Story
My name is Thor. My name sounds big and tough but I promise, I am not either of those! I am almost 5 months old and about 30 to 35 lbs. You might ask, I am listed as a Golden/Aussie mix, why am I not golden in color? Well, genes work in mysterious ways. I am a very sweet boy. I love other dogs and would prefer to live with another dog in my forever home. This is two fold, another dog gives me a little confidence boost when meeting new people and I absolutely love their companionship and playtime. However, the other dog doesn't have to constantly play with me. I am great at entertaining myself and asking my humans to play too. I love people. Once I trust, I trust hard and am loyal and incredibly affectionate. I meet new people almost often in my foster home and that has been really good for me! At first, I am standoffish and need a little time to make sure you are okay. I am not an ounce aggressive, just unsure. It's not long until I think you are totally worthy of all of my goodness. I am good with kids and would be perfectly fine living with some respectful kiddos. I live with school aged kids now and enjoy cuddling and running in the backyard. I am a natural (no surprise there). We think swimming or kiddie pools could be in my future. I certainly loved the sprinklers. I am crate trained and I am housebroken! A fenced in yard and single family home is required for me. I'm also good with cats! I am located in NJ. Here is a link to the application: https://www.zivadogrescue.org/adoptable-dogs

Story
My name is Speckles. I am 4.5 months and about 22 lb and an absolute doll. I am an Aussie/Terrier mix and should be about 35 lbs full grown. I am a lover of all people and kids and dogs! I absolutely adore all humans and I love playing with my dog friends big or small. I could live with or without doggie friends. If you don't have dogs though - I would love some doggie playdates! I love to play with toys and can independently chew and keep myself entertained. I am really good about sticking to my toys and not focusing on your furniture. I absolutely love squeaky toys. They are my fav! I also can fetch (really!). I am spunky and fun but also have a major couch potato side. You won't see my staying up late night. By 8:00 I am down for the count and ready to cuddle and sleep. I am really smart and understand that I should go potty outside. I am crate trained and sleep overnight peacefully. I am a master at it. I go right in without a peep and get this is my space. I am happy to explore on leash and will make a great walking buddy! I am curious - I love to stop and smell the flowers and greet everyone nicely! I would make a great dog for so many people and families! I am really a well-rounded and easy going girl. I am located in NJ! If you are interested in me, here is a link to the application: https://www.zivadogrescue.org/adoptable-dogs

Story
This handsome fellow and his siblings came in to rescue last winter after they were dumped on a back country road. Their mother was found deceased, so we took the puppies in to try to save them. They were very sick initially but are very healthy now. Big boy is a gentle boy but does love to run and play with other dogs. Big boy was the largest of the puppies, but his siblings have caught up to him. He has done amazing with his house and crate training. He is so deserving of a wonderful home to call his own. He is fostered in East TN, but transportation is included in the adoption fee and provided by Rescue Riders LLC. Please let me know if you have any questions. Please email us for the link to the adoption application (His adoption fee is only to cover transport and health certificate to travel to another state.)

Story
Meet Sherry - a smart, spirited red tri Australian Shepherd with a big personality and an even bigger love for play! At around 3 years old, Sherry is in her prime. She knows how to sit and shake, walks well on and off leash, and is always ready for her next adventure. Whether it's a game of fetch, a round of tug-of-war, or a ride in the car, Sherry is happiest when she is on the move and having fun. Sherry is a confident girl who likes to be in charge, so she's looking for a home where she can be the boss. She will do best as tghe dominant dog in the household and pairs better with dogs her size or larger who respect her space and leadership style. She's curious about cats but has shown that she can coexist peacefully without bothering them. True to her breed, she loves to observe the world around her - farm animals like goats, chickens, and pigs are endlessly fascinating to her and she could spend hours watching them. After a day of activity she enjoys some cuddle time, though she prefers affection on her own terms rather than constant attention. Sherry is heartworm positive but is on the path to recovery. She has begun her treatment but needs a local adopter so our FOR vet can see her through it. If you are looking for a loyal, playful and independent companion with a strong personality and love for life, Sherry just may be your perfect match. Sherry is spayed, chipped, and up to date on vaccinations. Her heartworm treatment will continue with a FOR vet post adoption with the oversight of a committed local adopter. If you are interested please fill out an application at our website forrescue.net

Story
Meet Aggy, a sweet girl who has lots of love to give. She takes a moment to come out of her shell, but when she feels brave enough, she likes pets and just laying by you.

She`s hanging out in a foster home, but she`s still available for adoption! To learn more about her, contact her foster at sedonagaard9@gmail.com
