Story

🚨Josie needs your help! Josie has been in our rescue for a year now, waiting on her forever family. We’re not sure why she keeps getting looked over - perhaps it’s her unique look with a scruffy face and dark eyes or the fact she should be the only dog in the home, which we know can be a deciding factor however, we have to be honest with ourselves and know what is best for Josie long term and that is to be the solo dog. Josie’s been through several of our foster homes over the year, no fault at all, just due to scheduling and commitments our fosters have. We didn’t expect to have Josie this long in our care but we are committed to her! Thats where it leaves us as she is in need of a new foster home as her current one has other commitments away from the home for a few weeks. We ideally would love to find her forever home and are also able to do a foster to adopt situation where you would commit to fostering and if she fits in your home/family, you can choose to adopt! Some quick info on Josie: ⁃ 2 years old, medium (40lb) terrier mix ⁃ Loves: time in the backyard, car rides, squeaky toys, cuddling ⁃ Obedience: housebroken, crate trained, food grazer ⁃ Quirks: doesn’t like other dogs (will need a slow introduction if around other dogs) and can get jumpy around young kids so best with older kids Please help us & Josie and apply to become her foster or adoptive home here: http://www.coldnosewarmheart.org/apply-now.html http://www.coldnosewarmheart.org/new-foster-questionnaire.html

Little bit

Chihuahua

Male, Senior

Succasunna, NJ

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Little Bit! He is a 10 year old chihuahua senior. Don't let his age fool you though! This little guy still has plenty of energy. He hardly walks, he loves to run around as quick as his little legs can take him. Little Bit came to us with a tail injury that has since been corrected with surgery. His hair has not grown back on his tail and we are unsure if it will or not. He is crate trained and house trained. He is a very good listener, he will always come when he is called and will stay close to you outside so does not necessarily need to be on a leash. He loves to be given attention, especially neck and butt scratchies. He gets SUPER excited for food time. He will do pretty much anything for a treat and run around in excitement for it. Little Bit has previously lived with cats and does well with them according to another foster. He has also lived with his chihuahua brother, Tiny. He seems to get along better with smaller dogs. We currently have 4 bigger dogs in the house with him and he does not care as long as they are not in his space.

Story

Meet Biscuit! He's a 6-7 month old beagle mix weighing approximately 30 pounds. He's full of life, love and cuddles and is ready to share with his new furever family! This handsome boy knows "sit" and is almost totally potty trained (with some scheduled potty breaks as he still is a baby!) He's super friendly with people of all ages and dogs, big and small. He is not too fond of cats, so a cat free home would be best. He sleeps the entire night through in his crate without issue. Buscuit is still learning the basics and will need a family committed to help him learn as he grows into an amazing dog! http://www.coldnosewarmheart.org/dog-application.html @cnwhnj @coldnosewarmheartnj

Story

Hi I’m Slate! I am a distinguished gentleman that goes with the flow once I warm up to you. I need a few days to sniff out my new digs and family, but once I know you're all about the hugs and kisses I am all in. I am gentle with small children and I love to romp outside with other dogs at my foster home. When I get excited I do start to gently nip but I am easily redirected to a toy or the word stop works too. I am a hound afterall, so I follow ALL the interesting smells relentlessly, so a fenced in yard is a must. When I walk with my foster siblings, I am a champ on the leash, but on solo walks I get a little distracted and slightly pull. I came to my foster family super skinny, but I have a great appetite and quickly adding on weight. I really like food and sometimes get carried away, so feeding me separately from my foster siblings has been working really well. My foster mom thinks I was an exclusively outside dog in my past life and although I LOVE being inside I am still learning proper etiquette. I sleep through the night in my bed and am working hard on getting my routine synced up with my family. I am mostly potty trained but occasionally have an accident when I forget to tell my family to let me outside. Please plan to have lots of toys for me to find, so that I can get to work and distribute them evenly throughout the house. My favorite game is tug of war, and I think I would really like to play fetch if you help me learn the game. Even though I have been with my foster family for a short time, I use my adorable howl to alert them of potential dangers, like a falling leaf. Strangers that come inside are obviously not dangerous and just need to pass my sniff test because I'm a hound and nosy. Not going to lie, you will immediately fall in love with my gentle and quirky spirit. I would be a great addition to any family, but I would thrive with an active family with dogs. http://www.coldnosewarmheart.org/dog-application.html @cnwhnj @coldnosewarmheartnj

Gunter

Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium)

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Guten Tag! My name is Gunter and even though that means "warrior", in my world it means "funny gunny bunny"! My foster mom says I'm great with other dogs, especially younger dogs because older dogs are just not into playing as much as I am! I love my cat foster brother too! I absolutely love going to doggy daycare on the weekends to hang out with all my friends. I never meet a stranger! I'm good with kiddos as well, but I like to wrestle and use my paws, so could scratch or accidentally hurt a little one. I'm proud to say I kennel well, can sit on command, sleep through the night, ride well in a car, am food motivated for easy training, and am potty trained. I'm a typical velcro doggy who REALLY loves my people! If you've got the squeaky toys and are ready to play fetch, we will get along just great! Email your phone number to rockcityrescue@gmail.com for more info. I come to you neutered, vaccinated, and heartworm negative! August 20, 2024, 12:05 am
