Story
Josie - 1-2yr female terrier mix, 30 lbs Personal style: Emo eyes & chin whiskers Occupation: lap warmer, squeak toy tester, neighborhood watch Looking for: available lap, fenced in yard, to fill that void in your life, someone who doesn’t mind a gal with a little facial hair Likes: squeaky toys, playing ball, tug of war, long walks in the fenced in yard, hide & seek with chipmunks, french fries, cheerios & ice cubes (you must pay the ice tax!), naps on the couch, sleeping with mom & dad, car rides Dislikes: dogs who bark at me (they’re scary! would need a meet & greet with other dogs in the home. What are cats?) cheese, some treats, long times without my humans Family: I prefer my siblings a little older, recommended approximately age 9-10 & older, but I have plenty of snuggles to share Bad Habit: what’s yours is mine (aka your lap, bed, personal space and heart), zoomies before bed Goals for Personal Growth: working on crate training as I’m a free spirit, but is ok for short periods. crates are a little scary, but I’m getting used to it! I’m working on leash walking and impulse control, as long as I’m rewarded with cheerios & love! Best Quality: playful and loving Please go to www.coldnosewarmheart.org/apply-now.html

Story
Tea’ and Sophie Littermates from down South Sweet, 3-4 month old mixed breed puppies available now for adoption! Tea’ (as in Tea’ Leoni), is a darling little girl who loves belly rubs, giving love and playing with her toys. She really loves her sister, Sophie, and plays until tuckered out. Tea’ is using her wee wee pads and is getting used to going for short walks on the leash. She is working hard on potty training! Tea’ has the softest tan coat with striking white markings. She loves other dogs and doesn’t mind cats! Tea’ would make a great addition to a home with or without other dogs. Sophie is Tea’s littermate and looks like she just might have some husky in her. Her markings are just beautiful! Sophie loves to give kisses and get lots of love and attention. She loves to play with her tennis ball, especially with Tea’! Like her sister, Sophie is potty training really well, using her wee wee pads and getting accustomed to being leash walked. She loves other dogs and is not reactionary to cats. Sophie would love to be an additional or only pup in a loving home. Apply http://www.coldnosewarmheart.org/dog-application.html @cnwhnj @coldnosewarmheartnj

Story
Meet Draco!! He is a 3 month old, 35 pound golden / dane mix with the biggest heart. He is super cuddly and sweet with an energetic spirit! He’s mastered sit and is working on more. He loves his treats and is very food motivated. He sleeps well in his crate at night but still learning to love it during the day. He hasn’t been around kids but loves playing with his foster brother. After a play session with him he does well with a cool down in his crate. Draco is still working on his puppy nibbles but is great on a redirect with a toy - chew toys are his favorite! He’s super smart and catches on quick! http://www.coldnosewarmheart.org/dog-application.html @cnwhnj @coldnosewarmheartnj

Story
Meet Xavier (m) and Helena (f) They are 3 month old Chihuahua/Jack Russell Mixes. They are expected to be 10-15 lbs when full grown. Mom is an 8 lb Chihuahua Mix and Dad is unknown but we do know that these pups were surrendered from a home in VA that only had small dogs. They are typical puppies that love to eat, play and sleep. They have been in their Foster Home with their Mama since they were 1 week old. They are sweet, playful, happy puppies that love to play with each other and their Mama. They are typical Chihuahua’s that will shake when cold and/or nervous. Because of their small size and nervous tendencies we do not recommend homes with children younger than 8 years old. They are paper trained but have not been outside due to their tiny size. They have their own puppy room in their Foster Home so there has not been a need to Crate them. They are quiet puppies that sleep all night. They also love to be held and cuddled. They are Microchipped, UTD on their age appropriate vaccinations. If you are interested in adopting one of these sweet, tiny pups please go to our website and submit an application. www.coldnosewarmheart.org
