My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Sissy, the most delightful Staffy mix with a heart as big as her smile. Weighing in at 42 pounds and 4 years young, Sissy is the definition of canine charm. With her warm personality, fun-loving spirit, and friendly nature, she's sure to steal your heart from the moment you meet her. We know her very well here at the rescue group and are cheering her on, in the search of finding her forever.

Sissy's journey hasn't been without its challenges, but her resilience and unwavering spirit continue to shine through. Once a cherished member of a loving family, Sissy was given away when they fell on hard times, leading to mistreatment by her new owner. Thankfully fate intervened, and a very pregnant Sissy found herself in the loving arms of the Knox Whitley Shelter in Corbin, KY. There, she received the care and compassion she desperately needed, and welcomed a litter of precious puppies into the world. 

From there, Sissy's journey led her to the kind embrace of a foster family in NJ, where she's now thriving more than ever. Her gentle nature and playful demeanor make her a favorite among adults, kids and canines alike - however a home without cats is ideal. Sissy is housebroken, spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and an all around well-behaved little lady. She is so much more than a rescue dog—she's a testament to a beacon of hope and the power of love.

With her spirit overflowing with joy, Sissy is ready to find her forever family; one that will cherish her unconditionally and provide her with the care she deserves. If you're interested in opening your heart to this amazing pup, apply today at www.peace4paws.org on your computer or laptop (not available on smartphones). Together, let's give Sissy the second chance at happiness that she eagerly awaits.

More about this rescue

Peace4paws is a 501 (c) 3 non profit public charity centered in Northern New Jersey. Through our foster home system, we are able to support the rehoming and adoption of dogs from kill shelters as well as facilities of research and related fields. Founded in 2007, our initial mission focused on supporting sanctuary and forever homes for animals retired from use in research and related fields. In the past few years we have broadened our scope of rescue. We continue to help our own retired research animals and independent sanctuaries but also save shelter dogs. We are able to do this work through the efforts of our volunteer network and generous donors. Please see our website or facebook page "Peace4Paws" to meet our adoptable dogs, success stories or volunteer opportunities. We organize fundraising events centered around yoga, music, health, or animal friendly activities. We are also involved with student outreach and education. We would love to work with you.


Our Motto...

Research Animals Make Exceptional Pets!
