Story
My name is Caramel. Do you pronounce it "Carmel" or "Care-A-mel?" Whatever you like, I am good with. That's the type of pup I am! I am about 6 months old and 33 lbs. We expect my size to be medium, 50 to 55. I am a beautiful mix of Pitbull and Catahoula. My eyes and my brindle coloring harken to the latter breed. My affectionate and in tune nature to other humans and dogs harken to the first. We know I may not get as many looks as some other dogs, which is a shame, but I can tell you, I am gentle, kind, adaptable and smart. I live with other dogs and I absolutely adore them. I love to romp and play and I try to keep up with the bigger guys. I am submissive and aim to please those around me. I also live with cats and some foster kittens when they are around. I am good with both. I have spent time with younger children and get along with them too. I am crate trained. I love to play with toys, lounge, run around outside and just take in the world around me. My future home, ideally, would have a fenced in yard. I would love another canine in my home but the right humans are the key to success! Here is a link to the application if you would like to ask about me! https://www.zivadogrescue.org/adoptable-dogs

Story
My name is Speckles. I am 4 months and about 19 lb and an absolute doll. I am an Aussie/Terrier mix and should be about 35 to 40 lbs full grown. I am a lover of all people and kids and dogs! I absolutely adore all humans and I love playing with my dog friends big or small. I would be okay as an only as long as my human is attentive, fun and can play with me! Believe me, I am too cute to ignore. Another dog or two would be amazing though! I love to play with toys and can independently chew and de-fluff! I absolutely love squeaky toys. They are my fav! I am spunky but know when it's time to rest and time to play and can be a master snoozer and cuddler. My NJ time has been super busy - I have gone to 3 events in a week! I was a STAR at all of them. I am really smart and understand that I should go potty outside. I am almost fully housebroken. My foster mom says it's her fault that I have had a few accidents. It's okay - no one is perfect. I am crate trained and sleep overnight peacefully. Puppies always need practice on that leash thing but can I bop around just fine and will be happy to explore. I would make a great dog for so many people and families! I am located in NJ! If you are interested in me, here is a link to the application: https://www.zivadogrescue.org/adoptable-dogs

Chatham, NJ
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Story
My name is Maisy. I am a tiny girl at 13 lbs and about 14 weeks. We believe I am a Jack Russell Terrier mix with a few other things to note. I was so lucky. A really nice man found me wandering all alone and took me in. He got in touch with the right people and now I am in a very loving foster home. I am a sweet little lady. I am spunky and fun and can be just a little shy with new noises. I may have never been in a real home because the vacuum is a mystery to me. I also don't understand the dishwasher, washer or dryer! I just adore the three other big dogs in my home. I cuddle with them all the time, play and follow them and really like their company. They might not always love me pestering them but they are very tolerant. I am just too cute to be mad at! I am doing really well with my housebreaking. The big dogs help me learn. I sleep soundly and comfortably in my crate at night. I am fun loving puppy that will be smaller in size, 30 max. I would love to live with another dog friend and have people to cuddle with. Respectful kids would be just fine for me, I just haven't been around any of those tiny humans.

Australian Cattle Dog Blue Heeler

Story
My name is Bingo. I am what you think I am - a Cattle Dog or other people may call me a Heeler. Same thing! I am pretty classic aren't I? I am 1 year old and about 40 lbs. I am totally filled out and full grown. I am a loyal and loving companion and a pleaser. I am great with dogs. I live with two female heelers and I took to them right away. My herding behavior comes out a bit when I am excited and playful. So it's probably best if the other dog is tolerant and has an easy going nature to deal with my goofiness. I am good on leash. I could 100% be your one an only dog. I am loyal and focused. I love to go for hikes and have been on a few jogs with my foster mom. I really enjoy it but no, I don't need a marathon runner. I do need a human or family that will keep me exercised and stimulated; not 24/7 but some nice brisk walks during the day and some time showing you my tricks will do. I will be your best buddy and happy to be your sidekick. I have spent time with older kids and absolutely loved it - they played fetch with me and it was perfect! I am crate trained and housebroken, obedient and can't wait to learn new things everyday. I am located in CT.

Story
My name is S'mores. I am about 1 year old and 50 lbs. My poundage doesn't translate to the way I look! You will be surprised, I am not that big! I am also all filled out and done growing. I am a gorgeous almost painted brindle. My breed mix probably includes a number of lineages - one probably is Black Mouth Cur, maybe some Ridgeback or Catahoula too. We aren't totally sure but I am a handsome man. I am a very sweet and gentle dog and yet a fun and playful goofball. I am such a lover of so many things. For one, kids - any age of kids and I have experience with young ones too! I am great with dogs. I actually would prefer that my next home have a dog buddy in it. It's not that I don't adore my humans but the other canine will give me a little confidence to continue to learn about how good life can be! If I see a trash truck on a walk, I might be a little concerned but we have found that my dog friends keep me moving! I am housebroken and crate-trained; although, I have basically aged out of the crate. I don't need it as I am well behaved in the house. I will need an understanding family that is willing to let me go at my own pace around new experiences. Positivity and love win me over all the time. I have a wonderful energy and want to please my humans and dog friends alike. A fenced in yard is required; I love to romp and run in my secured area and play fetch! My leash walking is good; when I see something that gives me pause - that's when my dog buddy jumps in to let me know the walk can proceed! I have been frequenting youth sports gatherings, riding in the car, going on hikes and I am really enjoying it all. I am located in NJ.
