Best Friends Forever Rescue

Best Friends Forever Rescue Best Friends Forever Rescue of Northwest Ohio and Southeastern Michigan (based around Toledo, OH) is The name of our rescue is Best Friends Forever Rescue.

It just seems to fit us. We operate as good friends, both with each other and with each dog. It is a group of volunteers who are loving, caring people with years of knowledge in rescuing “throw away dogs”. We banded together to rescue, provide a place of safety, love and finally to find forever homes to abandoned, stray and neglected dogs. The words “It’s all about the dogs” guides us in the day b

y day program. We are all volunteers who hold many different jobs in “real” life such as teachers, managers, homemakers, government workers, retirees. We are not “professionals” just simply willing to commit to helping these dogs until a good home is found. We have no paid employees and all funds given to our rescue are used for the dogs. Our dogs are placed in foster homes where they are provided with love and understanding as to their needs. Medical care is given to insure they are in good health, which includes spay/neuter and current vaccines before being placed in their forever homes. They are evaluated as to temperament and personality enables us to find and place them in homes that are the right fit for their needs and the needs of their future family.

Meet Gizmo – The 4lb Lovebug With a Big Personality!
Gizmo may only be 4 pounds, but don’t let his tiny size fool you—this 2-year-old toy poodle has a heart (and attitude!) big enough for the whole house. Affectionate to his core, Gizmo lives for cuddles. At night, he’ll wiggle his way under the covers and curl up right next to you, happy as can be. If you’ve been dreaming of the perfect purse dog… congratulations, Giz is your guy!
He loves being held, follows his foster mom from room to room, and wants nothing more than to be your constant companion. He plays with toys, hops on and off furniture (even when he shouldn’t!—little stinker), and does an adorable “circus dance” when he knows treats are coming.
Gizmo also has a hilarious tough-guy streak. He routinely bosses around his foster mom’s 24-lb Wheaten terrier… and she lets him! Because he is bossy/snippy with bigger dogs but not little dogs his size (10 lbs or under) his Furever home should have only small dogs.
His enthusiasm for life is contagious, and he has an excellent appetite for such a tiny pup.
If you’re looking for the sweetest snuggler, the cutest shadow, and the tiniest dog with the biggest personality, Gizmo is ready to steal your heart (and probably your spot in bed).
Gizmo requires a secure fenced in yard.
WE DO NOT ADOPT OUT FARTHER THAN 60 MILES FROM TOLEDO, OHIO.
