Story
This 9-year-old tiny bundle of personality is looking for a special home where he can thrive. While Avalanche may have had a reputation for being “tiny and angry” at the shelter, he’s proven that underneath it all, he’s a snuggly, sweet boy who loves nuzzling close to his human. He doesn’t mind being held and has a soft spot for making friends—his best buddy is a giant German Shepherd! Avalanche is crate-trained, travels well in the car, and enjoys the quiet comforts of home life. While he’s not a fan of sweaters (no need for a wardrobe), he loves curling up with his favorite person. He’d do best in an all-adult home with someone who works from home or is retired, where he can soak up all the love and attention he deserves. Avalanche is not neutered yet but will be soon, and all his other vet care is up to date. Rescued from the Newark shelter after his previous owner passed away, he’s left his angry days behind (mostly) and is ready to start a new chapter with his forever family. ADOPTION PROCESS: 1.

Story

Duke is still learning the ropes of being a dog, including leash walking and social skills, but he’s incredibly smart and eager to please. He can coexist with other dogs but may prefer to be the king of his castle as an only pup.

She does not have any health issue. But, sadly.. She lost her right hind leg because of her abusive previous owner...

Story
Meet Toto! He is a little shy and a sweet boy who wants to be loved :) Behaviours from the foster mom : Toto loves doggie friends, but he is a bit shy. He wags his tail cheerfully and waits for other dogs to come to him first. Toto hasn't met any cat friends yet, so we don't know how he would react to them. Toto loves kids and is very comfortable around them. He seems to be more comfortable with female adults than with males. He gets scared by sudden, big movements or loud noises, so please give him some time to adjust to a new environment, especially at the beginning. :) He is good at bathing and brushing, but he is afraid of the dryer, so his foster mom is trying to help him feel more comfortable with it. He has great manners on his walks, though he sometimes gets scared by loud noises or shadows, so please make sure he is on a leash and be cautious during walks. He only does his business outside. He is not a big barker, but he sometimes barks when he hears noises from outside. He hasn't shown any signs of separation anxiety, and he doesn’t feel carsick during drives. He wasn't specifically kennel trained, but he goes into his kennel when he is told to. He is a smart boy. ;) He hasn't shown any aggressive behavior, but he sometimes nibbles when he gets scared or startled, so please don’t scare him suddenly. Toto is a sweet boy who will shine with some time in a new family. Would you be this sweet boy's loving family? :D Allergy/health issues: Toto's foster mom said that he might have an allergy to salmon. Toto had a heartworm issue when he was rescued, but he is all cured now, and he's been given heartworm and flea/tick prevention medication every month since then. He does not have any health issues at present. *Please send all inquiries to @everlove8282. *Please submit your applications through the application form on our Instagram profile! Our team will carefully consider each of your applications to find the perfect forever homes for our dogs. *As all of our dogs are currently in South Korea, there will be an adoption fee of 700USD + customs fee (if applicable) for each dog.

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!
