Story
My name is Red. Fitting right? I am 8ish months and 42 lbs. I am a mix of who knows what but that may include Ridgeback, Carolina dog, Cur and Terrier. I won't be very big and seem to have just about reached my size potential. I am housebroken and crate trained. I love people and I am great with young kids. I live with two young humans under 6 in my foster home. I love sitting next to them on the couch and these days, blankets are welcome. I play nicely with my brother and the other dog in the home. I also walk well on leash for not having a lot of practice. I am a relatively active boy with a mild temperament. I am young and ready to try out some adventures. Most importantly, I am a master cuddler. I am a loyal companion and proven to be a great family dog.

Story
My name is Conrad! I'm 6 to 7 months old and 60 lbs. I am a big boy! I am a Pyr/Shepherd mix and will be large with maybe another 20 to 30 to go. I am a joyful and well behaved pup. My glass is always half full. I am housebroken and even trustworthy for a short period of time alone. I can stay in a safe spot when alone; I don't like the crate too much (not surprising for a Pyr mix). I am great with the resident cat. I enjoy hanging out with him and pushing the occasional cat button. I have not met young children but we think I would like all humans; I am friendly and I seem up for the social life. I am working on my leash manners but I am sure I would love a walk or two with my people during the day. A fenced in yard is required for me; I am a Pyr and would love that boundary to patrol!

Story
🐾 Meet Nyla: A Shy Sweetheart Looking for Her Pack! 🐾 Look at those soulful eyes! This is Nyla, a beautiful 6-month-old Plott Hound mix who is ready to find her forever family. Nyla is a "gentle soul" in a stunning brindle package. While she might act a little bashful when she first meets you, don't let that fool you—once she feels safe, her loyal and loving personality shines through. 🌟 The "Social Butterfly" in Training: Nyla is a total dog's dog! She finds her courage through her furry friends. Having another confident dog in the home is the ultimate "confidence booster" for her; she watches what they do and realizes, "Hey, this human is actually pretty great!" 🏠 Nyla’s Wishlist: • A Patient Family: She needs a home that understands she’s a bit shy at first and is willing to let her settle in at her own pace. • A Furry Sibling: Since other dogs boost her confidence, she’d love a home with a canine brother or sister to show her the ropes. • Adventure & Naptime: She’s a Plott Hound mix, so she’s got a great nose for adventure, but she’s just as happy curling up on a soft blanket once she's tuckered out. ✨ Quick Facts: • Age: 4.5 Months • Breed: Plott Hound Mix • Personality: Sweet, observant, and gentle. • Compatibility: Great with other dogs! Is Nyla the missing piece to your pack? Give this shy girl the chance to show you her heart! Nyla is crate trained, working hard on her house-training skills, and is very treat-motivated (snacks = love language). She also has a special talent for snow romping and takes her winter play very seriously. ❄️🐾

Story
My name is Sky! I am a lovely 1 year old lady. I am full grown at 35 lbs. I am petite and pretty leggy! We think I look a bit like a little greyhound but my black mouth may point to Cur! I am sweet and even tempered. I am great with other dogs - all of them. I have been exposed to little, big, young and old. I am good with cats and kids. I have lived with young kids extensively without an issue. I love to cuddle on the couch with anyone that will sit next to me! I spend my day playing with my toys and running around with my friends. I can also walk on leash and would love someone to take me on some outings. I am crate-trained! I am almost all the way housebroken... I need to get on a good routine and I will be totally set in my new place. I would love a dog friend in my new home but it's not a requirement!

Story
My name is Carter. I am about 5 years old and 60 lbs. I am a stunning mix of Malinois and Husky. I am smart, sharp, dignified, well-behaved and utterly loyal. I am very human focused and oriented towards making my humans happy. I love to stay close to my pack (humans and dogs alike). I would love to have company most of the time but can be left alone without an issue. I am housebroken; I do not have much crating experience and would prefer to be loose. I most likely didn't have the most encouraging past. I can get a little timid around raised voices or really loud noises so a home with kids 12+ would probably make me the most comfortable. I am a people pleaser - I want to do the right thing, but I might need a little direction in the process. I do take a moment to warm up to dogs in the home but I certainly do and once we are buddies, I enjoy their company. I would also be perfectly fine as an only dog and actually, my transition might be a tad easier if I was your one and only. I need my daily walks and exercise and would like to be someone's active partner in crime. I am a master at 2 mile runs so if you are a mild runner or jogger, I could be your dog.

Story
My name is Belle! I am one of 7 in my adorable teeny tiny puppy litter. We are chiweenies which is a mix between Dachshund and Chihuahua. I am just a baby at 14 weeks old. I am just about 7 lbs. I will be very small full grown; around 12 lbs we predict. I am an absolute love. I like to be held and pet but I am also wiggly and playful. I really love people and attention. I live with young kiddos too and tolerate anything they throw my way - even a little lipstick! I sleep through the night in my crate and I am learning to use the pads to go potty. I am doing really well with sticking to the pads! It's WAY too cold for me to be outside in this weather all the time but when it warms up I will start to master going outside! I love to play with toys and I like to play with my sister. I am a pretty chill girl for such a young pup - yes I like to romp and wrestle but my foster mom says I am pretty go with the flow! I am located in NJ! Please fill out an application if you are interested in me! https://www.zivadogrescue.org/adoptable-dogs
