Adoptable Fridays – Tyson

Posted by & filed under Adoptable Fridays, Submitted.

Hi, I am Tyson. I like parties. Specifically dog birthday parties. Specifically the food and gifts at other dogs birthday parties! Thats me in the green hat, stealing my foster sister’s treats on her birthday.

I am a 3-4 year old malamute x collie boy. I am very very clever, and quite naughty. Although I can be quite good if briibed with the right food. I quite love it at my foster parents house, and love my foster sister, so I tend to sabotage meets. I am scared of little dogs, and take some time to get to know new big dogs but once we’re ok we’re friends for life. I prefer girl dogs to boys (I am a ladies man). I hate cats, and like barking at and chasing birds. I have lost my testicles, and am microchipped and vaccinated and fat and fit and furry. I love children, but especially larger ones who i can play with without knocking them over.I love people and cuddles.Mummy says I am the best foot warmer ever. I live in Adeliade, South Australia, and would love somewhere to live forever where I will be spoilt rotten and maybe have a few kids or dog friends. You can see more about me here.

Adoptable Fridays – Ham Solo

Posted by & filed under Adoptable Fridays, Shoe Shames, Submitted.

I chewed my foster mom’s sandal straps, now they won’t buckle!

Ham-Solo, who we call Hammie, is one of the sweetest pups we have fostered from Home For Good Dog in Berkley Heights, NJ . His fur is mostly black with brown highlights on his head and ears and little white spots on his chin and chest. He is very submissive and rolls to his back whenever my full grown lab noses him. He is adorably inquisitive about how things like garden hoses, training wheels and refrigerators work. He is happy to sit sweetly and let my 4 year old and all her soccer buddies pet him. When walking around the neighborhood people can’t believe how young he is because he is so calm and easygoing.

Adoptable Fridays – Carly

I ate my pet-sitter’s sandwich.
Then, while she was freaking out about that, I snuck up and tried to eat her salad too.

Carly is a two year old, 35lb chocolate mix that Best Friend Pet Adoption in Cary NC. She came to us knowing basic commands and is housebroken. She is sweet as can be….but as we soon discovered, also a very stealthy counter surfer!

Adoptable Fridays – Nemo

Posted by & filed under Adoptable Fridays, Renovation and Redecoration, Submitted.

Hi there! My name is Nemo, but you can call me Nemo the Disemboweler– it’s not shorter, but I prefer it. I absolutely LOVE toys and the more stuffing they have— the better. When I came into rescue with Diamond Dachshund Rescue of Texas, I was so completely bald due to demodex that DDRTX didn’t even know what color I’d be! Now my coat is growing in and I am SO happy to be alive! I am friendly, sweet, playful and good with just about everyone—though, I have to say that I like to be the king of the castle when it comes to other male dogs. I love to cuddle, go for car rides and give out kisses. I am goofy, silly, loving, desperate to please, very smart and full of life and energy. I am fully housebroken but I am working on personal boundaries because I like to be in the middle of EVERYTHING. I would do best in a house with playful dogs and I’d love to have an active family to play with. My foster people say that if you like the fine arts, you should SEE my ballet turnout! They say I am excellent at first and third position! If your household is looking for a new Principle Male—I could fill the position! Please come check out my profile here!!

NOTE: Due to home visit logistics, DDRTX only adopts to families within Texas.

Adoptable Friday – Princess ADOPTED!!!

Posted by & filed under Adoptable Fridays, Submitted.

“I was in disguise!”
Princess was groomed last night. It turns out that under all that fur, she was hiding a stripey body, like a little tiger. She’s even cuter than I suspected. Here are “before” and “after” pictures.

Princess is a sweet, shy dog from Lost Dog and Cat Rescue Foundation in Falls Church, VA. She loves to play with stuffed animals and other small dogs. Once she bonds with her human, she likes to give kisses and cuddle. She is a smart, eager to please girl who has already learned her name, “no”, recall, leash walking, and crate training.
