Story
Patches is a 2½-year-old Shih Tzu with a sweet soul and a quiet charm. This little lady is friendly, gentle, and has all the makings of a devoted companion. She’s crate trained, sleeps peacefully through the night, and is this close to being fully housebroken. Patches is on the quieter side — she only speaks up when she has something to say, like letting you know it’s cuddle time. She gets along well with other dogs but doesn’t necessarily need a canine buddy to be happy. That said, she would likely thrive in a home with another dog and in a quieter environment overall. She would not do well in an apartment or a busy city setting. What she really wants is someone to love and stick close to. She’s not spayed yet, but that will be taken care of through our vetting process. If you're looking for a sweet, steady, and affectionate best friend, Patches may be the one for you. ADOPTION PROCESS: 1. You must begin our adoption process by applying to adopt on clawsadopt.org. Please do NOT inquire via Petfinder, social media messengers or in our comments. We will only be looking at applications! 2. Please make sure you fill out our adoption application COMPLETELY. We may not be able to respond to applications that are not completely filled out with the proper information. Side note: on our applications, the more details you provide = the better. 3. We prefer applicants live within 60 miles of Closter, NJ. (Applicants who live farther away may still apply. However, please note we do prioritize local applications as we try our best to serve our local community first.) 4. Please respect our organization, our volunteers and our process. As a reminder, our organization is a nonprofit. We receive no money from the state. We have no paid employees! This is a polite reminder that we are doing our best to make the right decisions for the animals in our care. Thank you.

Story
Kai is a very happy dog. We got Kai at 12 weeks old from the Dominican Republic. He was born on August 15, 2020 & has been our fur baby since Dec. 2020. Kai came into our lives during the pandemic, and became a pandemic puppy. He’s a very good dog overall, until he’s left home alone for too many hours. Kai has severe separation anxiety and requires company 90% of the day. He’s not needy, but he does not like to be home alone. He could sleep all day & have a random burst of energy that lasts about 1 hour each day (he will initiate play time when this happens). Kai is very friendly, loving & cuddly. We are looking for a home where Kai will have company majority of the day, he’s low maintenance, but loves your presence even if you are not directly interacting with him, so if you WFH, are a stay at home person, or retired then this might be a good fit for you.

Story
Howdy from Texas! I am a very handsome and charming Shih Tzu named Mookie. I am about 4 years old, weigh just 11.6 lbs, and I was dumped on the streets of San Antonio. I was a matted mess with no chip or collar, and because I am a friendly little guy, a good Samaritan picked me up. I was posted on social media, but since nobody claimed me, 4 Little Paws Rescue took me in and cared for me. I’m now freshly groomed, vaccinated, neutered, microchipped, and ready to meet you! My foster mom says I’m a good boy with a medium energy level and easy-going attitude. I am friendly with strangers, great with other dogs, although a bit indifferent towards them, and I’m not sure if I’ve met a kitty cat. I love dog toys of every variety, playing fetch, and snuggling beside my human. I am well-behaved, housebroken, only bark when I need to alert you, and I love going for walks or riding along in the car. I simply just love being with my people, getting pets, sleeping in bed with them, and being told how handsome I am, LOL! I will sit on command and dance in a circle, standing up on my hind legs when offered a yummy treat. My tail is always wagging, unless I’m at the groomers, Yikes! I hear the Eastern Seaboard is the place to be, so inquire about me today! * 4 Little Paws is based in CT. We adopt in many different states along the East Coast. Transport costs are included in the adoption fee. If you are located outside the states we typically adopt to, we have options to get the dog of your dreams to your location.

Story
Meet Gizmo Giblet! 6 years old and 14lbs. This adorable pup prefers to be the only child so a home with human kids will not be considered for his adoption. Gizmo is the dog for you if you’re looking for a boy that wants to be beside you, no matter what! You understand that he communicates by growling along with nasty comments, and you don’t mind that he will bark and scratch at doors to get your attention when you leave him. He will also help keep friends and family away by barking, growling and snapping at them when they get close to you. He is a happy and playful boy that loves squeak toys and will insist on sleeping beside you and may pee in your bed Interested in becoming a forever home for Gizmo Giblets? Fill out our online adoption application: http://www.friendswithfourpaws.org/adoption-form.html This is the first step in our process, and we don't go any further without an application. Find more adoptable pets, news and information on Instagram @friendswithfourpaws or our Facebook page Friends with Four Paws . We put a lot of time and energy into processing our adoptions to find our babies the best fit home for them and you. Please do not submit an application if you are not serious about adopting Gizmo Giblets. We are so excited to work with you to find you a new forever friend, and Gizmo Giblets the perfect forever home, and appreciate you working with us. For immediate consideration, please attach your application to the initial inquiry to help us expedite the process. Our adoption fee is $525. This includes their spay/neuter surgery, full (age appropriate) vaccinations, microchip insertion and registration, deworming, heartworm testing and prevention, flea and tick prevention and travel expenses. All of our dogs are rescued from local shelters and the general public. Each dog is then placed in a foster home where he/she is kept for quarantine, to ensure if the dog gets sick it can receive proper treatment. We have foster homes in the NJ/NY area waiting to receive their fosters. Once an animal has received an application or there's an adopter interested, we make arrangements for transport. If a dog is already in foster care in NYC/NJ, an adopter will be put in touch with the foster home AFTER an application is being processed. Thank you in advance for your patience with our process and for making adoption YOUR option!
