Red

Red is an adorable 2 year old Pekingese with a big personality. He is very smart learning the layout and rules of his foster home very quickly. He is living with 7 other dogs and a cat and gets along with all. He greets everyone with enthusiasm and loves to play. He also loves to be held and cuddled. Red is very happy being carried around so he can see everyone at eye level. He sleeps through the night and shares his toys. He does like to have his food all to himself though. At the last adoption day he decided that he had enough of entertaining new people and draped himself over the nearest lap for a nap. Red loves leash walks and car rides. He also seems housebroken. Red would do best in a home with adults and older children due to his size and personality.

Chad is a beautiful retriever mix. He is about 3 yrs old and 50lbs. He is just learning how to be a pet and all things are new to him. He gets along with other dogs, is working on his housebreaking and leash training. He's not so sure of kids, so older children or adults only for him.

Olive

Olive is a beautiful Golden Retriever Mix. She is approximately 1 year old and weighs 75 pounds. Olive came to us very shy of people. She has made a lot of progress in her foster home. She loves to snuggle and thinks she is a lap dog. Olive enjoys going for long walks and running on the beach with other dogs. She would love a home with another dog to play with. She is very sweet and gentle with all dogs. Because of her shyness when meeting new people, she should not go to a home with young children.

Since she can be a bit strong on the leash and at playtime, we recommend she go to a home with older children.

Raisin

Robust and radiant, Raisin is ready to rock! A lab/shepherd mix, this 4 month old female pup loves companionship and is well on the way to being housetrained. Along with her sister, Ruby, she loves to frolic and explore. But once in her pen, she is quiet and snuggly. Raisin is very affectionate and loves giving kisses to people and other dogs. She sleeps through the night but is ready for action in the morning! She is a real beauty!!

Ginger is an adorable 2 year old Yorkie mix about 12 lbs. She's a very sweet dog but can be shy at times and appears to be afraid of men. Once Ginger was comfortable she enjoyed giving her foster mom kisses and sitting in her lap for pets. Ginger is housebroken, good in the car, walks well on a leash, and sleeps quietly through the night in a crate in her foster mom's bedroom. She loves kids, other dogs and cats. She is an escape artist and will run away if doors are left open. She will need a very secure home and fenced yard. She would be a great apartment dog if it's secure and a wonderful companion.

Sabina

"Sabina Ballerina" walks so beautifully on the leash! She was very shy when she first came to her foster home, but now is learning how to go with the flow. She sleeps next to the bed at night, but she would truly prefer to be on the bed, snuggled close. She is perfectly house trained, never once going inside. Sabina is a dutiful watch dog and alerts her people when the mailman comes. Because she can still be a little jittery, she would prefer a quite household (no young children, please) and people who are home with her a lot. Sabina likes other dogs (don't know about cats). She looks a lot like a wheaten-poodle mix. We do not know if she will shed, but she has seen a groomer and her coat is gorgeous. Sabina is much more beautiful in person than in a photo -- her dark features do not photograph well.

Felix

Felix is truly one of a kind. Not only does he have a unique happy-go-lucky personality, but you'd be hard-pressed to find another physique just like this one! He loves everybody and is good with dogs and cats. His first visit to a dog park went well and despite those stubby little legs, he sure likes to run. He's a bit intimidated by pushy dogs and in his foster home, backs away from the cats that don't want to make friends. He would love to have a home where he can get some exercise and play time, but because he's a cuddler it's just as important that he get a lap where he can lay his head. He weighs about 40 pounds and is about 2 years old, and yes he's housetrained. Because he's easily startled and a little sensitive we think he would do best with older children or adults. This little guy has been in two shelters and sold on Craig's List. It's time he got himself a REAL home.

Ruby

Robust and radiant, Ruby is ready to rumble! A aussie/lab mix, this 4 month old loves companionship and is well on the way to being housetrained. Along with her sister, Raisin, she loves to frolic and explore both the indoors and outdoors. But once in her pen, she is quiet and snuggly. Ruby is very affectionate and loves people and other dogs. She sleeps through the night but is ready for action in the morning! She is an adorable puppy!

Jasmine

Jasmine is an adorable 1-2 year old female Otter Hound mix and is 36 lbs. She is a very friendly girl that gets along well with some other dogs. She likes to play and is a very active girl looking for a home that can be active with her and snuggle when the day is done. She can be a little jumpy, so would do best in a home with older children and no cats.

Huckleberry

Huck is a sweet lab mix, about 2 years old and about 40 lbs. He is shy and can be hesitant at first but is a love once he gets to know you. He gets along great with other dogs and doesn't pay any attention to the cats in his foster home. He is housebroken but prefers not to be crated, he sleeps through the night in his foster family's bedroom. He's a little reserved at first and probably won't be best with small children that can be a bit unpredictable at times. Huck needs a home with another dog and an experienced owner that will help him build confidence and be properly socialized.

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!

Bobby loves to sleep soundly through the night next to his foster mom & dad in bed (he's also crate trained). Bobby had an accidental poisoning, and is well now (you have to watch what he picks up). Bobby will need to be on a special dry dog food diet that can be purchased from your vet and monitoring for his kidneys. Bobby is a great little guy and will return your care of him back 100 times over with kisses and companionship he'll give you.

Dodger

Dodger is a sweetheart of a dog and loves being just a dog. He looks like a Pekapoo or Lhasa Apso mix, about 1.5 years old and 18 lb. He has a beautiful soft white coat and the biggest most soulful eyes, too. Dodger loves playing fetch and playing with his foster family of 4 other dogs, he's not sure what cats are for. He's house trained, loves going for walks, and rides well in the car. Dodger is a sensitive dog that can be shy with new things and fast movements. We do not recommend small children, but a dog savvy adopter would be ideal that will show him the world is a safe place. He'll be a wonderful companion for an older couple, vet tech or groomer type of person that knows this breed. Dodger was surrendered, at a very young age, to an over crowded shelter. He didn't have the opportunity to be socialized or to learn how a dog should behave, but continues to improve with help from his foster dog brothers & foster mom. His foster mom thinks he's doing great now; and really wants to please, he just needs a patient person to show him how.

Wally

Wally is an Pomeranian mix, about 3 years old and 20 lbswith an adorable underbite. Wally is completely housebroken, walks well on the leash & socializes in the dog park everyday. He lives in a foster home with 3 other dogs but would be happy as the only one.

Eddie

Eddie is an adorable, affectionate miniature rat terrier 2 years old and 15 lbs. At home he is the perfect gentleman with a low to medium energy, who just wants to curl up with you or sit in the room wherever you are. He is smart, gentle, quiet, housebroken, not destructive, gets along well with my cat and three dogs. He loves to chase squirrels. Eddie will play tug-of-war or catch if you initiate it but what he really craves is companionship. Eddie is quiet and calm in a group of people and/or dogs but barks when he's on the leash and encounters another dog. He is improving with treats and behavior modification training and should be walked alone or with a non-reactive dog, or just let out in a fenced yard. He is gentle with small children but truly bonds with adults; Eddie's ideal home will be with people who are home a lot who will shower him love and attention; he will eagerly reciprocate.
