Story
Meet Jenny, Ready for Her Forever Home!  We may never know Jenny’s past, but this brave little girl isn’t letting anything hold her back. At 4-5 years old, Jenny is full of life, always wagging her tail, and bringing joy to everyone she meets. Jenny has a break in her back and one hind leg she can't use, so she needs a little help going up and down stairs—but don’t worry, she’s only 13 pounds and will look at you with those sweet, grateful eyes as you carry her. Aside from avoiding stairs and skipping long walks, Jenny is just like any other pup! She’s house-trained, loves people, and is friendly with pets her size, even cats! Jenny would thrive in a home without bigger dogs, as they could be too much for her physically. If you're looking for a loyal, loving companion who will warm your heart every day, Jenny is waiting to meet you.  Please apply to adopt Jenny at rescueridge.com, and if your application is a possible match, a volunteer will get back to you shortly.  No inquiry without an adoption application. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 19, 2024, 1:56 pm

Story
Valentine's Holiday Wish List &#226&#128&#139Meet Baby Valentine! This adorable Shih Tzu mix was named because he was surrendered on Valentine’s Day. Despite inheriting seizures from his dad, Baby Valentine is too busy being the happiest pup to notice! Baby Valentine needs to take his meds every day (one of them every eight hours—yes, he has a schedule!), but don’t worry—they're very inexpensive. He’s used to taking them without fuss and goes right back to playing with every toy he can find and running around with his foster sister, trying to show her that he’s just as big and brave as she is! He needs a special human who can keep up with his meds routine. Baby Valentine is a ball of energy who loves everyone and everything! Now, he’s looking for his forever home. Baby Valentine gets along great with other dogs, though he hasn't been tested with cats yet. He’s doing really well with leash training and is already pee pad trained. Plus, he’s getting the hang of using the bathroom outside. At only about 10 lbs, he’s a small pup who won’t grow much bigger. Baby Valentine loves car rides and enjoys going everywhere with his foster mom. If you’re looking for a buddy who will shower you with love every time he sees you, whether it’s been a minute or 5 hours, Baby Valentine is the one! Interested in adopting Valentine? Please visit www.huskyhouse.org today to fill out an application.   December 10, 2024, 5:28 pm

Story
Bourbon's Holiday Wish List &#226&#128&#139Meet Bourbon! He’s a shih tzu mix (mom is a shih tzu, dad is a schnauzer) who was surrendered from a backyard breeder due to seizures. He takes inexpensive medication four times a day, but he’s not happy about it, so his foster mom continuously comes up with new ways to get him to take it. He’s doing great in his foster home with other small dogs. He’s a 6 pound ball of energy who loves to play, but he will also snuggle up on his foster mom’s lap. He loves toys!! He’s only had one seizure in the 6 weeks we’ve had him, because his meds needed adjusting. He hasn’t had any issues since. Interested in adopting Bourbon? Please visit www.huskyhouse.org today to fill out an application.December 10, 2024, 5:28 pm

Story
Rocco is 10-12 years old and weighs 12 pounds. He's an equal opportunity lover of dogs, respectful kids and any human who will be his friend. He's an outdoor enthusiast who needs a fenced yard to safely enjoy his adventures. His favorite pastime? Being by your side! Since his beloved owner went into hospice care, Rocco thrives best with someone who’s home often. Rocco has some vision and hearing loss and may need a hand with stairs, but his spirit is unstoppable! Sometimes he barks for no reason but a little distraction does the trick. While we believe he’s housetrained, we use a "male wrap" (belly band) just in case. He’s not on any medication and his recent bloodwork and vet notes show he's doing fine for a senior! We are looking for a "Forever Foster" for Rocco. We'll supply everything Rocco needs for life – all you need to do is provide a loving home, just like you would your own pet. We’re looking for a family within a reasonable distance from Barnegat, NJ, so he can visit our vet in town. In the alternative, if you would like to adopt Rocco as your very own companion, we are absolutely open to that! And so is Rocco! Please consider becoming Rocco's forever family by completing an application at www.pounddogfounddog.org or share Rocco’s story with anyone who might be the perfect match.
