One of our wonderful readers, Michelle, sent us a link to this adorable, sweet pup named Chester. He lives in Southold, NY and is being adopted out through the North Folk Animal Welfare League. Chester is still waiting 5 years being overlooked!! He is a sweet guy who loves to lay on the couch. He likes most other dogs.

Callie the adoptable lab steals the hearts of little kids….
…and the food off your counters.
Callie came into Broken Tail Rescue based out of Worcester, MA over a year ago, with thick scars around her neck from being tied up outside. She had never been inside a house, didn’t know how to walk on a leash, had skin and urinary tract infections, wore her teeth (probably from grubbing around in the dirt), etc… but was an INCREDIBLY sweet lady .
Nowadays, she loves going for hikes, hanging out in her crate, meeting new people and snuggling up with kids. She knows tons of tricks and also uses potty bells to let you know when she needs to go out. But MAYBE because of her past…. she can’t let a free meal go by! Notorious counter-surfer Callie will steal your heart, and your food. =)
Callie drew the short end of the stick when it comes to stats for adoption. Black, older adult, lab/pit looks, thinks other pets might be snacks. But the truth is that she’s ridiculously sweet and has a heart of gold, doesn’t act like a senior at all, and doesn’t make a fuss about coming near other animals. She’s just a huge love!
Rosalee is one and a half year old Great Dane, who was surrendered to a shelter by her owners because they were moving. She’s with Harlequin Haven Great Dane Rescue in Bethel, Ohio. She has a congenital condition often seen in blue eyed Danes where her third eyelid covers part of her eye, and the veterinary ophthalmologist says that this cannot be fixed. She is not completely blind, but she is vision impaired. She can still lead a normal, happy life, and she loves to play. She needs a home who understands what is involved in the care of a large-breed dog so she is never homeless again.
Elizabeth Ellis, over at @LizzerTweets is an artist who is trying to promote awareness for rescues. She is currently working on a project where every week, for the entire year of 2015 she will be painting an adoptable animal currently in a shelter. She posts the painting, making a video about it on youtube, tweeting, etc every week. At the beginning of 2016, there will be an exhibition of all 52 paintings at an Ohio art gallery, after which the paintings will be mailed to either the shelter who still has the animal, or hopefully, the family who has adopted the animal. She’s calling it the year of 52 rescues. Go take a look at all the cool paintings she’s done so far! You can also find more artwork over at her blog!
Apple is a 3 yo, 14.1 hand Mustang filly living in Northern Calvert County, MD. She was saved from a home with five other mustangs that were starving to death by Freedom Hill Horse Rescue. Her mother, Takoda, was nursing Apple and another foal while she herself was severely underweight. The other foal’s dam had died prior to the rescue arriving on the scene. Apple has been with us since she was a few months old. She is extremely playful, curious and confident. She has had over 30 days of professional training to get her started with basic ground work skills and the beginning stages of under saddle work and requires an experienced horse person who is familiar working with young horses to further her training.

Here is the info on Joe the cat.
He is with Friends of Rescue in Hunstville, Alabama. He was living in a feral cat colony in Huntsville, Alabama, but he was very friendly so Friends of Rescue decided to try and find him a home. He is FIV positive, so he will need a home with no other cats, or other cats who are also FIV positive.

Macy and Gucci are a bonded pair, located in Cookeville, TN and available for adoption through A.A.R.F. (All About Rescue & Fixin’). When it’s cold Macy (Xoloitzcuintli/Mexican Hairless) and Gucci (Chihuahua) want to snuggle together under their blanket and refuse to get out of bed when their foster momma calls them to go outside. They don’t see anything wrong with staying warm and snuggly, and think it’s totally unfair they are the ones being shamed. If you would love to have these tiny snuggle bugs to help keep you warm and cozy you can read up on them here:
I LOVE chewing! I even chewed up my mom’s mirror! 7 years bad luck? Bring it! The Adorable Destroyer!
Becky Boo though quite the little chewer is sweet as pumpkin pie. Heard the expression “If I fits, I sits.” Well Becky says…”If Its out…it goes in the mouth.” Becky is 2.5 years old and a rescue from the Durham APS brought into Blue Ridge Boxer Rescue. She is only 45lbs but she makes up for that in personality. We are working on jumping and mouthy play and she is learning basic obedience. She gets along well with other dogs and actually listens pretty well. Though like most dogs can get into a little trouble if left unattended. Becky is available for adoption at Blue Ridge Boxer Rescue. Click here for Becky Boo’s profile.
After being a foster for over a year Hugh became a foster failure. Seniors rock!
This adorable cutie is 2 years old, good with dogs, cats, and older kids. He lives in Maple Ridge, BC, Canada and is being fostered by LEASH Animal Welfare Society. He came to us emaciated but he is filling out nicely. He’s a fun boy with a great personality.
Jo’s one minor setback? He loves to pee. Loooooves to pee. He’s been cleared medically so we know he is a healthy boy, and this is something that can be worked with, although we definitely wished he had chosen some other pass-time to enjoy 😉 Currently, Jo has an array of belly-bands that help him not to lift a leg when he’s indoors.
Jo and his wardrobe of belly bands is available for adoption and would love the chance to find a furever home that loves him dearly and is willing to be patient with his love of making the world his own 😉
This young handsome fellow was recently found as a stray but will hopefully enjoy a more pampered future. He lives in Los Angeles, CA and is truly a gentle giant and never puts up a fuss. His Animal ID tag is: 1483115. He loves to be petted and given his choice will spend his time following along as a trusty side-kick. While he maybe a decent size, he is well trained to follow the leash and is the best companion for anyone! He is up for adoption at the North Central Animal Care and Control Center. Please consider opening your heart and home to this wonderful dog, because you won’t find a better one.
