Please don't let the distance stand in your way of finding your newest best friend. We have volunteers that will help your "new friend" get up and down the East Coast or up and down the West Coast. We just can't get them from one Coast to the other but some day we hope to have enough volunteers to do that as well but for now please look for dogs on your coast. For your convenience we also have PAID TRANSPORT companies that are available for a fee to get "your" new addition to your area on a guaranteed date. Thank you for your interest in a rescue!

BIO:Hunter came from a Roanoke, VA shelter a few weeks ago. He was a little dis-oriented at first and barked for human contact the first night. Once he was in the bedroom, he slept all night. Hunter goes to the door when he's ready to be outside, and will lay by the door when he's ready to come in. He eats only after he's told, "okay". When called, Hunter comes although it's at his own pace. He's never in much of a hurry. He seems to understand "no", and wants to please.
Hunter's brindle coat is very smooth with some gray on his muzzle and around his eyes that belay his age. There are also some lumps throughout his body just under his skin with the most noticeable being under his chin. The bouncy ball size mass hangs down on the left side of his chin about halfway back. Hunter went to the vet and the vet said the mass is nothing to worry about but if the new family wished, they can have it removed for cosmetic reasons. He has a heart murmur with no health effects. Overall, Hunter is a very healthy dog, he is very solid with little fat. He seems to have been well cared for up until recently.
