Story
Meet Matthew 🐾 Matthew is a sweet, adorable 10-month-old puppy looking for a loving new home. We adopted him somewhat naively, not fully understanding how much time, knowledge, and commitment raising a puppy would require. As time went on, we also discovered that my sisters are allergic to his fur, which has made the difficult decision to rehome him. Matthew is a wonderful dog with a loving personality. He’s playful, affectionate, and enjoys being around people. He still needs a little more training, as many young dogs do, but overall he is a cute, lovable puppy with so much potential and will make a great companion for the right family. We care about him deeply and want to find him a home where he will receive all the love, attention, and care he deserves. ❤️🐶 Please reach out if you’re interested in giving Matthew his forever home.

Story
My name is Ellie. I am 2 years old and just under 50 lbs. I am an adorable girl and very petite in person. From what we know about my history, one of my parents was a German Shepherd Dog mix. The other, we aren't so sure but there are snippets of Cattle Dog and Australian Shepherd in my look and behavior. I am in search of a new home. I need a little more than my family can give me right now due to life stuff. I also need a home where I can thrive and my current situation holds me back. I am super smart and well behaved at home. I am crate trained but don't need it. I am housebroken. I have lived with kids but I also don't need the little ones. 10+ is good for me. I live with two other dogs now and for the most part, it's harmonious; one of them can be a bully. However, Ziva really believes I would come out of my shell and bloom as an only dog. I would LOVE to soak up all my own human attention. My mind is active (like a shepherd's mind would be) so a person that can take me on hikes, adventures, do some training (I learn things in 2 seconds) would be fantastic. I know a long list of basic commands and I learned them because I successfully passed and achieved my AKC Canine Good Citizen Certification. I love to go on walks and I don't get to go on as many as I want to right now. My person or family needs to be patient, kind and attentive. I have so much to offer and haven't had a chance to really shine. A fenced in yard would be a plus. I am located in NJ. Here is a link to the application: https://www.zivadogrescue.org/adoptable-dogs

Story
My name is Mercy! I am about 12 to 18 months and 60 lbs. I am full grown but filling out a bit so might put on another 5 or 6 lbs. I am a lovely, gentle, sweet, playful... add more good adjectives... dog. I have been a perfect guest in my foster home. I am housebroken, well behaved and respectful in the house, sleep well through the night (uncrated!) and have greeted all people in my foster family and outside my family with ease. I lounge during the day and love to go on leisurely walks. I love other dogs and could totally live with another nice dog companion or be your only. If I am your only, I would love to have some dog friends! I love entertaining myself with a ball and I love my yard. I am a Pyrenees mix so I would do best with a fenced in yard! Kids are totally fine too. I am located in NJ. If you are interested in me, here is a link to the application: https://www.zivadogrescue.org/adoptable-dogs

Story
My name is Toffee. My foster family lovingly renamed me "Lola" which I love too! I'm telling you, I am just as sweet as Toffee! My sister, Sprinkles, is also a part of the rescue looking for a home and we are two amazing pups. But, let's concentrate on me! I am a 30 lb, 4.5 month old lab/pointer mix. I could also have some hound in those ears! I am amazingly adaptable. I am housebroken; I am crate-trained and quite the sleeper, my foster mom has to wake me up at 7 AM everyday! I go in for bed with minimal complaint. I live with other dogs, big and small, and love them all. I am respectful to the senior dog in the group too. I am great with all humans - I have met men, women and kids. I am not jumpy; I am respectful and overall, my foster family thinks I have a very calm nature. I am not vocal. I love the car and eager to go for walks around and explore! My life needs could be met in so many ways. My new home could exemplify a large and busy family; or, a single person who would show me lots of attention and fun experiences; I could live with another dog or two and we think a cat could work too; or, I could live as your one and only cherished girl! I am located in New Jersey and would love to meet you. I am yet another very special rescue pup! Here is a link to the application: https://www.zivadogrescue.org/adoptable-dogs

Story
This handsome boy is Finn! He is 4.5 months old and weighs about 25 lbs. Finn is a shy guy - he needs a few to warm up to new people, but once he gets over his shyness he is a LOVE BUG! Finn is almost 100% housebroken and crate trained! He sleeps great in his crate at night. He LOVES other dogs and lives for playing and tumbling in the yard (canine sibling & fence gives you bonus points) This boy is super affectionate (once he has his minutes to warm up) and would be good with school aged kids! He gets very excited to see his people and sometimes might jump up (we wouldn't want him to knock a little one over accidentally). Finn is pretty good on a leash and will only get better if given a little practice time. He is just a baby, so be ready for all things puppy! He's had a good start at his basic manners and will need additional support in his new home as he grows into the best dog ever! The jury is still out on cats - none have crossed his path yet! Think Finn would be a good fit for your family? Here is a link to his application: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ZIVA/Dog

Story
My name is Sprinkles! I am an ADORABLE lab mix. I am 4.5 months and 30 lbs. I will be a nice sized girl, about 60 to 65 lbs full grown we surmise. My fun and cute name is totally fitting for me. I love life and ready for an amazing family. I am great with other dogs. I love them all and think they should all play with me. I am fine with cats but will be interested in befriending them too. I am great with all people - kids included! I would love a yard to romp around in, a family to take me to all the fun places - kids sporting events, outdoor bbqs, doggie playdates and maybe even to a body of water to practice my swimming skills. We are pretty sure I would love the water. I am working on my housebreaking and all of that puppy stuff. I am located in NJ and would love to meet you!
