Story
Chantilly, or Tilly for short, is a ton of love, personality, and snuggles with a hint of diva all rolled into a compact 32 lbs of gorgeous brindle and white!! We call her Silly Tilly!! She is nearly perfect! She has impeccable manners! At 6 years old she is mature enough to know the ropes! Completely housebroken, fine left alone uncrated for several hours, no inappropriate chewing, listens well and takes treats gently. Her energy level is perfect. Mostly chill but will play with toys and have the zoomies in the yard once or twice a day. She even has a few commands in her repertoire including "sit", "shake", "spin" and "speak"! She likes a shower too! She walked right into the stand up shower with her foster Mom so she got a shower with some lovely human shampoo since her foster Mom wasn't prepared for this! She was comfortable and easy-going from the start in her foster home and took to the house routine almost immediately. This girl will acclimate and bond SUPER QUICK with her new lucky family! She was dumped at a crowded rural shelter in April. Her family simply stated they could no longer care for her. The shelter was getting VERY over crowded like all shelters across the U.S. these days so Rogers' took her in to get her off "the list". It is a sad state our shelters are facing these days. There are just so many dogs being dumped so we are glad you are here, reading about Tilly, because that means you want to help this situation and ADOPT!! Tilly is one of the best behaved fosters her foster family has ever had and they have fostered alot of dogs. Tilly's new family must have one thing. Her new family needs to have a southern facing backyard so she can do what she loves to do best. SUN BATHE! (ok any direction backyard will actually do :). If competitive sunbathing was a thing, Tilly would win GOLD! Tilly is fine with other dogs. She was kenneled at the shelter with two and there are 2 resident dogs in her foster home. She enjoys the company of people over dogs but co-exists lovely with other dogs in the home. She loves to be where you are but not annoyingly so, loves a sturdy lap to enjoy pets if you let her, and will just snuggle up next you and be happy watching you do what you do! Need a home office buddy? A movie watching friend? An instant guest at backyard BBQs? Tilly is your gal. Tilly's breed is likely Boston Terrier with something else mixed in ... a bulldog perhaps? Maybe even Beagle? Only a DNA test will tell us for sure but she is sooooo adorable and has the cutest mug with her underbite!! You have to meet this gal to really appreciate how easy it is to love her! Wouldn't it be fun to have a DNA reveal party for this gal?? At this point you may be thinking ... "this gal sounds too perfect. what is the catch?". Well there is one catch. Tilly has a bum back left knee. It doesn't appear to cause her much pain and she gets around just fine, holding her leg up at times. We are in the process of getting her evaluated and so far it appears she will need orthopedic knee surgery. We are open to having her adoptive home take her and get the surgery done either with the vet she is going to now or their own vet and the rescue will pay for the surgery. We are also open to a family stepping up for her but having the surgery and recuperating while still in foster care and then being adopted to her family. Either way, Tilly gets the care she needs. Rogers' Rescues always commits to getting the care needed for all our dogs regardless of their issue. Want to spend the rest of your days with a silly, fun loving gal that will make you laugh and feel unconditionally loved all day? Apply for Tilly now. This funny little gremlin is truly one of a kind!!   If you are interested in adopting a dog, please fill out our application. Meetings will not be scheduled without an application.

Story
Our beloved Pepper was purchased at Shake-a-Paw. She is 4 years old. All members of our household love pepper. Pepper has never been crate-trained. She is not destructive when left home alone. She is extremely intelligent. She knows various commands, sit, stay, wait, no, come, etc. She loves lots of attention. She is very protective and loyal and tends to be territorial. We desire to have her adopted by someone who does not have children - since we never evaluated her with children. She enjoys the outdoors and would require a backyard. She has a lot of energy. She is a herding dog and tends to nip when triggered by strange people entering her environment. She requires time to get used to new people. However, if she is in an environment other than her home she is shy and nervous but doesn't nip or bark aggressively. All we want is for Pepper to be happy. We are putting her up for adoption due to my elderly father coming to live with us and he is highly allergic to animals.

Story
Hi, my name is Cupcake, as I am the sweetest girl you’ll ever meet. I am a 2.5-year-old Canaan dog originally from Jordan. My life didn’t start off easy. I was owned by someone who mistreated me. For the first few years of my life all I saw was abuse at the hands of the person who was supposed to be my protector. One day a local rescue called “Rahmeh” took me for TNR. The minute they returned me to the area, a Good Samaritan called them to inform them of the daily abuse they witnessed me endure and urged them to rescue me. They didn’t hesitate. Upon retrieving me from my unfortunate circumstance, my rescuers noticed that I had lost part of my front leg and that my back leg appeared to be paralyzed. Despite my disability, I am able to walk and run a short distance beside people. My mobility is good on carpeting, stone surfaces, and grass. My rescuers saw my potential to overcome my challenges, so they contacted Canaan Dog Alliance who gave me an opportunity to travel to the United States. I am now here in New Jersey waiting to find my forever home. My ideal home is one that is quiet and childless, with adults that have the dog expertise and time to invest in professionally training me. I need a kind and patience approach to blossom to my potential. Will you give me the second chance that I deserve?
