Pinta

Pinta - meaning "Painted One" is sure to paint a smile on your face just watching her play by herself. She loves to toss her stuffed toy in the air, run like the wind and catch it with her paws or hold it in her mouth as she rolls around in the grass. We don't know much about her past but what we do know is that Pinta lived on a chain down south. As a result, she did not have much exposure to people, places or things. A number of volunteers have worked wonders with Pinta and is doing much better when meeting strangers. She is approximately 3 yrs old, 55lbs., housebroken, knows basic commands and has recently worked with a certified trainer in mastering her leash commands. Pinta is a beautiful Lab/Husky mix who would do best in a quiet adult only home without cats and you should know she does love to chase her squirrel friends. Please only apply for Pinta if you have prior dog experience. She would not be good for a first time dog owner since she needs ongoing training with an experienced handler. A home in the country, a couple of 1/2 hour walks a day and a yard and she is set to go. Pinta settles in nicely and likes to hang out in a quiet setting, this type of home seems to suit her needs nicely and she will give you lots of kisses in return. Once she is secure with her human companion, she is your best friend.

Honeycup

Honeycup is an adorable Beagle, about 2-3 yrs old. She is very sweet and gentle but quite shy. She is fine with other dogs & walks well on the leash. She could stand to lose a few pounds but can't we all?

Marla

Marla is a mini chocolate lab mix, about 1 1/2 years old and around 35 lbs. She is living in a foster home with young children, other dogs and cats & gets along beautifully with them all. In fact, she thrives on being in a active household. She is no couch potato. She is very social -- she wants to be with you and be involved in all family activities. She loves going to the dog park and really needs a home with another active dog to be happy. Marla is completely housebroken. If you are a fun, outgoing family with another dog (and a fenced yard too), then Marla is your perfect match!

Lulu

Lulu is a 10 month old chi mix and weighs about 6 lbs. She is very playful and loves her toys. She also loves to sit and snuggle. She is working on house training and leash walking. She is in a foster home with 2 other dogs and gets along with them. She loves women and is timid around men. She likes to be involved in the daily routine and is learning about her new environment each day.

Miss Daisy

Miss Daisy is the sweetest 5 year old girl you will meet. She is a little timid girl who opens up with the company of other dogs that are her own pace. She is very relaxed in the house but loves to run in the yard with her foster siblings. She is making lots of progress with her leash walking. She would do best in a quiet, gentle, low-key home as she is afraid of loud noises. She would do best in a home with another dog.

Nolan

Nolan is the sweetest, most endearing of dogs. He was found in a holler (a valley) in West Virginia known as a place where people dump dogs. He was scrounging for food with a few other dogs when Alexis (read the story on our home page) found them and took them back to her home. Nolan was the most social of the group and ready to find his forever family. He is about 3 years old and 30 pounds. He looks like a mix between a spaniel and a golden retriever. Nolan is living with 5 other dogs and 2 cats and gets along with everyone. He is very gentle and is still a bit shy but is learning to trust people. He loves to go in the car and to the dog park. He is very easy on a leash and he is housebroken. Nolan would be a wonderful addition to any family.

Ginger

Ginger is an adorable Hound mix pup, about 14 weeks old and around 15 lbs. She is very sweet, friendly and playful. She loves to be held, but also loves to chase a ball. She loves to play with her foster family's Lab, and is a joy to have around. She would be a great addition to any family.

Thank you Betty Godley for sponsoring my ticket to freedom!

Trooper

Trooper is sweet as can be and those eyes will make your heart melt. At 7 mos., he's still a puppy and we can see that he is very shy and needs a family to help him come out of his shell. He wouldn't even stand up for his photo session.

Roberta

Roberta is a beautiful spaniel/golden mix. She's about 29lbs and 2 yrs old. She gets along great with other dogs and loves to play and run around the back yard. She sleeps through the night without a sound and is housebroken. She is extremely shy with people and will take awhile to warm up. She has really come out of her shell in her foster home, but will need a family that will continue to work with her since she is still skittish with new things and people. Roberta needs a home with another active dog and a gentle, patient, family that is willing to give her the guidance and reassurance she needs. She is a very loveable dog and with time & patience, will make a great pet for the right family. Because of her shy nature we would like her to go to a family with children over 10 yrs old.

Tucker

Tucker is the gentles pup I have met. He likes to sit on laps and get cuddled. He is great outdoors and is just starting to play with other dogs. He is very much like a shepherd in that he is very focused on his foster mom and even when he ventures out to play, he comes right back. His ears are in the funny stage between up and down. One seems to have made the transition, but the other one is still trying to get upright. He is nothing but sweet love and great with cats too. He is now about 4 months and around 22 lbs.

Tiffany

My name is Tiffany and I'm the sweetest dog in the world. If you watch the attached video, you might just fall in love with me. I am a mutt with lots of different breeds....bulldog, boxer, American Stafforshire and maybe even some lab. I am the best! I am completely housebroken, sleep next to the bed (or if you let me, in the bed) all night long without a peep and I never stop wagging my tail. I am calm, smart and love nothing more than to cuddle on the couch with anyone who allows me to snuggle close. I don't jump on the counter but will sit patiently hoping someone will slip me a treat. My only downsides are that I really don't get along with other dogs or cats (although people of all ages are just fine!) and I hate getting my feet wet. I am not the prettiest of dogs and have some signs of living on the street to prove it but if you adopt me I promise I will love you with all my heart. Watch my video and you'll see how wonderful I am.

Cody

Little man Cody has a lot of love in that 12 lb body. Cody is a real sweetheart.His dark black coat is shiny and soft, and he loves to be pet and cuddled. Cody enjoys the company of people. He wants to be close to people, can be a lap dog at times, and other times just relax beside you. He loves to snuggle in bed with 'his people'. He is friendly and well behaved and is great with kids, even little ones. They run and chase each other in the back yard as wells as play fetch with a squeaky toy. Cody loves to give kisses and rolls on his back for belly rubs. He had no idea how to walk on a leash, but he is getting the hang of it now. He is working on his crate training and house training and has already made great strides with it. Overall, Cody is a great dog and will make a great addition to whoever adopts him. They will be lucky to have such a wonderful lovable little dog!

Bella is living with 5 other dogs of all sizes and personalities and she gets along with all. She loves to run with all of her friends at the dog park yet she never loses sight of her foster mom. She is so cute when chasing butterflies around the field. She knows basic commands, comes when called, is housebroken and has been crated trained. She is well beyond the chewy stage and shares her toys. Bella is a bit strong on the leash but heels when commanded. This gentle girl is just waiting for a home to call her own.

Grant

Grant is a beautiful Golden/Spaniel mix, about 10 months old and around 28 lbs. Grant is a wonderful dog who is very playful and loves the other dogs in his foster home. He is a little shy of people but is warming up little by little. He is very well behaved, and loves his crate, which represents a safe haven for him. He is getting more courageous and ventures out to socialize more and more as he learns to trust people. Grant has the most beautiful and soft fur and gorgeous eyes. He has the potential to be a great companion. Grant likes going for car rides and enjoys going to the dog park. Many people have commented on what a great disposition he has. Grant is super playful, loves to run and loves toys. Since Grant is a little shy he would do best with older children, and would do very well in a home with another dog.

Koko

Koko is a 55 lb female.. Good with other dogs. Great with kids. Loves to romp outside and snuggle inside. UTD on shots. Would prefer an owner who is home much of the time as she gets very attached.

Tyler

Tyler is a sweet and fuzzy boy who would love to be the recipient of all your attentions. He is a border collie mix, about 2 years old and around 40 lbs. We think he may be housebroken because he keeps his kennel clean. He limps from an old injury on his front leg and he is going to see the orthopedic vet to get it fixed. Tyler would do best as an only dog.

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!
