     We posted Coco and got responses from New York to California. She finally found a home just 25 minutes from her home. She is a service dog and the new mama needed that. So happy for our niece Coco who is able to continue her work helping people. I know my brother and sister in law in heaven are smiling down on Coco and her new mom. Thank you, Rescue Me, for your help getting the word out.

     This is the second dog I have gotten through Rescue Me. The first was a Pomeranian, which is still with me, and now Porkchop, an Amstaff Pitbull. Both are great dogs. So please, if anyone is looking for a new dog, adopt, don't shop. Thanks again to Rescue Me!

     We had a wonderful couple who had just lost their 13 year old dog due to an illness. They came to look at one of our other dogs who we had out waiting for them. We're not sure if it was because they came in on a motorcycle or what it was, but this one dog did not take to them at all, and she let it be known. As we were talking, I stated that the dog normally picks the owner. I also mentioned that we had another girl on site that was the sweetest girl as well, and a true love. I brought her out, and the attraction was immediate. Tons and tons of kisses, and just a total love connection was made. This girl had a hard start at life, but is now in a wonderful home being treated like a Queen. Thank you, Rescue Me!

     Luna is a true survival dog. She was rescued, thanks to this wonderful site. Luna as many of American Staffordshire Terrier are in danger due to ignorance about the breed. Our family lives in Aurora and there's Ordinance Sec. 14-75 that makes Luna and her kind look like vicious dogs. Is not her breed, they have to worry about, but the owner. Luna was raised with a loving family that taught her to be kind, playful, loving, etc. She was part of our pack; we were a family. A happy family, but we had to let go. Luckily we found the Rescue Me site and helped us find her a new forever home where she won't be in danger anymore and we don't have to worry that she will be taken away and euthanize. She will be missed but we are happy that she is well and thriving.

     I was so worried Grady would not find a home before his time was up. I posted him on Rescue Me thinking the chances of these large dogs finding a home being a Pitbull, no less, were very slim. Several days went by, nothing. I am in California a man from Montana called me and said he just loved the looks of this dog and once he came back from Florida he planned to move to Vegas where he was closing on a property. He would come to California on his way to Vegas to see if Grady would get a long with his other Pitbull. He did everything he said he would do he did. He came to California in two weeks. His dog Wilbur got a long with Grady just great and off they all went into the Sunset to their new home in Vegas. Without Rescue Me, this may not have happened. Thank you so very much. I will keep trying to place dogs through this site.

     My wife and I had been talking about adopting another pup since our Boxer died about two years ago. We have a very energetic three year old Pitbull who has been needing a little sister with plenty of energy to play. We jumped on Rescue Me and on the second page, we spotted this little cutie. After a few phone calls, emails, and exchanges of basic information, we were able to set up a visit and drove 3 hours after work to meet her after hours at the shelter she was living at. The people we dealt with were extremely helpful and accommodating and Miss Scarlett was a cute little bundle of energy. We adopted her after she played with our other dogs for about 45 minutes. We brought her home and she wasted no time making herself at home. She's a great fit and I couldn't have imagined things working out any easier. A huge thanks to the site and the wonderful ladies from the shelter!

We got help with transporting him to where are location is and it was worth the wait. But for us, we found another perfect addition to our family. Thor is now an Emotional Support Animal for one of children as well, so he has a purpose. Thor has a wonderful life now. Thank you Rescue Me and the special individual that helped us get him.

     A few hours after I posted LeAnn's information on Rescue Me, I received a call from a family that lives about two hours north of us. We arranged to meet the family (husband, wife and four daughters ranging in age from two months to seven years) at an easy-to-find McDonald's restaurant. LeAnn was so happy to meet her new family, and they were happy with her too. I'm sure those little girls will be able to give two-year-old LeAnn something I couldn't.....Lots of exercise. Thank you for helping LeAnn find what I hope is her forever home.

     Roxie was abandoned near a dog park as a puppy. Our neighbor found her, and we ended up taking her in. We knew our life was too busy to care for such a young and active dog. So we trained her a bit and socialized her and posted her on Rescue Me where a wonderful couple adopted her to join their other two dogs, including another Staffy. We're so happy that the Rescue Me website exists and helped Roxie find a true doggy paradise.

     Mercury came to us after being chained up outside his whole life. He never got to lay in a warm, soft bed or lay on someone's lap feeling a human touch. That all changed last week when a wonderful family fell madly in love with this precious boy, and with tears in their eyes they kept saying we can't believe he's actually ours! They continue to send wonderful pictures of Mercury. He now knows what a warm bed feels like and the love of a family! Thank you, Rescue Me.

     I rescued Molly by buying her from the original owner, she'd been living 90% of her four months of life in a crate and had no access to fresh water or food. She was/is so loving and sweet, training her was a breeze, she's super smart and also potty trained very quickly! She lived with me and my Boxer girl, Aifa, for about four months and I forgot about the post I put on Rescue Me! The only reason I re-homed Molly was due to my finances not being adequate enough to be able to pay for proper medical care for Molly's skin allergies and possible yeast infection or mange. Christian, Molly's new Dad/human, and I have been communicating regularly about Molly's health issues, mentioned above. Christian and his five year old American Bulldog, Willow, and Molly are a happy family that I'm thrilled to say was totally a perfect God shot. We communicate regularly, and he lets me know how she's doing as well as sending me pics and video of her too. I'm so grateful for this site because I don't feel Craig's List, Facebook or local paper ads are safe ways to re- home your furbaby. I plan on donating regularly. It's my New Year's resolution! I will also be more than willing to foster other dogs and help train them and get them healthy like we did for Molly for their forever home. My Boxer also loved meeting, being with and playing with and helping me with two other dogs that needed saving and re-homing, so I think we'll keep trying to help that way too. Thank you for such a safe site to re-home animals!

     We found Gizmo on Rescue Me after the loss of my dog, Shepherd, due to cancer. We weren't sure about how the new dog will fit into our lives, but gave it a try. After the two hour trip, I finally got to meet him in person. It was like love at first sight. As a young dog, we are still working on some behavior issues, but is nothing compared to all the happiness and love that he gives us back. Thank you so much!

     I was contacted by a man named Amit, who said simply, 'I would like to adopt your dog.' Luckily he lived close by, so I took Debo to meet the family and see if he was a good fit. Amit and his family took well to Debo, and decided they would like to adopt him. He gave me a tour of his home so I could see that it was a truly suitable place for a dog. Nice man, nice family, and nice neighborhood. I showed him how to walk Debo, and explained some aspects of his personality so they would be clear on how to be a 'Pack leader'. Thankfully, he had a dog before and was accustomed to being the leader. We did not charge for him, we only wanted him to have a good home, and we told Amit that he was welcome to return Debo if for any reason, he decided that their home wasn't right for Debo. So far so good. Rescue Me is a great site and provides a great service. It's nice to see folks interested in helping pets instead of making money on them. Thanks Rescue Me!

     I am very grateful for Rescue Me. I rescued Reagan after she had ruptured the ligaments that held her left rear leg together. Her owners could not afford surgery. I paid for her surgery and all subsequent rehab. Reagan is the sweetest dog I have ever fostered and was well worth the thousands of dollars it cost to repair her. Last week I was contacted by a family who wanted to meet and possibly adopt. I took Reagan to their home and as soon as Reagan saw all the children running around, she started smiling. I had never seen her look so happy. I am so very grateful that she has children. I never realized how badly she wanted to play with kids. Her new Mommy is in touch and gives me pictures and updates. Thank you so much for this fantastic service.

     Duke was surrendered to me by my neighbor's daughter. If I had gone outside three minutes later, Duke would have been at the local animal control facility. I am not a dog mom; I have cats. I knew I couldn't let this sweet little puppy go to the pound. Duke was handed over with nothing: no collar, no leash, nothing. I went to the store and got him everything he needed and borrowed a kennel from my co-worker, who also felt Duke should not go to the pound. I got the information from her about Rescue Me and posted him immediately. I don't have the capability to take care of a dog, much less a puppy. I got six responses within one hour of posting Duke. I picked his new mom and dad, because they completed their adoption application immediately and all of their references, including the veterinarian they go to, called back with glowing remarks about what type of animal parents they are. The minute they saw Duke they fell in love. They texted me a picture of Duke sleeping soundly on a panda rug. He was finally home...in his forever home.

     After making contact with every animal rescue organization in Cape Town, we managed to find Tara the perfect home, where she is loved and understood. She has gone to a home where there are no other animals, but there are three kids who absolutely adore her. She bonded with the kids instantly and follows the little girl everywhere! The best thing is that their next door neighbor, who found the home for Tara, is a Staffie/Pitbull specialist! She has been spying over the wall and updates us on her progress. She reckons that this is the perfect home for her and that she is happy, loved, supported and stimulated. Thank you to everyone involved for the love shown to our beautiful Tara.

     Brody has found his FOREVER HOME. I just adopted him yesterday. He now has four brothers, two human and one AmStaff (who is currently my Service Dog) and one Sheltie. He fits in perfectly. Has already been on a walk, a bike ride and to PetSmart. Loves everyone and my other two boys. Great temperament and wants to be with me all the time, including bed time. He still has puppy in him. So we will work on having all the right manners. As he matures, he will be trained in agility first, then it will be on to Service Dog Training as he will eventually take over for my current Service Dog. He has the right 'everything' you look for in dog for Service Work. So please, if anyone reads this, if you or someone you know needs a Service Dog or just a pet, consider the Am Staff. They, in my opinion, excel in Service Work and as pets. Extremely intelligent, want to please, are very in tune with people, are very obedient and are the most loving, gentle and silly dogs. I will NEVER have another breed for Service Work or as a pet. Both of mine are Rescues. You don't need to purchase an expensive animal to get a great one. Rescues are better because they are so happy you saved them, they are forever loving and loyal. SO, PLEASE ADOPT AND SAVE A LIFE!!! YOU'LL BE THANKFUL YOU DID.

Bailey is one of those dogs that has a big personality and is scary smart - she basically house broke herself just by seeing what the other dogs did! We got permission from the shelter to find Bailey a forever home. Last week we got a call from a young family who found Bailey on Rescue Me! and wanted to meet her. It was love at first 'meet' for them - Bailey is now a running buddy for Mom, a fetch buddy for Dad, a companion to grow up with their son, and a playmate for their other dog. While we were sad to see Bailey leave our home, she is now in her new home.

     Stella was adopted by a great couple that spends 24/7 with her. She is a truckers dog and sees the country and gets so much attention! She has a job too, she protects her owners truck on the few times they are not in the truck. She has a great life with lots of love.

     Amazing Zita found her forever home! She loves her new family and they adore her! She sleeps with her two legged siblings, enjoys long walks twice a day, has a fenced in yard, tons of toys, and most of all, a family to call her very own. Thank you to all who have shared and cared and thank you to Rescue Me! for allowing her to be posted and networked on your site.

     In the beginning, I was a bit leery of posting Sailor online, but to my surprise, Rescue Me! was a VERY easy and quick process. Within a day, Sailor was sought out by a family, and two days later he was sought out again by another family... This family was in constant communication and continued to reassure me that Sailor would be well loved and cared for. I am 100% sure that Sailor will now be in a home that is better fitting for him, and will be able to go on long walks and have a mommy who will give him full attention. He will be able to grow up with another puppy and the family's son. Thank you, Rescue Me!, for allowing us to be able to re-home with reassurance.

     Rescue Me helped me to find a new home for my Nino. It was a bitter sweet moment because I had him for nine years, he was a great companion for me and I couldn't bear the thought of a shelter putting down such a great dog. I had so many replies within minutes after posting I had to take a deep breath. I want to thank Rescue Me! for existing, and helping me and many others find homes for our pets who would other wise be euthanized. Thank you, Korneil

     We are so thankful that there are sites like this, and thrilled that Rescue Me! is free. The new forever home includes a twelve year old little boy who had recently moved from another state and was having trouble adjusting. The parents wanted to get him a playmate to help ease the social pressure. They have experience with training, and wanted a four year old dog. Zoe fit the bill perfectly. Thank you, Rescue Me!

     Zeus was adopted by a retired couple who have fallen in love with him... he walks on the leash for them... he plays fetch with their 8 year old grandson... when family and church members visit he entertains them... he sleeps in his crate at night and will take a nap in it during the day... he does chase the cats, but his new mom and dad are working with him on that and he is getting better at resisting that urge but the kitten likes to torment and that is sometimes just too much for Zeus to resist... best of all he loves sleeping as close as he can get to his new mom and dad, usually on their feet while they watch TV.

     Mona Lisa had a pretty tough start to her life. Rescued from a notorious Animal Control facility, many people worked together to move her out of that system and find her a new life. She had been extensively bred and had also been used as a bait dog in a dog fight ring. We worked very hard with her and she ended up being fostered in my home... She had been networked extensively, but Staffordshire Terriers can be difficult to place. Within a month of posting her on Rescue Me! - I received a telephone call from a wonderful young man who loves this breed and had been searching for one. His ex-wife kept his last dog and he missed that dog so desperately. He came to meet her, and it was love at first sight!! Mona is a special girl, and this was terribly difficult for me after fostering her - but she needed a one-dog home with someone who could dedicate time for her training and walking and give her all the one-on-one attention she deserves. I am thrilled with the process - and with the help of Rescue Me! - Miss Mona Lisa is smiling her big smile all the way to her new home.

     My heart does leap for joy because of the adoption of lovely Lyla! Lyla was at our shelter for too long. And everyone passed her by because she had pit in her... We don't do DNA but suggested she was part pit and border mix. She had the soul and spirit or the Great American Shelter Dog! Finally a young family from Portland saw her, and she was the one. I did warn of her killer tail of happiness. I am so happy to say that Lyla departed the depot of the Josephine County Animal Shelter on the 'Hero Train' today... Destination: Portland, Oregon. Sound the Horns, blow the whistles, hail the conductor, she is home for ever! Thank you Rescue Me... my heart is crying with joy!

     Hi Jeff, my name is Amy and I just wanted to thank you for creating this web site. I am currently fostering a sweet red nose pitbull and her puppies. They were rescued from some pretty miserable conditions. I found 4 of them their furever homes through all my wonderful close friends on facebook. I have found myself running out of options to rehome all of the rest of the pups. I was told about your web page and immediatley posted. With in the first week of calls I met with a wonderful couple who have other large breed dogs. They came and picked her up today to go to her new home. I know they will have her for the rest of her life. I am so grateful that I am able to feel comfortable in knowing that your organization helped her get there. Thank you so much!!! Sincerely, Amy :)

     Success!!! Buddy was adopted today by a loving couple with 2 children near the Austin area. I'm sure he was a little scared at first when he was taken out of his comfort zone, inside the house with his siblings, to meet the family but then once he acclimated to his surroundings and got comfortable with them, he was much better. He was giving kisses in no time and receptive to the children too. He and his brother Doc were both adopted by the family as a pair. Buddy, his brother Doc, and New Master along with the family will have lots of new adventures ahead. First thing is they get a new sister dog, Tinkerbell, to meet and show them the ropes!!! Thank you Jeff Gold for putting Rescue Me.org together to help place these wonderful animals who are so mistreated and misunderstood! I already miss those 2 little love sponges but I know with out a doubt that they are in a wonderful home and loving family and strong master who will give them lots of positive training, direction, affection and all the exercise they need and crave. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

     Sable has a new home at last!! In late May we got a call about Sable and took her to meet her new family and their dog Buddy. The family, Tom and Laurie, had adopted Buddy less than a year before but he came with anxiety issues and an escape routine. Buddy seemed to want to leave his yard to go visit other dogs instead of bonding fully with his new family. And then came Sable, in the hopes she would ground Buddy more and stop his running away problem. Well, the idea was a big hit. Buddy and Sable have become fast friends and Buddy has settled down a lot and has not run away even once since he got his new sister. Sable bonded quickly to Tom, who couldn't be happier about that. Buddy seemed to bond with Laurie more and so now each dog has it's own snuggle buddy for time spent on the couch :) Sable is well adjusted to her new home and Tom and Laurie, and especially Buddy, all love her. Her former family miss her a lot but are happy to know she is in her element and getting lots of attention and pampering. Sable is a great watchdog too. And in mid July Sable and Buddy will be staying with Sable's former family for a week while their parents go on vacation. Free dog sitting was part of the arrangement and it will give Buddy a chance to socialize with other dogs and just learn to have more fun and hopefully less anxiety about strangers and new places. Everyone is so happy Sable has a wonderful new family!!

     Monkey found her forever home with a family in Cary just before Memorial Day. She now lives with Yvonne and her 4 kids and gets LOTS of attention. They adore her and she knows it. Monkey was rehomed because she wanted to be the center of attention in a 6 dog home and didn't share well. Now she is 'the center of the universe' and is very happy about her new home. One look at her funny face confirms that :) Her former owner has visited her since she was rehomed and it is clear that Monkey has found her place in this wide world. She plays all day and has already demonstrated to her new family that she is an excellent watch dog. All the kids in her new home adore here and even let Monkey sleep with the youngest child as they have become great friends. Monkey's prayers were answered in this family who find Monkey to be a great addition to their family. Deepest thanks to 'Rescue Me' for helping find this great family for Monkey!!! Her former family miss her funny face but seeing her happy and getting to hog all the attention of not 1 but 5 people is a joy :) God Bless!!
