My story

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

Hi there! My name is Stan, and I’m a sweet Black Lab mix weighing in at about 55 lbs with the silly Lab energy and stance. I’ve been hanging out at the shelter in Mississippi for the past three years until I was brought up north, now waiting for my forever home. But don’t let that fool you—I’ve got the warmest, golden brown eyes and a heart full of kindness.

I’ve been sharing a kennel with my best bud, Happy, and we’ve become quite the duo. I definitely lean on him more and get anxious when he's not around. We thrive best together, bringing double the love and joy into your home.

The folks at the shelter and previous fosters say I’m a very good boy, and I absolutely LOVE people. I can’t tell you how happy it makes me to get some special attention when someone takes me out to play. I’m affectionate and ready to shower you with love. 

I’ve got great energy and am always up for some fun, but a lower stimulation home would be best. I can be a little jumpy and exuberant (more so than Happy for sure) as we've never really lived in a home before. Some training might do us some good, along with a patient family willing to give us a chance at a real life filled with love. A quiet home with older kids would probably be best, as I'm big and strong, not always knowing my own strength.

If you’re looking for a loyal pair with gentle spirit, we are your guys. Ready to add some love to your life? Apply for adoption at https://peace4paws.org/adoption-application.

More about this rescue

Peace4paws is a 501 (c) 3 non profit public charity centered in Northern New Jersey. Through our foster home system, we are able to support the rehoming and adoption of dogs from kill shelters as well as facilities of research and related fields. Founded in 2007, our initial mission focused on supporting sanctuary and forever homes for animals retired from use in research and related fields. In the past few years we have broadened our scope of rescue. We continue to help our own retired research animals and independent sanctuaries but also save shelter dogs. We are able to do this work through the efforts of our volunteer network and generous donors. Please see our website or facebook page "Peace4Paws" to meet our adoptable dogs, success stories or volunteer opportunities. We organize fundraising events centered around yoga, music, health, or animal friendly activities. We are also involved with student outreach and education. We would love to work with you.


Our Motto...

Research Animals Make Exceptional Pets!
