Wags

This little pup has too much personality to contain in such a little body! He is about 4 months old and 7 lbs. He would chase his sister (who was adopted) around like mad and now he needs his own home. Wags is very interested in people and will hop around on two legs whenever he gets excited like at play and meal times. He loves to follow his foster mom around the house. He is being fostered with adult dogs. If you keep on a schedule, he will go "do his business" outdoors and will sleep in crate through the night so long as he is in the room with you. (formerly listed as Schnauzer pup)

Scooter

Scooter is very affectionate, a good cuddler, and is good on the leash. He's housebroken, not destructive, calm, gets along great with the other dog in the house, and has no separation anxiety. Other than occasional nervousness with strangers, he's an easy, very sweet dog. He's even a bit of a watchdog. While he looks part Border Collie, Scooter doesn't have the typical BC's high energy level or urge to herd. This loyal boy would enjoy a relatively quiet, female-only, adult home.

Chester

Chester is a very sweet dog who LOVES both people and other dogs. He wants nothing more than a family of his own to follow everywhere. True to his breed, he is extremely playful, smart, and inquisitive so he will need a strong owner to keep his body and mind occupied to keep him out of trouble. Chester is a very quick study at obedience and has mastered heal, sit, come, stay, down, and to give his paw in record time, however, continued training is a must!

Duke

Courtesy Listing - Apply for this dog directly.

Duke is a tri color border collie/lab mix. He is typical to his breed and loves to herd. He is an active and lovable pup. He should go to a home with no children or older children since this breed is not well suited for young children. He is about 2 years old and around 50 lbs? He is neutered and has all his shots. He is also housebroken. Please contact 914 234-3771 or communitycats@yahoo.com to adopt this dog or find out more about him.

Tango

Tango is one of Tara's pups. He is an adorable and loving little guy. As any typical puppy, he loves to play and romp with his siblings.
Thank you Stacy Culver for sponsoring my ticket to freedom!

Scout

Scout and Finley are siblings and very adorable, loving puppies who are about 6 months old. Scout weighs 20 lbs. They are on their way to being housebroken and are very playful and get along with the other dogs in their foster home. Both puppies appear to be non shedders. We are working on walking on a leash in the neighborhood. These puppies are a bundle of energy and are looking for that forever home to give them lots of love that they deserve.

Tara

Tara is a sweet and loving girl that thrives on affection. She came to pet Rescue with her 5 pups and was a good mom to them.

Alice

Alice says, "Let's play ball!" No harm in asking, right?! Alice is wishing for a new home and some toys. Given her temperament and personality, the wait won't be too long. Alice was brought to the Mount Vernon shelter after enduring a painful dog attack. Why is it so often that the gentle ones suffer? Her leg wounds are now healing, and her spirits are high! Alice is sweet as can be. She is calm, friendly, and affectionate. She is young - just 7 months old - and has proven herself to be a near-perfect dog. The terrier in her clearly shows through. Alice is a happy and well-adjusted dog. Her submissive nature lends itself to a home with cats, dogs and kids. Alice should be playing Frisbee, and making the other dogs jealous at the dog park with her head-turning good looks. My guess is her "puppy attitude" will not change even as she grows up into adulthood. Sweet-tempered, intelligent, docile and self-confident, she waits for your queues and wants to be close. This is a dog that everyone loves; there's just nothing not to enjoy about her. Oh - she's a snuggle-type that would certainly help to keep your bed warm at night - no cold feet with this one! Alice is currently being fostered with three other dogs and four cats. Not a problem at all for this wonderful girl!

Sebastian

Sebastian is very affectionate, loves to go for walks, snuggle up with his foster mom and sleeps through the night. Sebastian loves people and gets along well with the two small dogs in his foster home.

Emma

Emma is a 5 year old, mixed breed who probably has some doxie in her. She weighs 35 lbs, is spayed and up to date on all vaccines. She has a beautiful shiny mahogany-red coat that is very eye catching. Emma loves fetching tennis balls, playing with toys and romping outdoors. She is definitely not a city girl and has some sensitivity to loud noises. She would probably be happiest as an only pet with attention directed to her alone (snuggles, petting, scratches and brushings are high on her list). She will reward you with warm kisses and her loyalty. Emma relaxes best in a quiet home where she would have daily walks; she loves the outdoors. Emma is looking for a new home because she was unable to adjust to the new puppy her family adopted.

Tony

Tony is one of Tara's pups. He is an adorable and loving little guy. As any typical puppy, he loves to play and romp with his siblings.

Little Bear

Little Bear is a gentle lab mix with a very sweet nature. He's around 3 years old and weighs around 70 lbs but has short legs and has a stocky built. He as the most adorable face and a constant smile. He gets along with the other dogs and likes to run around and play with them. He would also do well as an only dog in a loving family. He is a very patient dog that will tolerate just about anything and thinks he is a big lap dog. He loves to ride in the car. He can pull on the leash if not under control. He is crate trained, housebroken and sleeps through the night. (LC-4394)

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!

Angel

Courtesy Listing - Apply for this dog directly.

This is a courtesy listing; Pet Rescue has not met this dog
Hi everyone-meet a little "ANGEL"...We named her this because she came to us through a great deal of divine intervention. ANGEL was dumped at a cemetery in East Flatbush...left to die in the cold. Based on the people in the neighborhood, they determined she had been out there a few weeks. With the help of a wonderful animal lover who oversees at the cemetery, we were able to catch her. She has been to the vet and he determined her to be about one year old. She is very sweet. She needs a calm loving person who can help her to trust people again. She should be the only animal so she can be given the individual love and attention she needs. If you can open your heart to this little ANGEL I promise you will receive many blessings. Please email Michelle at angeliquemarlowe8@gmail.com or call 646-528-4234

Daffy

Daffy is a 1 1/2 year old Bull Terrier mix. We couldn't resist taking her in when we saw her wagging her whole body (forget just the tail) at us. This spunky, happy and outgoing little girl made sure we chose her! She does everything right: walks well on a leash, is submissive to other dogs and people, responds to a quiet correction - no yelling needed at this wonderful dog... Daffy loves people and is smart and super sweet. She is learning how to play "human games" and her favorite spot is sitting quietly on the bench next to people. Can you change this hard bench to a soft dog bed in your home? (SB-3785)

Casper

Wow, what a fun day I had in this picture, foster mommy said I am such a good pup, it was toy time at the pet store! Maybe it's cause I love the pups, small children, cats and I'm housebroken too! I'm an easygoing 7 month young male, and I can be yours by emailing Wendy at kit0002@yahoo.com

BJ (Sophie's Pups)

BJ is an awesomely cute, 7 week old shepherd/lab mix who was found outside along with her siblings. He loves playing & wrestling with his siblings. He is incredibly cuddly and approaches everything he does with the greatest of attitude, wagging his tail even when he is half asleep and believe it or not, even when he was being bathed. This group is kind enough to already be paper trained and are a very quiet bunch. They enjoy the other four dogs whose home it is. He would make a fabulous family dog! Please finish their rescuing by giving them a permanent home.
