Rescue Story * Mina was brought to the Gimje City Shelter and was very scared of people for unknown reasons. Due to this, she was at risk of being put on the euthanasia list, which led us to urgently rescue her. 3.) Basic Information * With People: Used to get scared and uncomfortable with people, but has become much better after training. Hangs around strangers if they have treats and tries to catch their attention! Has become accepting of touch and allows those close to her to pet her. Often comes nearby quietly and gives kisses with her nose. * With Dogs: Gets along well with other dogs. Has a lot of curiosity towards new dogs and greets them with sniffs. Doesn’t fight and gets along well with familiar dogs, while she doesn’t pay particular attention to other dogs. * Separation Anxiety: Not confirmed since she’s living in a communal environment at our center. Sleeps in a kennel and relaxes even when alone at our center. May need training from scratch if she lives in a family home. * Potty Training: Goes outdoor potty while residing at our center. Prefers potty outside but makes occasional mistakes in her kennel while trying to hold in it. * Hygiene: Stays still while enjoying human touch. Accepts baths and brushing nicely. Is patient enough to have her nail trimmed once her paws are firmly held. * Walks: Isn’t used to walks and finds them awkward. Recently through training, she walks well in areas she’s comfortable with but pulls on the leash in areas where she’s uncomfortable. Follows along well if she walks with another helper dog. Doesn’t chase other animals on walks. * Barks when she’s wary of strangers and she wants something, especially when she gets impatient and wants it faster! * Prefers treats over toys. * Is scared of uncomfortable places, people and collars.

Story

This incredible boy Ryder has seen some tough times, but he hasn't let that change his sweet personality. Ryder is a 64 pound american staffordshire terrier mix who is estimated to be about a year old. He loves to cuddle and play tug of war. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and is very gentle with his smaller foster sibling. He hasn't been around cats or children but due to his gentle personality we don't anticipate there would be any issues. His foster mom says he was a "sweetie from the moment she picked him up." He's potty trained and knows how to use a doggie door, he's also neutered and up to date on his vaccinations. Ryder's start to life was rough. He was found extremely emaciated and was trying to survive by eating rocks and sticks. He also had very bad calluses from laying around on cement and rough terrain all day. His first foster dropped him off at a vet and never came back to claim him. The vet was going to return him to the shelter where he would have been euthanized due to lack of space. Luckily a new foster stepped up to give him the love and attention he had been missing out on. Thanks to their loving care Ryder has gained a healthy amount of weight and his calluses are disappearing. Now he just needs to find his forever family. Personality: friendly, playful, affectionate, gentle, sweetheart Good with: people and dogs (has not been around kids or cat tested yet but he is gentle with other smaller dogs) Training: housebroken and can use a doggy door, knows the "sit" command Estimated date of birth: August 2024 Weight: 64 pounds Medical: vetted, up to date on vaccinations, neutered, heartworm negative, microchipped Location: Currently located with a foster in Texas, but if adopted, will come to the NJ area on our next transport.

Story

Zeus is a playful 8 year old that loves to sit on your lap. He likes to go for a ride and will sit up in the seat beside you to watch everything. His owner passed away so he is kind of lost right now hoping that he finds a new home with caring loving people as soon as possible. Zeus was housebroken but could use a refresher course as his owner was very sick before passing away and was unable to take him outside for his potty breaks at times. A loving person that would put a lot of care into him would have a friend for life. If you would like to add the playful man, Zeus to your home, please respond by using the big black button marked " Ask About Me" and we will send you an application. These dogs are being fostered in TN but included in your adoption fee is transport to a location near you by Rescue Riders Pet Transport, the most animal-friendly transport on the road.

Story

Toby was a stray that I found when he was about 5 months old. He was a very smelly and emaciated puppy but had such a bold and fun personality. I fell in love with him instantly and had to help him. He is now 6 years old and still has that same playful enthusiasm. Every morning first thing toby does before heading outside, is grabbing a toy. He is a high maintenance dog because he has environmental and food allergies. He needs bi-monthly vet visits for medication.Im looking for someone who can afford the care for him and able to deal with his high and LOVING energy drive. Toby is a cuddle bug as much as he loves to play. Being the true boy he is, roughhousing is also something he loves along with FOOD. A food motivated, high maintenance, bratty dog Toby is. I hope you can learn to love each part of him as much as I have over these years. Take a chance on my boy❤️
