Story
My name is Max! Don't worry... I am your friend already. I am everyone's friend; at least that's what I think! I am a 12 to 18 month old Boxer. I am around 50 lbs and full grown. I am a typical boxer. I am goofy (that's #1), happy, energetic, jubilant and I wake up excited about life. I love to eat and will do most anything for a treat. I have zero issues with guarding food or toys, even though I like them all so much. I am best friends with every dog I meet... I mean, they are my bestest friends, I guess I may not be theirs but I try! I live with three other dogs and play is the name of the game! I am even good around cats BUT the cats have to be dog savvy and stand their ground. Remember - I am playful so if a cat wants to play chase, I gladly will. I bet you ALL my dog food that I will absolutely love the kids too. I am bouncy though so 8+ would be fantastic. I am crate trained, housebroken and great out in public. My public places so far have consisted of all of the home improvement stores like Home Depot, Lowes and garden nurseries. I am calm and like to observe others doing their thing. I need a little leash work and the right gear to limit my pulling. I absolutely love belly rubs and giving full hugs to my humans. I need a family who will do things with me - take me out, play and even maybe provide a fun canine sibling to romp with! I love the comforts of blankets and couches and human laps.

Story
My name is Ellie. I am 2 years old and just under 50 lbs. I am an adorable girl. 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 can socialize with other dogs but I haven't had a lot of opportunity. I live with two other dogs now and for the most part, it's harmonious. However, Ziva really believes I would come out of my shell and bloom as an only dog. I would LOVE to soak up all that human attention. My mind is active (like a shepherd's mind would be) so a human that can take me on hikes, adventures, do some training (I learn things in 2 seconds) would be fantastic. I need a little leash work. I love to go on walks and I don't get to go on as many as I want to right now. A fenced in yard would be excellent too! I am located in NJ!

Story
My name is Violet. All the people who have met me (and there are plenty) cannot stress enough how gorgeous I am. I am a Blue/Grey/Silver (everyone sees it differently) 3.5 month old, 20 lb pup with greenish eyes. My mom presents as a Weimaraner/Staffordshire mix and I look a lot like her. My siblings look like they have some Aussie or even Lab. Scout is my brother - he is also available! Whatever I am, I turn heads. I also have the personality to match. I LOVE people. I meet everyone with a wagging tail and some licks. If you sit down, I will happily climb in your lap. I naturally trust humans which is different than some other rescue pups who might need a little time. I love kids too - I can be a little jumpy when excited so sturdy kids 6+ is best. I also love dogs. I'm respectful and submissive. I have been around cats with no problem. I am crate trained and sleep soundly through the night. I have been on outings - one to a lacrosse game and soaked up all the attention! I am happy to walk on a leash if it means I can meet fun people and get some treats along the way. I need a family who can dedicate themselves to a little puppy training, keep me active and socialized and show me tons of affection as I get to exposed to all the things that a real life for a dog can provide. I am located in NJ! Here is a link to the application: https://www.zivadogrescue.org/adoptable-dogs

Story
Meet Mochi from the People's Choice Litter! This handsome is just 3 months old and weighs about 18 pounds. He is a Lab/Aussie/Boxer mix and a bundle of love! This boy is up for anything, he has never met a stranger, he will stop in his tracks and run to greet whomever comes in through the door. Mochi is crate trained and sleeps well in his crate at night too! He is working hard on his housebreaking and leash walking. He's learning his house manners pretty quickly too! He is good with kids, dogs and cats - although he wants to play with them too! This happy go lucky pup will make an amazing addition to any family! Think this is the guy for you?

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 love people. I have been around kids too without any issue; they are great so no problem there. 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 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. 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. Don't let my number scare you - who really wants to train a puppy these days?! I am good with kids! Cats might not be the best fit for me. I am located in CT. If you are interested in me, here is a link to the application: https://www.zivadogrescue.org/adoptable-dogs

Story
My name is Scout! I am one of 7 in my beautiful and eclectic litter. My mama is a mix of what we think is Weimaraner and Staffordshire Terrier. My Dad? We aren't sure but my litter seems to appear a bit Australian Shepherd and maybe even Collie! I am about 4 months and about 18 lbs. I am one of the smallest in my litter so we expect that I will range from 40 to 50 lbs. I am a playful, fun and active puppy. I am goofy but also loyal and thoughtful. I am great with other dogs and love to romp and play. I LOVE toys and chew antlers, squeak the squeaky toys and run around free and happy to be in a foster home with lots of love and fun! I sleep through the night and crate well with little complaint. That being said, I am very bouncy and happy when you come home! I am extremely food motivated and would do great with a person who could take advantage of my intelligence and motivation. I am hesitant in the first moments when meeting new people; I am thoughtful and not in your face. Within a few hours of gentle pets and treats, I will be next to you on the couch. I have done puppy yoga with two large groups and I was curious, attentive and had all kinds of attention! I would love a family with a fenced in yard and one that can provide some patience, activity and lots of positive reinforcement as I learn the way of the world! Cats and kids 8+ are fine for me! I am located in NJ! Here is a link to the application: https://www.zivadogrescue.org/adoptable-dogs
