My personality

My story

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

Are you looking for a dog who is equally ready to go out with you on adventures and then come home and snuggle on your lap?  Verdi, is your girl.  This sweet momma pup was dropped off at a vet office for surgery, but she was so pregnant at the time she went into labor before they could begin.  The owner didn't want any of the puppies so a person working at the vet office quickly agreed to foster Verdi and her puppies until they were weaned.  Verdi gave birth to 7 beautiful puppies (all adopted).  Shortly after their birth, Verdi's owner surrendered her to the foster saying Verdi would be better off.

Verdi is a 51 pound black mouth cur mix, who is just over a year old.  She is up to date on her vaccinations and was recently spayed.  Her foster says she "loves to be loved" - she will climb into your lap and happily accept and reciprocate any and all snuggles.  She does have energy so she will do best with an active person/family and would love a place to run.  Her mom was a working dog and Verdi seems to have some of those same personality traits.  Verdi loves to play with other dogs and she is great with kids - she has currently taken on the role of protector for her fosters' grandkids!

Lets find this well deserving girl a forever home!

  • Personality: smart, friendly, playful, affectionate, lapdog, energetic
  • Good with: people of all ages (including kids), and dogs.  Cows too (lol)!
  • Estimated date of birth: November 2023
  • Weight: 51 pounds
  • Medical: vetted, up to date on vaccinations, spayed, microchipped
  • Location: Verdi is currently located with a foster in Texas, but if adopted, will come to the NJ area on our next transport.

More about this rescue

Friends for Life Animal Rescue is a non-profit, 501(c)3, volunteer-run, foster-based Rescue (no facility).

Our focus is to save the lives of dogs and puppies in high-kill shelters in the south and local owner surrenders.

Our mission is to place unwanted and in-danger animals in homes, regardless of age or breed. To educate the public and help stop animal cruelty and neglect.

We don't discriminate against potential adopters on any basis or for any reason. We approve potential adopters if they are and the animal they applied for is a good fit.

Extra Info.-
*If a dog is listed on Adopt a Pet, they are still available, and we accept applications. We approve applications on the best fit for both dog and family.
*We take our best guess on breed and size when fully grown.
* Our dogs are adopted from their foster home or straight from transport from kill shelters in the south.
*We always need foster homes so we can continue to save dogs. Don't hesitate to contact us if you are interested in fostering. Or fill out the foster application using this link - https://form.jotform.com/210257395409155
