His family could not keep him and Rescue Ridge stepped up to save him. . Freddie is adult friendly, housebroken, too! He was then adopted through Rescue Ridge last year and was living the good life. Now, he needs our help again.  He loves to run, snuggle, play ball, and go for walks. He knows "Sit" and takes toys, treats and food gently.  Freddie is fabulous in the car and promises to be your best co- pilot ever! Please apply to foster or adopt Freddie in central N. J. at RescueRidge.com and email: rescueridgeshelter@gmail.com or text us at 732-546-8805 Here is his previous Youtube video link: https://youtu.be/ExVtVYJeaXM  Stay tuned for a new one.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Momma Daisy is about a year old and weighs 65 lbs. She came from a shelter in Virginia, where she was one of four boxer mixes surrendered from a bad situation. The rescue didn't realize she was pregnant until she came off of transport. Daisy had four beautiful boys on May 6th, and they have all been adopted, and it is now her turn. Daisy is looking for a foster or a foster-to-adopt situation. She is very afraid of people, so she needs someone to teach her that people are safe. She must go with another dog to show her the ropes. She is housebroken. Once she learns to trust you, you will have a friend forever. This girl is sweet, loveable, and playful—just give her a chance. Please apply to foster or adopt Daisy at rescueridge.com. If your application is a possible match, a volunteer will get back to you shortly. Please do not inquire without an adoption application.
