MEET GROUCHO! Groucho is a male shepherd mix. He is tan with some black on his back, weighs approximately 54 lbs., and stands 16" at the shoulder. Groucho came to the shelter in April 2019 with his two siblings and we estimated their ages at that time to be 1 year old. His siblings were both adopted, leaving him behind alone. He was passed up then because he is a little shy around new people, but opens up later. He has been living in a kennel with other dogs. He is good with other dogs, kids, and people. Groucho would love to have a forever family to love and play with especially after being at this Mississippi shelter for 1.5 years!!! Groucho is up to date on all his shots, neutered, and microchipped. He has pretty greenish hazel eyes. If you would like to adopt this beautiful boy, please be prepared to allow for decompression time. We are also looking for a family who is open to do some training when the time is right for that. To adopt please visit our website www.peace4paws.org and fill out an adoption application. Thanks!!

MEET JACKSON! Jackson is a male American Rescue with similarities to a lab/terrier mix. He weighs 55 lbs. and stands fifteen inches at the shoulder. He came to the shelter in 2017 and we estimated his age at that time to be 2 years old. So, he is approximately five years old now and has lived more than half his life at the shelter.

He has been living in a kennel with other dogs and doing well additionally he doesn’t seem to have any interest in cats. Jackson is up to date on all his shots, neutered and microchipped.

MEET COOPER! Cooper is an 8-year-old, male hound mix. He weighs about sixty pounds. Cooper is good with dogs and children ages ten and older. He has a high prey instinct and therefore is not good with cats. He will make a great family dog; he is housebroken, knows his basic commands (sit, lie down, stay, and give paw) when motivated with treats. Cooper is sweet and calm with a low to moderate activity level. He enjoys walks but will pull hard if he sees a cat, squirrel, deer, etc. He would love to have a home with a fenced back yard to explore. Cooper has been fully vetted, is neutered, and is up to date on his vaccinations. To adopt Cooper please visit our website www.peace4paws.org and fill out an adoption application.

MEET ZEKE! Meet Zeke, the black lab/shepherd mix. This handsome approximately 70 pound 1.5-year-old boy is very smart and eager to please. He learns quickly. He is a grateful boy. His foster mom worked with him with a trainer for some time. Zeke is pretty good on a leash and knows some basic commands. She gave him a lot of extra love and attention because Zeke had lived most of his life as a chained dog in a trailer park. He was a good guard dog. In the beginning he used to bark at everyone but then he just stopped; she thinks it is because he started to feel safe in her home. So, he will need some decompression time in his forever home as well. He is a normal lab mix who loves to play fetch. She says that if his forever family had a “tennis ball launcher” Zeke would run for hours. She thinks he would be a great agility dog. He loves kids, but because he doesn’t realize his size, he would inadvertently knock over little ones, so best with kids age 9 and over. He would be great with an active family--runners, hikers—an outdoors type family and the foster said he would be good on a kayak or a boat! He does have a high prey drive--he cannot live with a cat. He is better with female dogs than male dogs and he gets along well with small dogs. He is friendly and loving and will need a strong handler because he does still pull on the leash, which after being chained so long is understandable. He is friendly and loving. He is housebroken. Zeke will be totally up to date on all his shots, neutered and microchipped by the time he arrives in Northern NJ on January 10th. To adopt Zeke please visit our website www.peace4paws.org and fill out an adoption application. Thanks!

MEET JUGHEAD! Meet calm, sweet senior Jughead. This boy spent his whole life of ten years with one family as an elderly person’s companion. Sadly, she was moved to a nursing home and obviously couldn’t take him with her! Black and tan coonhound Jughead was heartbroken but has been nothing but sweet and kind to everyone in the shelter. He is a medium sized boy at 60 pounds that loves being petted and going for walks. He will probably greatly enjoy walks in his forever home but will also be a great couch potato companion. Looking for a family who understands hounds and really wants to help a senior dog live out his golden years on top! He will need decompression time and time to get used to his new family’s schedule and expectations. He is good with dogs, cats, and kids. He is not a jumpy dog which is great when there are younger kids around. To apply for Jughead please visit our website www.peace4paws.org and fill out an adoption application. Thank you!!

MEET CINNAMON TIGER! Sweet Cinnamon Tiger was left at a remote rural MS shelter at only six months old (12/28/18) and has lived there until now (1/15/21). Three years! While in the shelter, muscular fifty-five pound 3.5-year-old Cinnamon Tiger lived in a large kennel with two other dogs. He was able to socialize with the staff (they gave him a lot of hugs that he really needed) and go on regular walks. He was deemed healthy, friendly, and eager to please. He does jump on people but that is certainly understandable considering he just wants to love and be loved. With time and training he could learn not to jump. He is being fostered by Krissy who is a pet lover, experienced handler, and owner of a dog grooming salon in Norwood, NJ. He interacts with kids and adults with joy. He is motivated by food, praise, or toys, and is housebroken. He responds well to training. He is confident in new situations, but does look to the handler for guidance. He has shown to be indifferent to cats, but we will not adopt him out to a home that has cats. We are looking for a family who has experience with dogs and is interested in the training process. Cinnamon Tiger is looking for a loving, compassionate family who is patient and diligent in providing decompression time to Tiger as he learns his role in a loving household. To apply to adopt Cinnamon Tiger, please visit our website www.peace4paws.org and fill out an adoption application. Thank you so much!!

MEET COLT! Colt is a super sweet young Treeing walker coonhound mix who appeared at a KY shelter just before Christmas as a stray. No one claimed him so he spent all of Christmas and New Year’s in the shelter. He just can’t wait to get out and start his new life with his forever family!!! Colt is fifty-two pounds, approximately one year old, and good with dogs. He loves to play with other dogs. By all appearances he seems like he will be a great family dog. We don’t have too much info about whether he needs training in housebreaking or not. We don’t have any specific info on how he is with kids or cats at this time. If more info comes in before he arrives January 10th, we will post it on our Facebook page as soon as we know. We do know that he will be up to date on all his shots, neutered, and microchipped by the time he arrives here. To adopt this handsome hound boy please visit our website www.peace4paws.org and fill out an adoption application. Thank you so much!

01-24-21 UPDATE:
Colt is a really sweet boy who just wants to love you. Treeing walker coonhound Colt is a really sweet boy. He has the best eye contact. He will look at you with his honey brown eyes and you will be in heaven! He really just wants to love you. He could probably be an emotional support dog if he had a patient and diligent trainer. He could never be a dog that goes to hospitals and is a therapy dog because he's too active, but he really connects with humans. He also absolutely loves to run around the backyard with another dog or multiple dogs; it would help him a lot to be adopted to a home with another dog. He would do great with kids because he's really playful. We don't recommend him with young kids because he's big and we don't want them to get knocked down inadvertently.
Technically he is a medium-sized dog at 52 pounds, but he has long legs. Thus, Colt is a very fitting name for him. He does gallop about -- he is absolutely beautiful. An adopter returned this dog after 15 minutes because they thought he was too wild in their car. If he were in a crate he wouldn't have been. He also will bay in the right circumstances, so he definitely wouldn't be the right choice for someone who lives in an apartment or lives really close to somebody else.
But, he would be absolutely fantastic in a household where there are other hounds so they could just be themselves and be absolutely adorable. To adopt teenaged treeing walker coonhound Colt, please visit our website www.peace4paws.org and fill out an adoption application. Thank you.

MEET ROSE! Meet Rose, the elegant thirty-eight pound approximately 4-year-old foxhound. Rose is gentle and not a barker, and she would be best in a home with a fenced in backyard. The Foxhound is a sweet dog with a lot of patience, but bred for activity. They are not recommended for novice dog owners, especially those living in urban areas. Thus we are not adopting her to apartment owners. This is an intelligent, active breed that will find some way to occupy themselves, and in a potentially destructive manner, if they don't have space or time for running. So, a fenced in backyard with a doggy door is ideal. She is great with all humans including kids. She is both dog and cat friendly. She, like all rescues, will need decompression time and patience in a new environment. We do not know if she is housebroken yet, but she would learn quickly when given proper direction and guidance. She will be up to date on all her shots and spayed by the time she arrives on Sunday, January 24. To adopt Rose please visit our website www.peace4paws.org and fill out an adoption application. Thank you.

MEET XENIA! Meet Xenia, the beautiful Plott Hound. She is only about one year old and forty-five pounds. She is great with dogs and kids, but not cats. She was the next one up on a hound breeders list to breed but a family member didn’t want her to spend the rest of her life breeding, so she brought her to a local rescue. Xenia had such sweet manners that it was obvious that someone loved and cared about her in the past. Xenia has been super affectionate to all. She is spayed and up to date on all her vaccinations.
