My story

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

Abby C. is a sensitive, thoughtful girl (not yet 2 years old) who does best in a calm, predictable environment. She prefers women to men and would thrive in an all-female home or with a very patient, understanding male. Abby is not a good fit for a home with children and needs time and space to adjust to new people and surroundings.

She’s looking for an experienced owner who understands shy or reserved dogs and can offer a quiet, low-stress home. Once she feels safe, Abby settles in at her own pace.

In boarding, Abby did well in a group of dogs, though she generally prefers to keep to herself rather than be the center of attention. She would be happy as an only dog or with calm, respectful canine companions.

Abby C. is best suited for someone willing to go slow, earn her trust, and appreciate a dog who forms deep bonds once she feels secure.

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!
