Story
❤️ Meet Sampson — A Little Guy with a BIG Personality! ❤️ Looking for a fun, affectionate little companion to fill your life with love and laughter? Meet Sampson! This adorable 11–12-month-old Yorkie/Dachshund mix is full of energy, sweetness, and that irresistible Yorkie personality! Sampson had a rough start in life, arriving at the shelter as a puppy with a severe case of demodex. Thankfully, he received treatment and found a home. Sadly, things didn’t work out as hoped. His adopter planned to take him along as a companion in her semi-truck, but he was instead left home alone for 12+ hours a day. Through no fault of his own, Sampson found himself back at the shelter, waiting for someone to give him the forever home he deserves. FHDR brought him to NJ to live in a foster home! ❤️ Sampson is friendly, outgoing, and full of life. He gets along well with other dogs, cats, and people, and he absolutely loves children! He’s also crate-trained and has good potty habits. He keeps his kennel clean, follows a regular potty schedule, and knows how to let you know when he needs to go outside. Sampson is still just a pup, with so much love to give and so many happy memories waiting to be made. He deserves a family who will include him in their daily lives, give him plenty of attention, and make him a cherished member of the family. Could you be the one to give Sampson his happily-ever-after? He’s ready to leave his shelter days behind and start his next chapter with a family who will love him forever. Please consider opening your heart and home to this adorable little guy! 🐾❤️ If you have a furever home for this pet, please e-mail Furever Home Dog Rescue at FureverHomeDogRescue@gmail.com and request an adoption application. The breed and age of this pet is listed as is our best guess. We have no background info on who the mom and dad are.

Story
Meet Hans, your little adventure buddy! Hans is a 12–15-week-old puppy with a BIG personality and a heart full of love. He LOVES, LOVES, LOVES everyone, people and dogs alike, and he’s always ready to make a new friend. He loves romping in the yard, chasing squirrels, playing tug-of-war and racing after a ball or frisbee. When playtime’s over, he’s a total snuggle bug who lives for belly rubs. Get ready for serious cuteness: Hans has the funniest little prance, and sometimes he gets so excited greeting you that he tumbles right into a somersault! At mealtime, he sits patiently like a little gentleman, waiting for his food. He’s smart, too! Hans already knows “sit” and “go potty,” sleeps through the night, is house-trained, and paws at the door when he needs to go out. What a good boy! Hans would thrive with an active family who’ll include him in their adventures, keep up his training and give him lots of love. Ready to welcome Hans home? Apply to adopt today!

CALLING ALL DOG LOVERS, OPEN YOUR HEART AND HOME! You can help us save lives by becoming a doggie foster family! Every puppy that can be placed in a temporary foster home SAVES 2 LIVES! Their life is saved from overpopulated shelter, and makes room for one more in the shelter! Furever Home Dog Rescue is dedicated to saving adoptable dogs from overcrowded shelters. We’re always looking for compassionate families across New Jersey and Florida to join our incredible team of foster homes.

Story
Hello world, my name is Beanie. I’m a very happy beagle mix about 10yrs old. I am a neutered male whose favorite pastime is wagging my tail. I’m happy all the time except if there is a really bad storm with a lot of thunder. I then find a dark corner to sit in until the coast is clear. I currently live in a house with three other dogs and two human babies that don’t live here but it sure seems like they do. I like the walking one better because he is always giving me food. My foster mom’s thinks I’m the best but I am having some accidents inside, both my foster family and I are trying real hard to make sure I remember to do my business outside before I go in. Sometimes I go outside and get so busy playing or bird watching that I forget. I have to be reminded to finished up before I come in. If you are looking for an older boy to follow you around like your shadow just looking for a pat on the head, then I’m your man. I don’t howl or bark. I’m just looking for a place to call my own. https://www.coldnosewarmheart.org/apply-now.html @cnwhnj @coldnosewarmheartnj
