Story
This is Kida, she is a 4year old bluenose pitbull that is sweet and loving big baby. She has been an inside dog her whole life with me since 2021 and loves to be the center of attention. Kida needs a new place to call home for she has out grown apartment style living and moms busywork schedule. Kida is not spayed and would be a great addition for breeders. Kida has a beautiful gray/blue coat with white highlights and when given TLC glows so nice in the sun and all black nails except one pink/natural color on each paw. Kida does not like getting her nails clipped and doesn’t like baths but does and will tolerate them. Kida has been trained some common commands like Sit, Gentle, Come, Lay and Jump. Kida is not good with small children or very little kids or other small dogs. She is great with teenagers and adults and large dogs of her size. If you have any additional questions please feel free to reach out. I just want to find my sweet girl a good home.

Story
Russel is a very sweet boy that needs a lot of love, patience, and understanding. Russel is high energy and thrives with lots of exercise. He definitely needs a secure area because he is fast as lightning. He is very anxious and cowers when you raise your voice or hand. He obviously was in a abusive home at one time. He is friendly to dogs and people. Russell is very loving and enjoys a belly rubs and long walks. He is crate trained but is still nervous when you leave him, therefore he will need some additional reinforcement to build his trust. Russel will be your best bud if you just open your heart up to him If interested, please call at 973-647-2213 or email maryannm864@aol.com.

Story
Family friend found her when she was a very young puppy and we took her in over a year ago. She is very energetic and happy to see everyone. Not fixed but starting to understand house training. We are trying to find her a new home as we are pregnant and do not believe we’ll be able to give her enough attention with a baby on the way.

Adopted at shelter 2 years ago. He is around 9 years old. He is very energetic for an older dog loves to play and run around. We do have another dog and cat in the home with him and they get along fine. Reason we are wanting to find him a new home is we are pregnant and do not see him getting the attention he deserves.

Story
When I got here last August I picked up two puppies that had been abandoned/dumped on the side of the road. They are now fully up to date on shots, approximately 10/11 months old, neutered and chipped but I can no longer keep them both. As littermates they are having some aggression issues with one-another and I also have 3 Small Senior Dog Rescues (all 15 years old) and my black dog (in the picture) Onyx has shown territorial aggression to other dogs. He really needs to be in a home with no other pets. He is absolutely an amazing, loving dog dog who is wonderful with people, children, seniors, neighbors etc. He know his basic commands like sit, shake paws etc and loves to play fetch with his ball, lay in the sun, sleep in bed with me and I beyond devastated to rehome him but I know he will thrive in the right home with someone who can provide him with the 1x1 training he needs and deserves. he has a great temperament but a high prey drive for small or other animals.

Story
In February of 2024, Boy and Girl ran up to my car and jumped right in. We tried for over an hour to find their home only to be told by multiple people they had been abandoned by their owners. I was told by animal control they couldn’t pick them up until the next week so to keep them from freezing, I took them to my home. After a week, I called to see when they’d be coming to get them and they told me they’d be there that day. No one ever came. I tried and tried to find rescues or shelters or even fosters/adopters in facebook groups to rehome these babies. They are completely bonded. I do believe they’re only about a year and a half old. The female has just come out of her second heat cycle. I have not vetted them and because they were abandoned, I don’t know any of their medical history. They are very loving and need a home where they can run around and play all day. They will come with their harnesses and leashes. Crate and potty trained. Good with all animals and people of all ages.
