Story
Meet the Prince of Princes…a King in the making! Little Reginald. Reginald is an 11 month old, 12 lb Shih Tzu mix that is full of all the joy and bounciness of a Shih Tzu puppy!! He is already crate-trained, and housebroken (using a doggy door). Smart little guy! He is great with children, and other dogs. We are unsure how he would do with cats. He is a super sweet and playful puppy that loves to roll over for belly rubs!! Reginald is in rescue because sadly, he was abandoned in a field in a crate. Fortunately our rescue was able to take him in and assure him he will never be abandoned again! **Please note this is pet is currently out of town pet but we will transport this pet to NJ for you when adopted. All fees listed include transport fees.** Interested in becoming this pup’s forever home? For immediate consideration, please fill out our online adoption application: http://www.friendswithfourpaws.org/adoption-form.html This is the first step in our process, and we DO NOT go any further without an application. If there are multiple dogs that you are interested in, please fill out an application for each dog. This does not include bonded pairs, one application will be fine. We have different adoption coordinators working with different dogs, and your application may be missed if you only apply once. Find more adoptable pets, news and information on Instagram @friendswithfourpaws or our Facebook page Friends with Four Paws . We put a lot of time and energy into processing our adoptions to find our babies the best fit home for them and you. Please do not submit an application if you are not serious about adopting. We are so excited to work with you to find you a new forever friend, and the perfect forever home for our dogs. We appreciate you working with us. Our adoption fees cover spay/neuter surgery, full (age appropriate) vaccinations, microchip insertion and registration, deworming, heartworm testing and prevention, flea and tick prevention and travel expenses. All of our dogs are rescued from local shelters and the general public. Each dog is then placed in a foster home where he/she is kept for quarantine, to ensure if the dog gets sick it can receive proper treatment. We have foster homes in the NJ/NY area waiting to receive their fosters. Once an animal has received an application or there's an adopter interested, we make arrangements for transport. If a dog is already in foster care in NYC/NJ, an adopter will be put in touch with the foster home AFTER an application is being processed. Thank you in advance for your patience with our process and for making adoption YOUR option!

Story
Don't know where they came up with the saying 'cute as a button' but if the saying it's wear it. And Presley certainly does! This boy was found in the most deplorable of conditions, but despite all he's been through, he's a happy, playful little guy who just seems so grateful for his new lease on life. Presley requires a fenced yard. Presley is estimated to be about 4 years old. He's neutered, up to date on vaccines and microchipped.   Interested in adopting me?  To fill out an application visit 3 Hearts 4 Paws.  Please note: we generally do not adopt out of state unless it is within 1-2 hours of us.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 28, 2025, 10:21 am

Story
Check out the "before" photo of Pirate to see how neglected he was before coming into rescue with NorthStar! But he's had a grooming and looks like a whole new dog! He does have a bulging eye which may have to be removed, hence the name "Pirate".  As we find out more about Pirate's personality, we will be updating his bio with new information. He also has a puncture wound in his back, probably from being attacked by another dog. Pirate will be making his way to NJ as soon as possible to find a loving & safe retirement home. If you'd like to meet him, please fill out an adoption application at www.northstarpets.org & ask for him by name, PIRATE TX!January 27, 2025, 6:47 pm

Story
Shadow’s a 2yo 6lb Shih Tzu mix. He’s dog, cat and kid 6+ friendly. He’s house trained when kept on a schedule and is crate trained. He’s good in a secure fenced in yard and/or going for harness leashed walks. He is a known escape artist so will really need to watch him in a yard and needs work on leash walking. He likes playing with toy, especially toys that he can chew on or play tug of war with. He loves to be with his people to cuddle and play/wrestle with other small dogs. He still has a lot of puppy energy. He’s very good with being bathed/groomed/getting nails clipped. Shadow’s foster requires he have another young playful small dog in the home, get daily exercise to help with all his energy and help stimulate him mentally, be allowed to be with his people as much as possible including sleeping in bed with them along with people who are on board to show leadership, consistency, structure and to continue working on training. If your home DOES NOT meet these requirements, please DO NOT put an application in. We will not call anyone whose home does not meet the needed requirements. Also, we will be concentrating on local to foster applications 1st since home checks and meets with all humans and animals in home is needed at meet. Our fosters are all volunteers so aren’t always able to travel too far. Shadow’s neutered, vaccinated, hw negative and microchipped. Currently in Phila, PA. If your home meets the needed requirements and you’re interested in applying to adopt please do so at www.tprescue.org

Story
Hi there! I’m Mopsey, but you can call me Lulu! I’m a sweet, gentle 5-year-old, 10 lb little lady, and I’m finally living the good life after being freed from my old life as a breeding dog. It’s been a big change, but I’m loving it! I’m learning all about the joys of being part of a family, and let me tell you, there’s a lot to love! Cozy beds, playtime, lounging and gazing out of windows (one of my favorite things), and most of all, being with my humans. I’m still figuring it all out, but I’m a quick learner, and I’d do great in a home where someone’s around most of the time.  I'm good with kids, other dogs, and cats. I’m looking for a family that will shower me with love and patience — because I’m a total cuddle bug who just wants to be by your side! I’d also really love having another doggy friend to help me feel comfortable in my new home. I’m pretty good on a leash, although I am a social butterfly who loves to say hi to every person, child, and dog I see! I’m friendly with everyone I meet and can’t help but draw a crowd with my cuteness and sweet demeanor. Oh, and I LOVE car rides! I’m so relaxed in the car that I’ll happily nap in your lap while you run errands, go to restaurants, or even head to the movies like my foster mom does with me. My favorite time of day, though, is bedtime. I love knowing I get you all to myself, and I’ll snuggle up close so we can drift off to sleep together. I’ve even learned how to play with toys and I really love it when you play with me. I’m a gentle soul, and grooming is a breeze because I trust you completely. All I really want is your company and to be loved — is that too much to ask? I’m spayed, microchipped, and up to date on my vaccines, and I’m just waiting to meet the family who will cherish me as much as I’ll cherish them! If you’re ready to bond with a sweet, loving companion, my adoption fee is $415. Apply to adopt me, MOPSEY LONESTAR (AKA Lulu), at EHRdogs.org, and let’s begin this exciting journey together!
