Husky puppies and dogs in River Edge, 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 & YUKON — TWO BEAUTIFUL HUSKY BOYS LOOKING FOR THEIR FOREVER HOMES 🐾 Kodiak and Yukon are 2.5-year-old male Huskies, weighing approximately 50 lbs each. ❤️ And despite everything they have been through, these boys are still incredibly loving, happy and trusting. 💔 Their Story Kodiak and Yukon once had a home. They had a family, warm beds, proper food and people to love. Then their family moved — and simply left them behind. No food. No water. Just two dogs left in the Texas heat. For months, the boys remained at the property while kind neighbors provided them with food and water. But they were losing weight, losing their coats, and were covered in fleas and ticks. Eventually, animal control picked them up and they were taken to a high-kill shelter, where they were given the minimum 72-hour hold before euthanasia. Someone brought them to our attention, and thankfully, we were able to tag them and get them out the day before they were scheduled to die. 🙏❤️ They came into our care in early August and have been flourishing in their South Texas foster homes ever since. Their weight is slowly returning, their beautiful coats are growing back, and they have received the veterinary care they desperately needed. These boys are getting healthier and more handsome every day — and now they're ready for forever. 🐾 IMPORTANT: THEY ARE NOT BONDED Kodiak and Yukon do not need to be adopted together. They are both wonderful dogs who can thrive as the only dog in a home or alongside another compatible dog. ❤️ BOTH BOYS Both Kodiak and Yukon absolutely adore people. They love attention, affection and being petted. They will happily cuddle up beside you and nap for hours. There are cats in their foster home, and both boys can walk calmly past them on leash without showing interest. With proper introductions, supervision and patience, we believe either boy could potentially live happily with cats. Both boys are: 🐾 Great with other dogs 🐾 Leash trained 🐾 Crate trained 🐾 House trained 🐾 Very smart 🐾 Loving and affectionate 🐾 Ready to leave their past behind and become someone's best friend ________________________________________ 🩵 KODIAK Kodiak is the browner-and-whiter brother, although his coat is still growing back — so we're excited to see exactly how handsome his final coloring will be! Kodiak is a CHILL boy. 😍 He enjoys playing, but he's equally happy relaxing in the house and hanging out with his person. If you're sitting on the couch, don't be surprised if Kodiak decides that your lap — or even your entire body — is the perfect place to curl up. 😂❤️ He's incredibly affectionate and loves being close to his humans. Kodiak is crate trained and will paw at the kennel door when he needs to go outside. He's house trained and will go to the door when he needs to potty. And those ice-blue eyes! 🩵 When you look into Kodiak's eyes, you can see how happy he is to finally be safe. He's also a very intelligent boy who learns quickly. His ideal home would be with someone who has time to spend with him, enjoys walks and playtime, and preferably has a fenced yard where he can safely explore. Another dog to play with would be wonderful, but he would also be happy as your one-and-only. Kodiak is active, but he's more laid-back than his brother Yukon. ________________________________________ 🖤 YUKON Yukon is the more black-and-white of the brothers, and this boy is ready for ADVENTURE! 🏔️🐾 Yukon is active, athletic and loves to run and play. He has the cutest zoomies and would make an incredible hiking, running or adventure buddy. But once he's finished burning off that energy, Yukon comes looking for his human so he can get some love and affection. ❤️ He's leash trained and incredibly smart — he learns quickly. Yukon is crate trained and will howl and paw at the kennel door when he needs to go outside. He's house trained and will go to the door and paw at the floor when he needs to potty. His eyes are absolutely gorgeous. He has a slightly mischievous look that makes you think he's plotting something — but he's really just a sweet, happy boy. 😍 Yukon stands out for his intelligence, athleticism and playful personality. His perfect home would be with someone who wants an active companion and has time for walks, runs, adventures and lots of playtime. Another playful dog would be fantastic, whether that's a dog in the home, neighborhood friends or doggy daycare. A securely fenced yard where Yukon can safely do his famous Zoomies would be a huge bonus! ________________________________________ ❄️ THEIR DREAM And if their forever home happens to be somewhere that gets SNOW… Well, that would just be the icing on the cake. ❄️🐺❤️ These boys have already lost the home they knew once. They deserve a family who will never abandon them again. Kodiak and Yukon are ready for their happily ever after. They can be adopted separately or together. If you're interested in adopting one of these beautiful boys, please reach out to learn more about the adoption process and whether Kodiak or Yukon might be the perfect match for your family. 🐾 Kodiak — the chill, cuddly boy 🩵 🐾 Yukon — the adventurous, athletic boy 🖤 Two brothers. Two incredible personalities. Two second chances. ❤️ Yukon and Kodiak are both neutered, 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. Yukon and Kodiak are both heart worm positive and have started their slow-kill heart worm treatment. They have undergone 30 days of doxycycline and each have received their 6-month pro-heart injection (this is a 6-month heart worm prevention injection). The only further care needed is to keep them on their heart worm prevention.

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.
