Josh

Hello! My name is Merlin and I'm one handsome beagle! I love long walks (I can do 3 miles) and don't pull like a regular beagle. I weigh 35 lbs. but I think I'm a lap dog--your tummy rubs feel really great! I'm also really mellow--if you can, I could come to work with you and lie quietly near your feet. I'm fine with cats or meeting other dogs on the street. I'd rather not have any brothers or sisters--don't like them near my food, although you can do whatever you like! I know "sit," "stay, "out, "no," "come" and "paw." I try really hard to be a good boy and very much want a forever home with a grown-up or two and I promise to be loving and loyal. I am housebroken too!

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.

Bert

Bert is a handsome lab mix with a sweet soul... he is about 5 years old and weighs about 60 lbs but could stand to gain some weight. He has a very calm demeanor but loves to play too. He is in a house with many dogs and gets along great with them, cats too! He enjoys the water and loves to go for walks. He's great in the car and is completely housebroken.

Jason

Jason is a wonderful seven-year-old boxer/shepherd mix. He is about 75 pounds and is quite tall. He is a sweetheart who is a true cuddle bunny. He just wants to love and be loved. He is happy to spend most of his day just hanging out and following his foster mom around the house. He is housebroken and sleeps next to his foster family's bed all through the night. He also walks beautifully on a leash and truly loves to explore the backyard and neighborhood. Jason is in a house with another foster dog and does well with both dogs and cats. However, he is a bit of a worrier and would do best in a calm, older home. Older or no children would be ideal for Jason. He's a great dog who deserves a wonderful, loving home.

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.

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!

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 needs to go to a home with another dog.

Victor

This great dog is not only beautiful but also has a great personality to match. He is outgoing and friendly and loves to play. He is about 10 mo. and 45 lbs.

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.

Carolina

This girl is very affectionate and will love you to death. She is a real tail wagger. She loves to go for long walks or hang out in her favorite places probably with you. She is a Doxie about 3 years old and around 12 lbs. She is still learning the ropes of what it is like to be a dog and get attention. She is still unsure about strangers, but is working on opening up. Once she get's to know you she will not want to leave you alone and just want to cuddle up with you. She is a real baby at heart and loves to give kisses and to get belly rubs. She should be in an adult only household.

Athena

Athena is an adorable 6 months lab mix, weighing around 35lbs. She is a total sweetheart and loves getting and giving lots of love! She also LOVES to play and be outside with the other dogs in the house! She will need an owner who will be firm and consistent with her and provide her plenty of exercise. She would also be best with another dog to play with, she just loves the company of all the other dogs around her!

Chad

Chad, a beautiful and unusual looking 16 week, 25 lb. Leonberger mix is an incredibly loyal, affectionate and playful pup with a great temperament. This is a very happy guy who loves playing with other dogs, whether wrestling, or walking side by side with a shared rope in his mouth. He is a big boy who should not be in a home with young children (under age 8) and is going to grow into an even bigger boy who will need a large yard space to run around in, ideally with a canine buddy that he can play with. He is passionate about water and it’s not hard to spend the day simply watching him have a blast whether he is in his water bowl with his feet, under the hose trying to catch the water spray in his mouth, swimming around in a baby pool or enjoying dunking his head under water in the big pool. When not enjoying one thing or another, Chad will happily roll over for a belly rub or lay by your side content to chew on a toy or rest quietly. This sweetheart will be an incredible addition to the right family and will always be a loving, loyal and faithful companion. Wouldn’t you just love to have this gorgeous pup greet you whenever you come in?

Sebastian

Sebastian is a gorgeous 7 year old lab/golden retriever mix. He is on the short side for that breed and does need to lose some weight. At 75 pounds he would love to find a home that would give him nice walks and throw the ball for him to retrieve to help him return to a healthy weight. Sebastian loves to go for long walks and does well on the leash. He is very smart and understands "no", correcting himself when reminded. His favorite thing in all the world is a good, long belly rub! He sleeps through the night with no problem in his foster parent's room. He is in a home with another dog now but would love to have all of your love and attention. Being an only dog would be ideal for Sebastian. Since he is a bit of an attention hog, older or no children would also be best for Sebastian. This guy is a real treasure and would be a wonderful, easy pet.

Lola

Lola is about 2 years old, 28 lb beagle. She is an absolute sweetheart! She has never met a person that she doesn't want to shower with kisses! She also loves to play, especially fetch!!

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.

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.
