Story

I got Cash some years ago shortly after moving into a new home. He was given as a gift for the kids and family at three months old. Cash is a very sweet dog, very lovable. Loves getting scratches and rub downs. Non-aggressive but barks when he wants something - (food, water or to go out). In a new home he needs structure, active time spent outdoors exercising (jogs & walks), affection, and a stern parent. He is very food driven and will reach for human food that is left unattended, tries to go through the trash when unsupervised and is big enough to reach the tables and kitchen counters. Intended on taking him to obedience training but we need to move and cannot take him with us. He's a big teddy bear and needs a home with someone who is patient but firm with him and someone who actually has the time, home setup and lifestyle to accommodate him. Someone who is looking for company during their morning and evening walk/jog and is ready to fall in love with his sweet nature is ideal.

Female, Adult

Details

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter,

Story

Lyla was a puppy from a family dog. She was gifted to my mother who lives in a rough neighborhood so she wouldn’t be a lone. Unfortunately my mother has fallen too ill. Lyla is such a sweet dog. She needs a bit more strict training but she’s very affectionate. She LOVES to eat and she loves to lay next to you and to be rubbed for time on end. She has a silly yet sassy personality and likes to be outside. She needs someone loving but tough. She isn’t the best with small dogs but she will listen to her owner for the most part. She is a little sissy when it comes to bigger dogs. Lyla is protective but like I said loving. She has a bunch of energy and needs to be able to run outside… a secure gated yard is ideal. She is able to wait by door when needs to pee and will bring you her bowl when she’s hungry. It is also her comfort toy. She may pee on floor in defiance, and sometimes can have a loose bladder like her mother.

Story

Meet Bonita ; Newark's fluffiest diva and part-time drama queen! 💅 This 2-year-old Chow-Chow knows she is fabulous and expects her fans (aka you) to act accordingly. Life threw her some plot twists; from losing her first family due to tragedy, to living her best princess life until her second humans split up (she says it wasn't her fault, but who knows 😏). Now Bonita is looking for her forever red carpet. She is potty trained, comes with her own automatic kibble machine (very VIP), and needs a home with space to strut her stuff. If your ready for sass, snuggles, and serious fluff ; apply ASAP. We need to rehome her urgently, and she is already practicing her farewell bows. 🐾💖
