Story
Chuck is a 10-12-month-old dark chocolate lab mix male. He has an unusual and beautiful coat that is a golden and dark brown two-tone effect. He is a lively pup who likes to hoard all his toys in his bed! He is house-trained and will sleep all night in his crate and for several hours during the day if needed. Chuck is also very food motivated, making teaching him a few treats very easy. He will run to his crate for snacks and has been fed in there so it is a positive place for him. If you prefer, he will sleep and snuggle with you all night in your bed too! He needs tough chew toys/bones to prevent him from chewing other stuff at home. He has been fostered with two other dogs he loves to play with and greets everyone enthusiastically. Chuck has also been to dog parks and will interact and play nicely with everyone he meets. Chuck can play all day long with short naps in between. Chuck knows ‘sit’, ‘bed’, ‘leave it’, ‘down’, ‘stay’, and will always come on command’. Chuck is easy to put a leash on and walks nicely without issues. Chuck likes to lie next to you for cuddles when he is tired and takes his puppy nap, but he will also sleep peacefully in his bed. He gives kisses and is a sweet-natured boy who needs someone willing to ensure he gets his puppy energy out and who will continue to teach him boundaries and basic good behaviors like any other puppy. He would do best in a home with a fenced yard and at least one other friendly dog that loves to play. With an active owner/family. He would love to go on hiking and jogging and any adventure with his human. "He is such a love sponge who loves to cuddle and makes me laugh with his funny antics! He has learned so much and now just needs a loving home. You get a fully vaccinated, microchipped, neutered, house-trained, crate-trained dog who knows many commands and who has lived with other dogs (often cats and children, too) and has been socialized." From Chuck's foster mom!! This boy is a cutie pie and is in the process of being neutered. Fostered in NJ.

Paramus, NJ
Size

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Delilah was left behind when her owners moved, and the landlord wanted to send her to the shelter. She was pregnant, and there was no question that we couldn't send her to the shelter because her chances and the puppies staying alive were about zero. Delilah gave birth to 9 beautiful puppies on January 8th. Unfortunately, only 7 survived. Delilah is estimated to be about one year old and 55 lbs, but we expect her to gain some additional weight now after giving birth. She can come to the NJ area on the next transport if she's adopted. Things to know about Delilah: Delilah is a strong girl, like all shepherds are. She’s learning to heal when the foster walks her, but she will need more training. She was around cats and didn't seem to care, but she does have a high prey drive with chickens!! We recommend being careful with cats. Needs a high-fenced yard. Preferably not chain link because she climbs on it. Gets along with other dogs. She loves water!!! She sits In Her water during the HOT summer with over 110 temps in the south. Check her video attached. She sits on the Command She loves attention, and she would sit in your lap all day if she could. She listens when she's told, "No jump," while excited when the foster goes in the pen with her. Getting calmer now. The best fit for Delilah will be: We prefer an experienced owner with the breed!! Because of her strength, we recommend children older than 13 Someone who is willing to invest in her training. Active family High-fenced-in backyard (not a link chain) Someone who wants the love of a Shep girl!! *Dogs that are posted are available to be adopted. **If you send us an email, please check the spam folder for our response, as sometimes our email is there.
