Hi there, I'm Firefly! After a few months in a shelter this nice foster family has taken me in. They're showing me how great it is to be part of a family! I'm still young (born 10/4/24) and learning how to be a good girl. New people can be a little scary so I stick close to my foster mom while I check them out. Sometimes I take bribes but I just need more sniffs to get to know you. Once I like you though, I'll be happy to sit in your lap (all 45 lbs of me!), give lots of kisses and go on long walks with you! Foster mom says I'm a silly girl and loves my cuddles. I'm doing good with house training and learning commands. I sit like a champ and am good at getting off and leaving things alone when mom tells me no. I'm learning which things are toys I can play with but listen real good when I'm redirected. I'll sleep in my crate if I have to, but I like it way more in the bed with you. I'm really good with the other pup here. We like to wrestle, zoom around in the yard, chase balls and go on hikes together. I met a cat at the shelter but they weren't very interesting so I left it alone. I'm looking for a furever family to call my own. Could that be you? Apply today at East Coast Canine Rescue; in waiting to meet you!
Closer is a super cute smaller guy (about 20 lbs) who is finally showing us his puppy personality! It takes him a bit to warm up but now that he is starting to feel safe and comfortable we are seeing how sweet and loving he really is. He absolutely loves to cuddle on the couch with his people and equally loves to run around the yard and play. He has also started to warm up to our resident dog but he does seem to do better with female dogs. We have children of all ages (3-16) and he does great with all of them. He is still working on leash training and is just about house trained as well. He does well in the crate when he feels like it but sometimes, he just is not a fan. He will cry to use the bathroom if he is in the crate which is a great sign!
Meet Miss "America." This beautiful girl is 2 years old, and listed as a Rotti mix. At 2 years old, America spent a good chunk of her puppy-hood pregnant and having a litter of NINE puppies - all that have since been adopted. She is truly a sweet girl who’s extremely playful. It's clear that despite being a young mother, she's making that time up now showing off her playful demeanor. To note, she was house trained and crate trained upon arrival. She already knew a few basic commands. She's dog friendly and LOVES to
be vocal when wrestling
with other pups! And wait until you see her jump, because it's amazing how high she can pounce! America could spend all day outside and be content; probably because that's where she spent most of her days down South. Her one quirk is that she's a little protective of her personal area (crate and toys) from other dogs in the house, but IS easily redirectable. This is most likely because she had to learn to fend for herself for some time.We're confident she just needs a little time to trust that you'll provide her with nothing short of love and the basic resources she needs to thrive. Adopt America so this beautiful, affectionate and sweet girl can finally live the life she deserves. She will sure prove she's worth it!
Who's ready for a cocktail ? Start off your Summer with Tequila Lime a 13# male Chiweene who is just ADORABLE!! He is crate trained, wonderful with dogs, cats & children. Tequila Lime is a happy little guy who loves a lap, a chew toy and a good treat. He sleeps the night away in his crate and is bright eyed , ready for a new day in the morning. He's working diligently on pottying outside on a regular basis so we need to give him a little Grace to master it. Leash walking is new to him, he likes to be out on it, but needs to get the hang of staying on one side when you walk him. This little boy would do wonderfully in anyone's home. Please apply for him at East Coast Canine Rescue eastcoastcaninerescue.org
*Adopt
Overcrowded shelters take in millions of stray, abused, and lost animals every year. Not only do these animals give you unconditional love, but they have been shown to be physically, emotionally, and psychologically beneficial to their companions. Additionally, when you adopt, you are opening up another space for a rescue or shelter to help another animal in need.
*Foster
Not ready to adopt? That’s okay – You can still help! Fostering is a great way to help without the commitment. East Coast Canine Rescue is a 100% foster based rescue. Our dogs are saved from high-kill shelters as well as situations of abuse and neglect. We believe every dog deserves a home; therefore, our dogs are immediately placed in foster homes where they are loved, cared for, and provided a home where they can let their personality shine.
*Volunteer
Volunteers are an integral part of East Coast Canine Rescue Inc. We are always looking for friendly, dynamic, dog-loving people eager to help get our deserving dogs find loving homes. We are consistently looking for volunteers to help in our many departments: Transportation of dogs to events and foster homes, Home Visits, Photography, and Adoption Events.
