Eliza

Border Collie Shiba Inu

Female, Adult

Oakland, NJ

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Eliza!This young adult petite border collie mix is looking for a special person to continue her training and socialization. She is very fearful and distrustful of people until she bonds, but once she trusts is a fun high energy walking, hiking and jogging companion with her chosen buddy. She's fearful and avoids other dogs and is looking for a calmer experienced adult home with just one person she can bond to and protect. She loves to catch frisbees and play fetch and is a dog who needs a "job" to keep her mind busy and give her an appropriate outlet for her energy... no couch potatoes for this dog! Eliza is about 35lbs full grown and has the intelligence and energy of a border collie, with a bit more of the independent attitude of a shiba or spitz type breed. *Multiple meets required* Please submit an application for an appointment to meet her Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Age: 6yrs 2mths 2wks

Harry

Chihuahua Jack Russell Terrier

Male, Young

Oakland, NJ

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Harry!This adorable 8 month old pup was living in a car with his mom and brother when their owner lost their housing. He's a little timid at first but a sweet playful puppy who warms up quickly and is a lot of fun. He loves other dogs and would love a more confident doggie brother or sister. His mom is a tiny 8lbs chihuahua believe it or not, and we are going to guess dad is a bigger maybe bully breed or terrier mix of some kind. Harry is about 13lbs and probably won't grow too much bigger. His mom has significant heart disease that is likely congenital and he does have a very mild heart murmur- he's getting more of a work up to see how significant it is but will need regular vet visits likely to monitor his progress as he ages. Please submit an application to meet Harry! Primary Color: Brindle Weight: 13 Age: 0yrs 8mths 2wks

Millie

Old English Sheepdog Poodle (Standard)

Female, Senior

Oakland, NJ

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Story

Meet Millie! This friendly gentle senior "sheepadoodle" (old english sheepdog/standard poodle is our best guess) came to us as a cruelty case painfully thin. Initially she had some GI issues and not much of an appetite but is doing much better with a special diet and we are working on getting some weight on her, though she still has some medical testing pending to rule out other underlying conditions. We are hoping to find her a calmer local foster home for now where she can continue to recover and be closely monitored with multiple feedings per day. She came in weighing only 33lbs but should be at least 50-60 most likely once she fills out. She was likely very matted and recently shaved down to the skin but will be a dog who needs regular grooming as her coat grows back. Please submit a foster or adoption application if you would like to open your home to this sweet soul either temporarily or permanently. We think she is about 8 years old, but still has great energy and loves attention. Primary Color: Grey Secondary Color: White Weight: 35.125 Age: 8yrs 0mths 1wks

Snickers

Hound (Unknown Type) Beagle

Male, Adult

Oakland, NJ

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Snickers is one of several mixed breeds who came to us from a local home who became overwhelmed with too many dogs... another important reminder of why spay/neuter is so important! In just a few years, 2 dogs and their offspring became 20+!!! The rest of his family members have been adopted, but as one of the most fearful Snickers is still waiting for his special person. Snickers is a 2 ½ yr old mixed breed hound at under 45lbs full grown. Snickers was terrified and had never been out of the house/yard or on a leash before coming to us, but has come a long way trusting his special people. He loves other dogs and would benefit from a quieter patient adult home with a compatible more confident dog to learn from and follow. He gets easily spooked on walks by too many people, trucks, loud noises, etc and tries to run back to the safety of his kennel. The busy shelter environment is especially difficult on fearful dogs and he would love to get into a quiet adult home soon. He's had some issues with chronic ear infections on and off and panics being handled by the vets without sleepy meds, but has been doing better on a special hypoallergenic diet and not having as many flares, and is otherwise healthy.

Christopher

Maltese Shih Tzu

Male, Senior

Oakland, NJ

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Not good with kids, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

It was 5am. The call went out: Send the Police! 🚨 Adorned in protective gear, the police approached the house timidly - unsure what they'd find inside. The homeowner had called frantically. A monster may be lying in wait...As the door sprung open, a demon emerged: fluffy, 12lb, 8 year old Christopher. Street name: Christo-FURY.Look at him the wrong way, and he'll have something to say. Interrupt his nap and you'll never hear the end of it. While he may look like a perfectly cuddly lapdog, he is ANYTHING BUT. That 5am call to the police about a 12lb dog terrorizing her? That's true...and, that's how Christopher finds himself with us now. A wannabe police dog, this Maltese/Shih Tzu mix found himself on the outside looking in at the Police Dog Academy. HIs bark found insufficiently fearsome, and his tiny frame unfit for the riggers of police life. Now: all bark, no badge. Many things offend our little ChristoFURY. On the short list: men, children, strangers, neighbors, delivery people, repairmen, vets, groomers, sharing food, big or energetic dogs.Christopher definitely has some good qualities, too. He's quite a charmer with the ladies - often able to hide his devious side. Christopher gives plenty of warning if you learn his rules and listen to them. He's a good walker, non-shedding, and smart. Overall, Christopher is in great health other than a mild heart murmur which doesn't require medication. Beyond a patient one, we aren't sure what home will suit this little devil best. He may accept the presence of another chill dog, does not want kisses goodnight or to be woken up too early in the morning, and can be bribed with chicken and cheese. If you are still reading and thinking this sounds like a great dog to adopt, please make an appointment with a good therapist(KIDDING), and apply at RBARI.org/dogs so we can broker a meeting with ChristoFURY.If you think you can "fix" him, don't bother - those relationships never work out if you aren't ready to accept each other flaws and all, and he's done with trying to fit into society's convention of what a "pet" should be and looking to live life on his terms - with the rap sheet to prove it.
