Story
Angel is an adorable 2-year-old, 15 pound Beagle/Rat Terrier mix has a heart full of love and an endless zest for life! This lovable pup is making her way to New Jersey along with her brother Potter. She arrived in January from Kentucky eager to find her forever home. Angel is the perfect blend of playful energy and affectionate charm. Whether it’s chasing after her  favorite toy, exploring the outdoors, or snuggling up for some quality cuddle time, she is always ready to brighten your day.  Angel loves other dogs and would love a doggy sibling as a companion. Her petite size and sweet nature make her a great fit for any family. She is unfazed by cats and loves all people and dogs. Angel is quite the charmer.  While we aren’t certain she is completely house trained, she does keep her kennel clean and we are confident she will be housebroken quickly.  Her ideal home would be low traffic with older chi ldren and a resident dog. If you're looking for a loyal companion to bring joy and adventure into your life, Angel is for you. Don’t miss the chance to make her a part of your family—she is ready to steal your heart!  Apply to adopt Angel at www.peace4paws.org/adoption-application from a computer or laptop.  If you have specific adoption or foster questions, please email: judy.atchison@yahoo.com THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN RESCUING A DOG!

Story
Meet Vanilla and Chocolate, an adorable pair of 4-month-old Beagle/Hound mix siblings as sweet as their names! Both weigh in at 28 pounds. These two were found as strays in Kentucky, but are thankful they were found.  They will bring their playful and loving spirits to NJ on Feb 23. Vanilla is mostly white with soft patches of color, a gentle demeanor, and a love for cuddles. Chocolate, true to his name, is mostly brown with soulful eyes and a heart full of love. They are curious, adventurous, and always ready for a game of chase. Together, they make the perfect mix of fun-loving energy and affectionate sweetness. Weighing around 28 pounds each, these pups are friendly, social, and great with other dogs. Whether adopted together or separately, they’ll bring joy, laughter, and endless tail wags to their new home.

Story
Meet Melman, an 8- to 10-week-old Blue Pitbull mix with the sweetest, most gentle soul! This little guy weighs just 13 pounds but has a huge heart. Unlike most energetic puppies, Melman is quiet, laid-back, and loves to relax. He enjoys snuggling up for naps, watching the world around him, and soaking up all the love he can get. While he’s still young, his calm and easygoing personality already shines through. Melman is arriving from Kentucky on 2/23 and is looking for a loving home where he can continue to grow, feel safe, and be cherished. If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate puppy to add to your family, Melman might just be the perfect match!
