Story
My name is Axle. However, my foster parents lovingly call me "Nico." We feel like Axle might be a little too hard core for my personality. I am not hard core at all. I am about 7 to 8 months and 45 lbs. I was really skinny when I went into rescue. Now I am filling out like a champ! I am a smart but timid boy; at least timid at first. I absolutely love my dog friends and will be looking for one or two canine friends in my future forever home. I am not picky about size or gender. I benefit from watching, following and learning from them. They provide me with a little more confidence while I learn what the world is! Don't worry, I love my humans too when I get to know and trust them. My foster parents are very special to me! I don't have a mean bone in my hound/collie body. I could live with a patient family of humans that includes kids. 8+ would be ideal just because I can be a bit skittish around some loud noises; older kids might understand me a bit more! I have not been around cats in my foster home but we are pretty sure a cat would rule. I am housebroken and crate trained. I am relaxed when my humans have to leave for a bit. I am an easy guy to have around for a family that will let me take my time to settle in, learn the ropes and go at my own pace.

Story
FOREVER HOME NEEDED!!  Kubo came to us in 2020, and was adopted relatively quickly! Unfortunately, his owners could not handle Kubo and it led to them needing to return him. He was terrified upon being back at the kennel, a completely different dog than what had came to us originally. We found Kubo a wonderful foster home where he has been for 2 years! He never receives ANY interest . We are now desperate. Kubo's foster is returning to work and will not have enough time to care for him. This poor boy needs his FOREVER home ASAP!!! Kubo is a very smart 5 year old cuddle bug. He LOVES to cuddle on his person and be around them. He has been undergoing training and has come such a long way. Kubo is good with other dogs but can be very vocal when seeing them outside which is part of what his training has consisted of. He would do amazing in a lower traffic home with adults/older teens. If you are interested in Kubo, visit EHRDOGS.ORG and fill out an application for KUBO (function () { // Only on animal detail pages if (!/\/animals\/detail/i.test(location.pathname)) return; // Debounce to avoid double-fire (touchend + click, etc.) var lastNavAt = 0; function toFullSize(url) { try { var u = new URL(url, location.href); u.searchParams.delete('width'); u.searchParams.delete('height'); return u.toString(); } catch (e) { return url || ''; } } function looksLikeAnimalPhoto(url) { return /\/pictures\/animals\/\d+\/\d+\/[^?#]+\.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)/i.test(url || ''); } function handler(e) { var el = e.target; if (!el) return; // Find the closest anchor or image in the click path var a = el.closest ? el.closest('a') : null; var img = el.closest ? el.closest('img') : null; var url = ''; // Prefer anchor href if it points to an animal photo if (a && a.getAttribute) { var href = a.getAttribute('href') || ''; if (href && (href.indexOf('/pictures/animals/') !== -1 || looksLikeAnimalPhoto(href))) { url = href; } } // Otherwise fall back to the image src if (!url && img && img.getAttribute) { var src = img.getAttribute('src') || ''; if (src && (src.indexOf('/pictures/animals/') !== -1 || looksLikeAnimalPhoto(src))) { url = src; } } if (!url) return; // Absolute URL + full-size version try { url = new URL(url, location.href).toString(); } catch (_) {} url = toFullSize(url); // Stop PrettyPhoto (and any other delegated click handlers) e.preventDefault(); e.stopPropagation(); if (e.stopImmediatePropagation) e.stopImmediatePropagation(); // Debounce var now = Date.now(); if (now - lastNavAt < 500) return; lastNavAt = now; // SAME TAB navigation to the full-size image location.href = url; } // Capture phase is the key: we get the event before PrettyPhoto.

Story
Sadie is wonderfully outgoing and incredibly friendly. She loves meeting new people and makes fast friends wherever she goes. Kind, sweet, and full of affection, she thrives on being around her humans and sharing life’s little moments with them. She’s fully home-trained and has great house manners. One of her favorite things in the world is a tasty treat—especially if it’s a little homemade meal made with love. But what really makes Sadie happiest is being outside. Long walks, exploring new paths, and staying active are what keep her tail wagging the most. She’s an energetic girl who would do best with someone who enjoys staying active and giving her plenty of exercise. Sadie isn’t just a dog—she’s a loyal companion, a walking buddy, and a sweet soul looking for a loving home where she can share her joy every single day. Whoever welcomes Sadie into their life will gain a best friend who loves deeply and unconditionally.

Story
My name is Hutch! I am about 6.5 years old and 60 lbs. Okay - perhaps my ideal weight would be 55 but it's been a long winter! My family loved me so so much and the decision to re-home me was not their choice. It was a very hard situation but they have my best interest at heart. I am in a wonderful foster home in CT. My next and final family is out there and will be so lucky to have me. What is so great about me? I love people. I have been around kids too without any issue. I am extremely loyal and love to be close but I am not annoying. I am good with other dogs too. I live with two other dogs in my foster home and I am respectful. I will also play if given the invitation once I am comfortable. I seem to enjoy their company! I can easily live as an only dog too. I have enough confidence and independence where that won't be a problem. I am completely housebroken and trustworthy. No crate needed! I am fine for a few hours if my people need to go out. I walk well on leash and love to get out and about. I am medium energy. Of course, I love my entertainment and exercise but I am a master at cuddling on the couch and just chilling too. I am a wonderful mature age with a lot of years ahead. I am located in CT. If you are interested in me, here is a link to the application: https://www.zivadogrescue.org/adoptable-dogs

Story
My name is Bingo. I am what you think I am - a Cattle Dog or other people may call me a Heeler. Same thing! I am pretty classic aren't I? I am 1 year old and about 40 lbs. I am totally filled out and full grown. Maybe 2 or 3 lbs too filled out! I am a loyal and loving companion and a pleaser. I am great with dogs. I live with two female heelers and I took to them right away. My herding behavior comes out a bit when I am excited and playful but I take their corrections and listen when they are over it! I am good on leash. I love to go for hikes and have been on a jog with my foster mom. I do great! I am quiet and medium energy for a Heeler. I have my moments as young dogs too but tend to follow the lead and the pack. I do need a human or family that will keep me exercised and stimulated. That is key for a Heeler! I bond to my people hard. I love other dogs but don't need them. I rather have that strong relationship with my human or humans. I want them to be my best buddy and take me where they go! I am smart, adaptable and have a lot to offer as I get adjusted and learn! We are not totally sure about cats but think I may be just fine (I don't bother chickens). I also have not been around younger children so 10+ is probably a good age to start with me.

Story
I am one of four and my name is Tipper. My litter consists of me (a boy), another boy and 2 girls. We are an absolutely adorable crew. I am about 3 months old and 14 lbs. My dad was a fluffy Aussie mix. My mom is a short-haired dog; terrier mix of some sort. I was lucky to be turned over to rescue so my pack could have a chance at a normal life with an abundance of love. I am the watcher in my litter. I am not the first one to jump in. I take my time and then decide if I want to get involved. I am peaceful and playful. I love to snuggle up with my humans and dogs too. I am working on my housebreaking and will need all of that normal puppy stuff when I get to my home. I sleep through the night and will adjust wonderfully to a home with a little routine and consistency. I am young enough where kids, cats and dogs could all be a part of my life!
