Story
My name is Leon. I am finding myself in need of a new home. It's sad because my person loves me so much but sometimes life takes us in a different direction. Right now, unfortunately (but hey sometimes it's fun - I have a lot of friends there), I am in boarding in NJ. I am really reeling to get out to a real home again where I can devote all my love to a new owner. I am a 75 lb, almost 4 year old Dane/Border Collie/something tall mix :). I am so so loyal to my people and I am a great listener, respectful and overall a catch. I am good with dogs and go to daycare twice a week so I can play and just have fun. That being said, I lived as an only dog for most of my life so the people who are trying to find me a new home think that would make me the most happy! I am trustworthy while my human went to work and I just chilled out! I am a little nervous when visitors come over. I haven't had a lot of visitors in my life but I will slink away a bit when they first come over. After a few minutes, I will settle in but I am not an overly socialized guy. A quiet home would likely be best. I might not be GREAT in a home if it's party time all the time, that might make me nervous! I have not been exposed to cats and younger children. I would love for you to consider me... I am beautiful and overall a great great companion. I just need a little understanding and someone who can be satisfied with me being me. https://asecondchanceforziva.org/adopt/adoption-process-application/

Black Mouth Cur German Shepherd Dog

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
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 Hola! I am one of the "Shoes!" I am around 3 months and 12 lbs. I am the smallest "shoe" of the four of us! Speaking of shoes, I might chew yours because I am just a pup. I live with kids - I love them, I am totally fine with the cats that run around and I am great with dogs. My foster mom says I am the oldest soul of the group. I love to be held and I love to melt in laps and arms. I am a bloodhound/anatolian mix and will likely be around 50 to 60 lbs full grown. I have a lanky body! We suggest single family homes. Here is an application if you would like to apply for me! https://asecondchanceforziva.org/adopt/adoption-process-application/

Story
Meet Conner! This beautiful little boy is a quiet, loves his humans kind of guy! ASCZ thinks he could have some Corgi & Chihuahua. He's about a year old and currently weighs about 16 pounds. We don't think he will get much bigger than that! This boy loves to hang out and explore, his current foster mom says his favorite time is coffee time in the garden taking in the sights and sounds! He's good with other dogs & kids, but really doesn't appreciate cats so no cats for him! Conner would do best with a person that is home more than not, he just loves to be his person's shadow & to be loved on. He's super easy going and would make a great addition to any family.

Story
My name is Danner! I am one of the "Shoes!" I am around 3.5 months and 15 lbs. Speaking of shoes, I might chew yours because I am just a pup. I live with kids - I love them, I am totally fine with the cats that run around and I am great with dogs. My foster mom says I am the one in the group that loves to be held the most... Hoka does too though but I like to be rocked especially! I am a bloodhound/anatolian mix and will likely be around 50 to 60 lbs full grown. I have a lanky body and white socks. I can also track! I am really good at that but I also come back when I am called; I don't want to lose track of my family. I will need some housebreaking work and some leash work. I am just a puppy so I am learning all of these new fun things. We suggest a single family home for me.
