Story
Travis is an adorable seven month old mixed breed who was picked up in Louisiana. Travis came in very thin. He’s gotten plenty of TLC and extra treats and is looking much better. Like most of the Louisiana dogs we get, his past is pretty unknown, but he is friendly and eager to learn. He is at a great age to learn new things and would love someone to show him the ropes. He's already such a good boy! He loves his pup cups and all the attention he is getting from the volunteers. He is available after 6/28/26. Please apply at https://www.saveadog.org/applytoadopt.asp, and we will get right back to you.

Story
Meet Spade! A spirited two-and-a-half-year-old Boxer/American Pitbull Terrier mix currently in Tinton Falls, NJ, whose essence is a vibrant burst of joy wrapped in a sleek black coat with striking white accents. At around 55 pounds, Spade is a medium-sized charmer who has mastered the art of being both a playful goofball and an affectionate constant companion. If he had his way, he would spend every day curled up as close to his favorite people as possible! Whether he is soaking up sunshine in the yard, roughhousing with enthusiasm, or snuggling beneath a blanket, Spade approaches life with his whole heart. One of his most endearing quirks is his nightly blanket routine. He loves wiggling and burrowing until he creates the perfect cozy nest for sleep. He is also a huge fan of rump scratches and responds with an adorable full-body dance when you find just the right spot! Crinkle toys and interactive toys keep him entertained, and he enjoys car rides, swimming adventures, and plenty of outdoor enrichment in a fully fenced yard. Spade knows “sit” and “paw,” is house-trained, neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. He does well when left alone for reasonable periods and follows a simple routine of twice-daily meals, exercise, and relaxation. Loud noises, storms, and strangers approaching the house can make him uneasy, and he receives daily Fluoxetine to help manage anxiety. Spade needs a loving home where he can be the only pet. As he matured, he developed resource guarding behaviors around food, toys, and other high-value items, which led to serious altercations with another dog in the home that required intervention and veterinary care. Because these situations can arise with little warning, he is not compatible with other dogs or cats and needs a pet-free environment where he can feel secure. With people, Spade is incredibly affectionate and has no history of biting. He prefers not to be disturbed while eating and may give a brief growl if startled awake from a deep sleep to communicate that he needs space. He does best with calm, respectful teenagers or young adults who understand canine boundaries. In the right home, Spade's loving, goofy, and devoted personality truly shines! With the right environment Spade will reward his new family with endless affection, laughter, loyalty, and companionship. Could your family be the next chapter in this lovable boy’s story?
