Welcome to Rescues That Rock! In partnership with CARE Animal Rescue and Springfield’s rock station, Q102, we’re on a mission to help find forever homes for some amazing dogs who truly “rock!” Each week, we’ll feature a special dog available for adoption right here on our website and across our social media channels.

Even if adoption isn’t an option right now, you can still help us make a difference. By sharing these profiles on your social media pages, you’re spreading the word and helping these wonderful dogs get noticed—and closer to finding their perfect family. Together, let’s help these dogs find the loving homes they deserve!

Meet Arista, a youthful 8-month-old Hound/St Bernard mix. Her personality is as bright as her spirit, radiating friendliness and playfulness.

She’s a natural at fetch, her tail wagging with joy each time she retrieves the toy. It’s not just her charm that’s captivating, she’s smart too. She’s quick to pick up new commands and loves showing off her intelligence! Arista is great with other dogs, good with kids, and has no shortage of affection for those close to her. Arista’s a young pup full of potential, just waiting to share her love and joy with a forever family!
