My story

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

Running on empty?  Need a boost?  Cortado (male) is here to save the day!  He's one of our coffee klatch pups.  But these guys need no caffeine to power them - they've got all the puppy power they need.

The coffee klatch litter was found abandoned underneath a trailer.  But now that they've been brought into rescue, they have a lot to talk about.  They appear to be about 2 months old and weigh approximately 8 pounds (as of 9/18).  We think they may be shepherd mixes.  They are all doing wonderfully - playful, wiggly, snuggly pups who's motto is play hard, sleep hard...and repeat.

They are currently receiving there puppy vaccinations and will be microchipped prior to adoption.

  • Personality: friendly, playful, affectionate, energetic
  • Good with: people of all ages (including kids), and dogs.  Has not been cat tested yet.
  • Training: unknown at this time
  • Estimated date of birth: July 2025
  • Weight: approximately 8 pounds (as of 9/18)
  • Medical: vetted, receiving puppy vaccinations, microchipped
  • Location: 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
