Welcome to Rescues That Rock! In partnership with CARE Animal Rescue and Q92.9, Springfield’s Rock Station, 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!

Thanks to our Rescues That Rock sponsor, The Barker Shoppe!

This adorable 3-year-old Red Heeler is the perfect mix of cuddly sweetheart and fun-loving adventure buddy. Bagel has lots of energy to share and loves every chance to play, explore, and bounce around with his favorite people. But don’t let his lively spirit fool you— this 33lb guy is just as happy curling up close for snuggles and soaking up all the love you’ll give him.

Bagel is looking for a home that can match his zest for life while giving him the affection he thrives on. He’s good with other dogs and would make a great playmate. If you’re searching for a loyal, affectionate, energetic companion who will make every day brighter, Bagel is your guy!
