Story
My name is Hutch! I am about 6.5 years old and 55 lbs. I am in a wonderful foster home in CT and I am the full package. I also have eyes that will melt your heart. I love people and I am fabulous with kids of all ages. I am extremely loyal and love to be close but I am not annoying! I am good with other dogs. I live with two dogs in my foster home and I am respectful. I like to play and I enjoy their company! I can easily live as an only dog; I have enough confidence and independence where that won't be a problem. But dog friends are very welcome. I am completely housebroken and trustworthy. No crate needed! I am fine for a few hours if my people need to go out. I walk well on leash and have fun going out and about in social situations. I am medium energy. I love my entertainment and exercise but I am a master at cuddling on the couch and just chilling too. Toys? I am a fan of stuffies and love to carry them around in my mouth. I am a wonderful age with a lot of years ahead. I am a stellar mature boy - who really wants to train a puppy these days?! My fee has been reduced as a result of a very wonderful donor! I am located in CT. Here is the link to the application: https://www.zivadogrescue.org/adoptable-dogs

Story
My name is Mitch. I have a story. I have a story of hope and luck and chance. Here is my abbreviated version: I was saved by a wonderful family from the streets of Texas - I was starved, hot and thirsty. This family ended up welcoming me into their home in the Northeast. They wanted to see my care through in the hopes they would be my forever people. I love them so much, I could not have asked for better care. But, I am not thriving in my urban environment. It's not their fault - it's where they live and that can't be changed right now. I deserve to be relaxed and at ease and as much as we all wish it was different, it just isn't. So my fabulous humans reached out to Ziva Dog Rescue to help me find the perfect home that I deserve so much. Facts: I am 7 years old. I am a Great Pyrenees Mix. I am about 70 lbs but when I fill out should probably be closer to 80. I am tall, lean and graceful. I am housebroken and I am a mature adult so no crate needed nor am I into those either. I am friendly with everyone - kids, cats and dogs. I am a southern gentleman and when I greet you, I will literally shake your hand. I have that amazing "Pyr paw" going. I need a fenced in yard and it should be 5+ feet. I have not jumped over anything but we think I could. I need a family that can also take me on walks because I seem to like those when I am not in the midst of many moving cars, loud trains and many people like I am on the city streets. I enjoy coffee shops, bookstores and social settings. I love the woods and going on short hikes. I am very attached to my people and want them around more often than not. Who can blame me... who knows what my life has been until now. I don't want to let this chance go. I will melt your heart when you meet me. Truly. All of these steps and the effort of so many people are going to lead me to exactly where I am supposed to be. I am located in the NJ area.

Story
My name is Laura. I am about 7 months and 38 lbs. Ziva Dog Rescue believes I am a lab/hound mix. The lab is pretty obvious! I am as cute as a button and a very good girl too. I am timid by nature at first but it didn't take me long to warm up. I am a master at routines and learned them all very quickly. I am perfectly crate trained and sleep quietly and soundly through the night. I am housebroken too! My foster parents have to leave for a few hours each day and I did well adjusting to their schedule. I am very dog friendly and really enjoy my playmates in my foster home. I could live with another dog or two but could also adjust as your one and only with a little time and patience to trust my surroundings. My personality is overall pretty chill. I have a great temperament and can amuse myself with toys. If you work from home, I promise, I won't bother you much! I love to be lazy but can also get excited for new fun things as anyone should. I would love to meet you. I am located in NJ. Cats okay! Here is a link to the application: https://www.zivadogrescue.org/adoptable-dogs

Story
My name is Sparkle. It's a suitable name for me! I am about 11 months old and 38 lbs. Full grown, I might put on a couple more but I am pretty much filled out. I am a Cattle Dog/Carolina Mix. I could have a little Shepherd down the line or Husky (no l am not a singer!). I am a well-rounded, active and incredibly affectionate girl. My favorite place is close to my humans so in that regard, I am a little bit of a velcro dog. I am great with other dogs and enjoy their company. I am respectful of the older dog and playful with the younger dog. I have been around kids of all ages, even those young ones and I feel comfortable around all of them. I am always happy to meet new people and dogs. I enjoy going on walks and always ready to join my humans for a ride in the car. I am able to play independently too when needed. I am still young so some basic rules need to be instilled when I get to my new home. I would love an active family to take me to fun places where I can share my amazing qualities with many friends. A spot on the couch is a requirement too! I am located in NJ. Here is a link to the application: https://www.zivadogrescue.org/adoptable-dogs

Story
My name is Bob! I am 70 lbs and a settled in adult at 5 years old. I am in need of a new home. I am a stunning Chow/Shepherd/Lab mix. If you are looking for a true companion that is easy, trustworthy and ready to go, I am really it. Really! I am a fantastic dog. I am housebroken, free roaming and well-behaved in my home. I love people and I love kids. I have lived with school-aged kids for most of my life and have interacted with younger kids many times too. I really enjoy them. I am good with dogs. I have mostly lived with dogs smaller than myself. I could easily live as an only in my home or with a nice mild mannered companion like myself. I walk well on leash, enjoy the beach and strolling in my neighborhood. I still love to get some exercise but medium energy at my age. I can totally lounge and I am as loyal as they come. We are unsure about cats. I am located in NJ and would love to meet you. Here is a link to the application: https://www.zivadogrescue.org/adoptable-dogs

Story
My name is Romeo! I am 5 months old and about 34 lbs. I am a Bulldog mix and perhaps some Cattle Dog. I have fantastic spots that harken to a Dalmatian and of course some other fun breeds! I am a true social gentleman. If you are a human (or not) - young or old, boy or girl, short or tall, I love you already. Really. I do. I walk into any situation like I am the only boy in the room. I literally light up any space. I love walking, I love playing with toys, I love cuddling on the couch, I love going to new places, I love other dogs, I love food! You would never ever think my start as a baby was a rough one given my vibrant outlook on life. I am crate trained and housebroken. I walk well on leash and stay right by your side and love to go on walks! I have gone out to get coffee, went to puppy yoga and have met so many people on my daily adventures. I am smart and obedient and have learned things quickly. Important notes - belly rubs. Belly rubs ARE key to my being and my people must be okay with that! I also like my couch time, don't get me wrong. I need a fun and active family or person. I know there are a lot of timid pups and dogs out there that need to take their time and ease in. I don't. I want to walk the city streets, go to restaurants and bars, go on doggie playdates, attend kids' sports games and those family barbecues and birthday parties or even go to work with you! I am located in NJ and yes, would be happy* to meet you. Here is a link to the application: https://www.zivadogrescue.org/adoptable-dogs
