Hi, I’m Izzy! I’m a 55-lb lab mix, about 2 years old, and apparently “full of life and pizazz” (their words, not mine).

I’m friendly with everyone — dogs, cats, humans — basically, if you breathe, I like you. I’m housebroken, crate-trained, walk nicely on a leash, and I even come when called (unless there’s a squirrel — they started it).

I love adventures, car rides, and couch cuddles. I don’t need another dog, but I wouldn’t mind one either. I’m just looking for my forever humans to love and make laugh every day.

So… you bringing the leash, or should I?

Back on December 17, 2022 we rescued our little dog, Abby, from your organization.

We just thought you’d like to know how much we love her! She is an absolute sweetheart and we can’t even imagine life without her.

When Abby first came into our lives she was shy with visitors, and had anxiety, but over time she became a regular little social butterfly and loves almost everybody. Whenever we have visitors she greets them with “wiggle butts” and many, many kisses. So cute! And we don’t mean to brag but Abby is incredibly smart! It’s uncanny!

Since day one Abby has had a special bond to my husband, David, and when he’s home she follows him around, or keeps her eye on him no matter what. Otherwise she’s mommy’s baby and we have fun together all day! We don’t know how we got so lucky to have Abby in our lives but thank you for allowing us to rescue her!

My name is Spanky.

Age: 7 months
Weight: 34 lbs (est full grown weight ~50lbs)
Breed: Catahoula, Terrier and possibly some hound mix

About:
I am a total goofball. You can see it in my face; I am here to have fun, make friends, learn new things and make you smile.

I am crate-trained and have been great about going to the bathroom in the right places.

I love my foster humans and follow them around during the day.

I also love the dogs I live with... especially old Ginger. I am going to win her over one day.

I am appropriate, submissive and sweet.

I haven’t met young kids yet but I am sure I would love the activity and socialization of a fun family.

I will need some leash work and some basic obedience reinforcement as I am just a young guy.

I am going to be a bundle of love for any family.

Shepherd lovers, beware.

If you are only just “perusing” and thinking about adopting a dog, when you land on my profile, you will be convinced you aren’t just “considering it” anymore!

Age: 4 to 5 month old
Weight: 35ish lbs
Breed: Shepherd

✅ housebroken
✅ crate trained
✅ comes when called
✅ kids and dog friendly (cat friendly, probably, too!)

I sound pretty perfect BUT I am still a puppy so anyone who adopts me will need to be ready for some jumping, maybe some attempted counter surfing and some teething behavior. This all comes with the puppy territory.

I am located in NJ. A single family home is preferred for me! And don’t fret, if you miss out on me, check out my two siblings - Betty and Daniel!

My name is Rocco.

I am a 15 month old Schnauzer/GSD mix and about 60 lbs. What a rollercoaster I have been on! Unfortunately, due to my owner’s significant health challenges, I had to look for a new family. But, I am SUPER lucky. I am in a great foster home where I am receiving attention, training, lots of love and gaining a lot of positive experiences!

I am a handsome and striking boy that is not just extremely intelligence and eager to please, I am loyal and ready to take on a fun and full life with my new people. I am a free spirit who would benefit from exercise, structure and consistency. I haven’t had a chance to experience many adventures in my young life but I am ready to run the distance with you and be your loyal sidekick. I have energy but don’t get me wrong, I am extremely affectionate and will be happy to cuddle with you on the couch and hang out while you work. I am a velcro dog; I aim to please and you better believe that until I settle a bit, I will be your shadow. I don’t want to do anything wrong (even if I make a mistake).

I have been working on so many different skills with my fabulous foster and have had successful meet and greets with new people and dogs.

Some basics - I am untested with cats and would mostly likely love to chase them! I have not been around young kids. Older kids are best due to my jovial nature (and potential herding). Other dogs - sure, with the right intros, I would probably love a sibling. The other dog should have some energy so they can potentially be my playmate.

My humans? My new people need to be my leaders. I seek confidence from my humans so if my handler knows whats up, I will follow and be better for it. My potential is through the roof!

I am housebroken and crate-trained.

I am located in NJ! And…. Because of a very generous sponsor, my adoption fee has been reduced by half.

Hi, I’m Izzy — your future favorite l sidekick 🐾

I’m a 55 lb Lab-ish mix, about 2 years old, and small in person (the camera adds 10 lbs, okay?). I’m fun-sized, a little round, and full of life!

I’m social, smart, and silly — great with dogs, cats, and humans. Squirrels? Not so much. I’m housebroken, crate-trained, know my commands, love car rides, and walk great on leash.

Basically, I’m the total package — part adventure buddy, part snuggle pro.

Ready to meet your new best girl? 💛

Hi, I’m Dusty. I’m about 6–7 years old, 30 lbs of pure chill, and finally living my best indoor life after years of “roughing it” (aka being left outside like a lawn ornament).

These days, I specialize in:
• 🛏️ Lounging on my plush bed like royalty
• 🍗 Grazing on snacks at my leisure
• 👀 Birdwatching and perfecting my side-eye
• 🚶‍♂️ Taking short, leisurely strolls (none of that marathon nonsense)
• 🧘‍♂️ Maintaining a drama-free, chaos-free zone

I’m housebroken, low-maintenance, and have zero interest in climbing Everest or running a 5K. Other dogs? Fine. But honestly, I’m kind of into the “only dog, only child, only spoiled” lifestyle now.

So if you’re into peace, quiet, and elite-level couch companionship — I’m your guy.
📍Currently accepting applications for my forever home in NJ.
