Here's what the humans have to say about me:
There has never been a more fitting name for a dog than Smiley! Meet Smiley, the darling girl with the megawatt smile! Smiley is a precious Labrador Retriever/Hound mix rescued from Swainsboro, Georgia. She is 1.5 years old and weighs 35 pounds.
Smiley is a true sweetheart who longs to be loved as much as she loves in return. She thrives on affection and making those around her happy. This girl also loves to be cozy. Her foster family gets her the cutest pajamas, and she adores being cuddly in her blankets. She really loves her toys and playtime. She’s been through a lot in her short life, but she hasn’t let it dampen her shine or her smile. Smiley is ready to spend every day showing you true happiness with her.
Smiley would be an amazing family dog. She loves kids and other pets, and she’d fit in perfectly to any size household. We know Smiley is going to find the perfect family, and we can’t wait to make her dreams come true. The smiles she gives us that day will be worth the wait! Smiley is ready for adoption on 1/3/25.
Smiley is spayed, up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations, and microchipped.
Given the conditions Smiley originated from, upon rescue, she tested positive for Heartworm disease. Thanks to Home for Good Dog Rescue, Smiley has completed her Heartworm treatment.
*Heartworm disease is a serious and if left untreated, fatal disease. It is caused by foot-long worms (heartworms) that live in the heart, lungs, and associated blood vessels of affected animals, causing severe lung disease, heart failure, and damage to other organs in the body. Mosquitoes are carriers of heartworms and have the ability to infect dogs all year round, especially in the Southeastern portion of the United States and during the summer months.*
**Please note: completing an "adoption inquiry" via Adopt-a-pet/Petfinder does not constitute an HFG Dog Rescue adoption application. All adoption applications must be completed on www.hfgdr.org**
HFG Dog Rescue is a 100 percent foster-based rescue located in Berkeley Heights, NJ with a sister location, The Almost Home Wellness Center, in Aiken, SC. All of our dogs are rescued from kill shelters in SC + GA and once ready for adoption live in loving local NJ foster homes until they find forever families of their own. Our fosters begin basic training, housebreaking, and leash-walking skills to help pair you with the perfect pup for life!

Additional adoption info
Are you interested in adopting one of our rescued puppies or dogs? Great! At Home for Good Dog Rescue, we strive to find you a perfect canine match. In order to do so, we need to learn a little bit about you and your lifestyle. We don’t mean to pry or be nosey, but we must ensure that our rescues are being placed in the best possible home or situation.
The following is important information regarding our adoption process, policies, and procedures. Please read each point over thoroughly before submitting your application.
1. All potential adopters must fill out an online adoption application. We have volunteers who work from home to process your application. Please be patient. The application process typically takes 2-5 days. Please fill out the application completely and honestly in order to ensure that your application will be completed in a timely manner.
2. Our volunteers will be contacting all of your references, including your Veterinarian (if applicable) and landlord (if applicable), so please notify them prior to submitting your application to speed up the process. Be sure to check your email, including Spam folder, for a response from Home for Good. All communications regarding your application must go through email.
3. Any pets currently in your household must be up to date with vaccines, including Rabies, and be seen for annual wellness visits. We DO NOT adopt dogs out to homes with un-altered animals.
4. All dogs placed by HFGD are to be house dogs. NO dog will be placed in a home where they will be outside-only dogs or farm dogs. HFGD reserves the right to schedule a home visit to ensure the safety of our rescues.
5. Approved applications are valid for 6 months. After 6 months, you must re-submit an application. This applies to previous adopters as well.
6. Please keep in mind that HFGD may have already received applications on the dog you are interested in. For this reason, the dog you are interested in may not be available once your application is finished being processed.
7. Upon approval and acceptance, you may schedule a Meet and Greet via email only with the dog of your choice, subject to availability. Meet and Greets will be scheduled in the order they are requested. If the dog you applied for is no longer available or is not the right match for your home, HFGD will work with you to find another dog that will be a great fit for you and your family.
8. Please be advised that your entire household, including any canines or caregivers, must be present for the Meet and Greet. HFGD does not allow adoptions as gifts or surprises. The entire household must meet the dog and be in agreement to bringing the dog into the home. NO EXCEPTIONS.
9. Approved Applications do not guarantee adoption. A meet and greet is the final step in the placement of our dogs. HFGD wants to ensure that it is the right fit for all humans and canines involved.
