Story
Meet Uly! We got him as a tiny puppy in May 2023 when he was just around two months old or younger. In October, he had a tough accident—he was hit by a car. We did everything possible to care for him, making sure he got his medicine and the attention he needed. Thankfully, he made a full recovery and is now a happy, energetic dog. Uly loves to play and has a lot of energy. One of his favorite games is being chased, and he absolutely loves swimming. He’s very affectionate and enjoys forehead kisses. While he’s great with our cats and has never hurt them, he is afraid of kids—he tends to jump back or run away when he sees them. He eats a mix of homemade food and kibble. We’re looking for a loving home where he’ll get plenty of playtime, affection, and care. If you’re looking for a playful, loyal, and loving companion, Uly could be the perfect fit!

Story
Hi there! I’m Willa! I’m a sweet and playful 3-4-year-old boxer mix, weighing in at a lovable 60 pounds.  I’m super, super friendly, and I love other dogs, but would probably do best in a home as the only pup. I was patiently waiting at a shelter in Tennessee, but it’s gotten crowded because of all the dogs displaced by Hurricane Helene. I came in a stray, and nobody has come for me, so now I'm thrilled that I was lucky enough to come to NJ and find you! I am currently living with a foster family with older kids and I love them, but its not a forever kind of thing and I'm still on the hunt for my fur-ever. I'm looking for a very patient and low energy home, as I can sometime get anxious (especially when being outside - I'm still learning the ropes!) I recently learned how fun toys and balls can be. And then there's the nightly couch cuddle I can't resist. I do great in the crate when my family is not home and at night. I also know some basic manners like sit, paw and leave it.  If you’re looking to open your heart and home to a new best friend, please consider adopting me. When you bring me home, you’ll also make space for other dogs who are still waiting for help. You can apply at www.peace4paws.org/adoption-application. I can’t wait to meet you! Let’s make room for more friends in need.If you have specific adoption or foster questions, please email: judy.atchison@yahoo.com THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN RESCUING A DOG!

Story
Meet Rusty, a lovable 6-year-old Boxer/Pitbull mix who is ready to find his forever home. Weighing in at 68 pounds, Rusty is a gentle giant who has spent the last few years in a loving home in South Carolina. Originally rescued from Kentucky, he’s had a life filled with care and affection but sadly his owner has recently fallen ill and can no longer care for him. While this is heartbreaking, it’s important to note that this is *no fault of Rusty’s own*—he’s simply a dog who is ready to find a new family to share his love with. Rusty is a smart, playful, and beautiful soul who is all about showing affection. His excitement is contagious—he does a full-body wiggle when he's happy, and he always greets you with a smile! He’s a well-mannered boy who will sit patiently while you put on his leash and waits politely for his dinner. Rusty is not destructive, and he doesn’t chew on things that aren’t his—he’s a calm presence in the home, making him a great fit for a more low-key environment. He’s great with other dogs and would thrive in a household with low-traffic teens or adults. Rusty isn’t recommended for a home with younger kids due to his size and strength, but in the right setting, he’ll be the loyal companion you’ve been looking for. Rusty is fully housetrained, up to date on all vaccines, and neutered. He loves car rides and is always up for an adventure, but after a day of fun, he’s happiest when he’s curled up next to his people, enjoying a quiet moment. Rusty is looking for a family that can offer him the love, stability, and comfort he deserves as he enters this new chapter of his life. If you're ready to open your heart to a dog who will bring nothing but love, joy, and loyalty into your home, Rusty is waiting for you. Apply to adopt him today at https://peace4paws.org/adoption-application. Rusty can’t wait to meet you and start this exciting new journey together!If you have specific adoption or foster questions, please email: judy.atchison@yahoo.com THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN RESCUING A DOG!

Meet Mr. Bones! Mr. Bones is a super sweet, gentle giant who just wants to love and be loved. This 2-year-old, 64-pound Boxer mix is neutered, heart worm negative, cat and dog friendly. He is easy to handle on a leash and always eager to please the people around him. Mr. Bones would be a wonderful addition to a multi-pet household. While he hasn’t been around small children yet, his calm nature—he doesn’t jump or pull on anyone—suggests he would be a great fit for a family with kids. Mr. Bones was near the top of the list to be euthanized, but Peace4Paws saw what a great dog he is and stepped in to save him. Now, he has a second chance at life and is looking for a family to give him the love he deserves. He will be arriving in New Jersey on February 15, eager to meet his forever family. If you’re looking for a gentle, well-mannered, and loving companion, Mr. Bones is the one for you! Interested in giving this amazing boy a forever home?
