Story
My name is Hutch! I am about 6.5 years old and 55 lbs. I am in a wonderful foster home in CT and I am the full package. I also have eyes that will melt your heart. I love people and I am fabulous with kids of all ages. I am extremely loyal and love to be close but I am not annoying! I am good with other dogs. I live with two dogs in my foster home and I am respectful. I like to play and I enjoy their company! I can easily live as an only dog; I have enough confidence and independence where that won't be a problem. But dog friends are very welcome. I am completely housebroken and trustworthy. No crate needed! I am fine for a few hours if my people need to go out. I walk well on leash and have fun going out and about in social situations. I am medium energy. I love my entertainment and exercise but I am a master at cuddling on the couch and just chilling too. Toys? I am a fan of stuffies and love to carry them around in my mouth. I am a wonderful age with a lot of years ahead. I am a stellar mature boy - who really wants to train a puppy these days?! My fee has been reduced as a result of a very wonderful donor! I am located in CT. Here is the link to the application: https://www.zivadogrescue.org/adoptable-dogs

Story
Meet Finn! Finn is a 5.5 month old lab/collie/staffie mix and weighs about 28 lbs. Finn is naturally a shy guy and a very gentle soul. He likes to check things out first. He warms up rather quickly to his female humans but needs a bit of time to trust those male counterparts. Once he trusts, he is affectionate and extremely loyal. Finn is housebroken and crate trained. He sleeps great in his crate at night. Finn loves other dogs and lives for playing and tumbling in the yard (canine sibling & fence gives you bonus points). He would do well with a dog to follow, give him pointers and play with him. Finn lives with younger kids. He is hesitant but has no animosity towards them or anything in his life. Finn is pretty good on leash and will only get better if given a little practice time. He takes treats gently and is extremely food motivated. Finn has had a good start at learning basic manners and will need support in his new home as he grows into the best dog ever. Finn is looking for a special family that can let his brilliance flourish. Here is a link to his application: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ZIVA/Dog

Story
My name is Tonka. I am 1.5 years old and 60 lbs. I am a Retriever mix with a touch of what could be Spaniel, Pyrenees or Aussie. I am a gentle and kind creature. I am an old soul who falls in love with his people and appreciates every pet and hug I receive. I have not had the luxury of living inside a home for most of my life. I was cared for, fed and loved but the comforts of a couch and climate control were not my everyday. I have discovered the absolute joys of cool hardwood floors, couch cushions, area rugs, and kitchens. The best thing of all is lying next to my humans every chance I get. While my foster mom works, I enjoy being at her feet. I am affectionate while still being independent. I am medium energy. I am great with every dog; puppies and adults. I could live alone or with another kind dog or cat. I am also so good with cats. I am a submissive fellow and if a dog wants to take the lead, that's fine with me. I know basic commands such as sit, paw, off, lay and come. I am housebroken and crate trained but honestly, I am not sure I even need that crate. A person or family would be lucky to have me in their life. I am located in NJ! Here is a link to the application: https://www.zivadogrescue.org/adoptable-dogs

Story
My name is Carla! I am a precious 5.5 month old, 22 lb Spaniel/Lab/Terrier mix. Full grown, I should be about 35 lbs. My foster mom says I am a complete doll in every way. Ziva Dog Rescue actually already placed two of my sisters! They are thriving and I am hoping my forever family is right around the corner. I love attention and affection. I was deprived of all of it when I was just a tiny baby and now, I soak it all in. I am great with other dogs big and small. I am also good with cats! Kids? No problem. I live with two kids under 8. I yearn for a home that will give me plenty of love but also teach me lots of stuff. I am a smart lady and will do just about anything for a treat. I sleep soundly through the night and I am doing a great job learning the rules. I would love a cute little harness when you take me for walks and lots of encouragement so I know what to do. I could live with a single dedicated person or a big family; I am adaptable and open to just about anything. Also- I love the water! I am located in NJ.

Story
At 1 year old, Axle is a fabulous blend of young-dog energy with a gentle, old-soul spirit. He is surely one of the most polite & handsomest guys in town. We think Axle is a Pointer/Lab/Hound mix of sorts. He is about 45 lbs and full grown! Axle is a star pupil. He knows a handful of commands and is a master at giving paw. The best thing? He takes treats ever so gently. He's a polite gentleman through and through. Axle lives with two older dogs and is very respectful. Axle loves to romp and wrestle but knows his boundaries. Axle would be fine with another dog and playmate but could also learn to live as an only dog. His bond with his human will be the most important thing for him and has proven that way in his foster home. Cats? Bring them on... he loves those felines! A fenced-in yard is Axle's happy place. It gives him the security he needs to relax, play, and explore at his own pace. However, he would consider a fenceless yard with a patient person that would dedicate the time with him on leash (he's good at the leash!). Axle rides well in the car too! While Axle is a hesitant guy, in the right hands he will move forward with a confident and trusted leader at his side. He is shy in meeting new people but he will do almost anything for a treat. He is looking for a family that will celebrate his wins big and small and provide a nurturing environment where he can truly blossom. Axle is housebroken, crate-trained and completely respectful of home things! If you have a pocket full of treats (which he will take from you with the utmost care!) and patience to watch an extremely appreciative and loving dog bloom, please reach out and apply here. He is located on the PA/NJ border. You will be rewarded as you watch him grow and thrive! https://www.zivadogrescue.org/adoptable-dogs

Story
My name is Bob! I am 70 lbs and a settled in adult at 5 years old. I am in need of a new home. I am a stunning Chow/Shepherd/Lab mix. If you are looking for a true companion that is easy, trustworthy and ready to go, I am really it. Really! I am a fantastic dog. I am housebroken, free roaming and well-behaved in my home. I love people and I love kids. I have lived with school-aged kids for most of my life and have interacted with younger kids many times too. I really enjoy them. I am good with dogs. I have mostly lived with dogs smaller than myself. I could easily live as an only in my home or with a nice mild mannered companion like myself. I walk well on leash, enjoy the beach and strolling in my neighborhood. I still love to get some exercise but medium energy at my age. I can totally lounge and I am as loyal as they come. We are unsure about cats. I am located in NJ and would love to meet you. Here is a link to the application: https://www.zivadogrescue.org/adoptable-dogs
