Husky puppies and dogs in Paramus, 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.  ​Background: 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 Zari — The Gentle Blue-Sky Dream of a Husky Who Just Wants to Be Loved! 🩷 Approximately 2 years old | 44 lbs | Female Siberian Husky | Cat-Friendly | Kid-Friendly | Crate-Trained Some dogs spend their lives knowing nothing but love. Other dogs must survive the world before they ever get the chance to experience it. Sweet Zari is one of those dogs. 💔🐾 Zari was found roaming the streets of South Texas near the Mexico border alongside a smaller dog. They were scavenging through trash cans, desperately searching for something to eat. Neighbors grew frustrated with them for knocking over garbage, but these two weren't being bad. They were hungry. They were trying to survive. For months, they were seen wandering the streets. Facebook posts kept appearing, but despite all the attention, nobody seemed willing to step in and help. Then, in early October 2026, a sanctuary was tagged in a post about them. And this time, things were different. ❤️ An amazing team of compassionate people immediately jumped into action. Together, they were able to secure both dogs and get them to the sanctuary, to safety. They were covered in fleas and ticks, skinny, and dehydrated. They had been struggling to survive on the streets for far too long. But once they were safe, everything began to change. With care, food, and kindness, these babies started to thrive. The smaller dog was transferred to another rescue, while Zari remained at a wonderful sanctuary, where we agreed to help her find the forever home she so desperately deserves. And now? This gorgeous girl is ready to find her person. 🩷 🐾 Meet the sweetest girl you'll ever meet! If you're looking for a gentle, loving, easy-going companion, Zari might just be your girl. She has the most wonderful temperament. She's calm, sweet, and simply loves being around people. Zari is a total people pleaser who adores humans, whether they're grown-ups or little ones. Her relaxed, gentle nature could make her a wonderful companion for a family with children of various ages, with the usual supervision and respectful interactions. And the cats? They don't bother her one bit! If anything, Zari seems a little intimidated by them. 😂🐱 She's a lovely option for a home with feline friends, provided introductions are handled thoughtfully. Zari isn't your stereotypical, noisy husky, either. She's a quieter girl who seems much more interested in being close to her humans than announcing her opinions to the entire neighborhood! 🩷 A little playful, a little cuddly, and a whole lot of love Zari has the perfect balance of energy and relaxation. 🐾 She loves to run and play. Give her room to stretch her legs, enjoy herself, and explore, and she'll be one happy girl. 🧸 She's discovering the joy of toys! She's still learning just how fun toys can be, and it's wonderful to watch her experience the little things that every dog deserves to enjoy. 💦 She likes doggy pools! A little splash time is right up her alley, especially when the South Texas heat is doing its thing. ❄️ She's a fan of the air-conditioning. Zari would happily trade that Texas heat for cooler weather and a comfy place to relax. We think she'd love experiencing life as a snow dog! 🦴 She's incredibly gentle when taking treats. This sweet girl knows how to accept a snack politely, and those little moments make her even more endearing. 🚗 She's ready for adventures! Zari has ridden in cars and enjoys the experience, making her a lovely potential companion for road trips, outings, and exploring the world with her family. 🏡 She's crate-trained! She already has a great foundation and would love a cozy bed of her very own where she can curl up and sleep peacefully. After she's had her playtime, Zari is perfectly content to settle down, rest, and enjoy the company of her favorite people. She doesn't need nonstop excitement. She just wants a comfortable life, a little fun, and plenty of affection. 💔 The part that will tug at your heartstrings... Zari doesn't ask for much. She follows you around. She looks up at you, hoping for attention. She wants pets, treats, affection, and that special connection that comes from being someone's dog. And when you see the way she seeks out human companionship, knowing what she's been through, it's hard not to wonder how long she waited for someone to finally care. For months, she survived on the streets, searching for food and trying to get by. Now she's safe, she's thriving, and she's discovering that people can be kind. But what she really needs is a family. A person whose footsteps she can follow around the house. Someone who will reach down to pet her just because. Someone who will give her a soft bed, take her on adventures, and let her know that she never has to search through trash for a meal again. Zari doesn't just want a home. She wants to be somebody's best friend. 🩷 🏡 What would Zari's perfect home look like? We would love to see Zari in a home where her people are around more often than not. She genuinely enjoys human companionship and would flourish with a family that has time to include her in their everyday lives. A secure yard where she can run and play would be wonderful, and another friendly dog could make an excellent companion. A canine friend isn't necessarily a requirement, though; what matters most is that she receives plenty of love, attention, exercise, and companionship. She'd be a lovely match for someone who wants a dog to join them on adventures, but who will also happily spend an afternoon relaxing indoors with a furry friend by their side. Whether it's a family with children, a couple looking for a companion, or someone who simply wants a loyal best buddy, Zari has so much potential to bring happiness into a home. 🩷 From surviving to belonging... Zari has already overcome so much. She went from scavenging for scraps on the streets to being safe, cared for, and given the chance to start over. Now, she deserves the part of her story that every dog should get to experience: a family who loves her, a bed that belongs to her, and a lifetime of never having to wonder where her next meal will come from. She's beautiful, gentle, affectionate, playful, and wonderfully easy-going. She loves people, takes treats with the softest manners, enjoys her little adventures, and is learning that life can be good. You really can't go wrong with a girl like Zari. ❤️ She's ready to stop searching for someone to love her and finally have someone to call her own. Could you be the person she's been waiting for? Please consider giving this gorgeous girl her happily ever after. She has already fought so hard for the chance to live. Now let's find her a home where she can finally thrive. 🐾🩷 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 Zari is spayed, heart worm positive, 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.

🩵 Meet Atlas — From the Streets of Mexico to Your Heart! 🩵 1.5 years old | 55 lbs | Siberian Husky | Two stunning blue eyes Meet Atlas, a handsome blue-eyed boy with a heart as beautiful as his eyes! This sweet, loving Husky has come a long way from his difficult beginnings, and now he’s dreaming of a forever home where he can finally be safe, loved, and part of a family. 🐾 His Story Atlas was living on the streets of Mexico, where local taxi drivers kindly fed him. They liked him and tried to help by giving him food, but no one had stepped up to rescue him. Despite their kindness, Atlas was still not getting enough to eat. He was hungry, tired, and dirty when he was finally taken in at the beginning of October 2026. Now, this gorgeous boy is ready for his next chapter — one filled with love, adventures, cozy moments, and a family who will never let him fend for himself again. ❤️ 🐶 His Personality Atlas is as sweet as they come! He is incredibly loving, friendly, and happiest when he’s around his people. He loves everyone, big and small, and would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a loyal best friend. He absolutely loves other dogs and would be happy sharing his home with canine companions of any size. He has also been introduced to cats and simply ignores them, making him a promising match for a home with feline family members, too! Atlas has the perfect balance of Husky energy. He LOVES to run, play, and explore, but once he’s had his fun, he’s happy to settle down and chill with his people. 🌊 Adventure Buddy Wanted! Looking for a buddy to join you on life's adventures? Atlas might be your guy! He loves playing in water and would be thrilled to splash around at lakes, pools, or rivers. Car rides are another favorite, especially when he can feel the breeze with his head out the window! He would love an active family who enjoys hiking, running, exploring the outdoors, and making memories together. And with those two beautiful blue eyes, he’s sure to turn heads wherever he goes! 🏡 His Ideal Forever Home Atlas would thrive in an active home with a securely fenced yard where he can run, play, and enjoy life. Even better would be a family who wants a companion for hiking, running, and outdoor adventures. A friendly doggy sibling would be a wonderful bonus, although what he really needs most is a family who will include him in their lives and give him the love and security he deserves. He appears to be house-trained and is crate-trained, too! One little thing to know about Atlas: after surviving life on the streets, you might think he would treasure a soft, fluffy bed. And he does appreciate soft things — just not always in the way you’d expect! 😂 He sometimes thinks beds are toys to rip apart and play with, so durable bedding and plenty of appropriate toys will be helpful. As a Husky, Atlas will also benefit from regular exercise, mental stimulation, and a family who understands the breed's active, adventurous nature. 💙 From Streets to Sheets, His Happily Ever After Starts With You! Atlas has already survived so much in his young life. Now it’s his turn to experience the very best parts of being a dog: a full belly, a safe place to sleep, fun adventures, a loving family, and people who will always be there for him. He is a sweet boy with so much love to give and the potential to become someone's most loyal companion. Imagine coming home to that beautiful face, those sparkling blue eyes, and a tail wagging because YOU are his favorite person in the world. Atlas is ready to leave his past behind and start living the life he has always deserved. Could you be the one to give Atlas his happily ever after? 🩵🐾 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 Atlas 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.

🖤🤍 MEET KODA — YOUR GENTLE GIANT, LOYAL SHADOW & BEST FRIEND! 🤍🖤 🐾 4 years old | 45 lbs | Male | Gorgeous husky coat Some dogs want to be your adventure buddy. Others want to be your best friend, your shadow, your cuddle companion… and your personal space invader. 😂❤️ Meet Koda! Koda was rescued at one year old from a neglectful situation and has spent the last three years with a loving family. Unfortunately, due to medical reasons, his family can no longer keep Koda or his brother, Loki. Through no fault of his own, this sweet boy is looking for a new place to call home. And trust us — Koda has SO much love to give! 💙 A LITTLE ABOUT KODA • 🏡 House-trained and crate-trained • 🦮 Walks well on a leash • ⚡ Electric-fence trained • 🚗 Good in the car when secured with a leash — otherwise, he gets so excited to be near his humans that he'll try to climb into the front seat! • 👧 Wonderful with children — gentle, loving, and almost protective of them • 🐕 Loves being around other dogs, especially the ladies! • ❤️ Super friendly, loyal, affectionate, and wonderfully laid-back • ❄️ Loves snow but isn't a fan of water • ☀️ Enjoys stretching out in the midday sunshine • 🧸 Loves little stuffed toys that make grunting sounds and, of course, pig ears! 🐺 A SELF-PROCLAIMED LADIES' MAN Koda enjoys canine company, particularly female dogs. He can be nervous when meeting unfamiliar dogs, but with slow, respectful introductions, he can warm up and show his friendly side. He's a social boy who appreciates a little patience while getting to know new friends. 👨‍👩‍👧 A NATURAL WITH KIDS Koda has a wonderfully gentle nature with children. He's loving, careful, and seems to have an almost protective instinct around them. He could be a fantastic family companion for a home looking for a sweet, affectionate dog to grow alongside their children. ❤️ YOUR SHADOW. YOUR SNUGGLE BUDDY. YOUR BEST FRIEND. Koda has absolutely no understanding of personal space. None. Zero. 😂 Where you go, he wants to go. If you're sitting down, he'll want to be beside you. If you're relaxing, he'll happily settle in close. And if you've been gone for a while? You may receive a classic husky howl to let you know exactly how much you've been missed! This boy wants to be part of your world, every single day. His family has also noticed something particularly sweet: Koda seems especially attentive and gentle around people with additional needs, including individuals who use prosthetics or may need a little extra care when moving around. It's a lovely quality his family has observed during their three years with him. ☀️ A MEDIUM-ACTIVE BOY WITH A SOFT SIDE Koda isn't the kind of dog who needs constant games or endless entertainment. He's a relaxed, easy-going boy who enjoys spending time outdoors, getting his exercise, and then settling down beside his favorite person for a cuddle. He'd love a family who can give him regular exercise and outdoor time, but who also appreciates the simple pleasure of having a loyal companion snoozing beside them. Snowy adventures? Absolutely! A sunny afternoon nap? Even better. Cuddles with his human? The best thing ever. 🥰 😂 A WORD OF WARNING: PROTECT YOUR STEAK! Koda has a talent for counter surfing. That steak you leave on the counter for five seconds? It might not survive two! You'll need to keep food safely out of reach and be prepared for a clever boy who occasionally believes that anything left unattended is an invitation. 🏡 KODA'S DREAM HOME Koda would thrive with: • A loving family who wants a devoted companion • Someone who works from home or isn't away for long periods • A medium-active lifestyle with regular exercise and outdoor time • A securely enclosed yard where he can stretch his legs safely • A family willing to give him time and space to get comfortable with new canine friends • People who enjoy cuddles, companionship, and having a furry shadow following them around He can sleep happily in his crate, but he'd probably be just as content snoozing wherever his humans are! 💌 COULD KODA BE YOUR MISSING PIECE? Koda has already overcome a difficult beginning and spent three years being loved by his family. Now, through circumstances beyond his control, he needs another chance. He's not asking for a perfect home. He wants a person to love, a place to belong, a little sunshine, some tasty treats, and plenty of time by your side. If you're looking for a gentle, affectionate, easy-going best friend who will make you laugh, steal your heart, and possibly your dinner, Koda could be the one. 🖤🤍 Please consider opening your heart and home to Koda.

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.
