Meet Malfoy, Malfoy is a sweet little boy that wants to get all the attention from everyone. But like all the others loves to run and play, but he is definitely the biggest water baby because as I’m filling the water bowls, he is standing on his back legs, trying to eat it out of the pitcher and then wants to stick his head under the running water.

Story
The holidays have come and gone and sweet miss Holly Berry’s wish to find a forever home hasn’t come true yet. And we really are uncertain as to why. She’s a wonderful pup who craves being close to humans and she is super eager to please. She adores being pet and will happily drop into your lap for belly rubs and snuggles. She loves to play fetch and is guaranteed to make you laugh with her silly antics. She’s always ready for an adventure and would make the perfect walking or hiking companion. As an added bonus, she’s a social butterfly and loves every person that she meets, so she’s sure to make some new friends on your journeys together! Holly does need a home with a high, non-chainlink fence as she can climb. She would also do best as an only dog. She does get along with other dogs that she meets, but would prefer to be the apple of your eye as an only dog in your household. Her background story is one of survival. She was moments away from being put down in a shelter in Texas. Saved just in time, she moved from a cramped shelter to a spacious outdoor pen—one that was meant to be temporary. But that temporary space has stretched on, and Holly is still waiting for the one thing she craves most: a real home. Holly is estimated to be about 2 years old and weighs 54 pounds. She is fully vaccinated and spayed. She is currently if Texas but will be transported to NJ once adopted. Personality: loves people, eager to please, affectionate, loves to play, social butterfly, is a climber so needs high fence Good with: people of all ages (including kids).  Gets along with other dogs but will do best as only dog in household.  Has not been cat tested yet. Training: crate trained, leash trained, knows some basic commands Estimated date of birth: June 2023 Weight: 54 pounds Medical: vetted, up to date on vaccinations, spayed, microchipped Location: Currently located with a foster in Texas, but if adopted, will come to the NJ area on our next transport.  For more videos of Holly Berry, check out her YouTube playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmB5-2QLmiJN0S3yA3iaOZXlFOuHqZZ1I If you have any questions please email: friendsforlifeanimalrescue@gmail.com To apply to adopt: https://form.jotform.com/210286667669167 We always need fosters, please join us! https://form.jotform.com/210257395409155 Many other dogs need our help, please consider donating or sponsoring a dog, if possible. 100% of all money received from adoption fees and donations goes directly back to support saving other dogs and cats in need.  FFLAR is a 501c(3) non-profit.   We appreciate your support!
