Story
Meet Your New Best Friend!    Looking for a loyal companion to brighten your days? Meet Fergus, a charming and well-behaved dog who is looking for a new home due to his humans having some serious health issues. Fergus is an absolute sweetheart who adores people of all ages, including children.  He is 5 yrs old and 65 lbs. He’s spent time  in a  home for  a while  and has learned the ropes and is now a pro at being the best boy ever!  Fergus is: •  Well-trained: He knows commands like sit, stay, down, place, heel, and more! •  Leash-savvy: Walks with Fergus are a dream—he’s got great manners on a leash. •  Affectionate and loyal: Fergus thrives on love and will be your shadow, always ready to cuddle or play. Fergus would do best as the only animal in the house. While he’s fantastic with people, he prefers being the star of the show and isn’t a fan of sharing his space with other dogs or cats.  Due to his breed, Fergus also has a sensitive stomach and after much trial and error, we have found a very good food for him.  It will be necessary for you to continue feeding him veterinarian-prescribed food, Hills Science Diet Gastro  Biome  dry food If you’re looking for a faithful friend who’s ready to give you endless love and companionship, Fergus is the perfect match! He’s ready to bring joy, laughter, and lots of tail wags to your life. With a successful adoption of Fergus, his current humans will be providing the following as part of the adoption: •  Oversized crate with bedding -  where  Fergus sleeps at night •  Additional comfy bed for anywhere else in your home •  Two cold weather jackets and one  raincoat •  Three six-foot nylon leashes •  Fergus’ most favorite toys for your home •  One full bag of Gastro  Biohm  Dry food Please apply to adopt Fergus at rescueridge.com and if your application is a possible match a volunteer will get back to you shortly.  No inquiry, please, without an application.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 23, 2025, 11:18 pm

Story
This gorgeous pup is Cairo. He is a 6-month-old American Bully weighing in at 71lbs. Cairo was brought up in a loving home and was only surrendered due to his owner becoming ill. He was taken care of, loved, and kept up to date with all vaccines. Cairo is a joy to be around and loves attention. He is learning to walk nicely on a leash and learn some basic commands and manners. Cairo is going to be an extra large dog when fully grown. We are looking for a home that is experienced and equipped to deal with a pup that will likely grow to be around 100lbs. We would like to go to a home with no other pets so his new family can devote all their time to him and his development. If you would like to add this beautiful boy to your family, please apply to adopt him at Rescueridge.com. If your application is a possible match, a volunteer will contact you shortly.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Fill out an Adoption Application Brief description: Elliot is a sweet little low-rider fellow who wants to be by your side at all times. Weighing in at about 35 lbs, he is a perfect lap dog. He’s your ride or die, always willing to do whatever you’re in the mood for, whether its having a lazy on the couch or taking a hike in the woods. He enjoys being around people and just wants to be the center of attention. He’s house and crate trained and responds well to commands. He is quite the quirky character and will make you laugh with the way he hops around when he’s happy or lays with his legs straight up in the air when he’s sleeping. Likes: Loves attention from his humans. He likes to sit by your feet all day, whether you’re working at your desk or watching TV, he’ll be right there with you. Did you say ‘get the ball?’ Elliot’s favorite game is playing fetch. This makes him very happy, and you can tell because he starts hopping like a bunny when he’s playing fetch to show his enthusiasm. He’s very food motivated and will do anything you ask him when a treat is involved. Dislikes: The only thing that seems to annoy him is when his foster brother tries to hump him, but to be expected, lol! Personality: Elliot is very cuddly and touchy and wants to be involved in everything you do. He doesn’t know the concept of personal space. He listens well and is down for anything; he can be spunky or chill and will adapt to your mood. He has a very happy-go-lucky attitude and just wants to please you. If you’re looking for a snuggle companion, he’s your guy. Temperament: Very friendly to everyone he meets and can be quite the little ham. When he wants attention, he’ll jump right into your lap and stare up at you until you pet his head. He is always good for a laugh with his quirky little ways. If traveling is your thing, he’s good in the car, enjoys taking walks, and adapts well to new environments. But what he enjoys most is being a lap dog. Energy level: Spurts of energy when he wants you to play, then other times he is very chill and lazy. Favorite activities: Playing fetch with the ball, walks, car rides, playing with toys, and chilling on the sofa. Good with cats, dogs, and kids (over 6)?: Elliot is good with other dogs; he just needs a slow introduction so he can be sure the the other dog is a really his friend. Once he realizes the other dog is going to be cool with him, he’s good to go and wants nothing more than to play and have fun. He has a few scars around his face, so he may have been attacked by other dogs who weren’t so nice to him in his past life. He seems to get along better with calmer dogs who aren’t intrusive of his personal space. He’s good with people in general; men, women, & children. Kids under 10 are probably not good idea only because he can get wound up and hyper-focused on his toys, especially when playing fetch. Not good with: He’s never been around cats so not sure. Housetrained: YES, Elliot is fully house trained. As soon as you let him outside, he’ll pee and poop right away, he doesn’t waste any time doing his business so he can get right back to you. Crate trained: Yes. If you say “crate” he’ll walk right in and waits for his treats. Other times, he goes in by himself just to chill. Requires a fenced yard (physical fence and/or invisible fence)?: Elliot would do fine either with or without a fenced yard. He has a good recall, but still needs to be leashed for safety. Walks well on a leash?: Does well on a leash and enjoys taking walks. Doesn’t pull and listens well. Challenges: Not many! He’s very easy going and adapts quickly to his environment. However, he has a tendency to be very invasive of your space and will try to get in your lap at all costs, whether it means stepping on your laptop or knocking your drink out of your hand. But that’s being pretty nit picky, as he’s a pretty darn near perfect. Any Medical issues?: No What would be the best kind of home?: Elliot would do well in a home that gives him plenty of lap-time, snuggles, and attention. He would do well as an only dog or in a home that has a calmer, more chill dog. If you work outside of the home, that’s no problem. He’s house-trained and well-behaved; he doesn’t chew or get into things he not supposed to. He’d probably do best with kids over 10 only because he can be intense when he plays and gets hyper-focused on his toys. Application Fees, Adoption Donations and Rescue Policy: Please know that 100% of our fees and donations pay for the costs of rescuing dogs. These include but are not limited to pull fees from shelters, veterinary examinations, vaccinations, medications and care, microchips, neuter/spay surgeries, heartworm treatments, behavior evaluations, and foster care, as needed.

Meet RUSSIA 💞At 8 years young this gal finds herself at the shelter after one of her parents passed away and the other moved out of state. Yes, very sad....BUT....the wiggle butt on this girl and that smile and those eyes -- she is making the most of shelter living and such a happy girl!!We believe it would be best for RUSSIA to be the only dog in the home. She is large kid approved (teenager age+). She will make the perfect companion for someone who wants to take a few meandering walks a day and then snuggle on the couch and read a book or watch some TV. She is overall very chill once she burns off that little bit of energy 💗We are open daily from 12-4:30 for adoptions, rescue, and fostering! Please email us for an application at tintonfallsahs@ahsppz.org or call us at 732.922.0100 with any questions!Come visit RUSSIA🐾 #adoptme #ahstintonfalls #shareme #rescueme #monmouthcountynj #adoptashelterpet Primary Color: White Weight: 69 Age: 9yrs 7mths 2wks

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. wagoninn.rescuegroups.org Buddha aka Butters, is a stunning looking Pit mix who originally came from Louisiana as a stray.  He weighs about 70 lbs. He is approximately 3 years old, and though he is loved by his family,  he is looking for a new home with a fenced in yard & active playmate. He lives with another dog that he loves, 2 cats that he tolerates well, and 4 children that he is very good with. He is reactive to dogs on leash, but with patience & a proper introduction, he does very well.  He is a big snuggle bug with his current owner.  He rarely barks and greets all visitors and people outside beautifully.  He knows some commands and takes treats very nicely.  We feel he would benefit from off leash exercise. Buddah/Butters is a sweet lover boy!   Could you give this handsome hunk the life he deserves? He is fixed, microchipped and he is up to date on vaccines. Buddha tested negative for  heartworm. His adoption fee is $450. He is here in NJ ready to meet you!   How to Adopt Me!
