Story
Meet Snuggles Friday! This sweet girl is a German Shepherd mix. We did a wisdom panel on her and found out she is a German Shepherd, Alaskan Malamute and White Swiss Shepherd! She is just over a year old and about 75 pounds. She’s a surrender from a breeder, so we have pictures of her parents and her date of birth. Snuggles is a happy sweet puppy. She’s perfectly crate and leash trained and will sleep overnight with no accidents! She’s a happy girl that really loves people once she knows you and loves to play. She comes when she’s called and really wants to please. She loves her toys and playing with her friends. She also recently completed a two month training course with Guardian Angels, a training program for rescue dogs in Oklahoma! Interested in becoming a forever home for Snuggles? Fill out our online adoption application: http://www.friendswithfourpaws.org/adoption-form.html This is the first step in our process, and we don't go any further without an application. Find more adoptable pets, news and information on Instagram @friendswithfourpaws or our Facebook page Friends with Four Paws. We put a lot of time and energy into processing our adoptions to find our babies the best fit home for them and you. Please do not submit an application if you are not serious about adopting Snuggles. We are so excited to work with you to find you a new forever friend, and Snuggles the perfect forever home, and appreciate you working with us. For immediate consideration, please attach your application to the initial inquiry to help us expedite the process. Our adoption fee is $525. This includes their spay/neuter surgery, full (age appropriate) vaccinations, microchip insertion and registration, deworming, heartworm testing and prevention, flea and tick prevention and travel expenses. All of our dogs are rescued from local shelters and the general public. Each dog is then placed in a foster home where he/she is kept for quarantine, to ensure if the dog gets sick it can receive proper treatment. We have foster homes in the NJ/NY area waiting to receive their fosters. Once an animal has received an application or there's an adopter interested, we make arrangements for transport. If a dog is already in foster care in NYC/NJ, an adopter will be put in touch with the foster home AFTER an application is being processed. Thank you in advance for your patience with our process and for making adoption YOUR option!

Story
Meet Kuku🩵 On a cold winter night, Danpoong gave birth to 5 puppies at Korean city shelter. She and her pups got severe scabies prompting urgent rescue to Adogs center. Their mother Danpoong took great care of her puppies, and the pups were chubby and healthy. His round eyes and long pointy ears are so lovely! He's such a cute little puppy with an adorable round mouth 😍 * Separation anxiety: None! * Keywords: #gentle, #lovepeople, #timid * Energy level (1~10): Indoors lv.6, outdoors lv 2-3 * Loves people so much, gives kisses to everyone he meets wagging with his tail-copter! 😍 * Very social and gentle 😊 A little fearful but adapts quickly wherever he goes! He can handle meeting one dog by taking time but is a little fearful of dog cafes as of yet. * He has become more active lately! Hops around in familiar places and when visiting new places, he sits calmly next to his guardian or naps. * Rarely barks, he barks only at his own reflection in the mirror or with sudden noise. 😊 * Very well-mannered during walks! Does not pull his leash, waits when the caregiver stops * Already mastered “Sit”, “Shake”, and “Down”. He’s a quick learner😊 * Favorites: stuffed animals, squeaky toys, food, people, sticks

Story
Meet Nunu🩵 He was rescued from dog meat farm where they illegally slaughtered dogs for 14 years. Nunu looks very handsome and has dark eyelines who resembles wolves, and because his eyes look extremely charming, we have named him Nunu(Eun Woo)🥰 (Cha Eun Woo is a very good looking, handsome Korean actor). Nunu has an outgoing, energetic personality who gets along well with both human and other doggy friends and gets praised in any places.🐶 *Separation anxiety: He can whimper when his foster mom and dad leave together, but when they leave separately in 30 seconds to 1 minute apart, he doesn’t whimper and takes a rest. *Potty training: Housebroken 99.9%, pees on pad when he can’t wait. *More interested in people than doggy friends, and more interested in human adults than children! He likes to act cute and be a lovebug to even human strangers.🐕 *Gets along well with puppy friends, likes to play with small sized dogs and can be very sweet to puppies. *Likes to greet people outside but can be shy to visitors coming to his foster’s home and doesn’t go near to visitors. *Meeting men over 50 years old is scary so he growls in a low voice and tries to run away but no nipping. When meeting people outside, he walks good and doesn’t like someone to pet him but still accepts it. *Interested in cats so he approaches them first. If you say “No”, then he comes back. *Likes to go another place after his walking training is done but once his leash gets pulled, then he follows the foster right away. *Will whimper if he wants something, but he gives up quickly and stops making a whimpering sound. If you say “No”, he stops right away. *He doesn’t cause accidents or no indoor marking!😊 💙 Nunu’s foster Instagram : @lovelyari_adogs_eunwo

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. KAI was saved from being shot on the streets of Oman by an amazing organization Muscat Dog Adoption. He along with his7 friends were flown into JFK where they were cleared the CDC and then picked up and transported back to Give a Dog a Home Rescue, in Sebec, Maine on 5 April 2024 KAI is neutered, rabies, core vaccines, monthly preventatives, heartworm and tick disease tested negative and is microchipped. He has an estimated date of birth of 30 January 2010 and at the time of transport weighed around 40 pounds. Mixed breed dogs in Oman are referred to as Omani Wadi Dogs, with most of them being Saluki mixes. KAI was one of the favourites of the rescue in Oman, he had been saved and his foot was all mangled and sadly it was deemed it couldn't be fixed and the only option was amputation. He healed and is doing great and having 3 legs doesn't slow him down. He shares a kennel with his Omani friend "Fliss" and they are constantly wrestling and chasing around the kennel run playing - which is beautiful to see them relaxed and having fun after all they have endured. KAI is a very gentle soul who is happy to chill out, but also play and be goofy. He loves having his neck and ears scratched and will make a great snuggle companion, but of course still needs a fair amount of exercise and lots of fun adventures. When Kai was saved his front leg was mangled that the veterinarians were not able to save and so the decision was made to amputate his leg, and as with all amputee's, this doesn't stop him from having fun and living life. He will need joint supplements to help support the extra work and weight his other leg is enduring. We take a lot of pictures and videos and don't always have the time to post them on the dogs individual webpage and adoption site, so we ask that you go to the rescue       YouTube channel       and       photo albums on our Facebook page       to see a LOT of pictures and videos. We are looking for families that have the lifestyle that the dog needs to lead a healthy, both mentally and physically life, who can afford a GOOD quality food, toys and treats and understand the importance of veterinary wellness checks. KAI is located at the rescue in Sebec Maine and is available for a reduced adoption fee of $550. Interested families are required to complete our application process and once approved schedule an appointment to come to the rescue to meet and take home their new best friend. Our process takes 1-2 days as long as we are able to talk to references, so be prepared to be approved (hopefully) to adopt within a few days of submitting the adoption application. https://giveadogahome-rescue.rescuegroups.org/forms/form?formid=5838 HOUSE TRAINED - All of our dogs are located in the kennel building so we are not able to say if a dog is house-trained, however, they do have access and use the dog door to access their run, play area 24/7. FOOD - We feed a variety of high quality brands and flavors including, chicken, turkey, beef, lamb and fish generally alternated daily. CATS - As the dogs are in the kennels, we are not able to say how they are with cats.
