Story
My name is Rock - I am super cool so I can totally 'rock' that name. I am a 50lb 11 month old teenager. I am a black mouth cur mix with some hefty ears. I could have also some boxer, shepherd and/or terrier among my breed mix. I went to my foster home underweight and with a bit of mange; I was thrown out and thank goodness my foster mom came to my rescue. I am active and ready to go wherever my humans will take me. I walk well on leash (I am a strong young guy though) and I know basic commands. I am definitely the type of dog that is eager to learn. I am also eager to swim! I have many dog friends in my home and if one gets tired of playing, I move on to the next! Kids 10+ and we aren't sure on cats but have a hunch I might be a little too much for them!

Story
My name is Alonzo. I am about 2.5 years old and 60 lbs. I am a mix of Black Mouth Cur, maybe some Lab and a few other things. I am a very very cool dog. Here are the cool things about me: 1) I love all people and have been friendly with men women and kids! I even hung out with a 4 year old and did great. I knew my boundaries and was very interested in hanging out with him. 2) I am good with other dogs. I live with three others - all different genders and ages. 3) I am housebroken and I am crate-trained. I don't love the crate but I have been doing well left alone when my foster people are gone! 4) I am active and walk well on leash. I love going on walks! I would be a great jogger (if trained) and hiker. I am not dog reactive. 5) I like the baby pool so who knows - I could even like swimming in open water which would be fun. The only thing that may not be agreeable to some is I might be a little too feisty with our feline friends... but, I mean, every dog has to have something right? Please reach out to ASCZ to meet me! I promise I won't disappoint! I AM LOCAL to Northeast adopters!! https://asecondchanceforziva.org/adopt/adoption-process-application/

Story
My name is Baby. My old owner, before she passed, saved me from a life on the streets as a stray. She called me "Baby Dog" for so long... my name just stuck. I loved her dearly but now I find myself looking for my next special person or people to give me a great life for the rest of my years. I have a lot of them ahead of me! I am a great mature age at 5 years old AND I am only 35 lbs. I look a lot bigger in my pictures! I am independent, out of puppy stages, I am housebroken. I don't need a crate (which is good because I don't have much experience with one). I am very dog friendly and I walk well on a leash. I am also cat friendly. I have been around children but not super little ones consistently. I am really a great companion. If you are person that wants a sidekick I fit the mold in a lot of ways.

Story
My name is Rita! I am about 4.5 months old and 23 lbs. We think I am a cross between Catahoula and Terrier. My dad (who is also local in the northeast) is a beautiful guy and definitely has a Catahoula look! I am a hysterical young girl and I love everything and everyone. I also get excited about basically everything in life. I must tell you my favorite human in the world is my 13 year old human boy. When he walks in the room, my world stops! Yes, I am crate trained and housebroken. I am incredibly food motivated'|I will do anything for food and I love to watch my foster mom cook. I am highly trainable and very smart. I am also eager to please. I do have a nice amount of puppy energy'| I could do great as an only because I also entertain myself with my toys and I am so focused on my people. But, I could also do well with another dog who will play and romp with me and not get annoyed . I am curious about cats. I could be just fine but the cat has to be sturdy and dog savvy because yes, I will push buttons. I need some work on the leash. I am curious about this rope I am supposed to walk on and will want to smell, pull, go through legs - pretty typical of a pup that hasn't had much experience. I LOVE to cuddle and want to be the first one to get hugs and kisses from my humans. If you are interested in adding some fun and excitement to your household, here is the application! I am located in CT. https://asecondchanceforziva.org/adopt/adoption-process-application/adoption-application/

Story
My name is Angel! I am an 80lb cream-colored lab mix beauty. I have had a bunch of siblings get rescue by ASCZ and now I am rounding up the last of my litter. (We all have to wait our turn sometimes.). My siblings have been such wonderful family dogs and I expect I will be the same. I am about 11 months and a goofy, playful but mild-mannered girl. I will be a little hesitant at first, especially around new humans but I am curious and I want to trust! I have been well behaved with every dog I have encountered - big and small. I am a pretty good leash walker also for being so new. I am medium energy - I love to play but I am also pretty chill. We are unsure about cats but we would bet I have been around plenty of them in my journey. Kids 8+ as we haven't seen my exposure to little ones.

Story
My name is Conner! I am almost 21 lbs and 3.5 months old. I am one of five in this beautiful litter. I am one of two boys and the last one waiting for my forever home! Our mama was a pretty black lab mix. Who knows who dad was but we suspect he had some Australian Shepherd in there somewhere. I am a goofy boy who loves all the attention I can get. I am crate-trained and getting the hang of this housebreaking thing. I am only a baby after all! I am very cuddly and good with other dogs and kids. I live with young children now and I get really excited to see them. I am full of fun and love to play with my toys. I am already learning some basic commands and I am very food motivated! I am in a foster home in CT! If you would like to know more about me, here is the link to the application: https://asecondchanceforziva.org/adopt/adoption-process-application/
