Story
**Meet Tiara: Your Next Loyal and Loving Companion!** Tiara, true to the meaning of her name, is a beautiful and graceful Shepherd mix with a gorgeous golden brown coat that perfectly complements her soft, intelligent hazel eyes. At approximately 3 years old, Tiara is a friendly, confident, and affectionate dog who loves to give gentle kisses. **Personality and Playfulness** Tiara is playful and loves her squeaky toys and romping around in the yard. She enjoys long walks and walks well on a leash without pulling or reacting to other dogs. Although she has a bit of a prey drive and may try to chase cats and small critters, she is learning to leave them alone with gentle correction. Tiara is friendly and curious around new dogs and would enjoy playtime at the dog park. **Training and Intelligence** This smart girl is both affection and treat motivated, making her easy to train. She already knows basic commands, is fully housebroken, and crate trained. **Ideal Home** Tiara would thrive in an active dog experienced family who can take her on daily long walks and has access to a fenced yard for off-leash playtime with other dogs or games of fetch. She would also make an excellent hiking partner! She can live with dogs but not small animals. Kids over 13 years old is recommended. If you're looking for an active, loving, loyal, and smart dog, Tiara is the perfect match for you. **Location** Tiara is being fostered in Milltown, NJ. **Contact Information** Please email Rescuewithoutborders@gmail.com for an adoption application. Adopt Tiara and bring home a bundle of love and joy!

Story
Hello! My name is Kolo, and I'm an energetic 4-year-old Indian pariah dog. I was rescued from the streets of India as a puppy and got adopted in New Jersey. Sadly, my family is not able to care for me any longer so I'm looking for a forever home where I can live rest of my life and share all my love. Here are some things you should know about me: Energetic and Active: I love daily long walks and need plenty of exercise to keep me happy and healthy. High Prey Drive: It's best to keep me in a fenced yard to ensure I don't get into any trouble chasing after small animals. So, I cannot be around small animals in the house. Smart and Trained: I know a variety of commands and am crate trained, so I'm already ahead of the game! Sensitive Soul: Due to my early life experiences, I'm very fearful of new people and other dogs. I do best as the only dog in the house. Great with Older Kids: I get along well with older children who can respect my boundaries and understand my needs. Needs a Strong Leader: I'm looking for a strong, experienced dog owner who can continue my training and help me build my confidence every day. If you think you can provide the loving, structured home I need, please contact Rescuewithoutborders@gmail.com for an adoption application. I can't wait to meet my new family and start our adventures together!

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?
