How is it that you can be the bestest boy and not get a single inquiry? Gunnar is a 5 year old Great Dane that survived a past of hoarding. Gunnar is now about 110lbs, and we think he could pronounce in the 120 range. This giant boy is the best companion you could ask for. He loves his people, hanging out, socializing, chilling with his dog friends or going fur walks. He’s an awesome pup that seems to know his basic manners, however if you have low counters he has been known to help himself to whatever may be up there. Gunnar is not a high energy pup, and really adores the bond he forms with humans. His loyalty is second to none. If you think you could be Gunnar’s forever family email [email protected] today! #lovethisview #greatdane #adoptdontshop #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #Gunnar
It’s been weeks, and this meek girl id having a hard time turning heads on the adoption circuit. Unfortunately her past has left her emotionally scarred and hesitant to trust humans. Although she is only a year old the trauma still lives with her. It takes Heidi time to adjust to new people, environments and situations. She is friendly with other animals and looks to them for security at times. Heidi is looking for a special home that not only understands her cautious personality, but has the patience to let her decompress and build a bond with each new human in her life. Heidi was one of many in her hoarding home becoming almost invisible, but this girl is now ready to be seen and part of her very own forever family. If that could be with you email [email protected] today! #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #adoptdontshop #savealife #Heidi

Not every shelter pup can enter a home and adapt to their new surroundings with such ease, but Toby is just one of those special pups that was born with a love for family life and all it has to offer, including bedtime stories. His favorite kiddos tuck him in with story, hug and kiss goodnight, as he dreams of a forever family that will soon hold him tight. #adoptdontshop #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #sweetdreams #followthemoon #doglife
From a hoarding house to a beloved home, it will take time but these pups will soon learn what it’s like to be a beloved pet. #adoptdontshop #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #newlife
Every inch of shelter space matters, and every life saved helps the ones coming in behind them. Today these five pups made it safely to NY opening up space for the next group of intakes. A huge thank you to all that stepped up to foster today. These pups only made it out safely because of you! #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #adoptdontshop #newlife #fabfive
Lady is still seeking her forever family! After overcoming a cancer scare, and recovering from heartworm this girl deserves the happily ever after she’s been fighting for. Lady is an 8 year old petite lab mix that thoroughly enjoys lounging on the couch, socializing with anyone that will give her the time and being a companion pup. She has been sharing a home with other canines, feline friends and humans without any issue. Lady enjoys the companionship of other animals and all humans. She’s a pretty low key girl but still has some pep in her step. If you think you can offer Lady the happily ever after she’s been looking for email [email protected] today! #lady #adoptdontshop #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #labradorretriever

Look who was adopted!
Everyone gets captivated by the stories these pups come with, rather it be the hardships of their past or the difficulties of the present. What most do not equate with these stories is the amount of hardwork, dedication, consistency and patience it takes to help set these pups up for a successful future. Coco was abused and neglected for 5 years, this is not something a few days in foster care will ever fix. These issues take months sometimes even years to desensitize and overcome, and even then in most cases there pups need an extra special family that is willing to continue on the journey with them and help them acclimate more each and every day. It is a labor of love that that takes selfless humans to successfully pursue. After 4 months of hard work and an abundant amount of patience in his foster home, Coco finally found that special family that fit him. Congrats and happy tails Coco we hope you continue to grow your bond, trust and happiness in your new family.
Thank you to Christina Coco’s fiercely loyal foster. Although this is not her first behaviorally challenged foster, she certainly went above and beyond for this boy. Because of fosters like her we are able to say yes to the “less perfect” pups and save the lives that would not stand a chance otherwise. This is just further proof that our foster network is made up of the most amazing and dedicated individuals.
We welcomed five pups to freedom today, including Dragonfly & Macco. Thank you to everyone that shared, commented and helped these pups get here. They have officially escaped their shelter crate, and now they start their journey to become forever pups. #adoptdontshop #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #hounddog #underdogs #wonderdog #dogtransport #freedom #dragonfly #macco
