He”s looking for a forever home with someone who has large dog experience and wants a super affectionate dog to share their life with. This guy wont disapoint! For more info on Sherman please refer to the Pound Dog Rescue website.

Sign reads “I love nothing more than hugs, snuggles and pets. So much for the big scary Rottweiler stereotype”

Adoptable Fridays – JJ

This is JJ and he’s looking for his retirement home! He a 12 years young Pekingese (although some say he looks more like a Tibetan Spaniel) and is available for adoption through Broken Tail Rescue in Worcester, MA. He’s a pretty laid back little guy that likes his belly rubbed. When JJ was surrendered to Broken Tail Rescue, he appeared to be blind in one eye, and there was a prior vet’s recommendation to remove that eye. Since he’s been in his foster home, its been discovered that he needs thyroid medication (very invexpensive), and he seemed to regain some vision in that eye! Even though JJ is partially blind in one eye, and his hearing is not 100% anymore, nothing stops him! Since he’s a “mature” dog, you won’t have to worry about him tearing up your home or having accidents everywhere, but he’s young enough that he loves to go for car rides and for walks with his foster family! JJ gets along great with their other dog and their cat. He don’t like being excessively handled, so a home with adults is really his alley. What he really wants is a forever retirement home that doesn’t see his shortcomings as flaws and promises to rub behind his ears every day!

Adoptable Fridays – Vanna

Vanna is a 2-year-old adoptable pit bull located at Response-a-Bull Rescue in Wilmington, DE. This girly-girl loves to dress up…she fusses when you take off her sweaters and occasionally tries to steal them from you when you DO get them off of her! She’s a sweet-as-pie snuggle bug that just loves to be with people, but she needs to be the only animal in the home. That said, Vanna is sure to provide you with the love of a houseful of animals!

After being in the shelter for a year, Vanna finally went into foster care, but the family decided that they didn’t have time for a dog. Upon returning to the shelter, Vanna was sad and confused. She didn’t understand why she had gone from a crate in the shelter, to a warm, loving home, and then back to her crate. She’s lost the sparkle in her eyes and the spring in her step, and we’re desperately searching for someone to foster her until she is adopted. Response-a-Bull Rescue will provide all food, medical care, and any needed supplies. If interested in fostering or adopting Vanna, please fill out the adoption application located here ( for fostering, in the Dog Name field indicate “Foster Vanna.”)

Adoptable Fridays – Penelope

Penelope is a sweet Boxer mix puppy was scheduled to be euthanized for Mange when M.A.I.N. stepped in to rescue her. She lives in Phoenix, AZ. After just a few minutes, this girl went from scared and alone in a kennel, to wagging her tail and playing like a puppy! She has an amazing spirit and we are happy to be able to help her along her journey towards health and her fur-ever home. Her rescue video and updates are on her page, so please stop by and visit!

Adoptable Fridays – Tiffany

Tiffany is an American Bulldog/American Staffordshire Terrier mix available for adoption through A.A.R.F. (All About Rescue & Fixin’) in Cookeville, TN. She is currently housed in a rescue kennel, longing for a forever home where she will be queen of the castle. Tiffany is very sweet and gentle with children, but has a dominant personality with other dogs. Please check out Tiffany’s profile here, and be sure to watch the video of her playing with her best friend “KONG”! Interstate adoptions are available!

Sweet Tiffany stole the heart of a rescue worker at the shelter who suspected she might be pregnant. As the rescue worked to get her out of the shelter so she wouldn’t be euthanized a series of adventures and misadventures lead to the rescuers and veterinarian believing she was deaf. She was also diagnosed with an ear infection, and after several weeks of treatment we discovered she could hear just fine! Her super sweet temperament is unchanged though!

Samson appeared on Adoptable Fridays last Friday, and found a forever family the very next day! All of us at A.A.R.F. (All About Rescue & Fixin’) appreciate the work you do to help get the word out about these terrific dogs who are looking for love!
