Story
Meet Duke, a 3-month-old Chihuahua mix weighing just 8 lbs, who is already proving to be an absolute dream of a puppy. Sweet, affectionate, and full of puppy charm, Duke loves being close to his people and taking in the world around him. He has that irresistible mix of playful energy and cozy cuddles, and he’s the kind of pup who makes you smile without even trying. Duke is ready to trade his foster home for a forever one where he can grow up feeling safe, loved, and cherished. Duke is eager, curious, and so willing to learn, the perfect blank slate for someone excited to guide a puppy through all of life’s firsts. With patience, consistency, and love, he’s going to blossom into an incredible companion. He is currently up to date on all age-appropriate vaccines, and his future adopter will be responsible for continuing his vaccine schedule and having him neutered when the time is right.  If you’re looking for a puppy who’s ready to bond deeply and become your best little sidekick, Duke is waiting to meet you.

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. To apply to adopt, please complete an application at www.peace4paws.org/adoption-application using a laptop or desktop computer.  If you have specific adoption or foster questions, please email: judy.atchison@yahoo.com THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN RESCUING A DOG!

Story
Meet Zuke! Zuke is a 3-month-old male Chihuahua mix weighing just 7.1 lbs, and he’s as cute as they come. This little guy is arriving in New Jersey on 2/21 from Kentucky and is ready to find a loving home of his own. At his age, Zuke is all about puppy energy, curiosity, and charm. He’s small but mighty in personality—sweet, playful, and eager to soak up all the love (and training!) his future family has to offer. He’ll thrive in a home ready to guide him through puppyhood with patience, structure, and lots of cuddles. Zuke is expected to stay on the smaller side and would make a great companion for someone looking for a fun, affectionate pup to grow up with.

Story
✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to JFK/EWR💟 The prices listed are based on USD, and the adoption fee will be calculated in CAD according to the exchange rate. Meet Bappul 💛 💙 Bappul’s News Account: @4_ever_home__ 1.) Health Condition * Not spayed yet. 2.) Rescue Story * Bappul was rescued from the Gimje City Shelter when an Adogs volunteer was there to help prepare the facilities for the harsh winter. She was urgently rescued from the shelter, where cold winter winds were blowing and contagious diseases were spreading. 3.) Basic Information ❗ As she is still a young puppy, she may exhibit separation anxiety, mouthing/nipping, whining, disorderly behaviors, howling, or barking. Will require consistent patience and training. ❗ Since her parents are unknown, it is difficult to predict her adult size or shedding level. * With People: Is a little shy but likes people in general and approaches with her tail wagging. Isn’t yet used to human touch and avoids hands, but you can pet her if you approach carefully and slowly. * With Dogs: Approaches other dogs carefully to say hi. Mixes well and has fun playing the big dog she stays with. * With Cats: Hasn’t met them yet. * Separation Anxiety: Whines a bit when left alone, but it isn’t severe and she is fine alone. Also does well when left with another dog. Expresses curiosity when left with a stranger, staying relaxed. * Potty Training: Goes potty indoors and has a 100% success rate aside from an upset stomach or unusual situations. * Hygiene: Is good with baths and brushing. Is a little scared of the sound of the blow dryer. Isn’t familiar with tooth brushing yet. * Walks: Has no experience yet since she hasn’t had all her vaccines. * Car Sickness: Vomitted a little bit during her first car ride since she was very nervous. After that experience, she didn’t show signs of car sickness and was fine during a long-distance train ride. * Doesn’t bite people but she’s a teething puppy so she nibbles on objects. * Doesn’t whine but gives a natural alert bark a bit when hearing unfamiliar outside noises. * Has a great appetite and loves food. * Is still unfamiliar with human touch and avoids it. * Can ‘sit.’
