Amber

Amber is a beautiful Labrador Retriever mix, about 1-2 years old and around 45 lbs. Despite her age, she is very energetic, and acts like a puppy in many ways. She loves to play with toys and run around the yard with her foster siblings. She is very sweet but also very shy. She would love an understanding and gentle family that will help her come out of her shell. She would do best in a family with dog experience and another young, active dog. She loves the outdoors and is very gentle with people she knows and loves. She will need a securely fenced in yard.

Madison

Madison is a beautiful 4-year old Pointer mix, around 60 lbs, who loves being active and adores people. She has a beautiful chocolate brown coat and silky ears. Madison is well behaved and knows all her basic commands (sit, stay, down) and is good on a leash. She is eager to learn and very motivated by treats and praise. Her perfect day would consist of a hike or a long walk, some time with a puzzle toy, and then a good belly rub and cuddle time on the couch. She is best suited to a calm but physically active home with adults/older children only and no other animals as she enjoys being the center of attention. Madison is very smart and would do best with an owner with time home during the day, so she doesn't get bored. She was crate trained as a puppy, but now stays out all day and sleeps on the biggest pile of blankets she can find at night. Madison has a bit of hunting instinct in her and does not get along with cats or small animals.

Cricket

Cricket is an adorable Corgi mix - very sweet! She gets along with other dogs, just doesn't like when they get in her face. She is about 25lbs, has short little legs and pointy ears. She loves to be pet and get all of your attention!

Pepsi

Pepsi is a 7-9 year old female shih tzu with a beautiful coat. She is a quiet good little girl with the cutest face! She is housebroken, loves to go for car rides and walks. All she needs is some gentle love and affection and she would make an excellent companion. She gets along with other calm dogs. Not good with small children due to an injury. She lost her left eye and is blind, so she needs a little extra attention when outside.

Yvette

Yvette is a beautiful lab/shepherd mix, about 40 lbs and 10 months old. She is a little shy but enjoys giving kisses and loves to play with other dogs in the yard. She is very affectionate with the people she knows and trusts. She will need a home with another friendly dog that can help her come out of her shell and overcome her shyness. She will make a lovely companion for any family.

Maggie

Maggie is a beautiful Shepherd mix, about 2 years old and about 35lbs. She has a lot of energy and loves to wrestle in the play yard with Marco. She would be a great dog for hiking or frequent trips to the dog park, as she enjoys being in the company of humans and dogs alike!

Tamba

This handsome little boy is Tamba, a Retriever mix - 3 months old and 8-10 lbs. Tamba is one of the "T" puppies. He is the only male in the litter. He is a little timid so we suggest that he find a home with older children. He enjoys playing with his siblings and especially playing with toys. He is paper trained and sleeps through the night. Tamba is looking forward to finding a loving home.

Penelope

Penelope has an adorable face and perfect body, sort of a hound and a retriever mix with the cutest snout. Her coat is very thick and luxurious. She has very interesting symmetrical markings on her face. In only a couple of days in her foster home she is exploring the home and yard. She comes when called and loves playing with her sisters. Because of her shy nature, we feel she would do best in a home with another dog. She is still a bit reserved but with very little encouragement she is learning to accept hugs and belly rubs. Penelope is about 4-5 months old and 30 pounds so we think that she will be a big girl.

Anyone who adopts Tabitha will enjoy and love her very much.

Kung Pow

Kung Pow is a wonderful little 17 lb boy who has lots of love to give. He was adopted by a very loving family when she was 9 yo and fit in perfectly. This family had a child and then adopted 2 other very needy dogs. Suddenly, Kung Pow was not the only prince in the house and he became stressed. He really misses being the only dog in a lap so the family tearfully is giving him up for adoption. Kung Pow would be a constant companion to an older couple or a quiet family.

Tessa

Tessa is an adorable 4 year old female Schnoodle around 12 lbs. She came to Pet Rescue completely unsocialized with dogs and especially humans. Tessa walks well on the leash, rides great in the car and loves the dog park. She gets along great with the cats and other dogs in her foster home. She loves having her foster home doggie friends as companions, so she must be in a home with another playful dog. She loves to romp around and play with them and take naps. She still is working on trusting humans, but has already come a long way. She is food motivated and loves to get treats. She needs a family that understands her and is willing to continue working with her. Tessa should not go to a home with young children and would be best in a quiet home!

Hailey

Hailey is a beautiful and very sweet girl. She is about 4 years old and weighs 45 pounds. Hailey is completely housebroken and loves to walk and explore, play tug-of-war and fetch, and can veg on the couch at the end of the day too. Hailey knows her basic commands: sit, stay, shake, down, etc. She sleeps through the night (preferable in her foster parent's bed) and follows her foster family around the house hoping for a scratch between the ears or a belly rub. When left alone, she waits patiently on the couch for her people's arrival home. Hailey does pull some on the leash if she sees an animal or another person, but she is learning to correct herself quickly when she does. Since she is a larger dog, and still a little active, it would be best if Hailey went to a home with older children. Hailey would like to be your one and only companion so she can have your undivided attention.

He loves cuddling at home and playing with his toys, but needs at least an hour of playing and running with his doggy friends each day. Jack would love to live with another dog. He would also like a fenced in yard or very close proximity to a dog park where he can run every day. Outdoors he is high energy, but indoors he is a couch potato. He likes kids and would thrive from their attention. He is a hunting breed so no children under 6 and you must make sure he can't get out the door. Jack is looking for a forever family to call his own.

Foster a Dog!

Thinking of adopting but not sure you are ready for the commitment? Want to save a life and be rewarded in wagging tails and kisses? Try fostering and become a part of Westchester Magazine's Best Animal Rescue Group 2008.

Pet Rescue does not have a shelter and relies entirely on the generosity of foster homes to care for our dogs. The number of foster homes we have dictates the number of dogs we can save. There are always more waiting for rescue.

The average foster lasts just a couple of weeks and all dogs are screened for health and temperament. We provide basic supplies, veterinary care, and guidance. You provide love, training and a home. It is the care and attention given by foster families which allow Pet Rescue to expertly match our dogs with prospective families.

If you live in Westchester or Southern Fairfield counties and would be willing to care for a foster dog, please submit an application. Fostering is a fun and immensely rewarding experience! Click here to see how much love you get from being a foster parent!

Lindsey

Lindsey is a beautiful Beagle mix, about a year old very and 30 lbs. She LOVES to run around outside with the other dogs. She runs around like lightening, darting here and there.

Teddy

Teddy is a wonderful 5 year old mini golden retriever, about 22 lbs. He had surgery to fix a herniated disc in March and was left a little wobbly. He may always need to wear a belly band although the surgeon says some more healing will take place. He loves walks and can do about a mile. He wants to be part of the action and joins the family on car rides, swimming and trips to the park. He is able to walk up and down curbs and wide steps but cannot do regular staircases. Teddy is loving and playful. He gets along with all other critters. Even with his challenges Teddy is a very happy fellow.

Dodger

Dodger is a sweetheart of a dog and loves being just a dog. He looks like a Lhasa Apso mix, about 3 years old and 18 lbs. Dodger is a mellow, low energy boy and lives in a foster home with 4 other dogs, but would probably like being in a quiet home. He's house trained, loves going for walks, and rides well in the car. Dodger is a sensitive dog that can be a little shy and react to fast movements. No children should be in the household for that reason. Someone that is dog savvy and knows the Lhasa bred personality would be ideal. They need to show Dodger the world is a safe place and trusting people is new to him. His foster mom thinks he's doing great now; and really wants to please, he just needs a patient person.

He is smart and picked up the routine in the house very quickly. He is very affectionate with his foster family and is always ready to curl up in a lap. Due to his shyness, he should not be in a home with children and would do best in a home with at least one other gentle dog.

Hazel

Hazel is quite a character! She is friendly, adorable, and loving. She can get a little nippy, but not in an aggressive way, if you try to get her to do something that she does not like. She is housebroken and listens well to commands. She knows how to sit, give her paw and laydown!

Darsey

She is mostly housebroken, knows how to sit on command, gets along with other nice dogs (not a rough player) and mainly likes to be around people. She is a bit of a leaner, so be sure you have good footing when you pet her because she likes to 'lean in'

Selma

Selma is a bit of a special needs pup - but don't tell her that. A 3-year-old Gordon Setter mix, she is a calm, sweet and gentle soul who loves everyone and everything. She weighs about 50 lbs. and is, of course, totally housebroken. Her only issue is that she has been diagnosed with a swallowing disorder and needs to be fed only soft food or she is likely to spit up. She gets along great with dogs and cats but if she isn't the only dog in her new home, you'd want to find a way to not tempt her with treats she can't have. She loves to relax at home or go for an easy walk. She is not demanding at all, just sweet and loving with big brown and soulful eyes.

Rhea

Rhea is a gorgeous Redbone Coonhound, about a year old and 35 lbs. She is a bit of a goof ball, acts like a puppy and those big paws seem to just get in the way sometimes! She loves to romp in the yard with all the other pooches and if you get too close, she will plant a big kiss right on your lips! Great dog with a wonderful disposition.
Thank you June Lewis for sponsoring my ticket to freedom!

Rudi

Rudi is a great dog. He is a Spaniel mix, around 2 years old and 30 lbs. He is very sweet and loves to play - he lives to play fetch. He is being fostered with other dogs and cats and gets along with everyone. He has basic training and has started agility lessons and clicker training, both of which he enthusiastically embraces. Rudi needs an active home with another young dog to play with (preferably smaller than he) where people are around. While he is calm in the home, he thrives on activity and is used to going to the dog park 1-2 times a day to play with his friends and foster buddies. He is afraid of kids and will need an adult home or a home with older children.
