months 😞. The foster that saved him from the e-list dumped him at a boarding facility. We had to move him to another facility that we trust where he’s been professionally trained. But he can’t continue to live there any longer. Can you adopt or foster Rollie?

🐾Here’s more about him:

Rollie is a 4 year old, 30-lb bundle of love with professional training and leash manners that will impress you! This sweet, bouncy boy is a mix of Shar Pei and Jack Russell Terrier, making him both unique and adorable. 🐶💛

🏠 What Rollie Needs:

A loving home with no other pets 🐾
Older kids (teens+) to match his personality 👧👦
Someone to enjoy hikes, walks, or just relaxing on the couch 🛋️

Why Rollie’s Special:

🚪He’s housebroken, crate trained, and not a barker!
🎓Comes with 3 FREE training sessions to set you both up for success
Friendly, playful, and loves his people ❤️

Check out his photos/videos and apply on our website: https://www.underdogaz.com/adoption-application/! 🐕💕. You can also message us and we’ll tell you all about him.
