Story
Axel is a one year old pomsky. The first thing you'll notice about Axel are his eyes. They are two different colors blue with black. He is a beautiful, sweet, playful, energetic, happy, and smart dog. Axel still has his puppy energy! He wants to play but can absolutely relax and lay with you on the couch. Axel would do best in a home that has a yard where he can run around. He loves finding sticks and running with them. He also would be better to be either by himself or with another dog. He should not be in a home with a cat. Axel LOVES the snow. He will roll around in the snow and will bury his body in it. Axel is trained! He is crate trained (with treats), he is house broken and he will let you know when he needs to go out. He can sit, go to place, come when called, and knows the word off (to get off the couch or counter grazing). He loves the command "ready, set, go" when playing outside and then find joy to watch him run at full speed.

Story
🚨 Toby is losing his home and needs a dedicated foster or adopter! Toby is a four year old neutered male German Shepherd. He is friendly with greeting guests and new people, but also loves to be with his people. Toby’s very big at 100 lbs and strong. He is a talkative shepherd, but that’s just who he is. He walks wonderfully on leash, except when he sees squirrels. But he is easily redirected with food! Toby’s super smart and will work for food or toys! He LOVES tug! He also has a very nice off switch in the house. He is known to be dog friendly at the dog park and met our female dog tester, so he can live with another dog, but he can be vocal when meeting mew dogs. Any dog siblings would require a meet a greet with Toby because it must be a good match, and the resident dog should be less confrontational. He’s been around cats, but is afraid of them and will bark at them so he may be best with no kitties. We will be requiring German Shepherd/large breed working dog experience for him. And a family who will pursue professional training and work at long term management of teaching him to tolerate paw touching/nail clipping, teeth brushing and ear cleaning. Toby will also require a fenced in yard as he has been known to leave the yard and can clear a 5 ft fence to run after squirrels. We are hoping an experienced foster or adopter applies for him within the time frame we have but we cannot take him in without a committed foster/adopter willing to work with Toby.

Hoppi

Shih Tzu Terrier (Unknown Type, Small)

Female, 9 mos
Scotch Plains, NJ
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Meet Hoppi! She is 9 months old. Our best guess is that Hoppi and her siblings are all terrier/Shih Tzu mixes. All we know is that they’re relatively low shedding. Hoppi and some other pups were rescued from an unsafe hoarding situation. But Hoppi hasn’t let her circumstances affect her too much! She is good with dogs and would benefit from a confident well established dog sibling. Because of where Hoppi came from, we will be looking for a patient family who will help her overcome her history, help her overcome any new experiences (which will be everything), work on potty training and how much fun this world can be!

Story
Meet Roxie! She is 7 months and 11 lbs. Our best guess is that Roxie and her siblings are all terrier/poodle mixes. All we know is that they’re relatively low shedding. Roxie and some other pups were rescued from an unsafe hoarding situation. But Roxie hasn’t let her circumstances affect her too much! She is a spitfire and loves zoomies… she is good with all dogs big and small. She’s also good with cats! She also loves playing with toys. She’s “learning” fetch- as in she learned she loves when you throw toys but doesn’t feel the need to bring it back to you! After a nice play session and getting her energy out, she enjoys a nice cuddle session with her human. Because of where Roxie came from, we will be looking for a patient family who will help her overcome her history, help her overcome any new experiences (which will be everything), work on potty training and how much fun this world can be!
