Story
Cher | Lab-Terrier mix 7+ years | Spayed | 65 lbs Cher is a lovable, friendly gal. She is extremely smart but also gentle and kind. She would make a great addition to any family. She was surrendered by her family in 2024, she was an indoor dog - she has good manners and a calm demeanor. She is up to date with her vaccines, HW- and spayed. Her fur is thick and longer - more like a retriever but she doesn't shed a great deal. Cher's energy level is low-medium; she loves to go for walks in the woods and play ball in the yard. She has been in playgroups in the past and would be ok going to a dog park. She appears to have some leash training. Cher gets along with puppies; she would do well in a home with another female dog who is calm or would thrive as an only fur baby. If you would like to meet this deserving pup; and give her a true forever home where she can be pampered and loved, please fill out an application! She is also available for foster to adopt. Fostered in Central NJ. Adoption Fee includes all age-appropriate shots, deworming, spay/neuter certificate (if too young to be fixed) and microchip, dog food, leash and collar. PLEASE NOTE -- WE CAN ONLY RESPOND TO APPLICANTS WHO HAVE FILLED OUT AN APPLICATION AND ARE CONSIDERED A GOOD MATCH FOR THIS PET.

Story
This is one of the hardest messages I've ever had to write. After a lot of painful conversations, we have come to the decision that we need to rehome our beloved dog. She has been with us since she was a tiny pup, and we love her with our whole hearts. But due to ongoing physical health challenges, we’ve realized that she deserves a better environment than we can currently give her. She’s almost 3 years old, medium-sized, gentle, affectionate, playful, and wonderfully well-behaved. She adores people, loves cuddles, and follows you everywhere. She’s smart, loyal, and brings joy to everyone she meets. She’s a little picky on her foods. Very healthy, love play with people. We’re seeking a loving home that will treat her as family—one that can offer time, affection, and stability. This is not a giveaway; we’ll be very selective. Requirements: must have pet insurance, be home most of the time, walk her daily, have a yard, never abuse or abandon her, and ideally have prior dog experience

Story
Hello! Meet Yam Yam, a 3-year-old, 30 lb Corgi. He was returned to the animal store at 6 months old for unknown reasons before my fiance adopted him. We currently live in a small apartment, and herding breeds like Corgis do best with a yard and more space to burn energy. Yam Yam loves people and has been friendly with children in our experience. However, he is fearful around dogs and cats; he barks at them but has never attacked or bitten another animal. He struggles with behavioral issues, including separation anxiety and resource guarding, and he does have a bite history when stressed or overwhelmed. We have tried many options and are making this decision with a heavy heart. We are looking for a patient, experienced, and dedicated home, ideally with no other pets and enough space for him to run. With structure and the right environment, Yam Yam can absolutely thrive.

Story
Dobby is a survivor. For six years, he roamed the streets of Pristina, Kosovo—dodging roundups, hunger, and locals who abused strays like him. He lost an eye and half his tail as a result of human cruelty, but he hasn't lost his gentleness. After a 15-hour flight to the U.S., he’s discovering safety for the first time. He let me bathe him on his first night, learned to trust, and now sleeps curled beside me every night. Dobby is fully housetrained, neutered, vaccinated, and gets along beautifully with dogs of all sizes. He has warmed up to my cat and is now fully integrated into my little "pack." He follows my older dog’s lead, loves quiet company, and rests deeply—finally able to relax. He’s not high-energy; he’s content with warmth, softness, and love. Dobby deserves a calm home with patient, experienced dog owners.

Story
Everybody meet Zadie!! Zadie is an absolute doll!! She is gentle and sweet and is a staff favorite. Zadie keeps her kennel clean, and we think she would be pretty easy to house break. We think she is some sort of hound pointer mix, about 2 years old weighing in at about 45 pounds. Zadie is a gentle girl who loves to give hugs. She would love a home with room to run and/or an active family. She is willing to snuggle just as much as she'd love a good hike or long walk. If you are interested in meeting Zadie, please submit an application at animalrescuefoundation.org/adoptionapplication Please share to help us get this girl home finally!!
