Story
Ferguson is a handsome 4-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback mix looking for a new family through no fault of his own. Sadly, his owner has a terminal illness and can no longer care for him. Ferguson is neutered, up to date on his vaccinations, and is currently being trained both on- and off-leash by Beth Bradley Dog Training. He is a loyal, intelligent dog who will thrive in the right home. Because he has a high prey drive, he will do best in a home without small animals or young children. He would also likely do best as an only dog or with female dogs only, depending on a proper introduction. He's looking for an experienced owner who can provide structure, exercise, and plenty of love. It will take a few days for Ferguson to trust you but once he does he will reward you with loyalty and companionship. Ferguson deserves a fresh start during this difficult time. If you think you could give him the safe, loving home he deserves, please reach out. Please share to help Ferguson find his forever home. All our dogs/pups are spayed/neutered and microchipped prior to adoption. They have been dewormed and are current on vaccinations. Our adoption fee includes 30 days of complimentary medical insurance for your new pet. Breed and size is frequently a guess and can not be guaranteed. Our dogs are fostered on a private residence, we do not have a free standing shelter Initial contact with us must be made through e-mail. E-mail ARFofMercer@gmail.com directly for an adoption application or with any questions. Once your adoption application is approved, you will be invited to meet our dogs/puppies.

Story
Sinbad is a handsome, approximately 9-year-old mix of Rhodesian Ridgeback and Mountain Cur, weighing about 75 pounds Sinbad has spent his entire life on a horse farm surrounded by animals and family. He has lived with horses, cats, chickens, and another dog with whom he gets along well. He’s comfortable around horses, although he does enjoy trying to chase the chickens and cats if given the opportunity.   Sinbad loves being outside. Playing fetch and Frisbee are some of his favorite activities, and he always enjoys going for walks. As he’s gotten older, he’s become even more affectionate. A true definition of a lap dog, he loves hard. He absolutely loves attention from his people and will happily roll onto his back for belly rubs and cuddles. He especially enjoys relaxing in bed with the adults in the house and simply being close to his family.   Sinbad has grown up with four children and, for many years, showed incredible patience as they played with him, hugged him, and climbed all over him. As he’s entered his senior years, however, he prefers a quieter lifestyle and has less tolerance for the constant activity that comes with a busy household of young children.   One thing that’s important to know about Sinbad is that he has always displayed some resource-guarding tendencies with high-value items like his balls, toys, and bones. Once he’s finished playing fetch and takes his ball to settle down, he prefers to be left alone with it. Because of this, he would do best with owners who understand canine body language and are willing to simply give him his space when he has something he considers valuable.   His present family has grown over the years, and with children now ages 2, 4, 9, and 11, his home has become much busier than it was when Sinbad was younger. While he still craves attention and affection, he no longer enjoys the constant hustle and bustle. Now,  he deserves a quieter home where he can be the center of someone’s world again.   Sinbad would thrive in an adult-only home or one with older, dog-savvy children who understand and respect his boundaries. He would make a wonderful companion for a single person, couple, or retired family looking for a loyal, loving dog to share their days with. He has so much love to give and simply wants a peaceful home where he can enjoy walks, snuggles, belly rubs, and all the attention he deserves.   (posted 4/5/26, RH)  Adoption Fee:  $100.00  July 18, 2026, 4:37 pm

🚨 URGENT: SENIOR SOUL SIRE NEEDS A HERO—NOW 🚨 At 11 years old, Sire should be safe… not at risk of losing everything he’s ever known. This gentle, loyal boy has spent his entire life with one person—since he was just a tiny puppy. And now, through no fault of his own, he’s about to be left with nowhere to go. His owner is facing a life crisis—losing his job and needing to relocate to care for her sick mother… to a place where dogs are not allowed. 💔 And Sire… will have no one. ⸻ Meet Sire 🐾 • 11 years old | ~90 lbs • Rhodesian Ridgeback mix • Fully vaccinated • Located in Ewing, NJ ⸻ ✨ THE KIND OF DOG EVERYONE DREAMS OF Sire is the definition of easy, gentle, and loyal. ✔️ Dog friendly – truly a pushover ✔️ Cat friendly – has lived peacefully with cats ✔️ Kid friendly – gentle and patient ✔️ Housebroken & crate trained (his crate is his safe space ❤️) ✔️ Calm, quiet, well-mannered ✔️ Not destructive at all He doesn’t ask for much—just a soft place to land and someone to love. ⸻ 💔 A SWEET SENIOR WHO DESERVES PEACE Sire has some minor arthritis (managed with supplements) and allergies (on prescription food), but overall he is a low-maintenance, easy companion. He’s past the chaos. Past the puppy stage. He just wants to be near you… and feel safe again. ⸻ 😭 PLEASE DON’T LET HIM END UP IN A SHELTER An 11-year-old dog will not understand why his whole world disappeared. The stress alone could break him. He has done everything right his whole life. Now he needs someone to do right by him. ⸻ 🙏 BE HIS HERO Open your home to a dog who will quietly love you with everything he has left. Sire doesn’t need perfect. He just needs you.
