Nectar Bunny is ready to trade shelter life for a cozy home, a warm lap, and people who will cherish her for the wonderful little dog she is.

Story
***SPECIAL FEE $550 FOR THE PAIR*** Bristol is the devoted sister and official "eyes" for her blind brother, Reevie, and together they are an inseparable, deeply-bonded pair. Bristol takes her role seriously, but she is also a total comedian and a joyful companion in her own right. She is fully house-trained, exceptionally neat, and sleeps peacefully through the night with her brother in the foster family's mudroom. Bristol, like Reevie is a major squeaky toy enthusiast—in fact, her favorite game is bringing her foster mom squeaky toys over and over again, demanding they be thrown back to her! She is incredibly kind and thrives in the company of both humans and other pets. Bristol is looking for a forever home alongside her brother, Reevie, where they can continue their beautiful partnership. If you are ready for double the love and laughter, please reach out to Trust Rescue to meet Bristol today!

Story
***SPECIAL FEE $550 FOR THE PAIR*** Meet Reevie, a completely delightful petite guy who is the definition of happy-go-lucky! Reevie happens to be blind, but if you didn't look closely, you would absolutely never know it. He doesn't let it slow him down for a single second, navigating his foster home with complete confidence as if he’s lived there his entire life. Reevie is incredibly clean, fully house-trained, and sleeps beautifully through the night in the mudroom without a peep. He is a sweet, funny, and chirpy little fido who absolutely loves everyone he meets; but his true soul mate is his sister, Bristol. Bristol acts as his reassuring eyes in the world, giving him the confidence to shine. Reevie's absolute favorite playtime things are squeaky toys, and he is a total expert at tracking them down! He behaves just like any other happy, healthy dog and will bring an abundance of joy to his forever home. Because Reevie and Bristol share a rare, unbreakable bond, they are looking for a perfect fit family who will adopt them together as the ultimate package deal. Reevie and Bristol will bring endless joy to your home! At Trust Rescue, we're dedicated to connecting loving families with wonderful canine companions.

Story
Meet Fritter! Another little youngster abandoned and terrified at our local animal control, he quickly warmed up and showed he’s still just a puppy and a jittery Velcro one at that. He was recently shaved, though had a few dirty dreadlocks still hanging off of him. So we are going to guess he was pretty neglected for a while and paces and panics when crated at first like he spent a lot of time in one and climbs baby gates in his quest to socialize. He’s very sweet and needy, about a year old Maltese mix, under 10lbs. He gets along with dogs but mostly just wants to be around his person and dances and begs to be held. Housebreaking is a work in progress and may take some patience. Email njwoof@cs.com to meet Fritter in Northern NJ Since COVID-19, we are no longer holding our Sunday adoption events until further notice, but we are scheduling meet and greet appointments with a specific dog or dogs at our meeting spots in Northern NJ. To streamline adoptions, all communication before, during, and after the adoption process is done through email only: we have limited volunteers able to return phone calls. Submit an application from our website www.secondchance.petfinder.com to speed up the adoption process and email any questions to us at njwoof@cs.com. Please check your email regularly for next steps. All our dogs reside in foster care in Northern NJ until adoption and we do not have a central shelter location. We are a small all-volunteer organization focused on rescuing local dogs from area shelters, as well as accepting some surrenders and puppy mill rescues.

Story
We would like to introduce you to Lucy, a young Maltese or Shih Tzu mix estimated to be about one year old. Lucy came into our rescue in extremely poor condition. She was emaciated, little more than skin and bones, and her coat was so severely matted that she had to be sedated in order for us to safely remove the hair. When we saw how thin she was under all that matting, it was clear she had simply not been fed or cared for properly. Lucy is a wonderful dog that had a hard beginning and is hoping for a new start with a understanding home. Lucy will be spayed before adoption. Over the past few weeks, Lucy has made remarkable progress. She has already gained 3 pounds and is steadily regaining her strength. Her personality has begun to shine through: she is spunky, high-energy, and very affectionate. Lucy is still learning basic house manners. She is very smart and learning how to be a dog. She is currently working on her housebreaking and improving her leash manners. She can also be mouthy at times, which suggests she may never have been taught appropriate boundaries about using her mouth with people. We are actively working with her on this, and she is responsive to guidance. She is a chewer and will chew on anything she can. Despite her rough start, Lucy gets along excellently with all humans and truly does not have a mean bone in her body. She now enjoys playing with other dogs and would likely do well in a home with a compatible canine companion. However, Lucy is not suited for a home with cats. Lucy is a resilient young dog who, with continued structure, training, and affection, has the potential to become a wonderful companion. If you would like more information about Lucy or are interested in meeting her, please feel free to contact us. At pawdazzlepet@ail.com
