MEET ROMP! Meet pretty Romp fostered in Hillsdale, NJ since January 2021. Previously delicate Lab/pit mix Romp spent pretty much her whole life in a shelter in Mississippi. She was abandoned there with her brother when she was 7½ weeks old through no fault of her own. She was socialized with other dogs and the shelter people, but not in a home environment. Even there, Romp was quite timid, but she always had her brother Chomp to protect her. Well, Chomp was adopted, and she was then on her own. The shelter people felt that she came out of her shell a bit after he left, but she still had not seen much of the "real world." After at least two and a half years of being in the shelter Romp came to NJ and was adopted by a young couple that live on Long Island. City life scared poor Romp even more; when on a walk with her new mom, Romp was frightened by some noise, slipped her collar, ran into the street, and was grazed by a car. She was okay, but she was sent skidding down the street incurring only a few abrasions. In a way she was lucky. A vet did a thorough exam. Physically she is fine. The couple, not being experienced dog owners, did not know how to handle Romp. There was an incident right after the car/subsequent vet visit that Romp wanted to rest and they wanted her off the couch (perhaps to take her to go potty). They insisted, standing over her. Romp, being in pain, growled at them. That scared the owners and Romp was returned. Romp deserved a break but didn’t get it. Romp is now with a foster in a calm home and living alone with this nice retired senior woman named Judy and her dogs, and she loves both. Romp has bonded with her foster mom and is great with her other dogs. She is good with cats also (well, she is a bit afraid of them, but she doesn’t bother with them). Romp loves the foster's fenced yard because going on walks scares her; too much suburban noise scares her. Romp would be best in a calm home (no kids), perhaps with a person living alone or a retired couple. She would need intuitive, experienced dog owners. People who understand that she is fearful and has to learn about her new world very slowly. And a family that is happy to have her on the couch, as she likes the couch. No apartments, and a fenced yard is best unless the home is in a rural area because she doesn’t like to go for walks (too scared). Sweet Romp at about thirty-eight pounds, 3 years old, is a real rescue. Might you be her angel who takes her out of her fears and into a state of deep trust and peacefulness? Romp is ready for your forever family if that's the case! Romp is up to date on her vaccinations, has been spayed, and is housebroken. To give Romp the opportunity to learn how beautiful and safe the world is outside a shelter please apply to adopt Romp by visiting our website at www.peace4paws.org and fill out an adoption application Thanks!

MEET JAC! Beautiful Jac, 65-pound German shepherd mix, approx. 5 years old, was returned after four months. The family thinks he is a great dog, just not, in their view, compatible with their six-year-old son. Jac is best buddies with their 12-year-old son; they would play fetch and cuddle and have a great time. Jac was very obedient and loyal to the dad in the family. We don’t know what happened exactly between adoption day when all the kids and the dog got along so well, and the situation at the end where Jac was anxious around their six-year-old, and would bark when the six year old came in the room, or would run and dance. But other than that, the chemistry was very good with the other family members. They were taking him to group training classes for a short time, but for this issue with the child the trainer said he recommended private lessons, which had we known about this, would have agreed one hundred percent. Sadly, in most cases a good private trainer can problem solve. We always recommend getting private training lessons when people are adopting their first dog. Private trainers could do more than what a basic group obedience class offers. But Jac did not get that opportunity. So, we are recommending him for a family who has a teenage boy aged 13 and up, and lives in a quieter area then the busy suburban/urban area he lived in for the past four months. Jack is a country dog at heart. He did his best to adjust to the rules of the new home; he was not allowed on the furniture. He was anxious around thunder, lightning, fireworks, hoses, and motorcycles. That too could be managed more with the help of a trainer moving forward. Again, the family loved Jac and will be sending him to his new home with all his belongings. They fed him well, cooked for him every night--chicken, vegetables, and rice. Jac is very healthy, up to date on all his shots, and neutered. To give Jac the loving, understanding, patient, and wise home he so deserves please visit our website at www.peace4paws.org and fill out an adoption application for Jac! Thank you!!!
