My name is Zarah.

🩷 Age: 3.5 months old
🩷 Weight 20 lbs
🩷 Breed: Ridgeback and Black Mouth Cur (Hound)

✅ Cat, dog, and kid friendly

I am one of three beautiful siblings located in New Jersey. am one of the smaller one of my siblings.

I am a super sweet, gentle, playful and willing to please pup.

I was dumped with my siblings in a small town down south and I have made my way up to a wonderful New Jersey foster home to find my forever family that will treat me right.

I sleep soundly in my crate at night without an issue and I am moving fast on my housebreaking capabilities.

I would love a family to show me lots of affection and teach me the basics, how to walk on leash, basic commands and how to continue to be a great dog in my adulthood.

✅ Best Breed Guess: English Shepherd, Kelpie and Lab

✅Crate Trained

About Me:

I am a VERY handsome boy. I spent almost 60 days in the shelter and I can't believe I was there so long. How could no one see how near perfect I am?

My favorite game of choice - tug!

I walk well on a leash and can learn to walk even better with some practice. I am motivated to learn!

I love to play, go on walks and frolic in my yard but I am also happy to lay at your feet.

I like to be my foster mom's shadow.

I am well-rounded, have an even temperament and open to exploring new things.

I am located in NJ!

💗 Pupgraded 🩷

For those that don't remember, Oliver came to New Jersey without much socialization behind him and very little in home experience.

Most things were new - walking through doorways, putting on a leash, walking on a leash, walking on hardwood floors, walking past normal household items.

In a few short weeks, his amazing family gave him enough support and confidence to allow him to have a fun-filled summer with social outings and adventures.

A little time, patience and lots of love goes such a long way.

From his wonderful family: Oliver is the most gentle boy, we took him to the Atlantic highlands over the weekend and he made so many friends, everyone loves him. Thank you so much, he’s so loved!

A little secret you didn’t know….

Cat is the perfect dog. Seriously.

This young girl is one of the best puppies we have seen come through our rescue, and yet she still doesn’t have any applications.

Who wouldn’t want a puppy that is willing (and confident) to try anything asked of them?

Cat never hesitated when asked to jump over the agility course.

We applaud her courage and bravery. She has never seen a course, and for many dogs it would be scary! She handled it like a pro.

Cat is focused on her people and would happily follow her new owners anywhere.

If you’re ready for a one-in-a-million dog, then apply today.

My name is Cat – the dog with the purr-fect name! I am a beautiful petite mix of Lab, Shepherd, and maybe some Collie sprinkled in for extra smarts. My foster mom once said I may have a little Whippet in me too! At 6 months and 33 lbs, I’m a leggy supermodel-in-training who won’t be huge, just perfectly medium-sized for maximum cuddles; let's say 45ish lbs. Some basics before we get into the real meat of my personality. I am crate-trained and housebroken. I might need some reminders when I get to my new home (I'm a puppy). I can be a little jumpy when I see you and when you get home but I quickly settle. I don't have a ton of experience on leash but if you go, I will go. I am active but I also have no problem sitting under the desk while my human has to do some work.

To be honest, my foster people are having a really hard time putting into words how special I am. Truly! Nope, I am not perfect and I need some work on a few things and someone to build up my confidence, but I cannot even begin to tell you how loyal I am. I love people. I just do. Dogs are fine too but even as young as I am, I don't need them. I live with them, I can play and romp and hang out. But, if you are looking for me to be your dog's best friend, it won't happen. I want to be my people's best friend. I have spent a lot of time with dog savvy kids 8+ and I love them too. I learn quickly who my people are and I would follow them to the ends of the earth and back. I am so smart. I am food motivated and have superb eye contact.

I am a total mush. Affection is my middle name, and I firmly believe laps are made for dogs—don’t bother telling me otherwise.

A couple of things:
- I haven’t met cats yet.
- A fenced yard would be amazing, but my biggest wish is a human who will help me explore the world, build my confidence, and give me ALL the love.

I am located in NJ. You need a Cat in your life, especially one that is actually a dog.

This is Tula! ⬇️

Tula is a 2.5 year old, 47 lb mix of what looks to be Duck Trolling Retriever and Aussie.

Tula is a medium energy pretty low key girl!

Tula was reserved for the first couple of days as she got used to her new surroundings but now is feeling confident and comfortable.

She gets along with dogs and cats, is housebroken, crate-trained and overall a nice dog.

Tula came into rescue because she was harassing chickens. So, Tula's future home should not have chickens!

She is not tested YET with younger children but that is in her near future.

Meet Ray!

This boy is a 18 month, friendly husky/lab mix.

He is 60 lbs and is going to make a great family dog.

Ray is sociable, has met people of all ages (including kids) and has gotten along with dogs big and small.

He is playful, greets appropriately and gentle.

Ray also walks well on leash and has walked around some busier downtown areas. He likes to window shop and see the sites!

Ray was found as a stray so we don't know his background but we do think he lived in a home. So far, he is housebroken and has pretty good manners!

A fenced in yard would be ideal for Ray but he also requests a family that will take him on outings and walks!
