2. Mary didn't do well in the shelter
environment, so she needed rescue.
A wonderful family wanted to adopt

to set up adoptions.
We buddied up with Bully Underground
Rescue Network to officially adopt Mary
out, and she made it home for Christmas.

shelter from the
south, where he had been in
a shelter for 3 years.

Lambeau and helped him
with his issues until we found
his forever home.

care for them.

9. I need a
Eggroll was surrendered to a special home,
local shelter over four months
ago, where his grumpiness but I’m worth it!
with other animals kept him
from the adoption floor.
Buddy Up sent him home last
week to a family who knows
and loves the perks and quirks
of Shar Peis and who has no
other animals.
A perfect home is out there
EGGROLL
for everyone.

10. Mr. Fonda landed in a shelter as a
senior dog with medical issues.

Rescue of New England to find a
great home to live out his golden
years as a long-term foster.

three generations of woman who have
fallen in love with this amazing dog.

love, kindness, and respect she
deserves.

you'll ever meet, but a neurological

Sadly, Missy passed away a few
months later from a grave illness, but
not before she got to experience
unconditional and true love for
exactly who she was.

adopters who give
senior dogs a wonderful
retirement home.

environment, he did great!

with us to adopt Doodlebug
out to a wonderful woman
from Martha's Vineyard.

of many, and her fan
club hopes the right
person steps forward to
help this beautiful girl.

29. Quinn was adopted and
returned to the shelter
several times. She has
some vision and hearing
loss, and needed a little
extra time and patience to
adjust to home life.
Quinn finally found a home
with someone who really
appreciates who she is and
Quinn
was willing to give her the
time she needed to settle
in and calm down.

30. Bubba
This super sweet boy is a
tough one to keep in the
shelter — he has separation
anxiety and doesn’t get along
with other dogs.
After he escaped in the
middle of the night to find his
comfort zone, Beau Buddy
Rescue helped us adopt
Bubba out to the one in-a-
million person who could
give him all he needed.

31. Jasper
This energetic southern boy spent
many months in the care of Coastal
Humane Society, but he just
couldn’t calm down enough to make
the adoption floor there.
Charley's Strays, a small sanctuary
in Clinton, Maine, buddied up
with us to give him more time to
find the right home.

32. Cali
Cali was nippy at the
shelter, but fortunately, a
wonderful foster family
took her in to help her
learn better social skills.
Her big reward was a
forever home in NH with
a couple who love and
appreciate everything
about her.

came from a life of neglect and abuse.

family who is helping him get through
heartworm treatment.

he’ll be ready to find his forever home.
