Story
This is a Courtesy Post-Please Conact Laurie frankg4@optonline.net if you have a furever home for Daisy. When Daisy looks at you with her big brown eyes, it is hard to say "no" to her! She is a happy dog with people but something of a bossypants with other dogs, so Daisy would do better as an only dog. She is about 10 years old and still spry and healthy; she loves to go outside and walks well on the leash. She is house-trained and knows "sit", "lie down", and "come" commands. Daisy is a city girl who came from Brooklyn, where her owner couldn't take care of her due to illness. She weighs 60 lbs. and is no longer interested in toys or chewing. Usually quiet at home, she will bark to alert her family to the presence of others, but enjoys meeting people. She loves our neighbor's kids and they love her. They are older elementary and middle school age….I haven't had a chance to see how she is with younger children. Daisy wants to be the only dog in her home, she likes seeing other dogs outdoors. At her foster home she has gotten used to living with a cat.She also just stares at us if she wants something. She has such cute eyes! If you want a dog to snuggle with on the couch, or to just hang out while she sleeps on her dog bed, Daisy is the dog for you. Daisy is up-to-date on all her shots, we believe she is spayed, and has just had her teeth cleaned. Please contact Laurie at frankg4@optonline.net for more information about Daisy.

Story
Bailey here!! I’m a cheerful, playful, and super friendly pup—around 10–11 weeks old—and I’m so excited to meet you! I recently made my way to New Jersey and am settling into a loving foster home where I’m being spoiled with yummy treats, nutritious meals, and lots of snuggles (my favorite!). As my foster family learns more about me, they’ll keep sharing updates—but here’s what they already know: One word to describe me? Sweet. I’m also very curious about the world around me! For such a young puppy, I’m actually pretty calm—I do get my bursts of puppy zoomies, but then I’m happy to settle down for a long nap. I’m great with people and other dogs, and I absolutely love climbing into your lap for cuddles. Belly rubs? Yes, please! I enjoy playing with balls, and I’m already learning how to walk on a leash, along with house training and basic commands like “sit” and “down.” I’m also a great little traveler and do well in the car. Some of my cutest quirks? I love falling asleep on cozy, unexpected الأشياء like kids’ backpacks and laundry baskets. I’m truly the sweetest puppy who’s happy to go along with whatever you’re doing. I’m not a big barker—I’d much rather be close to my people, cuddling and hanging out. I came from an overcrowded shelter in Mississippi with my siblings, and now I’m ready for a fresh start with a forever family who will love me as much as I’ll love them. If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate companion to share your days (and your couch!), I might just be your perfect match. I can’t wait to meet you! 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. Please note we do not adopt puppies/dogs to homes where they will be left alone all day. We do not have a shelter facility you can visit. Our volunteers foster the dogs and pups in their homes once they have been vetted and transported here to NJ. Please read our homepage www.fhdr.petfinder.com to read how the adoption process works.

Story
Hi there! I’m Whiskey, and I just wanted to say hello! 🐶 I’d love to be your new best friend. I’m a happy, curious, and super lovable pup, around 11 weeks old, and I’m ready to find my forever home! I recently arrived in New Jersey and am settling into my cozy foster home. My foster family is taking great care of me with yummy meals, fun playtime, and lots of cuddles (my favorite!). As they get to know me better, they’ll keep sharing all the little things that make me special. I made the journey from an overcrowded shelter in Mississippi with my siblings, and now I’m so excited to start this new chapter of my life. So far, I’ve been described as sweet, playful, and full of puppy charm. I’m a happy, easygoing guy with a calmer personality, but don’t worry—I still get those adorable puppy zoomies! I love running around the yard or indoors, especially when someone chases me. I tuck my little butt under and zoom in circles—it’s pretty entertaining if I do say so myself! I enjoy playing with toys, my sister (Brandy) and other dogs, and I’m great in the car too. I’m already sleeping through the night without accidents, I know the “go potty” command, and I’m learning house training like a pro. I’m also a big snuggle bug. When you pick me up or hold me, I make the sweetest little sound—it’s kind of my signature move. With my winning personality and my beautiful eyes, I’ve been told I’m pretty hard to resist. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion to grow up with, I might just be your perfect match.

Story
Meet Brandy! I’m a happy, playful, and friendly puppy, about 10-11 weeks old, searching for my forever home! I recently arrived in New Jersey and am settling into a wonderful foster home. My foster family is taking great care of me—giving me lots of tasty treats, healthy food, and plenty of cuddles that I’m enjoying so much. My name is Brandy, and I have a feisty, fearless personality paired with a sweet and loving nature. I enjoy affection when I’m being held, though I’m also independent and don’t always seek attention. I’m a curious little explorer who loves playing with toys, my brother (Whiskey) and other dogs. I’m learning all about being a well-behaved pup—working on potty training, walking on a leash, and house manners. I’m also doing well in the car! While I have a calm side, I definitely get those classic puppy zoomies too. With my soulful eyes and curious spirit, I’m incredibly endearing. One especially adorable trait? The way I run—it looks like I’m hopping like a little bunny! I’m a precious, sweet puppy ready to bring joy and love to my forever family. 💕 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.

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. By opening your heart and home to a foster dog, you’re giving them a safe place to stay until we find them a permanent, loving home—usually within month or two. We rescue puppies, adults, and senior dogs of all breeds and sizes. Please consider becoming a foster and giving these deserving dogs a second chance at life. With your help, we can save innocent lives that might otherwise be lost simply due to lack of space in shelters. Please go to FureverHomeDogRescue.com to complete a foster application. We will review your application and give you a call to answer all your questions. You can also email us at FureverHomeDogRescue@gmail.com if you have any questions.

Story
Meet Milo! 🐶 Milo is a 10-month-old, around 50-pound pup who’s ready to find his forever family. Milo loves running around the yard playing fetch or chasing any ball he can find! He enjoys walks, and being part of whatever his people are doing, especially curling up on the couch at the end of the day! He’ll happily nap or play with his toys while his foster mom works during the day. He’s fully house broken and will let you know when he needs to go out. He also sleeps through the night in his crate without a peep and isn’t the least bit destructive. We recommend that Milo go to a home with older kids or no kids, as he can get excited when playing and likes to greet people by jumping up at them - something we’ve been working on! Milo will also need to meet his future family, as he can be selective about some people and dogs he meets.
