Barkley
Barkley was a stray in upstate NY! We found a foster for him and he was safe! Now he has a home of his very own and is loved forever! He actually jumped in the truck and gave his new dad a big kiss!
They know when they’ve found the pawfect hooman †Thanks to everyone who stepped up to help this guy!
We are so blessed to have such a great chapter of the rescue in upstate N.Y.
Micah
Micah was a product of horrible breeding practices and because of that the soft spot on his skull never closed. He needed a new place where his former mom felt he would get the attention and love he needed.
Alyssa Buschman fostered him and with her help the best possible home has been found đ„° You are gonna wrap your new momm
Ollie
Oliver aka Ollie has left the building! From living tied to a shed in Texas for years, having his eye rupture and being totally neglected to a life of love and luxury â€
You are the best boi! You take a piece of my heart with you little man.
Peppa Pig
Our beautiful Pepper aka Peppa Pig has officially been adopted! When she arrived she was in horrible shape! She was high heartworm positive and suffering horribly with demodectic mange. She had not been started on HW treatment yet and was misdiagnosed woth skin allergies.
Our amazing vets Grady Animal Hospital got her on course for everything and she’s been improving daily ever since. Once she was posted as for adoption we didn’t really think very many people would step up to give her the loving home she deserved, but to our amazement a wonderful woman did! She will now have the life and care she was denied in South Carolina.
Thanks to everyone who helped to get her where she needed to be! There is no question that each dog that comes to Our Best Friends Rescue will get the care and love that they need to blossom. â€
I will definitely miss you Pep! You are just the sweetest girl I’ve ever met.
Mazie
What a great way to start our day! Happy Tails to our sweet Mazie and the always wonderful and beautiful Rebecca Nadine â€
We always want the pawfect home for our pups and this is it!!!!!!!
I’m so thankful to know that our precious little beagle bagel squishy girl will be adored and cared for by this amazing family! Love you all Our Best Friends Rescue
Jojo
Happy Tails Saturday! Look at Jojo with her new mom, dad and hooman sister! And her handsome as all get out brofur Merlin! đ
From a TX stray to life on the farm! She’s come so far and will have the best life ever now đ Love you precious girl.
Champ
Okay so this ones a super Happy Tail! Champ was in NYACC and was deemed rescue only for being a bit nippy. We pulled Champ because he was just such a cutie and Jack Russell Terriers don’t get a lot of rescue attention in NY.
Wow are we glad we did!!!! This little guy is so incredibly sweet and just an all around sweetheart. He has some limited vision in one eye so if approached on that side he would get frightened and mouth but no biting at all! Then we got a wonderful application for him and today he had a meet and greet with 3 of his new furblings!!!!! Well it was love all around and now Champ has a wonderful home where he will be adored forever!
Way to go Champ! Thanks to Stacey Ann for helping vet his applications and talking to the humans.
Pierre
Sorry this one is a bit late but here’s another Happy Tail! Pierre fka Pietro lost his mom and his hoomon sister wasn’t able to take care of him so she asked us to help her. Pierre is a tiny bit of cuteness and The wonderful Kelly Greene graciously offered to foster him.
We all fell in love with this little peanut and Stacey Ann stepped up to go through the 100’s of applicants we had for him. When the perfect family came along we set up the meet and greet and he met everyone including his new sisfur Ruby!
It was a big love fest! Pierre is now living the life and will never have a worry in the world again †Happy Tails tiny man! You chose very wisely!
Junior
When we pulled Junior from NYACC we never thought he would leave his foster mom. This sweet senior boy is very old, around 14 or 15 and blind, probably partially deaf as well. We posted him on all the usual sites but there was little to no interest and those who did ask about him did not have a fenced yard.
Junior LOVES to walk around outside and actually get po’d if you don’t give him lots of outdoor time. Then one day, recently, we received an inquiry for him. We went through the motions of replying with an application and didn’t really expect much to come of it. But then we got the application back. i looked it over and forwarded it to his foster momma. We were excited but reluctant that it was real! And then the process started. After a week of checking out everything his foster took him out to his home check/meet and greet and well, here are his happy tails pics! Junior, you are so loved and will have your very own big fenced yard to explore and call your own.
Supreme Happy Tails sweet boy. You truly are a wonderful little guy and your foster mom was ugly crying when she left. But this is what rescue and fostering is all about!
Butter
Happy Tails Butter!
I’m so thankful we could find both our special needs mill pups pawfect homes!

Sammy
What a great way to start a Saturday!!!!!
Happy Tails Sammy Boy!!!! From death row to love forever and ever!!!!! There is always a pawfect home for these little angels and this is Sammy’s <3
Thank you Lorraine Moore Lincoln for reaching out and helping to get him where he belongs. You are an angel đ
Merle
Happy Tails to our precious little girl.
Born a double merle in an Amish puppy mill with the genetic defect that plagues bad breeding, causing these little babies to be born blind and deaf, this little one has a bit of vision in one eye. But trust us, that didn’t stop her one bit! She’s a little ball of fire. These puppies are strong and healthy and have so much joy! The know nothing about a disability. They are normal in their opinion.
Many thanks to her new Momma Linda Bott and Daddy, Steve Bott for opening your hearts to her after the loss of our precious Ozzie. She will give you love and joy for many years to come. Thanks to everyone who helped make this save possible â€
We are blessed to have you there for us when these guys need to hitch a ride.
Murphy
Happy Tails Murphy!!!!!
From the euth list to a new home! Murphy was abused by his previous family. They obviously never had a corgi before him and didn’t know their quirks and personalities. Corgis are not fluffy little lap dogs and need a home where their people understand them. Murphy, the tricolor boy, has been nothing but wonderful here, other than being a real “talker” đ
He now has a sisfur named Penelope and a mom and dad who understand corgi speak. With love and patience and guidance he will thrive and have a wonderful life.
Thanks to Paula Warner for trusting us and coming to us for her next corgo. She and her husband adopted a beautiful senior girl, Rita, from us years back ho had spent her life in a mill. I couldn’t think of a better home for this handsome boy.
Tony
And here’s Tony!!!!! Happy tails you adorable little guy! Your journey started when you were left behind in TX for a while. Then Ilana Stone asked if I would take you and another pup and how could I say no to this handsome boy! You get long walks every day, have lots of fur cousins, get constant loving from your mommas and now my little boy you have a wonderful life!
Thanks to Judy Sven for fostering for us, AGAIN! LOL I know this guy gave you a run (literally) for you money â€
Leo
Oh little Baby Leo! You were definitely a different dog when you arrived in rescue. But now, HAPPY TAILS little man! You learned how to get along with others and how to not be such a bossy boy! You just wanted to be a good boy from the start!
Well, after tasting a little of my flesh đ Thank you to everyone who took part in this little ruffians rehab. He just needed confidence and a peaceful atmosphere. Now he will have the best life and no more worries. I love you Leo! You took a piece of my heart with you when you left. â€
Thanks to @Jennifer Jablow , Kelly Greene and Kim Caruana for all your help with this little nut!
Odessa
And this is a wonderful Happy Tail! But then again, they all are! Petra aka Odessa, has found her furever home!
This little beauty was surrendered because people are dumb. She was put out on a rescue only plea because she bit a rubber hand. Now she has a little girl of her very own and will be safe and loved for all time. Thank goodness she bypassed my house! I don’t think I could have ever let her go!!!!!!!
Many thanks to Tracy Snell for springing her from jail in Rochester and finding her the pawfect home. â€
Wade Garrett
Happy Tails to our precious and special Wade Garrett! This little boy was rescued from NYACC. He has a lot of medical stuff going on but that never means that a pup doesn’t deserve a home and love for the rest of his days.
Wade is adored by his mom and dad and even has his own driver for vet appointments and the like. Wade, you are one of a kind, but that’s a Peke for ya! I love every inch of you little man!
We are blessed with the best adopters ever!!!!!
Thank you Kim Caruana for helping out with this gorgeous pup! He really deserves the best life has to offer and he’s getting it. â€

Zachary was so confused and scared when he arrived but loved pets and snuggles. He is now in the best place possible to get those and lots of other stuff to keep him happy.
We all love you Zach and we’re ecstatic that this wonderful lady opened her heart! <3

She took this adorable boy thinking he was 16 years old (he’s not 16, no way no how) and it didn’t bother her a bit. Thanks to Ashley Anne for keeping him for sleepovers till he got to Melissa.
Have a wonderful life little man.

Happy Tails little girl!

Gouda has left the building! This boy couldn’t walk or even support his body after years of neglect. He was so obese he could barely move to try to get out of his own excrement. He now is gaining his muscle mass back and walking on his own. He’s been eyeing the back steps but that’s a mission for his new dad to take care of.
Thank you Gouda for helping me to remember that there is joy in everyday if you look.
Thank you to Auntie Carol for helping get him here and for letting him ride shotgun in a hotrod on his way to his furever home.
I will never ever forget you little man. Love to you always!

The shelter would not release one sister without the other so of course we took both.Here is Lexie with her new Mommy!
Happy Tails Lexie!!!
Bootsie
Poor little Bootsie had come to us at the sweet age of only 8 months old. Her previous family was obviously not the right fit for this playful little pup.
As we know puppies are a handful and they didn’t have the patience for her…..WELL…..their lack of puppy patience is another families gold!!!
Happy Tails pretty Bootsie.
We know you will be living a great life in your new furever home!

Magoo a.k.a Muffi
Well where do we begin with this precious baby? Muffi’s Dad was an elderly man who loved her so much. His daughter reached out to us because she knew her Dad was too old to properly care for Muffi. When they handed him to Pattie he sank right into her in comfort.
He was immediately Vetted and groomed and placed in the home of his foster mom Vicki. Well I don’t think we could have found a more perfect Foster because Vicki fell in love immediately. The care and attention she gave this little man was off the charts.
After fostering him for a very long time as we had no adoption applications on him…Muffi, now Magoo became a permanent member of Vickis family!
Happy Tails little man…you are truly loved.
Oliver a.k.a Ted
Ted came to OBFR as an owner surrender. His parents were getting a divorce. We immediately noticed that Ted had been abused. His tail was chewed and he was showing severe signs of anxiety. We were extremely choosy with who was going to be the perfect fit for Ted.
He needed someone with extensive Corgi experience.
Well low and behold…The perfect family was found!
Happy Tails Ted…now known as Oliver. May you have the perfect life you always deserved.
Molly
Molly was found alone on the streets in Lancaster PA. She was in rough shape when she got to the PSPCA and it was determined that she had been bred over and over and over.
Her info went out with a bunch of other dogs and her tiny face just sucked me in. So along with Alex and Aspen aka Bambi she came to NY. She needed medical attention that we got for her right away and then she was ready for a real home.
Well here they are a whole family of love!
Niles
After being set aside for human children and having his world turned upside down,
Niles found his furever home!!!
Happy tails Niles your Momma has the best home and biggest heart!
Matilda
Check out these superstars who adopted MATILDA! Matilda’s mom had taken ill and her son was forced to take desperate measures to find her a home.
Of course OBFR stepped in. Matilda was placed in a foster home after a visit to the vet and groomer. Well no surprise here…her foster family immediately fell in love immediately and decided to adopt her!
Happy Tails sweet girl you deserve nothing but the best!
Delilah
So this morning at 6:00am I got Delilah up, packed her bags, and we went outside. Surprise Delilah!, her new Mommy and Daddy we’re waiting for her, they drove all the down from Maine!
Our girl finally has a family that understands all her needs and little quirks. She knows they are for her, just look at how she is looking at them with pure love saying, “I’m ready”.
Some pups take longer than others, but I truly believe they are waiting for their pawfect people.
Happy Tails Delilah! You are very special and very loved!
Holly
We did it folks! Many thanks to Foster Dad Brad and all your help for spreading the word about Holly, she has been ADOPTED!

Have a great time in your new furever home, we will miss you.
Miss Dixie
One of our previous adopters lost our Leo to cancer a few months ago and her heart was shattered.
She wanted to help another pup in need and asked if she could take Miss Dix home with her. We couldn’t think of anyone we would trust more with this precious girl.
She is so happy and will be loved for the rest of her life
Sunny & Dunkin
Sunny waited for so long to find a home of her own and we couldn’t understand why. But then it happened! A family saw her and knew she had to be their little girl.
Then they heard about Dunkin who had just arrived in the rescue from a very bad puppymill and they said we will bring them both home! Y
ou see they had lost both of their corgi’s early this year.
Sunny and Dunkin are helping them heal their hearts and they are teaching them how to be a cherished part of a family of their own.
Mellie
Mellie spent the first 6 months of her life alone in a cage in a shelter.

That’s what rescue is really all about!

Well we were all ecstatic when everyone got along great and Chum loved the humans as well!
He is now gentrified and living in Connecticut. He sleeps on a humans bed and cuddles and is pampered.

Cassidy
Cassidy, a Shepard Mix, was left in a shelter in South Carolina by people who refused to spay or neuter their other dogs.
After spending several weeks with his foster mom Paula, he finally found his forever home!
Happy Tails Cassidy…You are going to have a great life!
Fiona
So we got some emails asking us for help last week. Seems this adorable little Irish Terrier had been abandoned in an apartment. They didn’t know how long she had been there but she was painfully thin and the place was filthy. A RE agent went there and saw her and was told they needed to find a place for her to go or she would have to go to NYACC. So after a few questions we figured we would have to try for her.
In the meantime a wonderful family had applied for another of our dogs but it wasn’t a good fit for the family so we had to say no, but that we would find them the right pup for them. They were really upset, you see they had been really jerked around by a few other rescues and felt defeated. They’ve been through a lot recently and didn’t deserve to be sad. They are such nice people.
Pattie thought this little girl might be the right fit. They met her, it was pure love and joy from Fiona and the family, and now she has the pawfect furever family. She will have a wonderful life.
Happy Tails Fiona! You really are an amazing pup!
Smidge

Well…no surprise here…She was adopted by her Foster Mom Destinee!!!! We couldn’t have asked for a better home for our little girl!
Happy Tails Lady!!!
Boo
Boo was dumped at a vet and they lied about her and wanted her euthanized over a bite that resulted from their idiocy. People should be ashamed.

She has now found her forever home on Long Island with Claire & Rick and will be loved and worshiped as all corgis should be forever! She has an older brother, The Weinie, a JRT and horses to herd. She will now live the life she was always meant to have. And her cuteness is much appreciated by her mom and dad too!!!!!

Thanks to Grady Animal Hospital and their entire staff for the care you gave him and give all our babies!

Thor
Poor little 3 month old Thor, a Bichon, was dumped at a local Pet Smart by its owner because he was lethargic and hadn’t eaten for 2 weeks!!!! SERIOUSLY!!!??? Luckily one of our amazing volunteers was at the store and called us immediately.
Thor was rushed to our Vet who administered meds and found Thor to be dehydrated. Anyway, after a short stay at the Vet…He was as healthy as can be.
Well we knew it wouldn’t take long before someone appreciated this little guy and wanted to make him a part of their family! Here is our little guy now with his new family!!
Happy tails Thor!!!
Honey (Formally Olympia)
We had gotten a call from a woman out of state that told us her tenant was being evicted and he had a ” bulldog” that he needed to get rid of by today or he had to bring it to the shelter! We quickly went to pick up the dog and when the tenant opened the door we immediately saw that it was not a bulldog but a pitbull. Although we love pitbull’s we usually don’t take them because of their size but this dog had the most sweetest disposition we had ever seen so of course we snatched her up.
She just sat in the car like a little angel looking out the front window not knowing what to expect. While examining her in the car we noticed that she had several scratches on her face which indicated that she was used for fighting. We also noticed that she was definitely used as a breeding dog. We urgently called out for help with an emergency Foster.
Well, not only was she quickly fostered that day but her foster parents fell in love with her immediately and decided to keep her! So congratulations to Honey and her new mommy and daddy!
Happy tails beautiful pup!
Hercules
Hercules and his sister Coco came to us after we received a call for help. Their human Dad had passed away and a family member needed to rehome them ASAP.
We were told that they were about 15 years old and our hearts ached for them! Well…after we took them we realized that these amazing dogs were NO WAY that old! They are sooo beautiful and healthy and vibrant.
After a thorough exam by our Vet it was confirmed they were much younger than originally thought. Hercules and his sister remained with us for a few months until they each found their furever homes! One week within each other too!
Here is Hercules with his new furever Mommy!
Coco
As stated above Coco and her brother Hercules came to us after we received a call for help. Their human Dad had passed away and a family member needed to rehome them ASAP.

Oreo
Oreo was discovered along with her 2 sisters and 1 brother at a local 7-11 by one of our volunteers.
They were with a “human” and were being sold on a cold and rainy winter day outside the store to the highest bidder.
They were only 4 weeks old!!! We immediately took all 4!
Well after weeks of being with one of our amazing foster moms and being vetted and cared for our little Lady Oreo has found her furever home! Here she is with her new family of humans and fursibling!

Happy Tails Trolle!
Buddy (now Teddy)
Buddy’s former person was a great fur dad until he became addicted to drugs and they took over his life. After that, Buddy didn’t mean a lot to him. Buddy was left alone all of the time, not groomed and not taken to the vet for checkups.
So Buddy’s dad decided after rehab that he would be better off in a real home and asked us to find that for him. At least he did the right thing.
Well now Buddy has found his furever home and is once again feeling love with his new Mommy Alexa and Daddy Brian! Teddy also has a sister Mia that is also a rescue!
They are all over the moon in happiness! Happy Tails “little” guy! đ
Rex
We came upon Rex and his brother Jinx when one of our sister rescues in the Carolinas reached out to us for help. Someone had abandoned these beautiful Pyrenees mix puppies at the shelter and they couldn’t bear to see them there.
We immediately found fosters and arranged for them to be brought to us in New York. Well here is Rex with his new family! Rex has and new mom, dad and brothers and sisters with 2 legs and 4! Rex’ new family also ONLY ADOPTS RESCUES!
They have done so with all of their furchildren and for that we give a special shout out! Happy Tails Rex!
Bandit (formerly known as Jinx)
As stated above Jinx (now called Bandit) was abandoned with his brother at one of our sister rescues in the Carolinas. When brought to New York he and his brother were placed with foster parents and put on one of our adoption pages.
Well…..Bandits new family had searched sooo many rescues trying to find their perfect furbaby match. They had all but given up hope when they came across Bandits adorable face! Bandit now has an amazing family who are over the moon in love!
Happy Tails little, or should I say BIG, guy! !
Ming
Ming had lost her home because her mom was in her last stage of cancer and doesn’t have a lot of time. She wanted to be sure that Ming would find a home where she is able to live out the rest of her life and be loved.
Well, Donna had seen our plea online and came to sad Mings rescue. Ming now lives with her new mommy and sister and will continue to know what love is. Her previous Mom had done a very brave thing and now she can rest easy knowing that her precious little girl is safe and loved.
Happy Tails Ming!

Penny
Pretty Penny was an owner surrender to our rescue. Her previous owner worked long hours and poor Penny was left in a crate all day.
She was taken very well care of but was lonely and had no social skills whatsoever so her owner decided it was best for Penny to let her go. No sooner was Penny placed in a foster home than we had a wonderful family interested in her!!
Her new Daddy had never owned a dog in his whole life because of allergies and was so happy when he heard Penny was hypoallergenic! Pennys foster mom fell in love with this amazing family and is getting constant updates on Pennys new life!
She now has a Mommy, Daddy and 2 human sisters. She is enjoying being part of a big family! Happy Tails Penny!
Betsy
Betsy’s previous life consisted of spitting out puppies so her human could make money. She was never taught to walk on a leash, to do tricks or anything else a family pet does. When she couldn’t produce any more income for her “family” she was tossed aside.
Well….Now Betsy will know what its like to be loved by a REAL family! Congratulations to you all because you have a wonderful little girl in Betsy! I think her new mommy and Daddy know that by the looks on their faces! Happy Tails Little Betsy!
Lily
Poor Lily had a wonderful life until her human mommy passed away. She was devastated, confused and just plain sad. When Lily came to us we knew she was a special girl. She needed someone to love her again.
Well here is our baby with her new big brother. Lily also has a new mommy that will love her dearly. Life is good for you again Miss Lillian.

Drew
Poor Drew was left at a local kill shelter because a woman’s new boyfriend didn’t like him!!! Yep..you read correctly! He would torment poor Drew and when Drew couldn’t take the torture anymore he snapped at the horrible boyfriend. So, the woman dumped him and said he bit someone. For those of you who don’t know, being labeled a biter at a kill shelter is a certain death sentence. How evil could someone be!? Anyway, the shelter reached out to us (because we LOVE CORGIS! ) and we pulled him. Drew was assessed and found to be fine and he has now found his furever home with a loving family. Happy Tails Drew!
Barney
Barney was a stray roaming the streets of South Carolina. He was picked up by Animal Control and taken to the local kill shelter. When we saw that adorable face we knew we had to bring him to NY. We had so many people interested in Barney but one couple stood out among us. Michele and Peter are the perfect parents for our special little man. Barney couldn’t be more loved and is having a blast watching the Giants with his dad and cuddling with his Mom when Dad goes to work. Happy Tails Barney!!!
