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. 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 FHDR.

🐾 Meet Arlo! 🐾 This adorable little cutie pie is Arlo, and he has already stolen plenty of hearts since arriving in New Jersey! ❤️ Arlo is a sweet, friendly, playful puppy who is about 10–11 weeks old. His story started out sadly when he and his siblings were dumped in a Walmart parking lot. Thankfully, a kind Good Samaritan found the puppies and brought them to a local shelter, where they were safe but desperately needed someone to give them a second chance. That’s where Furever Home Dog Rescue came in! The shelter told us what special puppies they were, and we knew we couldn’t leave them behind. We arranged for Arlo and his siblings to travel to New Jersey, where they are now safe, loved, and enjoying life in their foster homes. 🐶❤️ And what a sweetheart Arlo is! He is super friendly, playful, affectionate, and absolutely adorable. He loves being around people and is the kind of puppy who can melt your heart with one little look. 🥰 He’s busy discovering all the fun things that come with being a puppy and is looking forward to finding a family of his very own. Arlo has had quite the journey for such a little guy, but his happily-ever-after is just beginning. Could you be the family he has been waiting for? 🏡❤️ Get your application in now!

🐾 Meet Ash! 🐾 Isn’t he handsome?! 😍 This adorable little guy is Ash, and he is just as sweet as he is cute! Ash has a beautiful brownish-black coat with adorable white markings, making him one very handsome puppy. ❤️ Ash is a 11 - 13 week-old puppy who is playful, friendly, affectionate, and absolutely adorable. Sadly, Ash and his siblings were dumped in a Walmart parking lot. Thankfully, a kind Good Samaritan found the puppies and brought them to a local shelter, where they were safe and waiting for someone to give them a second chance. That’s when Furever Home Dog Rescue stepped in! The shelter reached out to us and told us what special puppies they were. We couldn’t leave them behind, so we arranged for Ash and his siblings to travel to New Jersey, where they are now safe, loved, and enjoying life in their foster homes. 🐶❤️ Ash is the sweetest little lovebug! 🥰 He loves being around people and is happiest when he’s getting attention, cuddles, and affection. One of the cutest things about him is how adorable he is when he falls asleep right on top of you! ❤️ He loves to cuddle, be held, give puppy kisses, and get those wonderful belly rubs. Be prepared to fall in love when this little guy snuggles up to you! And wait until you hear about one of Ash’s funniest little quirks! 😂 He absolutely LOVES running around with his little stuffed bunny, flipping it up into the air like it’s the greatest game ever! Watching him toss his bunny around is guaranteed to make you laugh. 🐰💕 It’s just one more thing that makes this sweet boy so entertaining and lovable! Ash is also a curious and brave little boy who is ready to explore the world around him. He’s already learning some good puppy manners and knows how to sit and recognizes his name! He’s doing really well with his house training, too, and is already sleeping through the night without accidents—what a smart little guy! 🐾 He’s playful, clever, affectionate, and full of that irresistible puppy charm. With his adorable face, beautiful coloring, and loving personality, he’s pretty much impossible to resist! After such a difficult start, Ash is ready to leave his past behind and start the next chapter of his life with a family who will love him forever. He’ll need a family ready for all the fun, training, patience, and adventures that come with raising a puppy—but in return, you’ll get a lifetime of love, cuddles, laughter, and puppy kisses. 🏡❤️ Could Ash be the little guy who steals your heart? ❤️🐾 If you’re ready to welcome this adorable boy into your family, please apply to adopt Ash through Furever Home Dog Rescue.
