Story
My name is Floyd! I am not just a dog—I am a gentle soul with a big heart and motivated to find forever home. Despite a rough start and a few health bumps, I wake up every day with a wagging tail, ready to play fetch, and excited to lounge on the couch with all of my friends! I am around 4 years old, 57 lbs and a stunning Catahoula mix. I will insist that I am your perfect lap dog and I'll happily prove it by climbing right into your lap and melting like butter. Your circulation may disagree, but your heart won’t. Snuggling is essential with me - I seek out dogs, humans and blankets for my security and comfort. When I am not soaking up cuddles, I play ball by myself! I will toss it, chase it, and bounce around. I also hang out with my doggie foster siblings and the cats in my home! I like to be around them all and often you will find a dog pile right on the couch. I am housebroken, crate-trained and have all the makings of a great dog. I might be nervous at first before I settle in. Going slow and steady is important for me like most dogs. I need to know that I am safe and sound. My story hasn't been all fun and games but these last few months, I have worked on getting completely fixed up (thanks to my beyond words amazing foster family). I had eye surgery so my cataracts is resolved! I also have my diabetes under control and managed. I am feeling GREAT; I act like a normal dog and have a very positive

Story
My name is Flatiron. It is. Really. I didn't choose it but I can tell you what. You will remember it, won't you? You might not remember "Daisy," "Buddy," "Max" or "Duke" but you will remember my name! I appreciate my name might never be duplicated! That being said, my name is awesome and so am I. I am about 7 years old but you wouldn't know it. Technically I am a mature adult but I can bounce around like a young lad! I am just under 50 lbs and we think I am a mix of maybe Cattle Dog, maybe Collie, maybe Aussie, maybe Chow? I am good with cats and dogs and I love to run around, play fetch, tug and interact with all of them. I also live with children under 7 and I am great with them too. I am housebroken and crate trained. I do need a little leash work and how to be more comfortable while walking on that thing, but I will learn. I would enjoy a nice family, maybe another doggie companion and a fenced in yard! Here is a link to the application: https://www.zivadogrescue.org/adoptable-dogs

Story
My name is Millie! I am about 6 to 7 years old and 14 lbs; with my big ears, I appear to be a Rat Terrier mix among a few other things. My foster mom and family say I am a really good little girl. I was found trotting along a country road all by myself. My finder drove up in their car and with a little cajoling, I decided it looked safe... safer than what I was dealing with! I am glad I took the plunge and hopped in because I seemed to have hit the foster jackpot. I am dog and people friendly. I am housebroken. I don't require a crate, but I may ask to sleep in your bed! I am good on leash and I love to go on walks. I can be playful but I really enjoy snuggling up next to her humans. I also love to lounge in the sun when it's available. I will let you know when I want to go out for fresh air and when my outdoor time has ended. I am going to make a great little companion! I have not met kids under 10 yet nor those felines!

Story
My name is Isabella. I am a dignified and mature lady. I have found myself in need of a home after living in one for most of my life. My family decided they couldn't care for me anymore so I went to a really nice person who agreed to take me in. My family said they would come back for me... but, they didn't. I am yearning for my next and final place. I am about 8.5 years old and 65 lbs. I am a bit overweight; I should be closer to 55 lbs. With a little exercise and a good diet, I should slim down without a problem. I'm a really loving girl who is independent, keep to myself and spend my day lounging and watching. My future life would include nice, loving and dedicated people. I was attacked by a couple of dogs by absolutely no fault of my own. Even so, I can co-exist and live with them but Ziva Dog Rescue would really like to see me be an only so I can get pampered and spoiled. I really deserve it. I can walk on a leash (which would be good for me so I can shed a couple). A fenced in yard would be great but more importantly are my humans of course. I am housebroken and I don't need a crate. If you are looking for a loving and low maintenance companion, I am your girl. Here is a link to the application: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ZIVA/Dog

Story
My name is Dusty! I am 6 to 7 years old and 30 lbs. I am a mature adult that is easy to have around! I am low maintenance, friendly and really enjoying the comforts of a real home. I was found wandering around a college campus in Texas. Prior to that, someone told the rescue I was kept outside and never really got to experience the joys of heat, A/C, a dog bed, safety from animals outside and just some peace and quiet. Since coming here, I have soaked it all up. I am so appreciative of my cushy surroundings that I spend a lot of my day hanging out on my amazing bed, snoozing, looking out the window, sitting next to my humans, asking for pets, grazing on my food and just basking in the comforts of the indoor life. I enjoy short strolls and bird watching. I have no desire to venture far from my new found haven. When I am in "hunting mode," I don't even pull, I just hang out and stare :). I am also housebroken and while I am fine in a crate, I really don't need it! I am dog friendly but I don't need them either. I would be great as an only and probably prefer it now that I have had it. It would be super fun to have my own space and people after all I have endured. I have been around younger kids with no issue but we think older kids would be a great match. I don't need chaos! We aren't sure on cats but I am pretty chill... PS - I have an impressive side eye! I am located in NJ. Here is a link to t

Story
My name is Luna! I am a stunning Border Collie/Terrier mix. I am about 50 lbs and 15 months old. I am full of fun and love. I am loyal, playful and active. I am great with other dogs and live with all shapes and sizes. I am housebroken and can walk on a leash. I am great with adults but I prefer older children. I get a little hesitant around the younger ones; just their quick movement at my level makes me a bit nervous. I would love a home with an active and dedicated family or person. I would also enjoy a home with another dog or two! It's no mystery that I am smart, sensitive, and highly trainable. I am a really nice medium size too!
