Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Ruby is a sweetheart she is 2 years old and was recently spayed microchipped and all up to date on her shots I have 2 older dogs and 3 cats and she doesn’t mind them at all. Because my husband and I are an older couple and my husband is disabled she is a bit of high energy for us. We think she would do better in a younger more active home.

Story

Cocoa Puffs is a 6 year old Miniature Australian Shepherd. She’s a pandemic puppy and is not socialized around cats, dogs and children. She is a little bit of “Nervous Nelly” when she’s around new people or unfamiliar environment. Cocoa Puffs has resource guarding issues. If she thinks you are trying to take something away from her, she will try to bite you. This does not happen on a daily basis, but it can be unpredictable. The best method while dealing with resource guarding is to give Cocoa Puffs something more of a high value treat to trade off whatever item she thinks she needs to guard. This has worked with me. More details will be provided upon contact. Cocoa Puffs is very smart. She knows the name of all her toys. She is good at doing tricks, like sit pretty, roll over, crawl, spin right/left, go through legs, etc. Of course more training can be done :) no shame in that Cocoa Puffs loves to cuddle on her own terms. She bites onBarkBox bones and eats Farmer’s Dog diet

Story

Meet Buster — a true diamond in the ruff whose life has been on pause for far too long. Buster has been living in the shelter for over TWO YEARS, and the prolonged confinement is taking a serious toll on both his physical and emotional well-being. No dog—especially one as intelligent and sensitive as Buster—can thrive under that kind of chronic stress. Buster is smart, eager to learn, and already knows basic cues like sit, paw, and lay down. What he lacks isn’t intelligence or desire—it’s the structure, consistency, and guidance that only a home environment can provide. Like many dogs who haven’t had the chance to learn proper manners in a stable setting, Buster needs clear expectations and routine to succeed. With an experienced foster who understands leadership and positive reinforcement, he has the potential to make meaningful progress and finally relax. Important to know: Buster must be an only dog — he is not dog-friendly He would do best in an adult-only home or with older, dog-savvy children He needs an experienced foster who can provide calm, consistent structure Training, routine, and mental engagement are essential for him to thrive Sadly, as a black dog, Buster is often judged before anyone gets to know him. People see his breed and color and never stop to discover the gentle, soulful dog he truly is. Behind the label is a dog who wants guidance, stability, and a chance to be seen for who he really is. ✨ All rescue support, training guidance, and vet care will be provided. ✨ You bring the consistency—we’ll support you every step of the way. Buster is a dog who has waited patiently for someone to believe in him, will you be that person? After two years in a kennel, Buster deserves a chance at life outside concrete walls. 📩 Please reach out at Rescuewithoutborders@gmail.com if you can foster/foster to adopt or want more information.

Dominick

Boxer American Bulldog

Male, Young

Millstone, NJ

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Dominick — a big-hearted, affectionate 2 year old Boxer/Bull dog mix who is struggling in the shelter simply because he loves people too much. He is losing weight due to the stressful over crowed shelter environment since he is being kenneled for a year now. Dominick is one of those dogs whose spirit quietly fades behind kennel walls. He is incredibly loving, people-oriented, and emotionally sensitive, and the shelter environment has been very hard on him. Dogs like Dominick—gentle, affectionate, and deeply bonded to humans—often suffer the most when they’re deprived of connection and routine. Dominick has energy and strength, so he will do best with a foster who enjoys daily walks, playtime, and possibly access to a fenced yard where he can run and decompress. Once his energy is burned, he is more than happy to cuddle, relax, and sleep by your side. He has a classic Boxer personality—curious, playful, intelligent, and full of joy for life. He is: Very affectionate and people-loving Smart and eager to learn Crate trained and housebroken Playful, athletic, and fun A wonderful companion for someone who enjoys an active dog with a soft heart What Dominick needs most right now is a foster home—a calm, loving place where he can finally exhale, feel safe, and show who he truly is outside the shelter. Fostering him will not only save his life, it will also help us learn more about him and match him with the perfect forever home. ✨ You don’t need to be perfect—just kind, patient, and willing to open your heart. ✨ All supplies and support will be provided by the rescue. If you can foster Dominick—even foster to adopt —you will be giving him the greatest gift: hope. 📩 Please message us at Rescuewithoutborders@gmail.com if you can help or would like more information. Fosters save lives. Dominick’s life depends on it.

Millstone, NJ

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Stevie, a 6-year-old with a goofy grin, a wagging tail, and a heart that longs for human connection. Stevie is one of those dogs who tries so hard to be brave in the shelter—but the environment is wearing on him. He is all skin and bones, older, and sensitive, and the stress of kennel life is simply too much. What Stevie needs most right now is a foster home where he can rest, decompress, and finally feel safe. Stevie’s eyes are usually cloudy but don’t let that fool you—he can see, and he navigates his surroundings just fine. What he truly “sees” best are people. He greets everyone with a wagging tail, sometimes a big kiss, and a joyful eagerness for affection. He loves being close, leaning in for scratches, and soaking up attention—especially a good back rub. On leash, Stevie can be enthusiastic, but settles and his playful, affectionate personality shines. He enjoys tug games, trades toys nicely for treats, and is relaxed around food. He does well meeting new people and shows friendly curiosity around another dog—social and tolerant, even if he is not ready for full-on play. Stevie would do best in a foster home with adults or kids 12+, someone who can offer: A calm, loving environment Gentle structure and routine Help with leash manners Plenty of affection and playtime ✨ All supplies, vet care, and rescue support will be provided. ✨ You don’t need to “fix” Stevie—just give him a chance to rest and be loved. A foster home could make all the difference for Stevie—helping him regain strength, confidence, and dignity which will help him find a forever home in his golden years. 📩 Please email us at Rescuewithoutborders@gmail.com if you can foster/foster to adopt or would like more information. Stevie deserves comfort, kindness, and a place to call home—even if just for now.

Story

Meet Billy — a sweet, 2 years old who weighs 70 pounds. He is soulful Olde English Bulldogge mix who has been overlooked in a over crowded shelter and quietly shutting down and hiding in his kennel overwhelmed and afraid. Billy is shy and sensitive dog who is terrified in the stressful shelter environment. The constant noise, confinement, and lack of consistent human connection have taken a toll on him, and it’s becoming clear that he desperately needs a foster home to decompress before the shelter breaks his spirit completely. Outside the chaos, Billy shows what he truly is: a gentle, affectionate, people-loving dog who wants nothing more than stability, kindness, and a chance to feel safe. He is smart and food motivated and hence easy to train and has an incredibly gentle mouth. He enjoys running in cooler weather and would make an excellent running partner but also just as easily adjust to your energy level. He would do best in a home that can offer: A calm, structured environment Patience and consistency Daily walks and routine A quiet place to rest and decompress Once Billy feels secure, his personality shines. He is loyal, loving, and deeply appreciative of human companionship. Dogs like him don’t ask for much—they just need someone to believe in them when they can no longer advocate for themselves. Fostering Billy will: Remove him from a stressful environment Allow his true personality to emerge Give him a real chance at finding a forever home ✨ All supplies, vet care, and support will be provided by the rescue. Please consider opening your home to Billy. A foster home could be the difference between hope and heartbreak for him. 📩 Message us at Rescuewithoutborders@gmail.com if you can foster/foster to adopt or want more information. Fosters save lives—and Billy’s life depends on it.
