Story
The holidays have come and gone and sweet miss Holly Berry’s wish to find a forever home hasn’t come true yet. And we really are uncertain as to why. She’s a wonderful pup who craves being close to humans and she is super eager to please. She adores being pet and will happily drop into your lap for belly rubs and snuggles. She loves to play fetch and is guaranteed to make you laugh with her silly antics. She’s always ready for an adventure and would make the perfect walking or hiking companion. As an added bonus, she’s a social butterfly and loves every person that she meets, so she’s sure to make some new friends on your journeys together! Holly does need a home with a high, non-chainlink fence as she can climb. She would also do best as an only dog. She does get along with other dogs that she meets, but would prefer to be the apple of your eye as an only dog in your household. Her background story is one of survival. She was moments away from being put down in a shelter in Texas. Saved just in time, she moved from a cramped shelter to a spacious outdoor pen—one that was meant to be temporary. But that temporary space has stretched on, and Holly is still waiting for the one thing she craves most: a real home. Holly is estimated to be about 2 years old and weighs 54 pounds. She is fully vaccinated and spayed. She is currently if Texas but will be transported to NJ once adopted. Personality: loves people, eager to please, affectionate, loves to play, social butterfly, is a climber so needs high fence Good with: people of all ages (including kids).  Gets along with other dogs but will do best as only dog in household.  Has not been cat tested yet. Training: crate trained, leash trained, knows some basic commands Estimated date of birth: June 2023 Weight: 54 pounds Medical: vetted, up to date on vaccinations, spayed, microchipped Location: Currently located with a foster in Texas, but if adopted, will come to the NJ area on our next transport.  For more videos of Holly Berry, check out her YouTube playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmB5-2QLmiJN0S3yA3iaOZXlFOuHqZZ1I If you have any questions please email: friendsforlifeanimalrescue@gmail.com To apply to adopt: https://form.jotform.com/210286667669167 We always need fosters, please join us! https://form.jotform.com/210257395409155 Many other dogs need our help, please consider donating or sponsoring a dog, if possible. 100% of all money received from adoption fees and donations goes directly back to support saving other dogs and cats in need.  FFLAR is a 501c(3) non-profit.   We appreciate your support!

Story
!!URGENT!! Pumpkin needs to find an adopter or foster ASAP.  The mayor of her town's shelter wants to euthanize all of the dogs in there but the shelter manager is fighting hard to avoid this.  She reached out to us for help.  We currently don't have any fosters available so we are posting Pumpkin in the hopes that someone here will see her and adopt her.  If adopted, she can come to NJ on our next transport. Pumpkin was found after being dumped at a city park when she was just 2-3 months old, and she has lived at the shelter ever since. She is now just about 1.5 years old which is a long time to have had to live in a shelter.  Pumpkin is both people and dog friendly. She has not been cat tested. She is a very active dog as she has been cooped up in the shelter and is desperate for attention. She can jump high enough to give kisses.  Since Pumpkin has been in the shelter for so long she will need an adopter with some patience so they can train her. Personality: friendly, energetic, playful Good with: people and dogs.  Has not been cat tested yet. Estimated date of birth: February 2024 Weight: about 30 pounds, medium-sized Medical: spayed, vaccinated, microchipped Location: Currently located in a shelter in Texas, but if adopted, will come to the NJ area on our next transport.  &#226&#128&#139If you have any questions please email: friendsforlifeanimalrescue@gmail.com To apply to adopt: https://form.jotform.com/210286667669167 We always need fosters, please join us!  https://form.jotform.com/210257395409155 #fflpetrescue #availableforadoption #fosteringsaveslives Many other dogs need our help, please consider donating or sponsoring a dog, if possible. 100% of all money received from adoption fees and donations goes directly back to support saving other dogs and cats in need.  FFLAR is a 501c(3) non-profit.   We appreciate your support!
