Urgent Cases!
These dogs are in urgent need of foster homes or forever homes.
Most of the urgent cases are dogs on the euthanasia lists at shelters in the south, or dogs that need rehoming due to owners passing away or
becoming homeless or ill.
These are extreme cases and need your help! Can't foster or adopt?
Please share on your social media or verbally with your friends & loved ones.
These innocent dogs don't stand a chance without your help!
Please fill out an application, email us or text/call if you can help.
We are hoping to have them transported to VT January 25th,
but we need your help!
Please help save these puppies from euthanasia!
We need foster homes
& forever homes immediately.
Please share!
Click below to visit our Petfinder Acct for more information on these puppies. They haven't arrived in Vermont yet, so we only know a little bit about them. We need to secure fosters and homes before we can transport them. Help us save them from being euthanized!

Baxter
1.5/2-year-old,
lab-terrier mix
eager to please and be loved, very affectionate, loves to play with all the
other dogs, friendliest dog ever.
He really deserves the best home.
Baxter is the sweetest boy, sadly he hasn't had even one application and he's our longest resident, having been with us since August 2023.
Not one meet and greet to see what an amazing dog he is, it's heart breaking.
He has been so patient, waiting for his person or family to find him and take him home. He deserves so much more after being found in terribly abused condition in South Carolina and instantly put on the euthanasia list.
Saved from euthanasia August 2023
Kai
Born June 30th, 2024
Pit-Terrier Mix,
small but stalky and so handsome with beautiful markings and eyes.
Very friendly and loves to play with his rescue mates. Listens so well and stays with his human, doing great on a leash.
If I could keep any of our rescues, he would be first on my list. He is such a sweet soul, so loyal and will make the perfect companion. Kai is such a special boy.
Saved from euthanasia Sept. 14th, 2024
Fiona
1 year old
Ibizan Hound - Terrier Mix
Very affectionate, high energy, loves to play with the other dogs, very good listener and stays by her human, eager to please, adventurous and friendly with people, good with kids and cats.
This girl had a very rough start, one of our saddest cases. You would have never known by her loving and trusting temperament. She came to us Sept 14th, saved from euthanasia with her 6 puppies. She was under a year old and completely emaciated. She was the best mama and took such amazing care of her babies despite her heartbreaking condition.
Fiona is such a strong soul and is thriving with us. She has gained so much weight and now has energy to go for walks, run and play. She is so affectionate, loving, and grateful to be in a caring and safe environment. Fiona needs to be in a healthy, safe environment with patience and respect. Fiona deserves a very special human or family of her own, and only the best will do because we care about her and her future more than anything.

Bentley, 5-month-old male
labrador/mixed breed
Bentley is one of the most chill puppies we have ever met. Him and Atlas both are! Even when they play it's nothing too rambunctious but adorable. Listening so well and learning so fast. His fur is so soft, and the colors/pattern are so beautiful. Bentley will make the perfectly side kick and/or family member. He loves snuggling and gets along great with all the other dogs. He was fine around cats too.

Bentley as a baby, when he
arrived, he was only 3 weeks old.

Miss Daisy!
Daisy's story is more than miraculous. She was found running after a car that had just abandoned her on a rural road in Texas, completely emaciated, to fend for herself.
Thankfully a true hero from the house nearby, who happened to be an experienced rescue dog foster, saw her running and was able to secure Daisy at her home.
Over the next year Daisy's foster hero did everything to take care of her and heal her from the abuse and trauma she had endured. While physically and emotionally Daisy was thriving and learning how to be a dog in a loving environment, at times finding a forever home seemed hopeless. Considering the never-ending growing number of abandoned, abused, neglected, stray dogs in critical need of rescue in TX and surrounding southern states.
Even though PCAR is located in Vermont we wanted to support Daisy and her foster family in any possibly way and gladly added her to our website, social media, and our Petfinder account. Hoping to find a home in the safe northeastern part of the country.
Just before Christmas 2024, I received a message from Daisy's foster Mom that she had officially been adopted! While it didn't happen directly through PCAR, a single Mother and her son found Daisy on Petfinder thanks to the foster Mom's friend sharing Daisy's Petfinder profile!
2025 is going to be an amazing year full of love and adventure for Daisy and her new family! We'd like to thank everyone who helped Daisy along the way by sharing her profile and social media posts. It truly takes a village to care for these furry companions we consider family <3
All saved from euthanasia on Sept. 14, 2024!
