Story
Missy (previously named Anise) was found as a stray and brought to the Associated Humane Society of Newark. She struggled in the shelter environment, but clearly lived in a home. Despite the stress, she bonded to the staff of the shelter and welcomed love and attention. She is estimated to be about 7 years old and is 15 pounds. She has had some medical issues since coming to Peace Pointe. First she had a lump removed, but thankfully the biopsy was good and it was benign! Phew. Sadly, after her first foster-to-adopt family fell through, she experienced sudden blindness… This poor little lady had to see an Ophthalmologist and it was determined she has an autoimmune disease (not contagious to other dogs) called Panuveitis. She is now clear from this, and can see fine! Unfortunately, the steroids created or helped to grow a growth on her mammary gland. Sadly this poor little lady was not spayed until AHSNewark took care of her. Thankfully, the mass was removed completely and successfully! She is now cancer free! Despite her health issues, she is very active and excitable! She loves listening to the birds, riding in the car, cuddling on the couch, guarding the front door from squirrel invaders, and playing with toys. Missy walks very excitedly on the leash, and wants to meet most people who pass her by. She loves to cuddle with you, and like a typical terrier likes to dig and snuffle in your lap or on the couch. She could go home with a compatible pup. Missy is currently in a foster home in Atlantic Highlands, NJ. We are happy to do any meet and greets, and certainly multiple meet ups may be necessary. Are you the special family willing to give her this opportunity at a normal and cherished life? To set up a meet and greet - e-mail Info@peacepointe.com

Story
Hello my pet's name is Jerzey Boy. He is one of four dogs that my husband and I purchased while we were married. Jerzey is 8 years old, and his birthday is in February. He likes to be active running and playing. He also loves kids and other dogs. Never been near cats... not sure about the interaction. All of my dogs are very protective and ensures that you know someone is in the perimeter of your house. We purchase him from The Pet Shoppe on Route 35 in Middletown, NJ from the time he was a puppy. I would describe him as alert (but definitely not annoying), friendly, loving and playful. He loves to dress up in ties and holiday clothes. The only reason I need to surrender Jerzey is for the busy schedule that I currently have in my life. My kids and I work long hours, and they both go to school. I was an at home mom and wife for majority of his life. I'm currently in a long dragged-out divorce and I would like someone that can offer him the attention he deserves.

Story
Mimi is a 10 year old English Bulldog. She absolutely loves people. Mimi was spoiled from a young and as our family has grown, she still demands the same attention, which she does not always receive. She needs a disciplined home and as we're expecting a baby, we're hoping to find a temporary or long term home for Mimi to live. We would share in expenses for vet, etc.
