Charlie now Oban is living his best life.

We think Oban is a coonhound and Anatolian Sheppard but he is definitely 💯 good boy. He was found as a stray on the side of a road with 2 sisters last Augus...

Arnie is all tuckered out after the July 4th celebration.

My name is Arnie! I am an around 2 to 2.5 years old and just under 60 lbs. I am a bulky and very squeezable mix of likely Basset Hound (yep - I am a low rider), Red Heeler and maybe pointer. I could have lab in there too! I likely have many things that make me a really special boy. I certainly turn heads when I am out. This is my deal, I am a loyal, friendly and an adjusted dog. I am housebroken, I am crate trained and I walk pretty well on leash. I do love other dogs and could live with another nice pup to hang out with and play. I am totally neutral with all other dogs - I just want to be friends! I am fine with kids. I have met real young ones without issue but most of my experience has been around 7+. I love when the kids go outside to play with me and hang out. I would really like an owner who likes to go on walks because I do enjoy them! I walk right next to you... I am not reactive, and I walk even on a long lead and I never stray from my person. A fenced in yard is totally fine but its not a requirement for me! I like to play with my toys and can entertain myself with a long lasting chew. I have never met a stranger! Wherever I go, I am happy to meet new people. I am a catch and a snuggler too! AND I know a bunch of commands - sit, down, watch, take treats gently, go to my kennel and even more.

Here’s an amazing update from one of our Ziva Dog Alumni’s!

I adopted Luna almost two years ago, and we’ve been on quite the journey together ever since. She came into my life as a wild, high-energy girl. Little by little, we found our rhythm.

Today, Luna is not only my best friend, but also my teammate. We've been training in AKC Rally and Obedience, and this summer, we’re headed to AKC Rally Nationals — something I never imagined when I first brought her home.

She’s smart, sensitive, and full of personality. Every day she surprises me with what she’s capable of. Luna has helped me grow in ways I didn’t expect — in patience, consistency, and love. I’m so proud of her.

Thank you for rescuing her. Thank you for connecting us. She changed my life, and I’m doing my best to give her the life she deserves.

Forever grateful,

– Jen & Luna (aka )

This is sweet Heidi.

Heidi is almost 6 months old and full of puppy charm!

This well-rounded Lab/Redbone Coonhound mix is thriving in her foster home, where she enjoys playing with her dog friends and soaking up attention from the young kids.

Heidi is friendly and social and made a quick transition. She is super easy going and a full on snuggler.

She’s already a pro at sleeping peacefully in her crate and is making great progress with house training.

Heidi’s playful, loving, and ready to find a forever family who will continue to help her grow into the wonderful dog she’s meant to be.

Could your home be her happily-ever-after? She’s seriously perfect…any home would be privileged to add this gorgeous girl!

Heidi is located in New Jersey and can't wait to meet you.

Meet Benji—24 lbs. of Mini Schnauzer mix love!

This sweet 8-year-old gent is looking for a place where he can settle in full-time.

Benji has blossomed into the ultimate lapdog and cuddle buddy. He’s calm, 100% housebroken, great on a leash (LOVES his daily walks), and gets along wonderfully with other dogs. He has not been cat tested, but he probably would be fine with them.

Little kids make him nervous, so we think he’d thrive in a quieter home with dog-savvy teens (15+) and lots of love.

No crate needed—this little guy is the definition of easygoing.
100% housebroken!
Great on a leash!
Great with other dogs!
Benji would love his family to be home more often than not, as he just simply loves to be around them.

Benji's foster mom says, this boy is a dream - he is up for anything as long as he is with you!

Go for a walk? - YES please, I LOVE walks! I will go anywhere with you!
Settle in for a movie? - YES please, can I sit on your lap?
Go for a car ride? - YES please, as long as you roll the window down!
Work from home? - YES please, can we move my bed near your desk?
Head downstairs to do laundry? - YES please, I'll give you some moral support!
Want to do some dishes? - YES please, I will sit right here and wait & listen to you talk.

This boy is a dream come true for some lucky family, a true testament to a dog's love and loyalty.

Morti is back on the market!

Sometimes things just don’t work out which is OK! Her potential adopters decided that they just weren’t quite ready to adopt so that means that this sweet girl could be yours!!

From Morti herself:

My name is Morticia. I go by “Morti” for short.

I am tiny - to be exact, I am 8.4 lbs and 3.5 years old. So, yes I am full grown!

I am sure I have some chihuahua in me and probably a bit of terrier. I am spunky and fun but also given I am adult, I also know when to chill out.

I am good with other dogs and I have had plenty of socialization with them.

I do not appreciate crazy puppy business, however, so if I have dog friends, I would appreciate if they were mature like myself.

I am way more focused on my people than other dogs so I could easily be the one and only.

I am housebroken.

I am also fine with cats (probably smaller than some!).

I have not been around small children so kids 10+ are recommended.

Think I might be perfect for your home and lap?!

Fill out an application and an adoption coordinator will be in touch!
