Update: This dog has been reclaimed by her owners so she is no longer in need of rescue.

This young, female dog entered a regional pound last week and so far no one has claimed her. The pound is willing to hold her until Wednesday, March 24th in order for rescue placement to be found. More...

Update: 4 Luv of Dog rescue was going to take this sweet dog in but she was diagnosed with Canine Parvovirus. In the last few months we have taken in a few dogs that have had this virus and have successfully treated them - but the treatment is very expensive and the dogs must be quarantined for several weeks. Sadly, we just could not afford to take this dog in to our rescue at this time. We also had nowhere for her to go, since she would have to be isolated for several weeks. We try so hard to save all of the homeless and unwanted dogs in our area but the sad reality is we cannot. Please say a prayer for this dog. We could not save her but we will not forget her.

This young, female dog entered a regional pound last week and no one has claimed her. Her time is up. The pound is willing to hold her until March 10th in order for rescue placement to be found. More...

Please contact us ASAP if you are interested in helping.

He was going to be shot by his owners because they were moving and could not take him with them. A kind person was able to save him but cannot keep him and he must find a foster home. He likes dogs (both big and small) and children. He seems to ignore cats but has not been truly "cat tested". He has been tied up by his previous owners outside, but seems to be housebroken and is kennel trained.

Would you like to take this gentle guy into your home so he knows what true love is? Please fill out a foster home application.

These Two Boys Need a New Home!

URGENT - Adult Male Pitbull Mix Needs Rescue!!!

Update: Rocky is being accepted into the 4 Luv of Dog Rescue program. We hope to get him transported here to the Fargo area this weekend.

Rocky is a 3-5 year old male pitbull mix who is stuck in a regional impound facility. He desperately needs a rescue to take him in as he will be euthanized on Friday, November 20th, if no one offers him help.

Rocky is very friendly with people and does not jump up on them. He seems fine with the other dogs at the pound. He was introduced to a cat and was scared of her so would probably get used to them over time. He needs some leash training but he should be easy to train since he's eager to please! Rocky is a favorite of the kennel workers and they really don't want to see him euthanized. The kennel workers also indicate that he is very quiet as they have not heard him bark yet.

Please offer Rocky a 2nd chance at life by offering to become a foster or adoptive home for him.

Stray Dog Needs Rescue from Regional Pound

Update: 4 Luv of Dog Rescue is so thankful that we found a Foster home for Billy. He is being accepted into our rescue this weekend. Billy, that is what we have named him, has not known much love in his life, but he has forgiven all the pain and neglect he has known. Billy has no top or bottom teeth, but he can still eat semi-soft dog food and loves it! Billy was found starving to death in a rural area outside of Fargo. It was assumed he had been dumped. A very nice citizen offered him food, brought him to the local pound and contacted our rescue.

4Luv of Dog has been keeping tabs on Billy and once we knew no owner came for him we told the pound we would take him and began working on his transport. 4 Luv of Dog Rescue is so happy to report that Billy will be in our care as of this weekend(12-5-09). He is a very loving Golden mix that will be looking for a family to snuggle with, go for walks and play with for many more years. He is such a wonderful dog and he deserves to be apart of family that loves and respects him. If you have enough love in your heart and room in your home please consider adding Billy to you family this year.

Poor Billy is an adult mixed breed dog who was found as a stray. He was starving and appeared to have been dumped in a rural area. He is now being cared for at a Vets office which is also the area pound. His time is up and he needs a home. Billy has been very gentle and friendly with the office staff. Sadly he has no front teeth (top or bottom). We do not know what happened to his teeth but he is still able to eat and drink. We do know that Billy has had a very rough life and deserves to know the comforts of a loving home.

Please help us save Billy by offering to foster him.

Blind Puppy Poem
I cannot see you mommy, when you cuddle me so near,
and yet I know you love me, it's in the words I hear.
I cannot see you daddy, when you hold me by your side,
but I still know you love me, when you tell me so with pride.
I cannot see to run and play out in the sun so bright,
for here inside my little head it's always dark as night.
I cannot see the treats you give me when I'm extra good,
but I can wag my tail in "thanks" just like a good dog should.
"She cannot see, the dog's no good" is what some folks might say,
"she can't be trained, she'll never learn, she must be put away."
But not you mom and daddy, you know that it's alright,
because I love you just as much as any dog with sight.
You took me in, you gave me love and we will never part,
because I'm blind with just my eyes, I see you in my heart.

PLEASE HELP! Female Husky Desperately Needs a Foster Home!

Update: We have been notified that another regional rescue has offerred to take Jewel into their rescue program. Poor Jewel is a Husky in urgent need of a loving foster. She has spent her whole life chained in a backyard. Her owner has never socialized her and she has suffered severe neglect. Jewel has had many litters of puppies starting when she was only six months old. She is not a good mom and has neglected every litter of her pups. A local rescue paid to have her spayed but her owners sent another dog instead to be spayed.

Our rescue desperately would like to help Jewel but we can't unless a foster home can be found to care for her. Jewel will need a very patient, dog savy foster to help her. Right now we are looking for a foster with no other pets. Please help Jewel by offering her a loving foster home. Please fill out a foster home application if you have not already done so.

Haley, Australian Shepherd Mix, Needs Foster Home by Friday!!!

Update: Haley has been accepted by another regional rescue.

Haley is a female Australian Shepherd mix whose time will be up on Friday (10/23/2009) at a regional dog impound facility. Sadly, her most recent owner moved and dumped her in the country to fend for herself. Haley does not deserve this as she is a great dog, gets along with kids, cats, and other dogs. Haley is up to date on shots, spayed and house trained.

Please consider giving Haley a foster home so we can help find her a loving forever home.

Very Urgent! Dog with Embedded Rope
in Neck Needs a New Home ASAP!

Update: PupPup (now known as Jake)has been accepted into our rescue. A big THANK YOU goes out to the home that offered to foster him!

PupPup had been living in a garage with a rope embedded in his neck until last Friday when some volunteers took him to a vet to get it removed. Click here for pictures of his open neck wound from the rope (Warning: the pics are graphic). Sadly he had to return to living in the garage because there was no where else for him to go.

We are concerned for PupPup's well being and are worried his open neck wound will get infected because his current owners will not care for it properly. We would like to accept PupPup into our rescue but we have no available foster homes able to care for him. PupPup is good with other dogs and kids. Please offer this dog a loving foster home by filling out a foster home application.

Foster Home Needed for Tiny, an American Bulldog

Update: Tiny has been accepted into our rescue. Unfortunately he has some medical issues that will need to dealt with. He currently is being boarded up in Grand Forks (Thanks Wag-N-Train). Once his medical issues have stabilized a bit we will try to place him in a foster or adoptive home.

Tiny looks to be a purebred American Bulldog. He is about 115lbs and a very, very sweet dog. He interacts well with two 10 and 12 year old girls. He gets alone fine with another female dog but the other male dog doesn't seem to like Tiny. Tiny does NOT like cats.

Tiny was a stray. The people currently caring for him have medical issues and are finding it difficult to care for him. He is currently kept tied up outside. With colder temperatures coming soon we would like to accept him into our rescue so that we may find him a new loving home.

We need a foster home willing to provide Tiny loving care until his new forever adoptive home comes along for him. Please offer this dog a foster home by filling out a foster home application.

Xerxes does get along with other dogs.

We would like to accept this dog into our rescue but need a foster home willing to provide him loving care. Please offer this dog a foster home by filling out a foster home application.

Skylar & Toby Accepted into our Rescue!
Foster Homes and/or Financial Assistance Needed!

Both Toby and Skylar have been accepted into our rescue despite the fact that we still don't have foster homes for them. Both dogs were about to be euthanized- Skylar due to lack of kennel space at a regional humane society and Toby due to lack of appropriate shelter from the impending winter weather.

We are looking for a foster or adoptive home for these dogs. Please give them a chance to find a loving home of their own! Until a foster home can be found for them, we would appreciate any financial assistance you can provide towards their boarding expenses.

URGENT - Three Dogs In Regional Tribal Pound Need Rescue!

Update: 4 Luv of Dog Rescue has accepted the shepherd mix into our rescue. Her name is Farrah. The two lhasas will be accepted into a Minneapolis based rescue organization.

One of our foster home volunteers works with tribal police on a regional indian reservation to help save dogs in the pound there. She frequently sends out emails to regional rescue groups asking for help in saving these dogs. On Wednesday, September 2, she emailed out the following plea for these three dogs.

Subject: 2nd Plea: Rescue Needed! Gorgeous dogs!!!

3 tribal pound dogs need rescue! 2 grayish-black small male dogs (Imaybe Lhasas? what do you think?). The larger one is older than the smaller one. Free grooming is available prior to transport for these 2 cuties!!!
One female shepherd mix. The shep mix is an absolute honey and completely beautiful. She is a light blonde color with some shepherd markings, the shepherd ears, face and body but with ice-blue eyes. One eye is bothering her quite a bit. She likes dogs and kids ( can cat test her). She is super nice, calm and doesn't bark!!! She is an absolutely wonderful dog- loving, sweet, smart and gorgeous!!!!!!
Please contact me if you are interested, especially if you are willing to help the shepherd girl!!! I can find an emergency foster home for the little guys, so this girl is the most urgent...
***Rescue(s) must spay/neuter and do home visit prior to adoption and adopt out as indoor dogs only...***

Here are the pictures that were attached to the email.

Our rescue would LOVE to be able to help rescue these dogs. But we need foster homes willing to care for them or individuals willing to provide financial support for boarding expenses. Please help!

Update: LJ has been accepted into our rescue.

LJ is a 1 year old lab/springer spaniel mix whose owner doesn't have the time to appropriately care for him. Unfortunately, LJ spends his days tied up outside with no shelter. We would like to find a foster home for him so that we may accept him into our rescue and find him a new loving home. LG is shy but friendly. Being still a pup he needs to learn some manners. A caring neighbor has been giving LJ some attention and was able to teach LJ to sit in a day. He also has been taking LJ on walks with his black lab and playing fetch with him.

If you are willing and able to provide LJ a loving home please fill out a foster home or pre-adoption application.

Update: We have been notified by the Tribal pound that Billy has escaped the enclosure he was being kept in. We certainly hope he can be found again soon and brought to Fargo and into our rescue organization asap!

Poor Billy is in a regional pound where he will be shot if a rescue for him is not found ASAP! We believe that he is the same dog that had been at the pound last February and we had assumed had already been killed. That dog was very friendly and seemed to get along with other dogs through the kennel fencing. Whether or not it is the same dog, we want to give him a another chance at life and at finding a loving, forever home.

Please help Billy by offering him a foster home!

Two Dogs in Regional Pound Need Rescue!

Update: Both of these dogs have been accepted into our rescue. To our surprise Roscoe is a female so we have renamed her Gemma. She is a small lab mixed possibly with Basenji. Jackson is MUCH smaller that his pics lead you to believe. We think he is a boxer mix pup. He is only about 20-25lbs now.

Jackson (left) and Roscoe(right) have limited time in which to live. Jackson is only about 8 months old. He is brindle in color and we have been told that he could be boxer, pit or great dane mix. Roscoe is only 6 months old. He looks to be some sort of lab mix. They need to have a rescue organization commit to helping them soon otherwise they will be euthanized. We want to help but desperately need foster homes or monetary support to pay for boarding expenses.

Trucker Lost His Job - His Dog Ends Up at Local Pound

Update: Nellie was accepted into our rescue!

Nellie ended up at a local pound when her truck driver owner lost his job and had to leave town. Sadly, this is an unfortunate plight of many dogs whose owners lose their jobs and/or homes. We don't know too much yet about Nellie, but we do know she needs a foster or adoptive home to be found by 4pm Friday, August 21st. Nellie doesn't deserve to be in this situation, please help her.

Update: A volunteer went to go meet Nellie. She had this to say... "Nellie is too cute! She looks like she has a fat little beagle body with a tiny lab/pit head!" She is not as tall as this picture leads you to believe. Her age is estimated to be about 2-3 years old.

Family pets taken to vet to be euthanized! Vet asks us to help find them a new home!

Update: Thanks to the temporary foster home who have offered to care for these dogs, we are able to accept them into our rescue program.

A family is moving and unable to rehome or take their pets with. Sadly, they took their family pets to the vet to be humanely euthanized. The vet believes these two dogs are very nice and deserve another chance to find a new home.

KC (pictured left) is believed to be a 3 year old rottweiler/labrador retriever mix. He is a very nice dog who knows how to sit.

Deuce (pictured right) is believed to be a basset mix because he has a long body and short legs. He has a very nice brindle coloring and a bit longer hair so we are not sure what else he is mixed with. He is a very nice dog who gets along well with other dogs.

These dogs previously lived with a family with kids so we assume that they are both good with kids. We are not sure about cats. They both walk ok on a leash.

Help us to give these guys another chance at finding a loving forever home. Please offer to adopt or foster one or both of them. Click their pictures for more images of them.

Update: We have accepted Kallie into our rescue. She should be arriving in Fargo soon.

This dog (we've given her the name Kallie) has been in a regional pound for over a week and no one has come for her. Poor Kallie, she deserves better than this! Her time is running out so she needs rescue asap! Please open your heart and home to Kallie by offering her a foster home!

 

Update: Tessa has been accepted into our rescue!

Tessa is assumed to be a Border Collie/Shepherd mix and about 2 years old. Her time is up at a local pound but the pound staff has gratiously kept her longer than required to give us more time to find her a foster home. The pound can't hold her forever. Please offer Tessa a foster home!

Two Abandoned Dogs Need Rescue by 4pm August 5th

Update: We have a foster home lined up for the Pug/Chi mix. She will be picked up from the pound later today.

Both of these dogs need rescue so we are sending out a plea for foster homes for them. The local humane society might have room to take in the yellow lab mix so we are especially focusing our efforts on the Pug mix. Please offer these dogs a foster home.

~5 yr. old female Pug/Chihuahua mix, about 15lbs. This little girl's owner knows she is in the pound, but is not coming for her. She does have some injuries(rash mark where hair is missing and an eye injury) possibly due to abuse or by being hit by a car. She is an INCREDIBLY sweet dog! .

~2 yr. old female yellow Lab (mix?). This dog was dumped at the local humane society facility so it is assumed that no one is coming for her. The poor girl is scared to death at the pound and being there is incredibly traumatic for her. With some coaxing she will come over and rest her head against you. She seems like a dog with good potential as she already knows how to sit and shake.

Update: Both of these dogs have been accepted into our rescue. Check out their bio pages : Kallie (pitbull), Loki (lab mix)

There is a male, black lab mix who is about 1-2 years old and a adult, female, brindle pitbull in a regional pound. Their time is up and rescue is needed for them immedicately. The lab mix is behaving very well at the pound. He walks well on a leash and knows sit, come, and kennel commands. He is built tall and lean. The brindle pitbull is 1-3 years old and about 50lbs. Rumor is that she belonged to a family and they haven't come for her because of the fees and fines to bail her out. She has ben very managable at the pound and is real easy going. She doesn't pay much attention to the cats at the pound.

Both of these dogs deserve a second chance at life. Please help to give them this second chance by offering them a foster home.

Update: Blue will be accepted into our rescue thanks to applicant who has applied to adopt him. Hopefully Blue will be going to his new home soon!

Poor Blue is out of time at a local pound. He is about 2 yrs old. Blue is VERY well behaved. He knows sit and is very attentive. He looks like a purebred Cattle Dog. He is not very big, maybe 30 lbs. He will make someone a very nice companion if he can only get a second chance at life. Please help us rescue Blue by offering to foster him.

Update: This dog ( Edison ) will be accepted into our rescue and will be going to a foster home soon.

This cute little dog is being neglected in his current home. We are looking for a foster home for him so that we may accept him into our rescue.

He is a 1.5 year old Maltese who is great with people and very cuddly. He is kennel trained but could use some work on potty training.

Please consider offering him a foster home!

• 2-3 yr. old male Chihuahua - Black in color. Very sweet and happy little guy.

June 22 Update - Rex has been accepted by a Minneapolis rescue so he will be safe.

June 18th Update - Lulu has been accepted into our rescue.

These two dogs were picked up as strays on a nearby indian reservation and need a rescue organization to take them in. Lulu, a small female chihuahua, is safe but Rex, a short shepherd is NOT. He can be killed at any time.

We have been told that Lulu is very sweet, loves to cuddle, and loves other dogs. Rex is strikingly handsome and VERY friendly and loves to cuddle. He is estimated to be 3 years old.

The gal that voluntarily coordinates with rescues to take in stray dogs from the reservation is having difficulty finding a rescue to take them in. Like us, most rescues are full and desperately in need of foster homes. We would love to help both Lulu and Rex find loving forever homes. PLEASE - apply to be a foster home for our organization!

His owner is in the hospital with a terminal illness so no one is coming for poor Fred.

Urgent! Mom & Pups Need Rescue!

May 8th Update - We have found foster homes for Mom and the pups! They will be arriving to their foster homes this weekend. Stay tuned for more info.

These adorable pups and their mom are in need of rescue. Mom is a stray on a South Dakota reservation. She is pure white, probably malamute mix, and gets along well with people and dogs in the neighborhood. Mom has had many litters of pups, of which most of them don't survive. These three 8-week old pups were taken in by a caring woman because a group of neighborhood kids were doing "bad things" to the puppies. This woman can only care for the pups for a short time and finding homes for the pups locally will be difficult.

We desperately are in need of foster or adoptive homes for Mom and her pups. Please help by applying to become a foster home for our rescue organization.

Sweet Bruno was hit by a car earlier this week. He was found on the side of the road by a good Samaritan who brought him to a Vet Clinic where he quickly won the hearts of the staff. He is 1-2 yrs old, neutered, and does well with dogs & cats. He will need surgery on his back legs and eventually one of his front legs with need to be amputated. He loves people so much that he pulls himself around the clinic on his one good leg to greet people. He will even drag himself up a small set of stairs to greet the staff and get some TLC.

4 Luv of Dog Rescue wants so much to help save Bruno. His courage and love have touched our hearts. Please help save Bruno by offering him a foster or forever home. He only has a few days left...

Urgent: Jamestown Animal Rescue Group Needs Help!

Feb 7th Update -All of the german shepherd puppies have been adopted! The rescue is now focusing on finding homes for the springer mix puppies.

Feb 1st Update -As of 5:30pm today, the springer spaniel gave birth to 11 puppies!

The Prairie Paws Rescue in Jamestown recently took in 7 German Shepherd puppies about 10 weeks old that were in need of help at the mall parking lot. The owner is over-whelmed with too many dogs (OVER 20!) and no food to feed them. It was a sad sight as these poor dogs were all huddled in the corner of the pick-up box not knowing what their fate would be when Prairie Paws Rescue was called on the scene. They couldn't take one or two and leave the rest behind. So all the puppies were taken along with a pregnant Springer Spaniel. They are in URGENT need of foster homes for these purebred pups. And, they will be able to help the rest of the dogs if they can find more foster homes. If you can help, please contact Prairie Paws Rescue: (701) 485-3838;
(701) 320-4553.

Posted July 17, noon

Black lab mix was either claimed or euthanized yesterday. We are unable to determine the status of this girl. We did learn she had probably had a litter of puppies within the last six months, so we are hopeful this dog, who was probably a wonderful mother to her puppies, was claimed and not euthanized. When looking for a new four legged best friend, please consider adoption. Those of you that are dog lovers that want to try being a foster home first (before a life time commitment of unconditional four legged love) can easily fill out a foster home application. Fosters provide the love and safety, we provide everything else. Update on Spaniel! We have located another rescue so this Springer will hop on transport and head out for another chance at a forever home.

Original posting: Napoleon and Cesar are in a local pound and need either their owners or a rescue organization to save them.

Cesar is a young beautiful Rottweiler who is very friendly and estimated to be about 2 years old. In order for our rescue to save Cesar or Napolean we must find them approved foster or adoptive homes by Wednesday, July 2nd. Please Contact Us ASAP if you can help these dogs.

You can help save a life by fostering a dog!

Handful of dogs rescued day they were to be euthanized! April 26 - The beagle is staying with us, the rescue lined up, took another one from Fargo pound for us. We also took out a rat terrier and a mini-dachschund. Our beagle, Freckles, is on the dog page, watch the dogs page for rat terrier and doxie in future.

April 23, 2008 - We are rescuing several(well it looks like more than several) dogs from Fargo pound this week. They would have been euthanized if it was not for our tiny rescue.
The beagle mix, lab mix and golden mix are heading via transport, to other rescues we work with. Check back in next day or two for updates on the other dogs coming in. We are a new and very small rescue, but we are the only group in the FM area that networks to find rescues and safety for the dogs we don't have room for. Dogs in our pounds are euthanized! We are doing all that we can. Taking a dog into rescue gives them time to find a family they can love (that will love them back). Dogs/cats going into the Fargo pound have 3 days, yes 3 days before they are euthanized. If we do not have fosters we must board (while we get the word out to individuals and other rescues for assistance). Boarding is $17.00 a day. Please consider helping us with boarding costs, or email us to look at an application to become a foster home. $17.00 a day can help a friendly, loving, healthy dog, find a home they deserve. Any assistance is always appreciated. Volunteers are needed too! A couple hours a week, a couple days a month, you can help. Send us an email, let us know if you want to work on your computer, want physical contact with our dogs, or if are a people person, there's a way you can help!
