Foster or Adopt Lindy, a female dog left to die in a crate in PA

To say Lindy was treated mistreated is an absolute understatement. She was left behind in a cabin at a campground; left inside a crate no less. No one knew she was there until the campground owner heard wimpering when he was doing a routine check of the grounds. He found Lindy curled up inside the crate. She could barely stand from being dehydrated and malnourished. There is no question she was left to die. That was in mid February. She has been in foster care for one month, and now the foster has a parent who has become ill. She cannot keep Lindy after March 31. Currently Lindy is gaining back her strength and really needs a good home asap. She is no trouble at all. Given her very bad condition it was impossible at first to guess at her age. We now think she might be around 10-12. She weighs about 30 lbs. and is UTD on shots. We are not sure of her breed (possibly whippet mix). She gets along fine with other dogs and just needs a place to rest her pretty head. Can anyone out there help this sweet girl? If someone is willing to foster, PAWS will cover all costs. Please contact kslagle11@email.com.

Three senior dogs need homes - Burlington County Animal Shelter Mt Holly NJ

Lady Bird has arrived......this quiet lady is about 12 years old, weighs 38 pounds and is a Shepherd mix. She came in as a stray and is hoping to go back home and I truly hope no one "just let her out" because they thought she was too old! Lady Bird is a bit shy and doesn't quite know why she is here, so a little scared too. She seems loving and enjoys a slow walk. Please come visit and reclaim this girl or give this lovely mature lady a new loving home.

This is Elsa. It is so sad to see the lost and confused expression of the older dogs who wind up in the chaos of a noisy shelter. Poor Elsa is a senior, very overweight (98 lbs) boxer mix that was found as a stray. We hope her people find her soon. She is friendly and calm, and enjoyed getting outside today. Elsa will need someone willing to give her quiet walks to take off some of that weight, which will make her more comfortable and improve her quality of life. If you have a place in your heart and home for an older gal to spend her golden years, please come and take a look at Elsa. She still has love to give and certainly does not deserve to be in a shelter.

This handsome guy is Duce, a 9 yr old rottweiler. He weighs 92.6 lbs. This poor guy was surrendered by his family. Duce is house trained and leash trained. He is very smart and knows sit, down and paw. He is good with adults and children. Duce is used to being around other dogs. He loves going outside and playing fetch. He is a very friendly dog who just needs a loving home. Please contact John Richardson if you would like to rescue or adopt any of these 3 seniors! you can email him at jrichardson@co.burlington.nj.us

Adopt Jackson, 10 yr old male declawed cat on long island

Jackson is an affectionate, friendly, declawed 10 year old black/brown tiger tabby cat that was abandoned. Jackson has been living on the streets of Long Island, NY for at least a year, maybe longer. he loves to be held, petted, brushed, and have belly rubs. Head butts for more affection. Eats well (dry and wet) and NO litter box issues. Gets along fine with other cats.! As it turns out, Jackson is a very healthy (FIV/FeLV negative, free of fleas and mites, has had de-worming meds.) Jackson is having dental surgery on 3/22. Some teeth will be pulled and the rest cleaned. He will get 10 days of antibiotics. After that, Jackson will be as good as new! Because Jackson was outside for at least a year (and maybe longer), he must be placed in a home that is secure and with someone who will not let him outside. He is still transitioning from outdoor to indoor and requires someone willing to work with Jackson to "re-train" him. He is very vocal about wanting to go outside. meow! He has been through a lot! He needs a new foster or home in early April. Transport can be arranged, but would prefer NY, CT, NJ, PA so that a house check can be done by me when kitty is dropped off. However, all good offers will be considered! please email Patty at peetieb@aol.com if you can help him.

Adopt Two bonded female dogs, Lady and Pixie- Brooklyn NY

Meet Lady – 8 yr SPAYED Lab mix – 67lbs – and her companion dog Pixie – 4 yr SPAYED mutt mix- 33lbs. These 2 ladies are the perfect dogs. They are beyond sweet and VERY bonded. We are trying to keep them together as much as possible. Their owner is very sick and unable to walk them at all. Pixie is as cute as a button and Lady is a gem. Lady looks BIG in her pictures but it is the opposite. She is a very short dog as her height is below my knee. Her only problem is that she is overweight and without a doubt, needs a diet. PLEASE consider these girls!! As per family members, they have been around other dogs and children but NO cat experience. They are both housebroken and are the perfect pooches. No food aggression in the shelter seen. Please email Sean Casey Animal Rescue at nyanimalrescue@yahoo.com to meet them!

Rescue or ADOPT Wendy, beautiful female hound with special needs

Meet WENDY. This 8 year old female hound is just SUCH a sweet dog. She has been with the shelter for a year. Wendy has been alone, with me walking twice a day. She has met two Austrailian Shepherds while walking and showed NO agression at all. During our walk we pass beagles, coon hounds, and shepherd mixes.......NO problems at all. My little beagle has been walking with me and her, and she only wants to play! She has not been living IN a home, unfortunately., BUT since she is the only one in the fenced yard, she can come and go into her kennel as she wants. She NEVER pees or poos in the kennel, always the yard. Three weeks ago she was diagnosed with diabetes and needs insulin injections twice a day. We checked her blood after the first week and it was actually higher, so we increased the insulin and will check her again this week to see if it's leveled out. I have noticed her water intake is down a little, but she still drinks a lot of water. I know if she were indoors she would hold it as long as possible, but a doggie door would be ideal. This past week, she went to our local Tractor Supply store for Adopt-A-Pet. She was a big hit with everyone. She loves kids and especially older men. She rides wonderful in the car. LOVES it. Jumps right in with no issues. She loves her toys, she takes them with us when we go for walks and will lay them down, til we come back past and pick them up again. :-) If you are interested in rescuing OR adopting Wendy please email Pam at pamferrell@wildblue.net

Transport is available to NJ, PA, NY or DE.


This is Shadow.  We are pretty sure this cat is blind or has limited sight. He was abandoned in a cat carrier and left in the street.  who would do something like this?????
He ended up in the pound so I’m looking for a rescue group to take him.
He needs a permanent home with someone who understands the special needs of a blind cat.

Please email Elizabeth at ealrev@aol.com if you can help this cat get a new start in life. 

Rescue needed or adopter for Beetie, 8 yr old female Jack Russell terrier special needs in TN

 amyrs2880@gmail.com is the email contact! 
Beetie is an 8 year old female Jack Russell Terrier picked up as a stray.

Beetie is very special needs and because of this she will be put down if
I can't find a rescue for her ASAP. I have permission form
the shelter to locate a rescue for Beetie, I am determined not to let
this wonderful girl be put down. Beetie was just a bag of bones when
I picked her up from the vet office. She is mostly blind due to
having diabetes. She can see shadows, but that is it. Her diabetes
is regulated, and she can live her full life span with 2 insulin shots
per day (1.5 units). The shots are very easy to give, they are so
tiny, and I give them while she is eating and she never even notices.
Beetie is a couch potato, she would like to live somewhere where she
is the only dog in the house. Beetie is crate trained and spayed.
She attaches very easily to every person she meets! She follows me
around (she might run in to the couch, but she has learned her way
around the house easily!) She is a very quiet dog who just wants to
sleep and be lazy on the couch all day long. She loves to be walked
outside to do her business. This absolutely wonderful girl deserves
for the second half of her life to be a happy one!!
I really need to get her somewhere asap, the shelter threats to put
her down because she is deemed "not adoptable", but she is adoptable!!
How can a sweet girl who just wants to be a couch potato and follow
you around not adoptable?! The reason the shelter sees her this way
is because of her diabetes with the fact that she does not like other
dogs.
I think a good home for her would be one where she is the only inside
dog and no small children (simply because she is too old to be rough
housed with).
Can you please help me? Please let me know then I can make the necessary arrangements to get a copy
of your 501C3 and a vet reference.
Amy
