Husky puppies and dogs in Closter, New Jersey

Leo is a 2-3 year old, 57 pound, husky mix.  He  is a fairly calm boy...though he will have the occasional puppy burst of energy.  Leo's will sit when you ask him to, and will gladly be your co-pilot when driving - he loves car rides and will jump right in the back seat and chill out for the trip.  He is friendly with people and dogs. Personality: friendly, affectionate, fairly calm, good in car Good with: people, and dogs.  No cats for Leo. Training: knows the command for 'sit' Estimated age: approximately 2-3 years old Weight: 57 pounds Medical: vetted, up to date on vaccinations, neutered, and microchipped Location: Currently located with a foster in Texas, but if adopted, will come to the NJ area on our next monthly transport.  âBackground: Like so many dogs, Leo's story is a sad one.  Leo spent the beginning of his life with a caring and loving owner who regularly took him to the vet and kept him inside (which is not typical for dogs in the south).  Unfortunately, Leo's owner had to move into a senior residence, so he entrusted a friend to care for his beloved dog.   Long story short, that "friend" kept Leo chained up outside without food and water.  He was so skinny when he was rescued .  He was brought to a kill shelter with a 3 day deadline for euthanasia.  Luckily we were able to pulled him out in the nick of time.  Once we had him seen by a vet we discovered that he was heartworm positive.  We paid for his treatments and are happy to announce that he is now heartworm free and he is a very happy and healthy boy!  He loves meeting new people and spreading joy like only a good boy like Leo can do!   We really want to find Leo a loving, stable home.  He must have been so confused, going from the love and safety of his original owner to being tied up and ignored outside.

🩵 Meet Kodiak — A Beautiful Blue-Eyed Boy Looking for a Forever Home! 🩵 Approximately 5 years old | 50-ish lbs | Siberian Husky | Cat-Friendly | Dog-Friendly | House & Crate Trained Kodiak’s story is one of heartbreak, loyalty, and hope. 💔🐾 When his family moved away, they left Kodiak and his brother behind at an abandoned house, as if they meant nothing. But these two loyal boys didn’t give up on their people. For months, they waited in the same place, hoping the people they loved would come back for them. Sadly, they never did. Thankfully, a kind neighbor provided food and water until another concerned neighbor contacted animal control. Before long, Kodiak and his brother found themselves in the shelter system, facing a heartbreaking fate that far too many big dogs face. They were placed on the euthanasia list. But we saw them. We knew their lives mattered. And we went and got them out! ❤️ After 2.5 months in foster care, Kodiak is finally ready for the chapter he has always deserved: a family who will love him forever and never leave him behind again. 🩵 The good stuff about Kodiak! Where do we even begin? This boy is the total package! ✨ House-trained AND crate-trained! Woohoo! 🐱 Cat-friendly! Kodiak has been cat-tested and isn't bothered by cats at all. He can happily share his home with feline friends. 🐶 Dog-friendly! He absolutely loves other dogs and would be thrilled to have a canine buddy to play with. A friend isn't a requirement, though! If he's your only dog, regular opportunities for socialization, doggy daycare, or suitable dog-park visits can help him enjoy time with his furry friends. 👧 Great with children! Kodiak is a sweet, gentle, fun-loving boy who would make a wonderful addition to a family. 🚗 The BEST road-trip buddy! Kodiak LOVES car rides! He sits back, watches the world go by through the window, and eventually settles down for a nap like the perfect little passenger he is. 💙 Professional cuddler and certified lap dog! Now, don't let his 50-ish pounds fool you. Kodiak has absolutely no idea that he's a big boy. If you're lying on the couch, there's a very good chance he'll climb right up and lie ON TOP OF YOU. Apparently, he believes you're the couch and he's the lap dog! 😂 🐾 Equal parts zoomies and snuggles! Kodiak loves getting outside to run, play, and let those famous husky zoomies loose! He enjoys having fun with his doggy buddies and burning off some energy. But once playtime is over? He's ready for the good life: air-conditioning, a comfy spot on the couch, affection, and cuddles with his favorite humans. He loves being petted and brushed by his foster parents and thrives on that special connection with his people. He's playful without losing his gentle nature, affectionate without reservation, and just an all-around wonderful boy. And can we talk about his LOOKS?! 😍 Kodiak is absolutely gorgeous, with a stunning mix of black, white, cream, and beautiful reddish-brown tones. His striking blue eyes, framed by that gorgeous black eyeliner, are impossible to miss. He's the kind of dog who turns heads wherever he goes, and people can't help but stop and admire him! But underneath all that beauty is an even more beautiful soul. ❤️ 🏡 Kodiak's dream home Kodiak would love a home where he can be part of the family and receive plenty of love, attention, and affection. Another friendly dog to play with would be a wonderful bonus, but it's not essential. His ideal family will enjoy giving him opportunities to play, explore, and stretch his legs, while also appreciating his softer side. He wants to be included in your adventures, ride along in the car, hang out on the couch, and soak up all the love you've got to give. One important note about his health: Our veterinarian suspects Kodiak may be in the early stages of arthritis and has recommended periodic pain-relief injections to help keep him comfortable. He currently shows no obvious signs of pain and doesn't have an obviously painful gait, but we want to be proactive about his comfort and quality of life. His future family should be prepared to discuss his ongoing care with their veterinarian. 💔 He's already been let down once. Let's make sure it never happens again. Kodiak spent months waiting for people who never returned. He doesn't need a perfect family, a perfect house, or a perfect life. He just needs someone who will choose him, love him, and keep choosing him every single day. Someone who understands that behind those beautiful blue eyes is a loyal boy who deserves to feel safe. Someone who will welcome his zoomies, tolerate his questionable understanding of personal space, and make room for a 50-pound lap dog on the couch. 😂💙 Kodiak has so much love left to give. All he needs now is a place to call home and a family to call his own. Could you be the one Kodiak has been waiting for? 🩵🐾 Please consider opening your heart and home to this beautiful boy. Let's find Kodiak the forever family he has always deserved!

While Kodiak is heart worm positive, he has completed 30 days of doxycycline (antibiotic), Benadryl injection, and is currently on slow kill treatment which is pro-heart 6 (6-month heart worm injection). You will NEED to keep him on monthly heart worm prevention (just like any other dog) for the rest of his life. He can be re-tested every year.

🩵🐺 MEET ECHO — THE FLUFFY LITTLE BUNNY-HOPPING HUSKY WHO JUST WANTS TO BE LOVED! 🐺🩵 2.5 Years Old | Male | 40 lbs | Beautiful Fluffy Husky 💕 Sweet. Loving. Playful. Affectionate. And absolutely overflowing with love for everyone he meets! Meet Echo, a gorgeous fluffy Husky with the sweetest soul and the cutest little quirk you can imagine. When this boy gets excited, he doesn't just wag his tail… he HOPS like a little bunny rabbit! 🐰💙 He bounces around, spins in circles, and practically bursts with happiness when he gets to see his favorite people or enjoy playtime. And the best part? Echo loves just about EVERYONE! But behind that beautiful fluffy coat and adorable personality is a story of survival that will touch your heart. 💔 FROM SKIN AND BONES TO A HEART FULL OF LOVE Echo was found wandering the streets of Juárez, Mexico, in absolutely heartbreaking condition. He was severely emaciated, nothing but skin and bones, and had lost almost all the hair on his body. Only a little hair remained on his head. Somehow, this beautiful boy had survived. Echo spent the next year and a half with another rescue in Juárez, waiting for his chance at a better life. In October 2026, our rescue took him into our care, giving him another step toward the loving future he deserves. After everything he has been through, you might expect a dog who is afraid of the world. But Echo? He wants to be everyone's FRIEND! He loves people. He loves other dogs. He loves attention, affection, playtime, and being part of whatever is happening around him. This boy hasn't given up on love. In fact, he seems to have an endless supply of it. ❤️ 🐾 LET'S TALK ABOUT ECHO! 🥰 A TOTAL PEOPLE LOVER If you want a dog who makes you feel like the most special person in the world, Echo might be your guy! He loves being petted, getting attention, playing with his humans, and giving sweet kisses. He'll happily come right up to you to ask for affection. And if there's a choice between hanging out with a human or playing with another dog? Well, Echo might just choose his human! He adores his canine friends, but people hold a very special place in his heart. 🐕 FRIENDS? HE WANTS THEM ALL! Echo is very friendly with other dogs and loves to play, run, and socialize with his furry friends. A home with another playful dog could be wonderful for him, although his love for humans means he doesn't want to miss out on family attention either. 👧 A FAMILY DOG Echo loves people and kids, making him a lovely candidate for a family home. As with any dog, children should be taught to interact with him respectfully and be supervised around him. 🎾 PLAYFUL WITH A SWEET, SNUGGLY SIDE Echo loves the outdoors, toys, running around, and having fun with his friends. He enjoys his play sessions, but he also knows how to settle down afterward. Once he's had his fun, he sleeps beautifully in his kennel. He is crate-trained, keeps his kennel wonderfully clean, and is a very tidy boy! His house training is still a work in progress, so he'll need a patient family willing to continue helping him learn his new routine. 🚗 THE PERFECT LITTLE TRAVEL COMPANION Need a co-pilot? Echo LOVES car rides! He settles right in and falls asleep like a little baby. Whether you're heading out for an adventure or taking a quick trip, this handsome boy is happy to come along. 🛏️ HIS DREAM BED? YOURS! Echo has a real appreciation for the finer things in life: soft blankets, comfy beds, cozy places to sleep, and being close to his humans. Would he love to sleep in your bed at night? Absolutely! Or give him something super soft and comfortable, and he'll be one happy boy. 🐰 THE FAMOUS ECHO BUNNY HOP! This is one of his most adorable features! When Echo gets excited, he starts hopping around like a little bunny rabbit. Sometimes he turns in circles, bouncing with pure happiness because he gets to see people, play, and enjoy life. It's impossible not to smile when he does it! He's a little bundle of fluff, affection, and joy. He doesn't just enter a room… he brings his own happiness with him. 💙 🏡 WHAT KIND OF HOME WOULD MAKE ECHO HAPPY? Echo would love a family who will include him in everyday life, shower him with affection, and give him opportunities to play and explore. His ideal home could include: A loving family who enjoys cuddles, kisses, and plenty of petting. Children who understand how to be gentle and respectful with dogs. Other friendly dogs to play and socialize with. Outdoor adventures, toys, and regular playtime. A soft, cozy bed where he can curl up after a busy day. A patient family who will help him continue learning his house-training routine. Most of all, Echo wants to belong. He wants to be near his people, share in their lives, and know that he is finally home. ❤️ ECHO'S NEXT CHAPTER NEEDS YOU Imagine this beautiful boy bouncing toward you with his adorable bunny hops, covering you in kisses, rolling onto his back for belly rubs, and curling up happily on his soft bed after a day filled with fun. Imagine coming home to a dog who is genuinely thrilled to see you. A dog who wants to be your friend, your companion, your little shadow, and your snuggle buddy. That is Echo. He survived the streets in terrible condition. He spent a year and a half waiting in rescue. Now, this sweet, fluffy boy deserves a family who will love him for the rest of his life. He doesn't ask for much. Just kindness, companionship, comfort, playtime, and someone to love. Echo has so much love to give. All he needs now is someone to give his heart to. 💕 🐾 PLEASE SHARE ECHO'S STORY! Somewhere out there is a family who needs this sweet, bunny-hopping boy as much as he needs them. Let's help Echo find his forever home and show him that his hardest days are behind him. Adopt Echo. Get the kisses. Enjoy the bunny hops. And gain a best friend for life. 🩵🐺🏡 PLEASE READ ALL INFORMATION BELOW IF INTERESTED IN ADOPTING: The next step to adopt is to fill out an application on our website at: www.pawsitive-Impact-animal-rescue.org Echo is neutered, heart worm negative, current on age-appropriate vaccinations, current on flea/tick and heart worm prevention, microchipped, current on de-wormer, and will receive a clean bill of health from a licensed veterinarian prior to transport.

✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to U.S. and Canada💟 💙 Name: Dahee 💙 Gender: Female 💙 Age: Estimated 9 months old (Born in February 2026) 💙 Weight: 16 kg / 35.27 lb 💙 Dahee's News Account: @heo.yu98 1️⃣ Health Condition * Spayed. * Microchipped. 2️⃣ Rescue Story * The five siblings born to #AdogsDada were separated from their mother shortly after birth at the shelter, and were left to endure day after day tied to heavy iron chains. When Adogs revisited the shelter, all five puppies had developed skin conditions that required immediate medical attention. Unable to leave them behind in such a harsh environment, Adogs stepped in to rescue the entire litter. 3️⃣ Basic Information ❗️As a puppy, she may need training in areas such as separation anxiety, potty habits, teething/mouthing, whining, disorderly behaviors, howling, or barking. ❗It is difficult to predict her future shedding level or adult size because her father is unknown. ❗Puppies grow at an incredibly rapid rate until about 10 months of age. Therefore, her current appearance in person may differ slightly from her earlier puppy photos. * With People: Can be a bit hesitant at first and tends to keep her distance from strangers. However, if approached slowly to let her sniff and be given gentle pets, she opens her heart very quickly. Once she is familiar with someone, she proactively approaches them to display her sweet, lovable charms. * With Dogs: Coexists beautifully with her foster mate, frequently engaging in cheerful, playful antics and puppy games. Walks up to new dog friends, wagging her tail to say hello. * With Cats: Has not met a cat yet. * Separation Anxiety: Whines or barks slightly when the foster mate goes out, but calms down quickly in 5 minutes or so. * Potty Training: Does well with both indoor and outdoor potty. Pees a lot and sometimes it overflows off the potty pad. * Hygiene: While she is slightly fearful of baths and the drying room, she cooperates and follows direction well. Is not a fan of brushing but patiently endures it. Handles nail trims quite well. * Walks: Absolutely loves going for walks and is generally very good on them. Sometimes suddenly darts forward or stops, but is improving a lot. * Car Sickness: Travels well in vehicles without displaying any signs of motion sickness. * As she is in her teething phase, she previously chewed on hands or electrical cords; however, she is incredibly smart and quick to learn—after being corrected, she stopped the behavior and follows boundaries beautifully. * Barks once or twice cautiously when the door bell rings. * Is a slightly sensitive and cautious soul, but is smart and forms a profoundly deep attachment to people. Genuinely loves being near humans, often approaching to beg for affection or whining softly to be cuddled. While she is deeply affectionate, she is also balanced enough to spend her independent time peacefully. Feels fearful of loud noises like vacuum cleaners.

My dog is 9 years old, almost 10, and is a very friendly, loving, and gentle dog. He gets along very well with children and other dogs. He is fully house-trained and used to living in a home. I am looking for a loving home where he will feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. He is a sweet companion who deserves a family that will give him lots of love and attention.

Luke!!! Luke Duke came into the A.M.O.R. rescue while still in the womb of his Siberian Husky momma! His momma was an owner surrender in another rescue and was adopted. But then it was realized that momma was pregnant. And was two weeks away from giving birth. Momma's adopter patiently waited for 9weeks until the babies were ready and weaned from momma. Luke is super cute and very cuddly and so sweet and very goofy.....EVERYTHING you love in a puppy! His favorite hobby is hanging out and being CHILL. HE LOVES to be PETTED!!! He is also learning the word NO. He understands that some things are a NO NO such as wanting to jump on my legs. He wants to please so much; so that makes him a VERY FAST LEARNER to no jumping on legs. Luke also LOVES to just hang out in the backyard. He definitely doesn't mind having some "ME" time there all by himself. At times, we literally have to go and leash him and walk him inside! He just nonchalantly walks right by our side and comes inside even though he didn't want to! He is also learning all about naps and being kenneled and potty training. He is learning that there is a schedule to the day. Wake up, and go pee and poo outside at 8:30am. Then it is play time. Then eat some breakfast kibble. Then we poop again. Then it is more play time. Back inside for a nap by 10am. Then it is outside again from 1-3pm for a pee/poo/play. A small snack at that time is had. And back in kennel for another nap at 3pm. Up and outside again at 6-8pm for pee/poo/play. Kibble Dinner is at 6:30pm. Lots of hard puppy playing happens from 6-8:30pm. The last nap of day happens from 8:30-10pm. And then the last pee/poo/play break happens from 10-11pm. Bedtime is by 11pm. Luke sleeps the whole night through and no longer makes a mess in his kennel. If he ever needs to potty while in his kennel, he is quick to whine and bark a bit to let us know that he has to potty and needs out SOOOOON!!! He is a very SMART boy to know that we don't pee/poo where we sleep! But, as a puppy, he will still need training in this aspect for the first year of his life. And even though Luke does VERY WELL on leash when being brought outside to his kennel inside, he will still need his family to work with on being leash trained on longer walks. Luke is certainly ready to be in his own home. Are you ready for the smart and cute as a button Luke Duke? All of Luke's vetting has been done by my personal dogs' vet. The following is a list of what has been done for him... NEUTERED All 4 - DA2PP shots (Distemper, Adenovirus Type 2 (Hepatitis), Parvo, and Parainfluenza) Bordatella shot Bordatella booster shot - 6months Rabies shot Dewormed Tested, Treated (if needed), and retested for giardia and coccidia Heartworm Negative Iverhart heartworm preventative Simparica fleas and ticks preventative Chipped There are two categories of vaccines: “core” vaccines that are recommended for all pets, and “non-core vaccines” which may be recommended by your vet based on lifestyle and exposure risk. The core vaccine for dogs is the Rabies vaccine, which is required by law. The second core vaccine for dogs is often referred to as the DA2PP or DHPP vaccine. This stands for “Distemper, Adenovirus Type 2 (Hepatitis), Parvo, and Parainfluenza”, meaning that this vaccine protects against FOUR different diseases. It is especially important for puppies to begin a series of DA2PP vaccines at six to eight weeks of age, as natural immunity obtained from the mother decreases and puppies become very susceptible to potentially life-threatening diseases such as Canine Parvovirus (Parvo). Parvo is transmitted through feces and can remain in the environment for at least one month, and up to a year if the conditions are right. This means that puppies do not need to be directly exposed to another dog that has Parvo in order to contract the disease, and caution is advised when choosing where and how to socialize and exercise your pup. We recommend avoiding exposure to unknown dogs or public places until your puppy has finished their vaccine series. BUT, all A.M.O.R. puppies (1 year old and less) have all FOUR shots. They are safe to join you and your family on your outdoor adventures and you can rest at ease. Non-core vaccines for dogs include Bordetella, Influenza, Leptospirosis and Lyme. The Bordetella (aka: Kennel Cough) help to prevent highly-contagious respiratory diseases, and are essential for dogs that may be exposed to other dogs, especially in group settings such as dog parks, daycare, or boarding facilities. All A.M.O.R. dogs and puppies are given a Bordatella vaccine. Bordatella boosters are given every 6 months. https://www.thedrakecenter.com/services/dogs/parasites/deworming-dogs The above link is to provide you information regarding why deworming is so important for all dogs of all ages (and for their families). All A.M.O.R.s are dewormed upon entering the rescue and then again 5 days before their health certificate visit (when they have been adopted and ready to travel). This dewormer is issued per our vet. And all pets are tested, treated (if needed), and retested for coccidia and giardia. A.M.O.R. provides you with this information so that you can be aware of the work and love that is given to each pet. Each puppy has visited the vet AT LEAST 5 times during their stay with us. They have seen the vet 4 times for their shots and will see the vet 1-2 more times prior to transport in order to obtain a health certificate for travel. Adult dogs have seen the vet AT LEAST 3 times. Two visits for their shots and 1-2 visits prior to transport in order to obtain a health certificate. Are you ready to have a wonderful time and to give Luke lots of belly rubs?? All animals receive a health certificate (stating that a licensed veterinarian saw the pet and deemed it healthy for travel, but is not a promise of perfect health). Please email for an A.M.O.R. application in order to be considered. Please note: this pet is located out of state.
