Story
Poor little Bambi was a stray puppy who was begging to get inside a house.  The homeowner brought her inside and called one of our Texas rescue partners for help.  She is a sweet little girl who needs to put on some weight.  Hopefully that won't take long now that she is with a foster.  She'd love to find her forever home and never have to worry about being left outside, and on her own again. We believe she is about 4 months old (as of early July), and the vet thinks she might be a chi mix.  When she was found she just weighed 5 pounds and was skin and bones.  Now that she is with a foster she is starting to gain back some weight.  As you can tell from the pictures, she gets along well with other dogs. Personality: friendly, playful Good with: people of all ages (including kids), and dogs.  Has not been cat tested yet. Estimated date of birth: 3/4/25 Weight: 9 pounds Medical: vetted, vaccinated, microchipped Location: Currently located with a foster in Texas, but if adopted, will come to the NJ area on our next transport.  To apply to adopt: https://form.jotform.com/210286667669167 We always need fosters, please join us!  https://form.jotform.com/210257395409155 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.   Please consider donating.  We appreciate your support!

Story
Bella is a sweet, playful, affectionate, healthy little dog. She is a lowrider like a Beagle. She would be great in a family with or without children. She gets along with everyone. Her daughter is Cookie, and she can be adopted with or without her. Unfortunately her previous family had to give them up because where they moved they were not allowed dogs. The family parted in tears. Bella is now deserving of a great forever home! She has been groomed and shaved down for the Summer. But you can see her hair is longer by the hair on her head.

I’m Marty is the cutest and sweetest funniest little Chihuahua. He gets along with other dogs that aren’t aggressive. He sleeps, cuddled up with other dogs. He gets along great with cats. But would be a perfect in an only dog household. He loves his people and he hardly ever barks unless someone comes to the door. He loves to sleep with you, a little Velcro guy. He is fully vetted and has been tested for heartworm so he is ready for his new forever family. Please complete our application and we will call you with more information on him. strayheart7@outlook.com https://forms.gle/suhbpui9RXiVmvoJ9

Meet Coco. She's a tiny girl weighing about 4 lbs. Give her a few minutes and she will be your best friend once she warms up to you. Then all she wants is for you to hold and live her! She is 4 years old. She is very bonded to her sister Sassy who is 6. They already lost their human mama who passed away and now they lost their daddy due to cancer. Please consider giving me and my sister Sassy a home where we can stay together and be loved! These girls are currently living in KY but we will bring them to NJ for a loving family. This is a courtesy post to help these sweet babies. Want more info?

Story
This sweetie is being fostered in East TN Athebs area. Out of state welcome. The adoption fee listed here on Adopt a pet includes the cost of transport. We use Rescue Riders for our pet transport needs because they are the best. Meet Pete! This little guy is super sweet once he gets to know you. He takes a little bit to warm up to new people. He eight years young. He’s active and spunky and also loving and sweet. He is good with most other dogs. No small children for this guy. He needs his space to be respected and most young children don’t understand this. Unsure about cats. His vet records show him as a French bulldog mix. He could be a chihuahua and frenchie mix. He is 16 lbs. he will need a family that understands the breed mix and how to show rules and boundaries without rules and boundaries he will take charge and be your leader and that is not what you want he needs to know you are his leader and you will take care of him. He is house trained and crate trained. Apply at petpath.org

This poor baby was found under a boat in Puerto Rico and the two that found her did everything they could to bring her back her back to Tennessee with them. They have had her to the vet and she has gotten her shots and will be spayed before she is transported to an adopter. Good with older children. Loves attention. Is a snuggle baby and just loves to cuddle up with you. She needs a good loving family to take her in as their new family member. Could you be that family?

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.
