Meet Marley, a one-year-old, spayed female pocket pittie with a big heart packed into a small, sturdy frame. Though petite, she’s strong enough to be a fantastic hiking or walking companion and adventurous enough to enjoy car rides by your side.

Marley has had a challenging start to life, but she’s making impressive progress as she learns the skills she was never given the chance to develop. She is house trained, crate trained, and knows how to sit. Patience is still a work in progress for her, but with consistency and guidance, she continues to improve every day.

When it comes to other dogs, Marley can be selective. She tends to do best with playful, youthful dogs rather than dominant or intense personalities. She has made remarkable improvements in her dog-social skills in just one week, but she would also be perfectly happy as the one and only pet, as it takes her time to fully trust other dogs. She is not cat-friendly, so a cat-free home is required.

Marley has not yet experienced life in a traditional home and is currently residing in our kennel. Due to her past and lack of exposure to children, we are looking for an adult-only home.

Her favorite things? Playing ball, going for walks, car rides, and—most of all—snuggling. Marley is a true 100% cuddle bug who thrives on closeness and affection with her person.

We are seeking a foster-to-adopt or adoptive home for Marley, and a professional trainer is available to support her transition and help navigate any learning curves as she settles into a loving environment.

If you’re ready to help Marley continue her journey toward becoming her best self, please fill out a foster or adoption application at
www.pottersangelsrescue.org today.

“Only Pet” Does Not Mean a Small Life

When a dog is labeled “only pet,” it’s easy to assume that means limitations — fewer experiences, less joy, or a quieter life. In reality, for many dogs, being the only pet is exactly what allows them to thrive.

An only-pet home can mean:
• Peace and predictability
• One-on-one attention and bonding
• Less stress and overstimulation
• Clear routines that help dogs feel safe and confident

And it absolutely does not mean:
• No adventures
• No fun
• No enrichment
• No full, happy dog life

These dogs still hike trails, explore new places, take car rides, learn new skills, play games, and soak up every ounce of love their humans have to give. In fact, many only pet dogs shine brightest when they’re the center of someone’s world.

Being an only pet isn’t a flaw — it’s simply a preference. And honoring that preference is how we set dogs up for long-term success. This doesn't mean the dogs can't have outside the home dog friends. It is just best that they don't live with another dog.

The right home isn’t about how many animals are in it.
It’s about understanding the dog in front of you and giving them the environment they need to feel safe, fulfilled, and loved. ❤️

Update: Adopted

Meet Claire! 🐾

Claire is an 8-month-old shepherd mix with a gentle heart and a shy soul. She does wonderfully with other dogs and even cats, and will need at least one confident dog companion in her home, as other dogs help her feel safe. Claire can be nervous around people at first, but with patience and kindness, her sweet personality shines through. Once she trusts you, she forms a deep, loyal bond. She’s crate trained, but is non-destructive in the foster home and is left out most often. Claire would do best in a calm, understanding household that will let her move at her own pace and continue building her confidence. A home with older children would be best for her. If you’re looking for a tender-hearted pup who blossoms with the help of canine friends and a loving home, Claire might be the one for you. 🐶💕

Paisley is getting ready to help the big guy fly the sleigh tonight! Shes hoping shell find a home along the way! 🎄🎁🎅🏼

Paisley is a one-year-old spayed female husky mix with a bright spirit and a heart ready to bond. After spending her first year of life confined to a crate, this remarkable girl has blossomed into a joyful, well-mannered companion who's eager to make up for lost time.

Paisley is smart, enthusiastic, and always ready for fun. She adores games-especially the flirt pole-and she'll proudly prance around with her fetch "trophies," often giving herself a few celebratory tosses. She walks beautifully on a leash and is quickly mastering her recall. Because of her sheltered start, she's still learning the finer points of being a dog, including polite play manners, but she's catching on fast and making lots of canine friends along the way.

She's not a match for homes with cats (in her opinion, they are excellent for chasing), but she is a wonderful fit for people and other dogs. Paisley thrives on affection and will melt lovingly into you, offering soft kisses and soulful eye contact as if to say "thank you" for giving her the life she always deserved.

Paisley's ideal home includes another dog or two for companionship and a person or family who will bring her along on regular adventures. She's a quick study, eager to learn, and even more eager to love. Once you meet her, you won't forget her.

‼️URGENT NEED FOR FOSTER OR ADOPTER‼️

Meet Rona🐾

• Exceptional with children
• Calm and well-mannered in the home
• Crate trained & house trained
• Non-destructive with her belongings
• Enjoys lounging on the couch or going for walks
• Plays fetch occasionally, but her favorite thing is just being with her people

🌟 Meet Honeybelle — Vermont’s Sweetest Comeback Story 🌟

Honeybelle is 9 years old, 45 lbs, shepard mix, and about 97% pure sugar. She’s lived through more plot twists than a soap opera, yet remains the gentlest, snuggliest girl you’ll ever meet. 💛

In her foster home she’s been flawless: peaceful, quiet, easy, and occasionally acting as the household Fun Police (“Hey you two, keep it down!”). 👮‍♀️🐾 She does best with calm, friendly dogs.

Her dream life?

A comfy couch, a loving human, and a little diva pampering (which she has absolutely earned). 👑✨

Short strolls are great; long hikes are overrated anyway.

Honeybelle is low-maintenance, loyal, and SO ready for her forever home. Let’s get this girl the holiday miracle she deserves. ❤️

🐾 Thank You, Tiki the Rescue Dog🐾

We are incredibly grateful to Tiki for thinking of our foster dogs during their Wishlist Wednesday initiative. Because of their generosity, we received a huge donation of treats and long-lasting chews that will go a long way—especially for the dogs still waiting at the facility for foster placement. 💚
These enrichment items aren’t just treats; they help reduce stress, provide comfort, and improve quality of life for dogs in transition. That matters more than words can say.
We were honored to be tagged alongside so many amazing rescues/shelters (thank you Moon Dog Cafe for thinking of us!), and we love seeing creative collaborations like this make real, tangible impact for animals in need.

From our foster pups to our team—thank you for supporting shelters and rescues in such a meaningful way. 🐶✨

Featuring Marley with all the goodies 🐾 Marley will be posted soon so stay tuned!

🚀 Looking for your next adventure buddy? Meet Buster Brown!

This 2-year-old, one-of-a-kind Staffy mix has one blue eye, one brown, and a whole lot of heart. 💙🤎

Buster is our longest-standing foster — he’s been waiting in foster care for an entire year for his person to find him. 💔
He’s so ready for his turn.

Smart, sweet, and a little bit sassy, Buster’s always ready for action—whether he’s joining you for a hike, a run, a cuddle on the couch, or a new training challenge. He’s currently crushing his Intro to GRC class—already a slatmill champ and now mastering the spring pole! 💪🐾

For those new to Vermont GRC Dog Sports, it’s all about three key values:
🧠 Gameness – a dog’s drive and determination
💞 Relationship – the bond between dog and handler
🎯 Control – the ability to perform with focus and precision
Pretty cool, right? 😎

When adopted, Apex VT Dog Training will sponsor a $750 membership to the Vermont GRC Club to keep Buster’s enrichment and training going strong!

He gets along well with other dogs at daycare, but prefers to keep his favorite toys to himself at home — so he’ll do best as the only pet or with a very dog-savvy home.
No cats 🐱🚫
Kids 10+ due to his excitement and strength 👦✨

🏕️ If you’re looking for a high-energy, big-hearted, slightly naughty best friend to train with, hike with, and grow with — Buster Brown is your guy.
And he has waited long enough. ❤️

Update: Adopted

Meet Twig 🌿🐾

Twig is a 4-month-old hound puppy through and through — bouncy, curious, and nose first into life. If there’s a scent to follow or an adventure to be had, Twig is already on it.

He has that classic hound personality: happy, wiggly, and full of joyful energy, with a bounce in his step and a tail that never seems to stop. Twig is social with everyone — dogs of all sizes, cats, people, and new friends alike.

Still very much a puppy, Twig is learning the world with enthusiasm and confidence. He’ll thrive with continued structure, enrichment, and outlets for that hound brain and body. He is incredibly food motivated and a quick learner.

If you love hound charm, puppy zoomies, and a joyful, friendly companion, Twig is ready to steal your heart.

It is with profound sadness that we share news of the devastating loss of Rylee, a beloved 14-year-old.
If you attended our events it’s quite likely your path crossed with Rylee . Rylee was a kind and gentle soul that the dogs gravitated to. There are no words that can fully express the sorrow felt by their family, nor can they ease the pain of such an unimaginable loss. Our thoughts are with them as they grieve the loss of their child and navigate the days ahead.
A go fund me has been started to support the family. If you can please consider donating. Heather and her family are caring selfless people and any support provided would greatly help. Please share the go fund me on your personal pages and help to support them.
During this time, we ask our community to surround the family with compassion, patience, and support. Most importantly, we ask that the family’s privacy be respected as they mourn.
May Rylee’s memory be held with love, and may the family find strength.
In a world where you can be anything- please be KIND 💕
