Story
This is Dunkin! Dunkin’s original owner was deployed overseas for 9 months, so we fostered him while she was fighting for our country. When she returned she had a happy reunion with Dunkin. About 6 months later, she contacted us because she needed to him as her family member was diagnosed with terminal illness and she couldn’t care for him. We are fostering him looking for his forever home. He has separation anxiety & would do best with someone who can be with him most hours of the day. He gets along well with most dogs but some dogs he needs a slow introduction to. Unsure how he is with cats or dogs. We believe he’d be best as an only dog although he did have a Rottweiler sibling with his previous owner. He’s looking for his best friend and forever home!

Story
Kramer is 6 years old, he is very smart, energetic, loves belly rubs and running around outside! He is very food motivated, and he is a bit clumsy so he may run too fast up or down the stairs and trip so always take caution on the stairs with him. He is good with most age groups, but any children his height or smaller he gets nervous around. I am looking for a home that has the time to play and care for him and has children ages at least 10-12 or older. Kramer is a very good boy and would be a great addition to an active home where there is maybe another dog, older children or a couple who is able to give him the attention he deserves and keep up with his energy to play! He is good with dogs after little introduction (he can be a little shy at first), loves to play with cats, and LOVES big tennis balls. He will destroy any toy with a squeaker or any stuffed animal toy you give him. He understands "sit, stay, heel, paw, lie down, come here" and most importantly, "treat"

Story
Have you ever heard the song lyrics “She’s a little runaway”?  We think that was written about Abby.   Abby is a gentle 3½-year-old shepherd mix weighing 25-30 lbs. She was rescued almost 2 years ago from Mississippi. We recently discovered a healed fracture in her femur which occurred before her rescue.  You’d never know from looking at her or watching her walk.  Too bad she can’t tell us what happened as it might give us clues to her past.   Abby is a sweet girl but is still learning that the best place to explore is alongside her human. Abby has been placed for adoption twice but was surrendered each time due to her tendency to escape. She ran off of multiple times from her last home!  Her most recent adventure had her on her own for three days, and she’s still recovering emotionally and physically from that experience. Abby hasn’t shown much affection in her previous homes, likely due to lingering anxiety and not knowing how to be part of the family. She’ll need a calm, patient, and understanding environment—ideally with strong human leadership and a confident resident dog to help her feel secure and supported. Abby craves an environment and a routine that meets her emotional and physical needs. A secure, fenced yard is a must, but Abby will need to constant supervision, as she has a knack for finding her way out if an opportunity presents. With the right home, time, and love, Abby can learn to trust and share her affectionate side. Could you and your dog be the ones to give her the stability and care she deserves? Abby’s adopters will be supported in their work with Abby through training.  Peace4Paws will provide a training package with a professional dog trainer who has worked with Abby previously. Think Abby is the right girl for you?  Apply on a computer or laptop at www.peace4paws.org/adoption-application. If you have specific adoption or foster questions, please email: judy.atchison@yahoo.com THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN RESCUING A DOG!

Story
Hi, my name is Zeus, and I’m a 7-month-old pup looking for my forever home, hopefully with a dog friend for me. I weigh about 64 lbs right now and still have some growing to do. I’m a sweet boy, but I’ve been through a lot lately. My last owner had to let me go which has made me a little sad. Due to no fault of my own, they couldn't keep me but I’m trying my best to stay positive and looking ahead to the future. I've been said to be pretty mellow for my age, and would make a great family dog with kids 14 and older - I love the company of people and other dogs alike and adore cuddles! I’m up to date on all my age-appropriate vaccines, so I’m healthy and ready to start fresh. I’m still learning a lot about the world, but I’m a quick learner and I love to please. If you have a big heart and space for me, I promise to be your loyal companion. You can apply to adopt me at https://peace4paws.org/adoption-application. I can’t wait to meet you.If you have specific adoption or foster questions, please email: judy.atchison@yahoo.com THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN RESCUING A DOG!

Story
Hi there! I’m Yogurt! I’m a sweet and playful 3-4-year-old boxer mix, weighing in at a lovable 60 pounds.  I’m super, super friendly, and I love other dogs, but would probably do best in a home as the only pup. I was patiently waiting at a shelter in Tennessee, but it’s gotten crowded because of all the dogs displaced by Hurricane Helene. I came in a stray, and nobody has come for me, so now I'm thrilled that I was lucky enough to come to NJ and find you! I am currently living with a foster family with older kids and I love them, but its not a forever kind of thing and I'm still on the hunt for my fur-ever. I'm looking for a very patient and low energy home, as I can sometime get anxious (especially when being outside - I'm still learning the ropes!) I recently learned how fun toys and balls can be. And then there's the nightly couch cuddle I can't resist. I do great in the crate when my family is not home and at night. I also know some basic manners like sit, paw and leave it.  If you’re looking to open your heart and home to a new best friend, please consider adopting me. When you bring me home, you’ll also make space for other dogs who are still waiting for help. You can apply at www.peace4paws.org/adoption-application. I can’t wait to meet you! Let’s make room for more friends in need.If you have specific adoption or foster questions, please email: judy.atchison@yahoo.com THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN RESCUING A DOG!
