Adoptable Dogs

2Y 37lbs Lolita is a Russian Shepherd with a hint of Collie in her breed mix, truly a stunning combo. Rescuer told us:. I found Lolita in August 2018 in the town of Tsarevo, Bulgaria. She lived on the streets. I fed her for several weeks and then I was told that, as soon as the tourist season ends, all the stray animals in the town we're to be exterminated. With that, I decided to save Lolita. I took her to a local animal sanctuary since I couldn't take Lolita right away due to procedures needed to move her out of the country. In the sanctuary Lolita was vaccinated, spayed and prepared for the trip. Then I made a return trip to Bulgaria and brought Lolita to Russia. Currently, Lolita lives in a temporary home and is waiting her permanent one. She's a very positive and reasonable dog. Despite her slim body type, she is a very good eater. Peculiarities, Temper, Behavior. Lolita is an awesome dog! Lively, bright and very friendly. She loves her walks and enjoys the company of people of all ages. She very much enjoys belly rubs while laying on the grass with all four legs up in the air. Lolita is absolutely friendly to other dogs. She's not entirely happy to share her treats and will show her displeasure in a quiet growl that never escalates and it happens infrequently, mostly after a long, tiring walk. Otherwise, she is a super positive and good-natured dog. Lolita can't tolerate confined space. So no crate for her--She'll get scared and attempt to break free. Lolita is a fabulous choice as a family dog. Please apply asap.

2Y 45lbs Agnieszka is a Bulgarian Baladi mix. Her rescue story: July 2018 a Russian woman contacted me about her friends finding a homeless dog while on vacation in Bulgaria and wanted to rescue her. I contacted a sanctuary in the city of Burgas and Agnieszka was granted a temporary stay within the facilities on condition that the tourists take the dog back in a short time. While there, she was vaccinated and spayed. Unfortunately, the tourists refused to take her so I had to retrieve her myself while on a trip to rescue Lolita which is how she ended up in Moscow where the 2 girls live and go for walks together. That's why you see both of them in the video. Peculiarities, Temper, Behavior. Like all Southerners, Agnieszka is a footloose sunny dog. Always in a good mood, she is always ready for a good time. Agnieszka is a very human-oriented pup and makes her human companion her best friend forever. She likes to stand on her hind paws and hug! Friendship is very important to her. She is noted to have a very positive attitude as seen in her constant tail wagging. Perfectly friendly with kids and other dogs, she is very intelligent, and sharp, and housetrained. She is a broad-chested, strong dog, the perfect dog for someone who prefers large dogs to lap pups. Apply before this gem is adopted.

Akira at 1y is about 25lbs and may still have some room to grow. She is a super little girl, very friendly to dogs and people/children--not yet sure about cats but we are betting she'll be fine. The vet thinks she is a husky mix and we are guessing possibly some Foxhound...? She was dumped close to the sanctuary in Puerto Rico when she was only 3.months old...not a nice way to start off her life but she's got high hopes once she gets to USA. Please apply for this very nice pupper, speaks Spanish, dog, and English!

10m blind Labby Mac arrives here around Sept 1st from Puerto Rico where he was found wandering on his own. A good Samaritan found him and brought him to a vet office where he has lived in a cage without hope of finding a home. We stepped in and said we'd take him and now are waiting for him with open arms. He gets around fine and is a friendly, playful guy who likes everyone here meets. We think a home with another dog to be his seeing eyes and a yard without too many stairs might be his best choice. Please apply if you think you can give home the love and life he deserves.

NICE Dog in Trouble:((( My family and I had recently noticed a new neighbor on our block had been leaving their female pitti chained up outside all day and night through pouring rain and very hot days with very little food or water surrounded by her own feces. We contacted the police multiple times, but no results. During the recent heat wave, we noticed a child walking the dog and asked if we could talk to the owners...he informed us they went on vacation and instructed him to walk her, feed her once a day. They were leaving her outside in the crazy heat! We got in contact with them and they told us we could keep her while they were gone. They have been back for 2 days and haven’t contacted us about her. She needs to go to a vet, as we think she might have a bladder infection, something wrong with her paw pads and she has chewed her tail leaving a nub. We would love to keep her, but we recently had to put our own dog down after 16.5 years and aren’t ready for another one. We believe she is about 2 years old and seems to be very well behaved. Hoping you guys can help by taking her and helping her find her forever home. We have many more pictures and videos of her from before and after we took her in.

Tripod Shona was found crawling on a street in Jordan. There was something abnormal with her legs...the vet examination showed that she was starving, dehydrated and suffering from multiple severe wounds secondary to crawling. After several consultations with 3 vets, they agreed that Shona's right leg was broken a long time ago and she had a defect in the patellar ligament that prevented her from bending her knee, which affected her other leg due to weight-bearing resulting in bowing the femur. Sadly the surgery didn't work & her leg needed to be amputated. Shona now is healthy, spayed, her wounds healed completely and looking for a warm furever home. Super sweet Shona is lovely, especially with children, and has the best smile. Please apply for our best pup.

3y 65lb Bruno Brunelli is everything we love about the bully breeds: Very friendly, loose wiggly body and a waggy tail. He allowed counselor to pet him and rub his belly. He knows his commands of sit and stay. He allows all handling As per the client Bruno is house broken and friendly towards strangers. He has never bitten or scratched anyone to his knowledge. Bruno will chew up shoes if they are left out--so don't leave your shoes out as chew toys! Best in a home w/ no small children due to his energy, and because he is a big boy, w/ experienced bully adopters who know enough to be the alpha in the pack:) He can be a bit territorial about his toys and food w/ other dogs so we think his ideal situation is a home w/ a yard and access to other doggies for playtime. He definitely is not a city critter. He loves puppies so we consider him the perfect puppy nanny! A volunteer writes: Bruno is a wiggly, playful, sweet bundle of joy! He pulls a little on leash, seems housebroken, sits for treats, and manages to immediately initiate a romance with any tennis ball he finds! I’m not sure I’ve ever met a dog who entertains himself as well!. He play bows with the ball, waltzes with it, rolls on his back with it, eventually chews it up, and then starts the whole cycle with the next one. Just watching him is enough to put a smile on anyone’s face, but he also loves interacting with people (and, so far, other dogs too!). He seems to be one of those dogs who sees a friend in every stranger (the kind of friend he can give kisses to and get belly rubs from!), but I can only imagine the extra-special-lovin’ he has reserved for his family. 11/08/2016 BEHAVIOR AVERAGE Client came to drop off a dog that he stated was left in his apartment by his roommate. Intact, Owner Surrender Previously lived with: Adults SAFER ASSESSMENT: 11/8/16 Look: 1. Dog’s eyes are averted. His ears are back, his tail is down, and he has a relaxed body posture.

When off leash with dogs at the Care Center, Bruno engages in gentle play with male and female dogs. He is sexually motivated but able to continue to play when solicited.

This guy loves to be outside so a person w/ a lot of outdoor time and then snuggly time is his Zazu's ideal home. But he is for EXPERIENCED adopters only, preferably 1-2 people in the home and no children and not a City environment. 5y 38lb Zazu fka Zebracake is a good looking gent, reasonably well groomed and dressed in a lush dark chocolate and black coat. His amber eyes light up his face. His muzzle is very slightly grey, and his mouth opens often into a lovely smile. Zazu is a little shy in his kennel, but gets leashed fairly rapidly. He is a very good walker, marks a little his territory, and eyes the pigeons as well as the squirrels in the park. Well, he is just doing his job, as he is part of the herding group of dogs. Zazu does not mind being stared at by me and the camera. He will sit on command, and is not at all interested in my treats that I thought were quite tasty. He seems to like my caresses all over his body. He is a really very gentle and well-mannered pooch. As we were early visitors at a nearby park, we did not meet many dogs, and those we encountered did not elicit much attention from Zazu. He is an easy going character, friendly, a little shy–at least inside our walls–and a lovely Collie/Retriever mix who is sure to attract connoisseurs of the breeds.
