Story
Sadie looks to be a boxer mix who was found tied up outside in Texas.  She was brought to the local shelter and is currently staying in an outdoor kennel.  She is suffering from a skin infection and once we saw pictures of her, we arranged for her to be taken to a vet to try to provide some relief. She was diagnosed with the skin infection and a tick-borne disease (common in the south).  We have paid for her skin treatment and have started her on the medicine for the tick-borne disease.  Unfortunately this poor girl is still in the shelter as we have no available fosters in TX that can take her in.  We will continue trying to find her a temporary foster home for her so she can heal and recover in a comfortable space. Sadie is estimated to be 18 months old and she weighs 40 pounds.  If you would like to apply to adopt Sadie, we will bring her to the NJ area once she has completed her treatment.  We anticipate that she will be ready to arrive on our March transport. Personality: friendly Good with: people, and dogs.  Has not been young child or cat tested yet. Training: unknown at this time Estimated date of birth: August 2024 Weight: 40.2 pounds Medical: vetted, up to date on vaccinations, spayed/neutered, microchipped Location: Currently located with a foster in Texas, but if adopted, will come to the NJ area (once her treatments are complete - which is estimated to be March). If you have any questions please email: info@ friendsforlifeanimalrescue.org To apply to adopt: https://form.jotform.com/210286667669167 We always need fosters, please join us!  https://form.jotform.com/210257395409155 Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet. Many other dogs need our help, please consider donating or sponsoring a dog, if possible. 100% of all money received from adoption fees and donations goes directly back to support saving other dogs and cats in need.  FFLAR is a 501c(3) non-profit.   We appreciate your support!

Meet Pepper & Princess – A Beautiful Boxer Duo 💕 Pepper and her daughter Princess are a bonded pair of Boxers with hearts as big as their smiles. They came into our rescue several months ago after their owner experienced life changes and could no longer care for them. When they arrived, both girls were underweight and had never received proper veterinary care. They were heartworm positive and neither had been spayed.

Story
Meet Pepper & Princess – A Beautiful Boxer Duo 💕 Pepper and her daughter Princess are a bonded pair of Boxers with hearts as big as their smiles. They came into our rescue several months ago after their owner experienced life changes and could no longer care for them. When they arrived, both girls were underweight and had never received proper veterinary care. They were heartworm positive and neither had been spayed. Thanks to the love and dedication of our rescue, Pepper and Princess are now fully up to date on vaccines and have successfully completed heartworm treatment. They’ve come such a long way and are healthier, happier, and ready for their next chapter. Personality-wise, these two are absolute gems. They are incredibly sweet, gentle, and polite — no jumping here! They do wonderfully with other dogs, puppies, and even cats. Their calm, loving nature makes them a joy to be around. Pepper and Princess are crate trained and stay in their crates when left home alone. Their crates are their cozy, safe spaces, and they settle in without any issues. These girls would thrive in a home where they can truly be part of the family — lounging nearby, soaking up love, and enjoying life together. Because of their close bond, it would be a dream come true for them to be adopted together, though the most important thing is finding them a loving, stable home. If you’re looking for loyal companions with gentle hearts and a touching story of resilience, Pepper and Princess may be the perfect match for you. If you are interested in these two girls, please message us and we will send you an application. They are being fostered in MS but included in your adoption fee is transport to a location near you by Rescue Riders Pet Transport, the most animal friendly transport on the road!

Story
Buster was found running down the road. We found out that he was adopted from a shelter, but the lady couldn't keep him, so she gave him away and apparently, they didn't want him either. He's a good boy just looking for his forever family. He is 5 months old and gets along with everyone. If you would like to add Buster to your home, please respond by using the big black button marked " Ask About Me" and we will send you an application. These dogs are being fostered in TN but included in your adoption fee is transport to a location near you by Rescue Riders Pet Transport, the most animal-friendly transport on the road.
