Story
PLEASE READ THOROUGHLY BEFORE APPLYING Andre is a French Bulldog, almost a year old. He has beautiful coat markings and his fur is soft. Andre comes from a puppy mill where, up to 9 months old, he was not handled so never learned to trust people. After a couple of months in patient, loving foster homes, he is starting to come out of his shell a little. He is still very skittish and will need a home with a completely, securely fenced yard. He is starting to enjoy sniffing around outside and has not had any accidents as long as taken out appropriately. He is a couch potato most of the time, so he needs to be reminded to go out. He goes up stairs now, but not down. Andre gets along with other dogs and he'd be a great companion for someone who's home a lot. He does fine when left alone but really likes human company once he gets to know you.   Because of his size, children should be 10+ years old. If you are interested in meeting Andre, go to petresqinc.org to fill out an adoption application.    ANDRE WILL ONLY BE ADOPTED TO A HOME WITHIN 1 HOUR OF TENAFLY, NJ. BECAUSE OF HIS BREED PROOF OF PET INSURANCE IS REQUIRED FOR ADOPTION. May 5, 2025, 8:09 am

Tiny, pit bull mix. Sweet, energetic, funny. This 7 month old boy is a joy in a bottle! Great with kids, other dogs big and small, and adults alike. Tiny (not so tiny anymore) would love an active family who spends lots of time outside and can take care of his love for playing and exercise. Tiny has shown great capacity for training, is very treat and praise driven, and would love to fit in with a family who can dedicate time and patience to helping him reach his fullest potential. A cuddler at heart, he is kind and loving towards all family members. Tiny is a perfect addition to those with breed experience who are looking for a forever companion and best friend.  If you are interested in meeting Tiny, go to petresqinc.org to fill out an adoption application.

She been through a lot and is now seeking a loving family who can provide her with the care and attention she deserves. Michelle, with her lovely cream-colored coat, is spayed and up to date on vaccines. She is ready to embark on her new journey with her forever family. While Michelle is almost housebroken, she may still require a little patience and guidance in her new home. She is slowly coming out of her shell and has shown remarkable progress since her rescue. Although she may initially be cautious around new people, she quickly warms up and will become affectionate companion. Michelle will need a home with another dog to continue to learn how to be the best dog she can be. Due to Michelle’s small size, it is essential that she finds a home with older children who can understand and respect their delicate nature. Michelle is eagerly searching for a family who can provide her with a calm and patient environment, allowing her to continue building trust and feeling safe. She deserves a loving home that understands her past and is committed to giving her the love, care, and attention she needs.
