Story
Meet Adonis Creed! 🐾❤️ Meet Adonis Creed, our sweet, playful boy who has been part of our family since he was just 3 months old. He has grown up surrounded by love, attention, and family life. Adonis has a playful personality and enjoys being around people. He is accustomed to being around small children and other dogs. He has also spent time at a dog sitter’s home, where he socialized with other animals. He is both potty trained and crate trained, although he does occasionally have an accident inside, so a little patience and consistency are still important. During the workday, Adonis is normally comfortable staying in his crate while everyone is away. At night, he enjoys sleeping outside of his crate and being part of the family. Adonis is a family-raised pup who is used to having companionship, a daily routine, and people around him. He is a playful boy who deserves a home where he will continue to receive plenty of love, care, patience, and attention.

Story
Meet Rainey, a delightful 15-month-old Rat Terrier with a heart full of love and a past that makes her story even more endearing. Rainey is a gentle soul, despite her rough start. Dumped at a vet in Mississippi at just 8 months old and diagnosed with heartworms, she has since made a full recovery and is now clear, ready to bring joy and warmth to her forever home. Rainey may have a quiet and independent side, often found lounging like a true couch potato, but she is also incredibly friendly and playful. She loves nothing more than receiving sweet kisses and engaging in fun games with her humans. Rainey’s gentle nature makes her excellent with other dogs, ensuring she’ll fit right in with your furry family members. Currently in Mississippi, Rainey is eager to start her journey to New Jersey with a foster-to-adopt commitment. For an adoption/donation fee of just $300, which covers her vet visit for a health certificate and crate fee for her travel to NJ, Rainey can become the awesome addition your family has been waiting for. If you’re ready to fill your home with love, laughter, and a touch of Rainey’s unique charm, fill out an application today.

Story
Meet Prospect! This adorable 2-year-old, 15 lb mixed breed is the perfect combination of fun, friendly, and downright lovable. With his cute face and happy personality, Prospect is the kind of dog who makes friends wherever he goes. He enjoys spending time with people, loves playing with other dogs, is good with kids, and is always ready for his next adventure-whether that's a walk around the neighborhood or relaxing by your side after a day of fun. He is a lap pet through and through and loves to be carried around, too. He enjoys tug-of-war, chasing balls, playing with toys independently or with you, and likes stuffies with squeakers. He is an obedient gentleman who is eager to please. He is house-trained and crate-trained and walks well on a leash. Prospect appears to trust those around him almost instantly and has had such a great demeanor in his foster home making him a dog that really bonds deeply with those around him. Rescued all the way from Texas, Prospect is eager at the prospect of having that forever family he's been waiting for. He's microchipped, neutered, and up to date on his vaccines. All that's missing is a place to call home! His adoption fee of $415 has been sponsored. Apply today to adopt PROSPECT GCH at www.ehrdogs.org.

Story
Indiana is an 8 year old Jack Russell and we have had her since she was 8 weeks old. She is great with people and children. We have many grandchildren and so trained her to be patient with them regardless of age. She rarely gets along with the 3 other dogs in the home, and in the past just ignored them. For the past almost year, she has developed a hatred for our golden and now attacks her every chance she gets, and now with the other dogs in the house as well. She needs to go to a home where she’s the only pet. She loves to fetch and walk and a cuddler. She's up to date on everything and JUST had oral surgery this summer to remove some of her teeth, totaling over $1,500. She has had her yearly exams and everything else is fine. We can provide all the records. We have tried to make it a go, including retraining and all the advice our vet has recommended. We are to the point where we just want a happy home for her.She is not happy. she’s fine with other dogs on walks but not dog parks.
