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.

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.

We've had Dexter since pretty much birth- my brother owned his mother so we were able to have one of her pups. Recently my son has been sick for long periods of time and we found out he does in fact have dog (& cat) allergies. If we had a bigger house we would just intentionally separate the 2 but with our current living situation that is not possible. He's your typical high energy husky but he is way less vocal and loves to be around the family. He needs lots of attention and loves long walks at any time of the day.

🤍 Meet Apollo — A Handsome Explorer With a Heart of Gold! 🤍 3 years old | 56 lbs | All-white Husky | One brown eye and one half-brown, half-blue eye Just look at this gorgeous boy! 😍 Apollo is an all-white Husky with the most unique, captivating eyes and a personality that will make you fall head over heels. He’s playful, adventurous, affectionate, and always ready to make new friends. But behind that beautiful face is a story that deserves to be told. 🐾 His Story — Forgotten, But Never Giving Up Apollo was found living in a city park along the Texas/Mexico border. He had been there for at least six months, and some people believed he had been surviving there for more than a year. This wasn't some quiet, forgotten corner of town. It was a busy park where families gathered and games were played every weekend. People came and went, yet this poor boy was left to fend for himself, surviving by digging through the garbage people left behind. Can you imagine being so close to people every day and still having no one step up to give you a home? Thankfully, Apollo was finally taken in at the beginning of October 2026. His days of searching for scraps and surviving on his own are behind him. Now, this beautiful boy is ready to find the family who will make sure he is never forgotten again. 🤍 🐶 His Personality — Friendly, Fun, and Full of Life! Apollo is a happy, outgoing boy who loves being around people and other dogs. He has lived in a busy park surrounded by children and families, and he has been friendly with the people he has encountered. He absolutely LOVES other dogs of all sizes and enjoys running, playing, and exploring alongside his furry friends. He has also been cat-tested and simply ignores the cats! Apollo is an explorer at heart. He loves roaming around the property, checking everything out, and making sure he doesn't miss a thing. He has that wonderful Husky curiosity and adventurous spirit that makes every day an opportunity for something new. And when it's time to settle down? This clever boy knows his routine! When told to go into his crate, Apollo happily goes in and lies down. He is crate-trained and travels beautifully in the car, where he simply lies down and falls asleep. 🚗💤 🌊 Water, Wet Noses, and Hilarious Antics! If there's water around, Apollo is ready for fun! He loves getting wet, splashing around, and playing with his doggy friends. But here's where the entertainment begins: once he's thoroughly soaked, he likes to come straight over to his humans and shake himself dry all over them! Apparently, sharing the water is part of the fun. 😂💦 So if you're looking for a companion who will keep you laughing, join you on outdoor adventures, and make sure life is never boring, Apollo might be your perfect match! 🏃 Your Next Hiking and Running Partner! Apollo would thrive with an active family who enjoys getting outdoors. He would love to join you for hikes, runs, long walks, and adventures where he can explore the world by your side. His dream home would include: • A loving, active family who wants to include him in their daily adventures. • A securely fenced, spacious yard where he can stretch his legs and play. • Another friendly dog to share in the fun, as he truly enjoys canine companionship. • Plenty of opportunities for exercise, exploration, playtime, and affection. A home with another dog and a big yard would be his idea of paradise! As a Husky, Apollo will benefit from consistent exercise, mental stimulation, and a family who understands the needs of this energetic breed. 🤍 From Park Life to Family Life — Apollo Deserves His Happy Ending! Apollo has spent far too much of his young life surviving on his own when he should have been enjoying the security and love of a family. Despite everything, he is still a friendly, sweet, playful boy who loves people, adores other dogs, and finds joy in the simplest things. He hasn't lost his adventurous spirit or his desire to be part of a pack. Now it's time for Apollo to discover what it feels like to have a family of his very own — people who will take him on adventures, laugh at his silly water antics, give him a comfortable place to sleep, and love him for the rest of his life. He has the looks, the personality, and the heart. All he needs now is someone to give him a chance. Could Apollo be the missing piece of your family? 🤍🐾 Give this beautiful boy the forever home he's been waiting for. His next adventure should be with YOU!

🩵 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! 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 Kodiak is neutered, 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. 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 LOKI — YOUR ICY-BLUE-EYED ADVENTURE PARTNER! 🩵🤍 🐾 4 years old | 45 lbs | Male | All-white coat with stunning icy-blue eyes Stop scrolling for a second and look at those eyes! 😍❄️ Meet Loki, a handsome, fun-loving, energetic boy who's ready to find his next forever family. He's been with his current family since he was just 8 weeks old, so he's grown up knowing what it means to be part of a home. Unfortunately, due to his owner's medical circumstances, Loki must now find a new family through no fault of his own. He's ready to trade heartbreak for new beginnings, road trips, outdoor adventures, and a lifetime of love! 💙 A LITTLE ABOUT LOKI • 🏡 House-trained and crate-trained • 🌙 Sleeps in his crate at night • 🦮 Walks well on a leash • ⚡ Electric-fence trained • 👨‍👩‍👧 Friendly with people and loves everyone he meets • 🧒 Great with children • 🐕 Loves other dogs and would enjoy having a canine companion • 🩵 Submissive with other dogs and happy to back down rather than make a fuss • 🚗 Loves car rides and would make an amazing road-trip buddy • 🗣️ A chatty boy who always has something to say! 🐾 LET'S GO ON AN ADVENTURE! Loki is an active, curious boy who wants to be part of everything you do. He loves exploring, watching the world go by, and discovering what adventures might be waiting around the next corner. Going for a hike? He's in. Planning a road trip? He's already packed! Heading outside to explore? He'll be right there, ready to go! Loki is playful, energetic, and full of personality. He'll greet you when you get home, tell you all about his day, and make sure you never forget that he has an opinion on just about everything. 😂 ❄️ SNOW DOG, NOT A WATER DOG! Loki loves the snow but isn't particularly interested in water. Give him a snowy landscape to explore and he'll be one happy boy! With his beautiful white coat and icy-blue eyes, he certainly looks the part of a winter adventure companion. ☃️🤍 🎾 TOYS, TUG-OF-WAR & PLAYTIME! Loki loves a good game of tug-of-war and will happily bring his toys over to invite you to play. Fair warning, though: Loki is enthusiastic about his toys, including the part where he rips them apart! 😂 Durable toys and regular replacements will probably become part of your shopping list. But hey, better the toys than your couch pillows! 🐕 A FRIEND TO OTHER DOGGIES Loki genuinely enjoys the company of other dogs. He's used to having a canine friend to play with and would likely love a home with another friendly, compatible dog. However, he could also be happy as your one-and-only, provided he gets plenty of exercise, attention, and opportunities to socialize. For families who work outside the home, doggy daycare could be a great option on busy days when you can't give him as much exercise as he'd like. 🐿️ ONE IMPORTANT THING TO KNOW Loki has a strong chase instinct, so a home with cats or other small animals would not be a suitable match. He'll do best with a family who understands his instincts and can give him safe, appropriate outlets for his energy. 😂 LOKI'S OTHER HOBBY: TRASH TREASURE HUNTING Your rubbish bin? Loki sees an exciting mystery waiting to be solved. This boy enjoys dumpster diving, so a secure, locking trash can will be essential in his new home. Consider it part of the Loki-proofing process! 🏡 LOKI'S DREAM HOME Loki would absolutely thrive in an active home with people who want to include him in their everyday lives. His ideal family would offer: • Plenty of exercise, outdoor adventures, and mental stimulation • A securely fenced yard where he can safely run and play • Lots of love, attention, and interaction • Children and a busy household where he can be part of the action • Opportunities to explore, travel, and experience new things • Possibly another friendly dog to keep him company He could make a fantastic running partner or even a companion to train for biking adventures with the right preparation and training. One leisurely walk a day probably won't satisfy this adventurous soul. Loki needs a family ready to embrace his energy and give him a fulfilling, active lifestyle! ❤️ COULD LOKI BE YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND? Loki has spent his entire life with the family who raised him. Now, through circumstances beyond anyone's control, he needs another chance at forever. He's loving, social, playful, and full of life. He wants to be included, to explore the world with his people, to make doggy friends, and to have someone who appreciates every goofy, talkative, toy-destroying moment of his personality. If your idea of the perfect dog is a handsome, blue-eyed adventure buddy who will happily join you on road trips, outdoor excursions, and everyday family fun, Loki might just be your guy! 🤍🩵 He's ready for his next chapter. Could you be the one to write it with him? 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 Loki 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.
