Sweet Hound Looking for a Home

Jaffe is available for adoption from Angels Among Us Pet Rescue.

Meet "Jaffe," a male Hound-mix dog who is 4 to 5 years old and weighs approximately 78 pounds. This boy is a tad overweight right now, but his foster is helping him slim down a bit.  The vet says ideally he should weigh about 60 pounds. He was obviously overfed by his previous owners. He is neutered, house and crate-trained, up-to-date on shots and vetting and is microchipped.  Jaffe is good with non-reactive, easygoing dogs but he's not been around felines, so we don't know how he would react – most hound mixes find them fun to chase, so probably no kitties for his home.  He adores humans and attention from them.  This boy is okay with kids, but does best with older ones who know not to jerk bones and toys out of his mouth.  He can get a …

Loverboy Romeo Needs New Family

Cat in need of home, named because of loving personality.

Angels Among Us Pet Rescue volunteers were very disappointed to receive a call from the adopters of Romeo, one of our all-time favorite cats, asking us to take him back. Three-year-old Romeo, a Russian Blue Mix, was adopted out two years ago to what we thought was his forever home. Sadly, his owners have fallen on financial hard times and their personal circumstances led to their difficult decision to relinquish Romeo back to us.  We gave Romeo his name because of his super loving personality. He loves to be with people, and one of the photos show him standing on his hind legs in order to be petted by his foster provider. The No. 1 request we have from potential feline adopters is for a "lap cat" ... and that's exactly what they'll get …

Perfect Companion Dog Needs Home – Can He Live with You?

Eli, 11 months, is loving and loyal.

  Meet Eli, an 11-month old Boykin Spaniel/Irish Setter mix. Eli is a wonderful fellow who's a "teenager" in dog years and is looking for that perfect home to grow into an adult version of the handsome boy he is today. He possesses true Setter qualities: loving, loyal, devoted, smart and very willing to please – the perfect companion dog. Eli was dropped off at a vet's office late one evening by a couple who were divorcing and no longer wanted him. Through no fault of his own, Eli was abandoned, left scared and alone, with no way of knowing why his family had chosen to "divorce" him, too. He is a very loving, smart, intelligent dog who wants to be with his humans and wants to please them in everything he does. He can "sit" and will fetch …

'Supermodel' Pups Need a Home

Ava and Araceli are loving Chihuahua-Miniature Pincher 'designer dogs.'

Araceli, who is seven months old and about seven pounds of sheer joy and love, possesses a shining and gregarious personality. She loves to cuddle and insists on following her "person" everywhere.

Homes Urgently Needed for Island Cats

Oreo and Banshee and friendly and personable.

Angels Among Us Pet Rescue is trying to help two very friendly and personable cats who urgently need good homes. The request for assistance came from one of the rescue group's volunteers who is vacationing on Daufuskie Island in South Carolina. There are a number of managed feral cat colonies on the island, and their residents include Banshee and Oreo, two very friendly and domesticated cats who were most likely abandoned when their owners left the island. These guys are the favorite of the island's volunteer colony feeders, as they are super affectionate and run up for petting and attention whenever someone approaches them. Banshee and Oreo probably could have gone on indefinitely in this situation, but recently two free-roaming dogs …
