Story

Let me introduce you to Tiger. His story is a difficult one. Tiger belonged to my mother, who just turned 82 and is now facing health challenges that make it impossible for her to continue caring for him. We took Tiger in temporarily while hoping to find him a loving home, but we haven’t had any luck yet. We refuse to take him to a shelter, as the stress of losing his owner and then being placed in an unfamiliar environment, would be too much for him. Our only wish is to find a kind family who can give Tiger the love, stability, and care he deserves. We are not asking for any fee; we simply want the right home for him.Tiger is a sweet, gentle dog. He can be a little shy at first, but he warms up quickly and loves playing outside and running in the yard. It breaks my mother’s heart that she can no longer keep him, and it breaks ours to see her suffer, but this is the situation we’re facing.If you love dogs and would consider giving Tiger a second chance and a safe, loving home call us!

Story

Bodie is a typical Great Dane who hasn't had an easy life so far. But all of that changed in Nov. Bodie was found wandering the streets of West Virginia looking for food and a safe place to curl up. He was picked up and taken to the local shelter where he was scheduled to be euthanized because they were (and often face) being completely out of space. He hitched a ride to NJ where he landed in foster care with a family who already have 2 dogs: a 36lb spaniel mix and a 14lb Havanese. Bodie was delighted to be inside and have a full belly. The foster family has children that live in the south, so after a week's respite in NJ, Bodie was packed up, along with the 2 family dogs and hit the road for a 2 week road trip to visit the kids and their dogs. Bodie is a Great traveler. He smoothly shifted from one stop to the next as long as he had his humans in tow. He rides great in the car (although likes to rest his head on your shoulder while riding). We visited a house with a fenced back yard as well as a townhouse where he needed to be leash walked and Bodie handled it all like a champ. He doesn't love his crate as he would much rather be sitting on the couch next to you, but on the few times we weren't able to bring him along he waited in his crate for our return. Bodie has visited 2 separate off leash dog parks where he felt everyone, both human & canine were simply friends he hadn't met yet. The estimation is that Bodie is about 4yrs old. He came into foster care stiff and sore but over time he has loosened up and has started to act more and more playful. He is incredibly affectionate and seems to believe he is "lap dog" size. He thrives on attention and will happily lean into you for hours of pets and cuddles. What Bodie wants most in life is to be where is people are, so if you prefer your personal space, Bodie is not the dog for you. Having a Giant Breed dog is different than even the largest of Golden Retriever or Lab. He can rest his chin on the stove top and currently believes if he can reach the food - he should have the food. We spend some time each day wiping off counters. We think there was a significant amount of time where Bodie didn't know where his next meal would come from, so right now we are feeding him 3cups of dog food, 3 times a day and he still always seems to be hungry. He could stand to put on a few pounds, but we don't want him to put on too much weight as that wouldn't be great for his structure. Because he takes mealtimes seriously, we feed Bodie in his crate in a puzzle bowl so he knows his meals are just for him. That being said, he shows no signs of food aggression and takes treats sitting next to the other dogs with zero issues. We just want him to know he's safe and will always have a full belly. There were some concerns about his hips while he was in shelter so they ran blood work and x-rayed his hips, and everything appears to be where and what it should be. Bodie is a bit of a drooler when he drinks but the only time we "duck for cover" is when he shakes his head just after drinking. We cannot say enough amazing things about Bodie. He is an absolute love bug. But we want his adoptive home to be his final home - so please think carefully if a giant breed is right for you and your household. Our 14lb. Havanese is not a fan of Bodie as he gets stepped when Bodie isn't paying attention. So please consider anyone or animal in your home who might not appreciate Bodie's size. Whoever is lucky enough to adopt Bodie will have a loyal companion and friend for life. Are you who Bodie's been waiting to find?

Story

Peppa is a sweet girl very playful. She has so much energy and unfortunately our busy schedule doesn’t let her correctly channel that energy. I don’t want her to be cooped up in her cage all day. I would love for her to have a yard to play in and someone who can train her properly so that she can roam around. She is potty trained but has accidents from time to time. I really want her to go to a loving home that can let her get her energy out so that she can behave better. She is not great around other dogs she gets anxious but I believer socializing her can also help ease her anxiety.

Watchung, NJ

Size

Good with dogs, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Simba is from Greece. He has been with us since he is 3 months old. He is going to be 12 in May. He has been a huge part of our family but in the past 6 months has started to have a barking problem. He has been on xanex and it helps sometimes. I think it may be triggered by our 1.5 year old daughter. I am having a baby in April and we will not be able to keep a barking dog in the house. He is not aggressive, has never biten or even tried to bite but he is an anxious dog and I believe that is part of his barking problem. We are very sad to let Simba go, but we think we need to. We hope to find a very loving home for him.

Story

🩷 Rescue Story Lina was rescued just before euthanasia from "Jeongeup Shelter" in South Korea. Thanks to timely intervention, she was given a second chance at life and moved into foster care, where her bright and affectionate personality has truly blossomed. 🌿 Temperament & Behavior Lina is friendly and social. On walks, she shows curiosity toward other dogs and cats, but when she meets a cat, she simply sniffs briefly and walks away calmly. She gets along well with other dogs and can live in a multi-dog household. She may show a bit of jealousy at times, as many girls do, but she has never shown aggression or biting behavior. She is extremely affectionate and loves attention. She is friendly with all people, though she is especially drawn to women and seems to have a soft spot for women in their 50s. 🚶 Walking & Daily Life Lina enjoys leisurely walks with plenty of time to sniff and explore. She is always walked using a double leash for safety. Her shedding level is moderate to slightly high, about 6 out of 10. She is not picky with food and is fed high-quality kibble. Her regular diet includes Acana Free-Run Duck or Blue Buffalo Salmon. Treats are given sparingly, about once a week. 🏡 Habits & Training Lina primarily does her potty outdoors. She goes on walks in the morning and evening, ranging from one hour to sometimes up to two hours. She does well with baths. While brushing hasn’t been necessary due to her coat type, she enjoys being touched and handled. She does not show separation anxiety. When her foster returns home, she simply greets them happily with tail wags and no destructive behavior. She barks only occasionally—once when she is in a great mood, or briefly in response to loud motorcycle delivery noises. She may experience mild motion sickness on longer car rides, such as trips to nearby camping areas, but she has never vomited. 💛 Likes & Personality Lina loves walking side by side with her foster mom and truly enjoys greeting and meeting her dog friends. Her gentle nature and affectionate personality make her a joy to be around. She is currently living in a foster home. ✨ Personality (Three Words): Innocent, affectionate, sweet.
