Story
Rocky is a rescue dog. He was owned by a family who neglected him. He would always be kept outside no matter the weather. No water was ever left out for him. He was malnourished and it was heartbreaking seeing people try to feed him without the family noticing. At times, that family would leave the gate open in hopes of Rocky leaving but he always came back. I took the initiative to speak to the family and take him as my own. Luckily, they agreed since they wanted him gone. He quickly became a new dog and gained a lot of healthy weight. Rocky is super sweet… you can tell he’s happy he was saved. Unfortunately, it was never in the plans to keep him. The plans were to bring him back to health and find his forever home. It’s been a year and I strongly believe he is ready to find his new home.

Story
Meet Bjorn, an adorable 1-year-old French Bulldog! I adopted him from a family friend who needed to find him a new home. Unfortunately, my new job comes with a demanding travel schedule, making it difficult for me to give Bjorn the care and attention he deserves. Bjorn is a cuddly companion who loves staying close to his owner. He enjoys resting and soaking up the sun, making him the perfect cozy buddy. If you’re looking for a sweet and loyal friend, Bjorn might be the one for you!

Story
**Meet Tiara: Your Next Loyal and Loving Companion!** Tiara, true to the meaning of her name, is a beautiful and graceful Shepherd mix with a gorgeous golden brown coat that perfectly complements her soft, intelligent hazel eyes. At approximately 3 years old, Tiara is a friendly, confident, and affectionate dog who loves to give gentle kisses. **Personality and Playfulness** Tiara is playful and loves her squeaky toys and romping around in the yard. She enjoys long walks and walks well on a leash without pulling or reacting to other dogs. Although she has a bit of a prey drive and may try to chase cats and small critters, she is learning to leave them alone with gentle correction. Tiara is friendly and curious around new dogs and would enjoy playtime at the dog park. **Training and Intelligence** This smart girl is both affection and treat motivated, making her easy to train. She already knows basic commands, is fully housebroken, and crate trained. **Ideal Home** Tiara would thrive in an active dog experienced family who can take her on daily long walks and has access to a fenced yard for off-leash playtime with other dogs or games of fetch. She would also make an excellent hiking partner! She can live with dogs but not small animals. Kids over 13 years old is recommended. If you're looking for an active, loving, loyal, and smart dog, Tiara is the perfect match for you. **Location** Tiara is being fostered in Milltown, NJ. **Contact Information** Please email Rescuewithoutborders@gmail.com for an adoption application. Adopt Tiara and bring home a bundle of love and joy!

Story
Hello! My name is Kolo, and I'm an energetic 4-year-old Indian pariah dog. I was rescued from the streets of India as a puppy and got adopted in New Jersey. Sadly, my family is not able to care for me any longer so I'm looking for a forever home where I can live rest of my life and share all my love. Here are some things you should know about me: Energetic and Active: I love daily long walks and need plenty of exercise to keep me happy and healthy. High Prey Drive: It's best to keep me in a fenced yard to ensure I don't get into any trouble chasing after small animals. So, I cannot be around small animals in the house. Smart and Trained: I know a variety of commands and am crate trained, so I'm already ahead of the game! Sensitive Soul: Due to my early life experiences, I'm very fearful of new people and other dogs. I do best as the only dog in the house. Great with Older Kids: I get along well with older children who can respect my boundaries and understand my needs. Needs a Strong Leader: I'm looking for a strong, experienced dog owner who can continue my training and help me build my confidence every day. If you think you can provide the loving, structured home I need, please contact Rescuewithoutborders@gmail.com for an adoption application. I can't wait to meet my new family and start our adventures together!

Story
**Meet Mona: A Sweetheart in Search of Her Forever Home** Hello! My name is Mona, and I'm a 3-year-old American bulldog with a heart full of love to give. My journey hasn't been easy—I was rescued from a local overcrowded shelter where I lived for over six months with little hope of adoption. But now, I'm ready to find my forever family! Here's a bit about me: - **Shy but Loving: ** I may be shy at first and take some time to warm up to new people, but once I do, I'm incredibly affectionate and love seeking attention. - **Housebroken and Trained: ** I'm housebroken, crate trained, and know basic commands, so I'm well-behaved and ready to fit into your home. - **Dog Friendly: ** I get along well with other dogs, though I'm not quite sure about cats yet. - **Good with Older Kids: ** I'm okay with older children who can understand my need for a gentle approach. - **Active and Playful: ** I need a home with a fenced yard where I can run and play. I also enjoy going on walks with an easy walk harness. - **Healthy and Ready:** I'm up to date on all my vaccinations, spayed, and microchipped. I'm looking for a dog-experienced home where I can feel safe and loved. If you think we could be a perfect match, please reach out and request an adoption application at Rescuewithoutborders@gmail.com. I can't wait to start my new life with you!
