Story

We adopted sig from a shelter in New Jersey 3 years ago, he is now 4 years old. He is a very protective dog, and can be aggressive towards other dogs that he is not use to being around. He would thrive in a home without other dogs or children, and a yard that is big enough for him to run around in. He has been a good dog for our family but after the birth of our 3rd child, his protective and aggressive tendencies are just too much for us anymore.

Story

Indi is 2yrs & 9months old. She is high energy, active and full of personality. She loves to spend her days outside, walking/running the perimeter of our backyard (proud guard dog) digging and enjoying her super chewer bark box toys. Walks amazingly on leash! Loves to hike and enjoys swimming on a long leash. To help set boundaries and fulfill her good girl potential, Indi completed a four week board and train obedience program in the spring of 2023. Indi has a very strong prey drive and never warmed up to the cats in our home. She has never been aggressive towards people or children, is actually very sweet with our baby. However, she has recently stopped getting along with another dog in our home and would do best with an experienced dog owner. Our goal is to find a family who can give Indi the energy and attention she deserves. She will be a great addition to the right family!

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,

Story

I am looking for a good home for my sweet dog Bear. I got him over a year ago with my partner. Unfortunately, this person is no longer in my life and left me with this sweet dog. I am unable to give him the attention he deserves or afford him at this time. He is a good boy and LOVES fetch. He will play fetch for hours. He has a lot of energy so loves to play outside and run around. He is crate trained. Can go long stretches without needing to be let out for those people that work full time. Truly a sweet boy that just needs some love and attention. I can provide the crate I currently have for him, his dog food container, and his chuck-it. He does like to chew things if he has pent up energy so I would definitely advise crating him if you leave him alone for an extended period of time.

Nova is a sweet young 1 year old 55 lb Chocolate Labrador Retriever bonded with her buddy Eddie. Nova and Eddie must be adopted together (total $800 adoption fee for both Labs). They're new to the rescue so stay tuned for more details once we've had a chance to get to know them in foster care. Her previous owner that surrendered the two Labs to the shelter did report some separation anxiety by vocalizing excessively when they leave. Nova is more reserved than Eden, but she does warm up with time. She loves to play and enjoys treats! ##1910556##
