Story

Shultz is a sweet boy with a goofy personality. He is enjoys long walks and playing with other energetic dogs His favorite pass time is playing rope with his caretaker. Shultz barks to alert you that he needs to go to the bathroom. He does not like to be confined in a small kennel. A training collar has been applied successfully to reduce his barking and help with training. He just wants to be loved and be with someone or another dog. He does not bark when he has a back yard area to play in. A big fenced yard would be ideal for him. Shultz still has his puppy playfulness, therefore he will need someone to work with him. Shultz would be a great pet for a family with teenage children that would give him lots of attention. Shultz is very smart and a fast learner. A happy go lucky boy, he is very friendly to dogs and people. If interested, please call at 973-647-2213 or email maryannm864@aol.com.

Story

Shiloh was rescued from a local shelter. She was extremely shy when we pulled her from the shelter and still can be shy when meeting new people or doing new things. She is most comfortable when she knows her surroundings. She is good with calmer, quieter kids and other dogs. She does not tolerate cats. Shiloh loves to cuddle and she's a great kisser! She will do best in a quiet structured environment. Since she doesn't like change, she never has tried to run away! A great dog for someone that works at home and is a couch potato!
