Story
Nova is a spayed female dog who is up to date on vaccines and was rescued at around 12 weeks old from the Westchester ASPCA. She is around 1.5 years old, with an assumed birthdate at the end of February. She is very loving and affectionate. But has high energy and needs a home where she will get plenty of attention. She is currently in a home with a 10&7 year old, however, because of her high energy, she likely should not be in a home with children. She has no aggression issues when it comes to food, or toys. If you are an adult household looking for a forever best friend, please think of adopting Nova as our family just is not a good fit for her.

Story
Holly Berry (Holly) is estimated to be around 1.5 years old, and is 54 lbs. She’s a happy, high-energy girl. We first saw Holly on a shelter kill list so we fought to get her an extension on her euthanization date. We were successful so we were able to get her out of the shelter, and arranged to get her fully vetted, spayed, and microchipped. She’s now ready to travel to NJ on the next transport to meet her new family. She is very friendly and looking for someone to love her. She adores belly rubs and will happily drop in your lap for snuggles. She gets very excited when she meets new people. She wags her tail hard and fast. Holly is a strong girl, but she walks well on a leash. She is afraid of fireworks. She is playful - one of her favorite games is fetch, and she’s pretty good at catching a ball mid-air. We do recommend kids 15 and up due to her higher energy and strength. Holly is good with other dogs but can be selective. If another dog is too dominant she’ll challenge them so she would probably do best in a home where she is an only dog. The best home for Holly will be an active family with kids that are 15 years or older. A high non-chain link fenced backyard would be best for her. And she would do well with an owner who has experience with Shepherds or similar large high-energy breeds. She should be the only pet, or live with a submissive dog. She's okay with outside dogs but does play rough.

Story
Layla was saved from the streets in the south about two years ago. She’s probably around 3 years old, 45 pounds, fully grown and both house and crate trained. And now, it's time for her to find her own family! Layla is spayed and updated on vaccines and will be microchipped when she goes home. She is friendly but very shy, so like most dumped dogs, she will need some time to understand she is safe and loved by her new family. Layla is not a barker and is very gentle. She is good with other dogs and cats but doesn’t choose to play with them. She is very food-motivated which is good for training but if there are other animals at home, feedings should be done in separate areas. Layla will do best in a quiet home without kids and big parties. She needs a family who will give her lots of love and the time for her to understand that she is in a loving, and safe forever home. If adopted, she can come to NJ on our next transport and go directly to her new home.

Story
“My name is Leonard Skynard (Lenny) and I am guaranteed to rock your world, In a good way of course. I am a a 6 month old mix of pure perfection, that’s what my foster mom says. I weigh about 45 pounds and growing by the minute. I’m a good very good boy. I am playful but I also love a good nap. I am young so I am used to hearing, ‘no Lenny', ‘drop it Lenny’, ‘give me that Lenny’ but I’m learning. I live with 3 other dogs and I just love them. I also live with 3 other furry things that meow. I do like to chase them but I mean no harm. I am crate trained and I go right in without a peep. I am doing great with my house breaking. I am a fun guy. I would make a great family member to any family.” - Lenny Leonard Skynard was rescued in Texas along with his Mom and siblings. A good samaritan found them and reached out to us for help. The whole family was living outside in the heat and were severely dehydrated and malnourished. Poor Momma pup was trying the best she could, but they were literally just skin and bones. Lenny and his siblings each weighed just 2 - 4 pounds (at 10 weeks old) and Mom was just around 20 pounds when our Texas foster was able to pick them up. Lenny got sick and lost even more weight but he wasn’t going to give up and as you can see from the pictures above, he has fully recovered and is a happy, healthy pups these days. He is enjoying every opportunity to be pet and loved. He loves to follow his foster mom around and sleep on her lap. He is currently being fostered in PA.

Story
Sabre is a shar-pei mix who we think is the missing sibling of Jody and Buffy. Jody and Buffy were found on the highway after one of their siblings was hit by a truck. Sabre, and the mother, weren’t found with them. But after a few months we got a call from the shelter and they had found a pregnant pup who looked to be Jody and Buffy’s sibling. She didn’t have much time left in the shelter before she was scheduled for euthanization so we didn’t think twice about pulling her out immediately. Just two days after she arrived at our Texas foster’s house, she gave birth to nine beautiful puppies - 2 of which are still looking for their forever homes - Vodka and Whiskey who are also posted for adoption. Sabre was an incredible young mother, but now it's time for her to start enjoying life for herself. Sabre is estimated to be just about a year old. She is fully vaccinated and will be spayed before going home. She is a very loving girl, and very friendly with all the animals and the humans that she mets. She walks well on a leash. She seems to be house-trained. Her foster says she is a great dog!! Sabre is currently in Texas but will be transported to NJ when adopted.
