Story
Kenai was rescued by us as a puppy from Texas. She is 4 years old (DOB 6/11/19). She became a reactive dog around 10 months old despite taking her to puppy classes and desensitization classes as well as socializing her through puppy day care and beyond. When COVID pandemic arrived, we had to move and lost access to the daycare. In our new neighborhood there are many dogs - she has found great dog friends, whom she is always eager to play with. However, certain situtations trigger her anxiety, and in turn, her reactiveness. Dogs that "stare her down" or reactiveness of other dogs will trigger her to raise her hackles and react in turn. Night walks, with low visibility, puts her more on edge. Despite working with a dedicated behaviorist and medication, her unease is clear. At home, and to those she knows, she is absolutely loving, sweet, and gentle (inc. kids/men). No resource issues. She would thrive in a wide open space where there are less distractions, fewer unknown dogs.

Story
Lilly is literally the sweetest, most patient, excited girl! She has always been super patient with our children (even when they were antagonizing her). She loves eating grass, going on long walks, chewing on her toys, licking hands, cuddling, getting tummy rubs, and giving kisses!! She loves to play with other dogs, mostly other girls (behaved boys are ok too as long as they don’t hump, she’s a lady lol). She has always preferred humans over dogs but has never had issues socializing . She has a bestie now who is a pup but Lilly keeps up during play . Lilz is overall a very very sweet dog. Unfortunately we can no longer keep her due to relocating to a place with no yard and limited space. We’d love for her to go to someone active as she has a lot of energy. She can laze around too but will get into mischief if not exercised. Overall she is a great family dog and a great partner and will stay off the furniture unless you allow it. She’s also a quick learner and easy to train

Story
Say hello to sweet Tiger!  Tiger is a very affectionate boy who will be your best friend forever. He is 2 years old, 75 lbs and wants to be the center of someone's world, as he loves people, especially teenagers. He is very treat-motivated and easily trainable.  Tiger is very playful with other dogs.  He could be in a home as an only dog to hog all the attention, or in a very bully savvy home with one other friendly young dog. He did not have the best start in life, so he is a little clumsy when meeting. Nothing that patience and consistency cannot improve. Training and enrichment to help him focus would benefit him greatly as well. He is a curious, intelligent dog. A fenced yard is a must. No cats, as he will chase them.  Tiger really deserves a great forever home!  He is an adorable dog who loves to please people and he's so handsome!  Tiger is fully vaccinated and neutered.  He is in New Jersey (but adoptable anywhere on the east coast) and would love to meet you! If you would like to make Tiger a much loved part of your family, send in an application today! Interested in adopting? Of course you are! Submit an application here! November 3, 2024, 3:32 pm

Story
Hey there, I'm Dasher! As you can probably guess, I love to dash around and I've got plenty of energy to keep up with all your adventures. I'm an athletic and playful young puppy, and I love to play, whether it's a game of fetch or just running around in the yard. I'm always up for a good time and I'm sure I can keep up with you no matter what you have in mind. I'm a loving and affectionate pup, and I can't wait to find a home where I can give all my love. I'm also a bit of a cuddle bug, so be ready for lots of snuggles once we're done with all our playing! I'm still a young pup and I'm just learning about the world, so I would love an owner who can show me the ropes and give me lots of love and attention. I should mention that I'm not sure how I feel about other dogs just yet, so if you have any canine companions at home, it might be best if we met to see if we're a good match. If you're ready for a playful and loving pup to join your family, then I'm your boy!

Story
4 Year old Trina is the epitome of happiness on four legs. One of her favorite activities is giving play bows – she's always up for a game of chase or fetch in the yard! And when she's really excited, she'll prance around with pure delight, her tail wagging a mile a minute. But Trina's sweetness extends far beyond her playful antics. She's incredibly affectionate and loves nothing more than cuddling up with her favorite humans. Don't be surprised if she tries to convince you that she's a lap dog – she's got a heart as big as her love for snuggles! This smart girl is a quick learner and is already a pro at walking nicely on a leash. Plus, she's very treat motivated, which makes training sessions a breeze. She's mastered the "sit" command and is eager to learn more tricks to impress her new family. Trina's gentle nature and friendly demeanor make her a hit with everyone she meets. She just wants to be by your side, soaking up all the love and attention you have to give. Whether you're going for a leisurely stroll in the park or relaxing at home, Trina is happiest when she's with her humans. If you're searching for a loyal companion who will fill your days with laughter, love, and endless cuddles, look no further than Trina. Welcome this bundle of joy into your life! Adopt Trina and let the love story begin.
