Sasha is the sweetest who is very playful. She currently has big dogs and a cat as playmates. She also helps cuddle her foster mom when she studies! Sasha is in a house with three children, the youngest 10 but we believe she will be a welcome addition to any family that are human or have fur. She is well on her way to good house training and loves to get in her crate at night. 

Lenny’s foster mom cannot stop going on and on about this sweet boy. Lenny is a joy. He is sweet and reserved but, get him started, and he is the life of the party. He loves to roll over for belly rubs every time his foster family walks up to him with tail wagging furiously. He has two big dogs as playmates and a cat. He also has three human children to play with. He is so special. We hope to find a loving home for this cutie.

Wouldn’t it be great to come home from work to a handsome fella that will look deep into your eyes as you discuss your day? How about someone to hang on your every word and want nothing more than to snuggle with you on the couch as you read a book or watch a good movie? Introducing, Norman. Norman was found alone and in pitiful shape. Matted fur, covered in fleas, and hungry, Norman was excited to find out he hit the jackpot as a foster dog with Halfway There Rescue. Norman is now accustomed to good food, sleeping in bed and a nice fenced yard for potty time. He is sweet, smart, and potty trained. Norman likes to be near his human and has the cutest little bark when he thinks you’ve forgotten about him. Norman has been around dogs of all sizes in his foster home and does just fine. He thinks kitty cats are super fun and might give them a playful chase. Norman is a little hard of hearing and his eyes are a bit foggy, but it hasn’t slowed him down. We estimate he is 9 years young. If you’re looking for a sweet, loving companion to just hang with you, Norman is your man.

​Say hello to Simon! This adorable, pint-sized pup is looking for his forever family! He is an approximately 9 year old chihuahua. Simon had a rough start to life. When we found him he had been living in the street for weeks and he was hungry, dirty and dragging a sharp chain. And to add to his troubles, he was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma which resulted in the removal of his genitalia. But Simon is one tough little guy and has made a remarkable recovery! His personality has bloomed and he wants nothing more than love and affection. He is content to cuddle in your lap all day or chew a bone on a comfy bed. He loves absolutely everyone he meets and is great with other dogs. He is quiet, gentle and low energy so we think he would be just fine with cats as well! This little old man is truly an amazing dog and would make the perfect addition to a loving family! With a great family, we know he has many good days ahead.

Hey everyone! My name is Della and I am looking for the perfect family to call my own. I'm five months old and came to stay with my foster family a few months ago. When I first met them, I felt like people were really scary and that I couldn’t trust them. This made me want to hide and stay away. I would use my crate as my safe space, and for a while I didn’t want to come out. After not knowing what it was like to be around people who cared about me, I started to see my foster brothers and sisters loved humans. They always wagged their tails and purred and were happy to see these people! I watched them all the time and started to do what they did, and after a while I started to act more like a typical puppy. I love playing with toys, and I really love to play with my older foster sisters. They are cranky sometimes and don’t want to play, but that’s ok because I love to just cuddle and take a nap with them too. I also think the kitties in my house are pretty funny. I know they are different from my dog friends, and I learned that some of them will play with me and others want me to leave them alone. I’m still a little shy with my foster family, but I realize more and more every day that they love me and are safe for me.
When I first came to my foster home I was too scared to even go outside, but you should see me now! My foster mom says I am doing great with house training, and we have a schedule for going outside that I learned really quickly. When my people leave the house I go into my crate to take a nap and be safe. I do really well in my crate, and they give me a treat every time I go in! Every day I feel better and better about being with people, and I really do want them to see that I am a really good puppy.
My perfect family would be one that will be patient and understand that it may take me some time to warm up to them. After being here for a while, I like my foster family and I know they won’t hurt me but loud noises and surprises can still scare me. I don’t snuggle with my people yet, but have been known to occasionally sneak up and give people kisses when my other siblings are doing it too. I hope my forever people will be able to continue to help me learn what an awesome girl I am. Since I love other dogs so much and follow their lead it’s pretty important that I have at least one canine brother or sister. Even though it will take me some time to feel comfortable, once I do I promise I will give you a lifetime of smiles and happiness!

Koa is a 2-year-old mixed breed who loves to play, eat and cuddle. Koa enjoys making new friends and chasing squirrels in the backyard. She rides well in a car, and gets especially excited when she knows she's going to the dog park! She is almost completely house trained. Koa is a people pleaser and is very smart so she learns quickly. She loves her people so much that she prefers if they are home most of the day. Koa would do best in a home with another dog, but this is not a must.

Introducing, Dottie! Although she’s not a puppy, Dottie is starting from scratch learning what it’s like to be a happy, carefree, and loved dog. Dottie is gentle and sweet, but she is still timid with new humans. She is learning very quickly, however, that humans can be trusted. Dottie loves other dogs and would do best in a home with another dog around her same age (2-3 years) and size. Dottie is highly cat interested/excitable and will chase and bark at them, so a cat free home may be best. She likes to play outside with her doggie companion and loves nothing more than to snuggle up to her canine friend for a quick nap. Dottie is doing great with potty training and crate training. Do you have the love and patience Dottie needs and deserves?

My name is Sugar! I'm a sweet and spunky pup who is about 1 year old. I love cuddling, chasing the ball with my goofy run, and playing with my foster brothers. I know down, come, and am working on other commands like sit. I'm very polite when I eat and I play well while sharing my toys. I'm also housebroken and crate trained. People make me super happy and my little stubby tail wags a mile a minute! I can't wait to find my forever family!

Jack is a lap dog at heart who, more than anything, wants someone to love. He is a compact 40-pound pit bull mix who does wonderfully with kids. He spent his first 2 years of life living at the end of a chain and yet quickly became potty/crate trained. He gets along well with dogs as long he is properly introduced, and he typically does better when off leash. Personally, we wouldn’t like a leash either if we spent an entire two years at the end of one. Jack currently happily coexists with a medium breed and a large breed dog. He loves to wrestle with his canine friends. He also enjoys snuggling and providing his humans an endless supply of kisses. The first two years of his life, Jack was neglected by his humans, but despite that, he is a sweet, loving boy who just wants a family to call his own.

​Hi! My name is Willow. I’m the sweetest little Pitbull you could ever meet! I’m a pretty low key girl who would love a home where I could get a nice long walk or two day and a lot of snuggle time. I was found stray by some neighborhood children in the Rocky River Road area of Monroe, NC in July. They called my foster mom and she and I have been cuddling on the couch and working on getting me healthy ever since. Unfortunately I wasn’t microchipped or wearing a collar so my original owner was never found. I was pretty underweight and had intestinal parasites and heartworms, but have been fully treated as well as spayed, and I’m feeling much better! My foster mom thought I was quite an old dog when I was found because of my white face, but the vets guessed my age to only be around 2-3! As I’ve gotten my strength back and put on weight my playful puppy side is coming out more and more. I love to play with my foster siblings, two other Pitbulls and an older pug mix. The pug and I don’t really play, but we have a respectful relationship as I am submissive and just let her be the boss. I am also very good with the cats in my foster home. They are both old and not very interesting at all. We did have one small hyper dog that stayed with us as a temp foster and I didn’t like him too much. I wasn’t aggressive, but he was super high energy and when he jumped all over me it made me nervous. Because of this, I might do better in a home with other medium /large dogs, or calm small dogs. I’d also love to be the only dog so I could hog up all the attention! I’ve met a few children, and have been very well behaved with them. I love everyone I meet and want nothing more than to be near my people and my dog buddies. I am 99.9% housebroken, and I walk nicely on a leash. My foster mom and I are also working on crate training. I am not a huge fan of my crate, but we’re taking it slow. I spend the night in the laundry room with a baby gate and am fine with that, so eventually I’ll get used to my crate too. Please consider a cute little pittie pal like me! I promise you all the devotion, love, and kisses you’ll ever want!

Mary Jane is a three year old husky mix who, if she could speak, would have quite a story to tell. At a little less than a year old, Mary Jane got loose at the home of her family, while living outside, and was hit by a car. Her previous owners came home to find her pulling herself, by her front paws, back to the house while dragging the back half of her body. While her owners decided the “humane” thing to do would be to “put her out of her misery”, a Halfway There volunteer intervened immediately and raced her to the emergency vet. That decision would literally save Mary Jane’s life. 

After being initially diagnosed with a broken leg and fractured pelvis, Mary Jane underwent surgery and was brought into a loving foster home to recuperate. After being in foster care a short time, it was realized that Mary Jane was showing some concerning signs that her injury may be more severe than initially diagnosed. She had not regained proper bladder and bowel control, and after a week was not yet up and walking. After another thorough exam and full body xrays (emergency vet had only taken partial images), a much more severe injury was revealed. Mary Jane had sustained a broken back and significant nerve damage when she had been hit by the car. Her future uncertain, Mary Jane’s foster family was determined to not give up on her and support her recovery. They believed that with faith, love, and patience, Mary Jane would have a good quality of life and be able to be considered healthy and adoptable. 

Mary Jane’s foster family continued to provide the love and care she needed to recover, and after several more weeks it was a true miracle that Mary Jane was able to walk again. As a matter of fact, two years after she has come into foster care, Mary Jane has regained the ability to run, jump, and play just like every other dog. Aside from a slight limp, this little lady is the life of the party. She loves playing tug of war with toys and running around the yard with her foster siblings. Mary Jane enjoys going to the dog park, and she has truly never met a stranger. Even the kitties in her current foster home give her “two paws up.” Although Mary Jane’s recovery has been remarkable, she has not regained control of her bowels or bladder. To compensate for this, Mary Jane does need to wear diapers. She doesn’t mind at all though, and is patient and trusting of everyone, making her condition relatively easy to manage. 

After more than two years in foster care, Mary Jane is looking to find her perfect forever family. She is a sweet and loving soul, who longs to be with people and truly appreciates every moment of life she has been given. Although she is adored and loved by the entire Halfway There family, it is our dream that Mary Jane will find her own home, complete with people who understand her needs and just how special she truly is. ​
