Labrador Retriever Pit Bull Terrier

Details
Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Charlie is a very skittish guy whose past is a mystery but has been through a lot. He was trapped by our friends at Buddha Rescue and Recovery after panicking and bolting from a new foster home through another rescue and surviving on his own in the woods for 10 days... previous he had been a stray in NYC who was captured by animal control with a broken pelvis and suffering from heatstroke! He was covered in old scars and we aren't sure how long he living feral on the streets or if he's ever had a "real home"Charlie seemed to have never been on a leash before and would panic and try to escape or refuse to walk, but has been learning from following the other dogs and is starting to enjoy some walks. He is still very skittish with humans and hasn't learned to bond to people just yet but gets a little more comfortable each day. He is a major escape artist when he gets scared so will need a secure home with someone patient and committed to helping him feel safe and adjust to life in a real home for what may be the first time in his life. We think he is about 8 years old, 50lbs and a pit lab mix. Charlie's ideal home would be adults only and very quiet, patient people willing to accept him for who is and celebrate the little victories as he gains confidence.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Eliza!This young adult petite border collie mix is looking for a special person to continue her training and socialization. She is very fearful and distrustful of people until she bonds, but once she trusts is a fun high energy walking, hiking and jogging companion with her chosen buddy. She's fearful and avoids other dogs and is looking for a calmer experienced adult home with just one person she can bond to and protect. She loves to catch frisbees and play fetch and is a dog who needs a "job" to keep her mind busy and give her an appropriate outlet for her energy... no couch potatoes for this dog! Eliza is about 35lbs full grown and has the intelligence and energy of a border collie, with a bit more of the independent attitude of a shiba or spitz type breed. *Multiple meets required* Please submit an application for an appointment to meet her Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Age: 5yrs 2mths 0wks

Grover

Catahoula Leopard Dog Labrador Retriever

Male, Adult
Oakland, NJ
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Tall, blonde, and handsome (with gorgeous partially blue eyes). That's our Grover!Grover is a 7 year old Catahoula/Lab mix and a loved long timer of over 4 years just waiting at the shelter for someone to "take a chance" on him. He was terrified after leaving the only home he had ever known, but has warmed up to his favorite staff members. He has been enjoying all the walks, runs, hikes and even working on his agility skills! Although Grover needs gradual introductions to new people-once he does feel comfortable with his chosen people, he shares his silly and affectionate side. Grover had lived with a small dog in his previous home, and he sometimes forgets his own size and strength by thinking he is a lap dog. He does get along with smaller/medium dogs, but we believe Grover would thrive best in a home without dogs. With Grover's strength and being fearful of loud noises, he is looking for a quiet low traffic adult only home. Grover is still holding onto hope that his forever home is out there. Let's help him get the chance that he has been longing for and deserving of! To apply to adopt Grover, please submit an application at rbari.org/dogs Primary Color: Tan Secondary Color: White Age: 7yrs 11mths 2wks

Story
Brains, beauty, and loyalty in one package- That's our survivor Hannah! This compact 8 year old came to us as a pup originally after being hit by a car and left for dead with a fractured leg and pelvis. After a complicated surgery and rehab she made a full recovery and is an active healthy girl. Sadly due to changes in her adopters' living situation she is back at the shelter after years in a loving home, and she's very unhappy about it:/Hannah is a bit nervous and untrusting with new people, but after proper introductions and some yummy treats to win her over her sweet side shines through. She's very in tune to her people and their moods, and once you are in her circle of friends her loyalty and devotion is unmatched. She hasn't been socialized with other dogs and reacts when she sees them at a distance on leash, and a home where she can be the only pet and in a quieter low traffic living arrangement would be best for her. She knows her commands, is housebroken and well mannered in the house, and is about 50lbs full grown. We think she's border collie or cattle dog mixed with pittie, and she has the intelligence, energy, and playfulness of all 3 rolled into one little dog. Adults only please, she hasn't been around kids and they would frighten her. Please help Hannah find her perfect home and submit an application today for an appointment to meet her Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 58 Age: 8yrs 4mths 3wks

Pecan

Beagle Whippet

Female, Young
Oakland, NJ
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Pecan is a 1 1/2 yr old mix breed hound with a lot of personality! She came to the shelter with a few other dogs from a hoarding situation of twenty dogs. She's clearly had puppies but is sick of mom life.She likes the one remaining dog at the shelter that was from her pack but has not been making friends easily with our other adoptables. We think she's ready to be someone's one and only baby and she certainly deserves it. She's still a bit skittish, but has mastered walking on a leash and loves to get pet and cuddled by people once she trusts them. If you think you have a Pecan sized hole in your heart that you'd like for her to fill..... visit rbari.org and get your application in for her!
