The Rescue Round-Up

By Diana Tuorto Coming Home Rescue Rigby is a 4-year-old wire-haired terrier mix who is a little on the shy side. He is good with other dogs and will be a new man with his own family. Loki is a 1-year-old Catahoula Leopard dog mix who is also seeking a home. For more information on Rigby, Loki, or Coming Home Rescue, visit www.cominghomerescue.org or call 888-405-7221. Eleventh Hour Rescue Queenie is a medium-sized border collie mix. She’s been living in a foster home and is not as scared and shy as she once was. Queenie is still a pretty quiet girl who doesn’t make a lot of noise, but she does have more energy now and likes to play. She’s not a fan of little dogs, but likes nice dogs who are her own size. Queenie is housebroken and crate trained. Also good in the car, Queenie occasionally tries to get in your lap, but is learning she shouldn’t do that. This smart girl love treats and balls and playing in the yard. Bandit is a 10 month-old kitty who was abandoned in a store parking lot where he lived in the sewer for a month before being rescued. One of the volunteers was actually held up at gunpoint while trying to rescue him and that is how he got his name (volunteer is fine and gunman was captured). Bandit purrs at the sight of someone and will follow you everywhere. This cat is ready to be someone’s best friend.

(GFNJ) Balisi is a pretty 2-year-old greyhound who is doing well in a foster home. If you’re looking for a nice size girl who loves to give kisses, she may be the one for you. Housebroken, mannerly, and friendly, Balisi enjoys her two greyhound foster brothers, but would not do well with a cat. Rusty is a charming 5-year-old male greyhound living in a foster home with other greyhounds and a cat. His foster mother cannot say enough good things about this boy. He has gone to several meet and greets and has enjoyed every minute of it. If you want a calm dog who likes to ride in the car, take Rusty home with you.
