Story

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. But don’t mistake her timidity for lack of energy. She gets excited when she’s with her favorite person and becomes a total goofball, complete with zoomies and tail-chasing. 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 a canine companion who can match her energy. 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.

Colt is doing well with training, is good with cats, loves being in his crate, and has no accidents in his foster family's home. He's always up for an adventure or good cuddle on the couch.

Pepper

Chihuahua

Female, 9 yrs

Galloway, NJ

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,

Story

Pepper, is a 9-year-old who has known only one home her entire life. Through no fault of her own, Pepper was recently surrendered—her owners loved her dearly but are now facing serious health issues that prevent them from taking her outside and giving her the care she needs. Pepper’s world has been turned upside down. She was undersocialized in her previous home and is very leery of new people and places. She does ’t like to be picked up and is easily startled by unfamiliar situations. Despite this, she truly deserves a second chance at love. We are desperately searching for a patient, understanding adopter who can look beyond Pepper’s skittish behavior. She pays no mind to the other dogs in her foster home but will need time and space to feel safe with new humans. With patience, she does begin to warm up, but it is a slow process—she still has a long way to go. Pepper needs an adult-only home with experienced owners who can respect her boundaries and work with her on her terms. Her foster family is working hard on building her confidence every day. She is up-to-date on all vaccines, spayed, and current on heartworm prevention as well as flea/tick medication. Please note: WE DO NOT HAVE A FACILITY—we are all volunteers doing our best for these animals in need. We are currently reviewing all applications carefully to find the right fit for Pepper. If you think you could be the special person or family that Pepper so desperately needs, please reach out. Her future depends on finding someone willing to give her the time and understanding she deserves.

Story

Hi… um… hi. I’m Charlie, a tiny, 20-lb, 1-year-old Chihuahua mix, and I’ve been practicing my “please notice me” look every single day. I’m gentle, a little goofy, and very, very hopeful that my person is out there somewhere. I came here with my brother, Max. We were surrendered together and stayed side by side… until one day he got adopted. I watched him walk out the door, happy and loved, and I wagged my tail for him, even though I stayed behind. I’m still waiting at the kennel for my own foster or forever home, believing my turn is coming soon. I’m a lap dog in every sense of the word. If you sit down, I will carefully curl up and melt right into you. Belly scratches are one of my favorite things, and I’ll gladly trade kisses for them. I can get the zoomies when I’m feeling extra happy, but I’m also perfectly content being carried around in your arms like I belong there, because honestly, I do. I get along well with people, other dogs, and I have even lived with cats before! I’m affectionate, silly, and love being close to my humans. My only downfall is that I can be loud when I see other dogs out and about, so I need to be taught how to work on this! I’m neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. My adoption fee is $415. If you’ve been waiting for a quiet, loving presence to share your days with, I’m right here — ready to finally go home. So apply to adopt me, CHARLIE NJ, at ehrdogs.org.
