Story
My name is Hope. I am an 8 lb, 10 month old Chihuahua mix. As you can see (even from these pictures) I had a rough start. When I was picked up, I was suffering from a severe case of mange. I was uncomfortable, tender, itchy and I was yearning for relief. Wonderful people came to my aid and started fixing me! 6 weeks later, I am feeling and looking more like myself. These pictures are current. My hair is coming in nicely and in just a matter of a couple of weeks, I will be fully covered. I am certainly feeling like myself (a fun, social, playful young lady). I am finally taking applications. I am a catch. I am great with other dogs but my love is for my people. I would do well as an only so I don't have to have any competition for attention, pets and my favorite, laps. However, a nice playmate would be okay too! I am pad trained and can learn the crate as needed. Right now, I am safe in a gated off area when my humans are out. I would love to go on little walks and accompany you to as many places as you can take me. (The list should be long, I am pretty small.). I have not been around young children quite yet.

Story
Hi, my name is Rambo! I’m 12-weeks-old, weigh about 13lbs (I’ll probably be in the 35 to 45 lb range fully grown) and I’m so excited to start my new life with you! I’m an enthusiastic puppy who loves to play, and I’m very motivated by food. I live with other dogs, cats, and even a small human - I’m great with everyone! I really like to snuggle and receive affection. Oh, and P.S. I get along with those little feathered things in the yard, too. They're pretty cool! In my foster home, I’ve been learning a lot of those “good doggy” skills. I’m housetrained, like to go for car rides, used to walking on a leash, and I know how to chill out and relax when I’m left home alone. Do I sound like the ideal companion for you? Submit an application, and the humans will be in touch! https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ZIVA/Dog

Story
My name is Snoopy. I am a stunning dude. My foster family calls me "Snoop" for short. I am about 2.5 years old and 55 lbs. I am a German Shorthaired Pointer mix. I am just as friendly as I am beautiful. I love my canine friends but love my humans just as much. I could easily be the only dog in the home and have canine dates outside. I love people - big and small. I am jovial and joyful so little ones could be knocked over. Cats are cool too but they need to be savvy because I might want to play and get to know them! I spent 4 months in a southern shelter where I was dumped. I was always friendly and excited to see anyone that gave me attention in those walls. This has carried over to my foster homes. I am so thankful to get love and attention and food! I also LOVE toys. My favorite game ever is tug! My favorite human is 10 years old and she plays with me a lot! I am a housebroken, crate-trained, playful, active and loyal young man who would love to find his family. I am located in NJ!

Story
My name is Grizzly! If you do NOT to laugh, giggle and be provided with tons of entertainment, please move on to the next puppy. I am a 3.5 month old, 14 lb mix of endless smiles. We think I’m a Beagle mix, with Lab and Jack Russell Terrier likely rounding out my family tree. I should be about 30 to 35 lbs full grown. I love other dogs and follow my older canine friends around when they go outside or check things out. I am very playful so if I have a dog in my home, I would be oh so happy if they would play with me! I am a fan of all the humans in my house, even the 6 year old. I can be a little hesitant at first with new people but 100% friendly. You have to remember, I am just starting my journey of socialization. I am such a character I will bounce to and fro while I get to know you. I love toys and games! Tug, fetch (or the idea of fetch), squeaky toys, chew toys... they make me happy! I want to be part of all the human fun too. I can see myself going on outings, nice long walks, doggie playdates, kids sports games and the like. I need to learn a few manners (like all puppies do). I am crate-trained and sleep all the way through the night. I am located in NJ and I am super soft!

Story
My name is Sparkle. It's a suitable name for me! I am about 12 months old and 40ish lbs. I am a Cattle Dog Mix. I could have a little Shepherd down the line or Husky (no l am not a singer!). I am a well-rounded, active and incredibly affectionate girl. My favorite place is close to my humans so in that regard, I am a little bit of a velcro dog. I am great with other dogs and enjoy their company. I am respectful of the older dog and playful with the younger dog. I could play for long time if the other dog is up for it. I am a master of the dog park and haven't met a dog I didn't like. I have been around kids of all ages, even those young ones and I feel comfortable around all of them. I enjoy going on walks and always ready to join my humans for a ride in the car. I am able to play independently too when needed. I am still young so some basic rules need to be instilled when I get to my new home. I need a little leash work but my response to correction is really pretty good! I would love an active family to take me to fun places where I can share my amazing qualities with many friends. A spot on the couch is a requirement too! I am located in NJ. (PS - a couple of these pictures are from the fun time at Pet Palooza in NJ!) Here is a link to the application: https://www.zivadogrescue.org/adoptable-dogs

Story
My name is Zoey! I am 3 years old, 50 lbs and an Australian Shepherd - both of my parents were Australian Shepherds. So, I am the full boat. I am a loyal and loving soul. Unfortunately, due to circumstances totally out of my control, I am in need of a home. I am housebroken, trustworthy and have good house manners. I am good with other dogs and could live with a dog friend. I could also live as your only girl! I am intelligent, active, love to go on car rides and seeking a human or humans to take me on adventures, walks and help me reach my potential as an Aussie. I am good on leash and very attentive to my humans once I bond! Not surprisingly, I do have some herding tendencies and have not met kids, so kids 10+ please. Unsure on cats.
