NYC - Two senior yellow labs need home or rescue!!! very sweet dogs

Meet Tiger. His sister is Sandy. We are trying to help their mom help them. Their mom has lost their home and they have nowhere to go. She is trying desperately to keep from bringing them to the shelter. She has had them since they were puppies. They are 9 1/2 years old. They are a brother and sister from the same litter. She would like to keep them together, but will separate them if it means they get a new home. PLEASE HELP US HELP THEM!! They are playful, and love kids and all people, and I imagine other dogs. They haven't been around cats, but I'm sure they could learn to be. They would make wonderful family members! contact: erica.bruno@novakdruce.com If you are interested in adopting or fostering these two labs!

Pittsburgh PA 13 year old jack russell terrier SNIFFY needs new home

Sniffy is a 13 year old female JRT who needs a new home. Her owner had her from a puppy, but is giving her up because Sniffy "bit" her daughter when Sniffy got jealous of their new, younger dog. Sniffy has to go to someone with no kids, cats or other dogs, and knowledge of the breed would be best for Sniffy. She’s 13 and deserves to spend her final years in a home, not in a shelter where she will be put down. Sniffy doesn’t have much time before the owner’s brother-in-law takes her to a shelter. She comes when she is called or when you snap, clap or whistle. She doesn't steal food from the table, but the floor is fair game. She barks at the door when she needs to go out, she barks to come back in. Still a bit wild, funny and very smart. She will fetch tennis balls. She will not chew or destroy home items or shoes. She knows which are hers. if you can adopt sniffy into a no pet adults only household please email mary.amoroso@bipc.com

Waxahatchie, TX - Tina senior dog left outside needs home or rescue sweet dog

Stacey email: stacey_the_stylist@yahoo.com This is going to be a hard one... I need as much help as possible with this sweetie. This is my neighbors dog, Tina. She use to come over all the time and would just lay In the carport with my dogs. Her new husband would not allow her to bring the dogs inside like they are accustom. So Tina would come over and hang out at my house when she wanted. I fell in love with her. My neighbors are splitting up and Tina has no where to go. She's ten years old and is very good with cats. She hasn't been around other dogs much and is a little grumpy toward them but with some work she might do fine. She is up to date on shots and spayed. She needs a place to live out her years in comfort. She is house trained and super sweet. A little shy at first but very sweet. Please help me find a place for sweet Tina before its too late! She is now located in waxahatchie tx but transport can be arranged. Please email me at stacey_the_stylist@yahoo.com if you can help me place her. Thank you so much. Stacey

Charlotte, NC, little senior dachund "texas" needs new home or rescue now

Dorsey Patrick dcpphoto@aol.com 704-534-6000 Texas needs your help. He was adopted into a wonderful one-person home a number of years ago, and given the best of care and a wonderful life. Now he has Cushings Disease (http://www.vetmed.wsu.edu/cliented/cushings.aspx), and is definitely a crotchety senior. His Mom married several years ago and has a baby now. Texas did not do well with the new developments at their apartment, so I have cared for Texas for a number of months until the family was able to find and buy a house, where we hoped Texas would do better. This has not proven to be the case. Texas is a wonderful boy, but he has most of the symptoms of Cushings, including problems controlling his bodily functions and extreme appetite. He can't tolerate a screaming baby either, as is true with most dachshunds. I am not able to keep Texas on a forever basis because I am a renter, and the floors here are not conclusive to a dog who is part of the time incontinent, so my housing situation is at risk. Both I and Texas' owners are not wanting to see euthanasia as the solution for Texas. He is an affectionate boy who still enjoys life and has a great will to live, already surviving an attack by dogs and several serious illnesses. We hope there might be someone out there with a heart for senior special needs dogs. Texas' owner is willing to proving cost of medicines and vet care for Texas if there is someone who can help him. Please contact me if you can help in any way, and forward to dachshund and senior dog lovers you know. Texas lives in Charlotte, NC (All attached pics are taken within the last 4-5 months) We thank you! Catherine (704)900-7850

Fayette County PA - Cute beagle/basset and lovely lab mix need home or rescue - owner dogs need not go together

CONTACT: Jackie Efrati 412-225-7865 jackieefrati@yahoo.com http://www.animaadvocates.net/ www.facebook.com/animaladvocates Max and Sadie can be fostered/adopted through Animal Advocates. If another rescue wishes to take either of them, that is okay, too. The dogs are not a bonded pair and don't have to be placed together; however, they need to be rescued or adopted by ***Saturday, September 7*** to prevent them from going to the Fayette County SPCA!!! Max is a friendly 9-year-old beagle-basset in Fayette County. His owner's moving and can't take Max and Sadie along. He gets along well with kids and dogs, but we don't know about cats. He's crate-trained and quiet. We all know what his fate will be if he goes to the shelter at his age. We'd appreciate anyone who can adopt or at least foster. Sadie is a joyful 6-year-old lab/shep/collie mix . She's great with other dogs, kids, and possibly cats. She's crate-trained and playful. She's a bit larger than she looks. At her age, a shelter doesn't offer a promising future. We'd appreciate it if someone could at least foster, even if they cannot adopt, her. I just want to add that working with the current owner has been great. He's cooperative and a team player. I really don't want to let this guy down.
