Dolly the Explorer – A report from her Foster Mom 19 Days Later
Dolly is super smart and inquisitive. There is never a dull moment with her. She makes the most mundane places and things interesting. She will search a closet, a corner, under a bed, the laundry room, the recycling with such delight that it is contagious. She loves going for walks. Quiet roads or busy roads are equally fascinating for her and she alternates between walking right at your side making eye contact or just taking it all in dancing in some gentle circles ahead of you. She walks well with just you, or with up to four other dogs. She is a confident dog.
She would be a great companion to a submissive, unconfident dog. She loves to snuggle with one of the dogs in her foster home. She loves affection and will jump on you while you are seated or when she sees you or if you are both in bed. She is so light that her big paws are a soft and welcome connection. She is all about connection and will make sure she is touching you one way or another when you both sleep. She is always cheerful.
She will do her business on the walk and on wee wee pads. Right now she will need to go pretty often during the day, but holds it throughout the night. She understands the doggy door and the stairs including the stairs to the bed because she is so smart. She is most comfortable around people, and would be best suited with someone who works at home or is retired. And she would enjoy the companionship of a submissive dog and a backyard plus lots of walks.

Dolly Update from her foster Mom on June 16, 2022.
Brown poodle Dolly is the sweetest girl. She is so soft and cuddly. She is only about 12 pounds and nine years old. She is like a Gumby doll. She just molds to your lap or body affectionately. She is so smart. She learns faster than any of the other retired poodle mamas we have seen.
She loves to investigate. She is so fun to watch. We have a photo of her looking inside the dryer. She wants to learn about everything. She is super enthusiastic on the walks. She walks with another retired poodle mama and three resident dogs. She keeps up with the pack. She loves to sniff everything. She rolls in the grass and bushes because she either has some allergies that are bothering her we think. She has received some treatment for that. We have changed her food to lamb and rice and snacks to venison, cod, salmon and vegetables. Her eyes run a bit. Hopefully over time her allergies will decrease. She has had a lot of affection from humans we think at the large breeding facility because she is so affectionate with her foster family and all the volunteer visitors.
She does react to the resident male beagle with a bit of fear. She charges him sometimes and he ignores her. At this point she is apt to be somewhat nervous at night. She usually sleeps well but sometimes has bad dreams. She will get scared when dogs enter a room or loud noises and react with a harmless charge. We think it may be because of the breeding facilities choice to overbreed her. They had her there for nine years. Her belly is soft and her teats are large. They actually named her Dolly Parton, which to us is extremely disrespectful to her since they are responsible for her figure.
Dolly is very thin but very agile, alert and athletic. She has long legs but is petite so may have been bred with some Labradors to make doodles and that may account for her fear of male dogs who are larger than her. The breeders also chose to dock her tail which we think they did to make the male dog access easier rather than to benefit her in any way. Despite a difficult past, she is optimistic about all the new people she meets. She loves to be held.
She would do well in an understanding home, one that really wants to rescue a female retired from breeding. She should do well with another female dog in the home, but may do well as a single dog as well.
She would respond well to routine and to having her humans home a lot to keep her company. She will stay at your side. To give Dolly the loving forever home she needs please visit our website www.peace4paws.org and fill out an adoption application.
Report from Foster Mom Day 7
Dolly is just a joy. She has a superior temperament. She is super gentle and affectionate. She just wants to be with her human. She is a little more independent than some of the other retired puppy mill mamas. She is interesting to watch because she loves to explore.
She is super smart, once she was walking up the steps and stopped right above the place where the dog food was located in the closet that was below the stairs. She has a little prance when she walks. She just melts when you hold her. She will jump up on you or the bed with very soft paws to ask to be held or to join you in bed or on the couch. She is a super cuddler. She is learning about leash walking which is best learned in a group with one other or some other dogs. She has an interest in wee wee pads and has not had enough time to fairly learn "housebreaking". She has been getting rewarded from using the wee wee pads
Hello my name is Dolly. I was born June 1, 2013 and weigh 12 pounds. Because I am a cute, brown, hypoallergenic miniature poodle I have lived most of my nine years as a breeding mom at an USDA approved large breeding facility in Tennessee. When I was retired I lived for a short time with the Mississippi vet where I became up to date on all my vaccinations. I have been in foster in Westwood, NJ for three days now and everyone has noticed that I am happiest when I am sitting in your lap. It’s true, I am! In your lap I relax, I melt and I am content.
Dolly is looking for a loving family that will continue to show her the finer things in life. For now, she is looking to be your only pup. I love learning new things and I am surprisingly I am not a fearful one, I just don’t want to be left alone. I am super social they say! I am also super curious. I want to learn about everything. But I just want to know that someone kind is near me making sure I am okay. They say I would be great with a retired person who would love to have me in his or her lap most of the day but will also hang outside with me in the backyard. I am active and athletic. I haven’t had much time to learn leash walking or “housebreaking” but poodles are so smart, so I will learn in no time.
They say I am super smart and affectionate. I just want to love you and be your forever pet. I am spayed and up to date on her vet care. To make Dolly your adoring forever daughter please visit our website www.peace4paws.org and fill out an adoption application. P.S. I snore at night. They say it’s cute!

MEET DAMU! Meet affectionate Damu, a 4 yr old, 75 pound pittie mix. He is a gorgeous white color with the most soulful eyes. The previous owner mentioned that he lived well with kids and was friendly towards dogs/cat but unfortunately had to give him up due to "no time". How sad. Damu can be timid with new people and situations so we are recommending a slow approach initially and a house with kids aged 12+. Once he warms up, he is extremely friendly and loving. Damu is a total snuggle bug and couch potato. He loves being around his family but does just well as well being left alone in the home (just sleeps all day). He is a total toy aficionado.. loves fetch and tug.
His name means "rebirth" in Greek mythology and that's the happy ending we are hoping for now that he is with Peace4Paws rescue. He needs a committed family after being bounced around from home to home through no fault of his own. Poor boy.
Damu is neutered, house broken, and up to date on all his vet care / shots. To adopt this sweetheart, please visit our website at www.peace4paws.org and fill out an application for Damu. Thanks!

Meet Buddy Meet Buddy the lover, a 6yr old, 80 lb pittbull mix who is looking for a new, quieter traffic home outside of NYC. A fenced in yard in a quieter rural or suburban area would be amazing!
Buddies likes and behaviors: - Buddy did interact with other dogs mostly during walks and family events. When at dog parks, Buddy showed very little interest in interacting with other dogs. He prefers to hang with “his person”, so a single dog home where he could get all the attention would be wonderful!
- Cuddling on the couch with owners
- Walks (1-2 miles long) and hikes of various lengths (typically not more than 5 miles)
- Plays sporadically, mostly tug, chew toys, and chancing balls
- Peanut butter, biscuits, Purina Prime Bone Chew Stick (venison), bully sticks, chicken/beef, and doggie ice cream
- He demonstrates a little fear and anxiety, highlighted during Thunderstorms and fireworks
- Very caring for all family members (looks to comfort them)
- Very gentle taking food from all family members and friends
- Understands basic commands, sit, heal, come (most of the time), stay (with re-enforcement).
He is up to date on his vet care and ready to be your forever buddy. Apply now at www.peace4paws.org. (not on your smartphone, only a computer/lap top) Thanks!!
Buddy is now at The Pet Lodge in boarding (as of 6.28.22) donations are being accepted from much appreciated sponsors.

MEET SHILOH! Shiloh, a 1.5 year old Shepherd/Hound mix, is looking for the perfect home. Currently, Shiloh is the shining star of the boarding facility where she currently has been for months. All the volunteers love her- she’s seen out and about with volunteers, going on walks and adventures. On her return back to boarding, she pulls right to the door and we are noticing she thinks boarding is her home! While we love that she has security there, we want her to re-discover life in a real loving and caring home. The perfect candidates are an adult only household, and those adults would be so lucky to have Shiloh as their new baby because she has so many wonderful attributes.
Shiloh is a burst of light and energy, a great match for active owners- ones that like to go on hikes, jogs, and perhaps swimming. (We imagine her making a major splash!) She’s a goof ball that LOVES to get her belly rubbed and give kisses, but also still has some puppiness to her and can be a bit nervous but with an owner who understands this is and is patient she is trusting. It may take some time, as she has been in boarding for quite some time- and decompression is very normal in rescue. Peace4Paws is a resource to offer help and advice. Peace4Paws believes in Shiloh’s success so much that we would like to provide a special opportunity to her and her new family.
We are looking to put Shiloh in the care of a top notch trainer in NYC, Rex, to work on her training before she goes back into her home since it’s been quite some time since she has stability in a home. Rex will board and train, and establish rules and guidelines that the owners can implement at home with success.
We would love an individual or a family who are eager and excited to learn more about dog training. Shiloh has had lots of training with her previous family. They choose to give her up one heartbreaking day because Shiloh’s energy was not being fulfilled due to change of routine going back to work and kids schedules becoming too hectic. The family was not prepared for her mouthiness that increased with her lack of exercise. Therefore, she was returned. She was then in a foster home who loved her, but was returned because the landlord would not allow a dog over 35 lbs- Shiloh is 40 lbs. This poor girl can not catch a break- and trust us, she deserves it. She is a true rescue that lives up to her name, Shiloh, meaning “His gift.” - Will you give her the gift of a forever home? She is housebroken, spayed, and up to date on all her vaccines. To give Shiloh the loving and attentive home she deserves kindly visit our website at www.peace4paws.org and fill out an adoption application. Be sure to use a computer/laptop. Thanks!!!

MEET PRINCESS TIABEANIE! My name is Princess Tiabeanie, and I am a sweet 9 year old senior brindle pittie mix. Despite being blind, deaf, and having hypothyroidism, I don't let that get in the way of enjoying life. I was rescued from the Manhattan ACC shelter in the winter when they had no heat/hot water and put out an emergency plea to Peace4Paws. Since then, I have been enjoying the good life in my loving and patient foster home. Sadly, my foster mom had surgery recently and my world has changed... I am missing my mom and routine. Could you help by adopting me? Going to my forever home would be a DREAM!
Here are the details about Princess Tiabeanie. She gets along with dogs, kids, and adults. She is on thyroid meds which isn’t a bother at all. Many dogs are on that, and it is very manageable. Plenty of Peace4Paws volunteers have dogs on thyroid meds--not a big deal. Her head tilts a little bit, and she was sometimes unsteady (may have been something like vertigo in humans) but she’s improving beautifully and can now walk up the stairs and things like that. She really is a good girl who just needs someone with a big heart and some time at home to spend with her-- maybe take her to some regular vet appointments in the beginning and then just maintenance afterward, giving her lots of love in a forever home!
She will not be spayed due to her age, but will be up to date on all shots. She will so appreciate you! To apply to foster or adopt Princess Tiabeanie, please visit our website at www.peace4paws.org and fill out an application. Thanks!

11-9-21 Update:
Ann has been in boarding at a vet hospital since October 18th and is a vet tech favorite! The techs all really love her. She really loves her people--that is what all her foster moms said. She lost her foster homes because she didn't want to share her mommy and daddy with the resident dog, but she was always good with visitors. Since she went back into boarding, she has been playing off-leash in daycare with the other dogs. The techs say she doesn't like hyper dogs or dogs that try to sniff her behind for an extended period. She has been to some adoption events with other dogs and did well, except once when another male dog who was both hyper and overly interested in sniffing her behind made her unhappy and set her off barking. We suspect that she may have been bred by an unscrupulous breeder. She appears to favor female dogs over male dogs slightly. She has been good on walks, and she has done very well with other dogs she walked beside. She is still a great exercise dog! She has a mysterious heart tattoo in her ear. She is a very loving dog. Ann is beautiful inside and out! To make Ann your forever girl please visit our website at www.peace4paws.org and fill out an adoption application. Thanks!

Meet sweet 4-year-old approx. 54-pound redbone Ann. Ann is super sweet and pretty. She is pretty good on a leash, especially for those who like to walk fast! She is a great exercise partner. She loves people and loves affection! She would be great in a home with kids over 11 years old. She is very loyal and wants to spend all her time with you when she is not sniffing around in a fenced in backyard. She knows sit and paw and loves to learn new commands. Ann is up to date on all her shots, spayed, and in very good health. To adopt this shiny beauty please visit our website at www.peace4paws.org and fill out an adoption application. Thanks!

PREFERS A HOME WITHOUT
Children
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!
