My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Whiskey is all puppy!
He’s got a beautiful, shiny black coat, and his little tail is constantly wagging!
He’s as friendly as can be and likes to kiss your nose.

Unfortunately, taking good pictures of his wiggly 41-pound ball of happiness is hard.

Whiskey was born on April 26, 2024, just 2 days after we pulled his very pregnant momma from being killed in the shelter. She gave birth to nine beautiful puppies, so we made toast and named them accordingly!

Now in NJ, his foster mom says:
“Whiskey is a very loving boy! Initially, he was a little shy, but having other dogs show him the ropes built his confidence and character.
He is VERY loving and a Velcro dog.
He is very smart, and though he loves treats, he loves pets even more.
He’s really pleasant to train because he wants to please the human, treats or not. He watches TV and loves comfy couches and beds, but his favorite thing is being outside in the yard. (He could be out there all day if you let him)

He does have some separation anxiety. He does not like to be in the crate and does not enjoy not seeing a human at all times. But with time and positive reinforcement, he’s been improving in the playpen - still working on it.

I try to get pictures of him, but when I go down to his level, he "attacks" me with puppy kisses, and he can’t contain his loving self. 🥰🥰🥰”

Whiskey is vaccinated and microchipped. He’s too young to be neutered just yet.

Our mission is to place unwanted and in-danger animals in homes, regardless of age or breed. To educate the public and help stop animal cruelty and neglect.

We don't discriminate against potential adopters on any basis or for any reason. We approve potential adopters if they are and the animal they applied for is a good fit.

*We take our best guess on breed and size when fully grown.
* Our dogs are adopted from their foster home or straight from transport from kill shelters in the south.
*We always need foster homes so we can continue to save dogs. Don't hesitate to contact us if you are interested in fostering. Or fill out the foster application using this link - https://form.jotform.com/210257395409155
