Story
Meet Kade – Your New Best Friend! Kade is a stunning pup with the best ears and an even bigger heart! This lovable boy adores people and wants nothing more than to be by your side. He’s also great with other dogs. Kade loves running in the yard and playing with squeaky toys—especially ones with ropes for a fun game of tug-of-war! Kade enjoys going for walks and walks nicely on the leash. He’s a champion cuddler, always ready to snuggle up, give sweet puppy kisses, and soak up all the love he can get. He is so funny when he lays down….he gets in the craziest positions! He’s already learned "sit," doing great with house training, and is a good in the car rider. Plus, he’s the perfect lap dog, following you everywhere with his happy, tail-wagging spirit. Kade is so easy to love—ready to bring joy, snuggles, and fun into your life. Are you ready to meet your new best friend? ❤️🐶 Adopt Kada today! Kade is about 12-13 weeks old and he was dropped off at an overpopulated shelter in NC along with his mom and siblings. He is now living in a foster home in NJ. 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.

Story
Kendra is a gorgeous puppy with a soft white and beige coat. She’s playful, smart, and curious—always eager to be by your side and soak up affection. Her foster mom says: "Kendra loves to be close to you! She greets everyone with puppy kisses and is a great cuddle buddy. She’s not a barker, but she will 'talk' to you! She has plenty of energy and loves to run around, but she’s also content playing on her own. She’s very curious and adores toys, especially balls and playing fetch (she’s still learning to bring them back). And this adorable puppy enjoys going for walks. Kendra is highly trainable and obedient for a puppy—she already knows sit, come, no, drop it, down, stay, paw, and leave it. She sleeps through the night without accidents and is house trained. She absolutely craves human companionship and is great with other dogs. Kendra loves belly rubs, and one of her cutest quirks is how she lays on her back, paws up, wiggling from side to side. She’s also very food-motivated, which makes training a breeze!"* Could Kendra be your perfect match? Kendra is about 12-13 weeks old and was she dropped off at an overpopulated shelter in NC along with her mom and siblings. She is now living in a foster home in NJ.

Daryl Personality Plus! Daryl is the ultimate bundle of joy—an outgoing, social puppy who’s always up for playtime. He delights in crunch toys, squeakers, and anything rubber, and never says no to a spirited game of fetch. Smart as a whip, he already knows “sit” and “no,” sleeps through the night accident‑free, and is excelling at house training. Affectionate to a fault, Daryl absolutely adores people and fellow dogs alike—spending his days racing around the yard with his foster sibling and soaking up every belly rub and cuddle he can get.

Furever Home Dog Rescue, located in NJ & FL saves adoptable dogs from overpopulated animal shelters. We are always looking for new families to join our wonderful group of foster families who open their homes to foster a dog until they are adopted.

Please consider helping these homeless, wonderful dogs get a second chance in life. With your help, we can save these innocent dogs from being euthanized simply because there is no room at the shelter.

Blaze

Story
Meet Blaze! Age: 3–4 years old Breed: Basset Hound/Labrador Retriever mix Weight: ~38 lbs Blaze is sweet as pie and guaranteed to melt your heart. This low-riding lovebug is the total package—affectionate, loyal, smart, and always ready for cuddles and kisses! He walks beautifully on leash, responds well to treats, and is already showing great progress with training. What makes Blaze amazing? • Exceptionally loving and gentle • Super affectionate—lives for pets and attention • Very well-behaved on leash • Highly responsive to training (especially with treats!) • Great with people and other dogs • Perfect size for travel and adventure—Blaze loves to be by your side! What we’re working on: • Barking – He tends to bark at night when left alone, likely due to some separation anxiety from being raised with his brother. He’s already improving with consistency and care. • Jumping – He’s just so excited to shower you with love! With continued training, he’s already showing wonderful progress in just a week. Blaze would thrive in almost any home—whether you’re single, a couple, or a family. He wants nothing more than to be part of your daily life, and he’ll reward you with endless devotion and tail wags. Bonus: Blaze is around 38 lbs, making him the perfect compact companion for road trips, hikes, or cozy nights on the couch. He truly shines when he’s with his person and is continuing to build confidence when left alone. Note on cats: He’s currently unsure around them—our cats didn’t appreciate his curious bark—but he may settle with proper introductions. If you’re looking for a dog who radiates love, has a heart of gold, and is eager to be your best friend, Blaze is your guy. He is pure sunshine in a dog! Ready to bring home a bundle of love? Blaze is waiting to meet you! http://www.coldnosewarmheart.org/dog-application.html @cnwhnj @coldnosewarmheartnj
