Story
Meet Eve! Eve is a sweet little girl we believe is a Pomeranian–Chihuahua mix, around 5 years old and weighing about 18 lbs. She was found as a stray in Kentucky, but you’d never know it—this girl is full of love and gratitude. Eve has a gentle, affectionate personality and enjoys being around people of all ages. She does great with kids, gets along well with other dogs, and is already house trained, making her an easy addition to any home. Eve will be spayed prior to her arrival in New Jersey on January 11. She’s happiest curled up nearby, soaking in companionship and giving quiet affection in return. If you’re looking for a loving, well-mannered companion with a soft heart, Eve could be your perfect match.

Story
Hi there, I’m Hickory—and I’m just as sweet and lovable as I sound! I’m a 4-month-old Anatolian Shepherd mix weighing about 19 pounds right now, but I’ll likely grow to be around 60–75 pounds when I’m full grown. I’ve had my basic puppy shots, but my future family will need to keep me on track with my vaccine schedule and get me spayed when I’m old enough. Anatolian Shepherds are known for being loyal, gentle, and super smart—and I’m already showing those traits in my own playful puppy way. I love to explore, sniff around, and soak up all the attention I can get. After a busy day of play, I’m happiest curling up close for some snuggles. I’m curious, affectionate, and oh-so-ready to find a family to love me forever. If you think I could be the perfect new addition to your family, please apply to adopt me at https://peace4paws.org/adoption-application from your laptop or computer. I can’t wait to meet you and show you just how sweet life can be with Hickory by your side!If you have specific adoption or foster questions, please email: judy.atchison@yahoo.com THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN RESCUING A DOG!

Story
Meet Jennings, a handsome red-and-white beagle mix with a sweet, innocent spirit. At just 4 months old and 29 pounds, he’s still such a little guy—curious about everything, eager to be loved, and ready to discover what a real forever home feels like. Jennings is coming to us from Kentucky, hoping his journey leads him straight into the arms of someone who adores him. He’s up to date on his vaccines, but his future family will need to continue his age-appropriate shots and have him neutered when he’s old enough. Jennings has that classic beagle charm—gentle, loving, and always looking to you for reassurance and affection. With guidance, patience, and a cozy place to grow, he’ll blossom into a devoted companion. If you’re ready to give Jennings the home and heart he deserves, apply for adoption today at https://peace4paws.org/adoption-application from your laptop or computer.If you have specific adoption or foster questions, please email: judy.atchison@yahoo.com THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN RESCUING A DOG!
