Meet Bella, a beautiful 6 year old, 50lb female pittie mix. Bella was rescued from an abusive situation at a young age and has come such a long way. She is a docile girl who would do wonderfully in a quiet home with no other animals or children - this gal just wants to be the queen of her castle. She is eager to please her person and just wants love and affection. Cuddled up on the couch getting pets or chewing on her bones is when she’s happiest.
Unfortunately Bella’s current family has learned she is not good with children the hard way and they have a toddler and a new baby on the way and it is no longer a safe situation. It has resorted to Bella needing to be separated and they feel it’s not fair to her and want her to live the rest of her life happy in a home she can be comfortable and not stressed out by children.
She is crate and potty trained and knows basic commands such as sit, stay, come, cage, paw and go lay down. She’s weary of new comers due to her past but once she knows they’re okay with her person she will happily walk up to them for some affection. Bella has been around many foster puppies and has a male dog that she lives with well… slow introductions are key to her heart.
She is spayed, UTD on all vaccines and recently had her teeth cleaned ! To apply, visit www.peace4paws.org. Thanks!!

Meet Blue! He is a handsome ~6-8yr+, ~60lb staffy mix who is dog and cat friendly, and lived well with a teenager before. Sadly, his prior owner gave him up due to financial difficulties.
Blue is a friendly, affectionate, playful, confident, and happy dog. Oh and super goofy! Some of his previous owner's favorite things about him are that he is very playful/energetic but is also SO cuddly/chill. Blue loves balls and frisbees, fetch, and tug - what a fun guy! Blue is house trained and when left alone in the house is well behaved. He knows sit and heel commands. For exercise, he is used to slow walks on leash, running/jogging, and playing in the yard. Could make a good apartment or house dog - unphased by NYC chaos/sounds!
His foster writes, “Blue loves having a full house of dog and cat foster siblings. He does this adorable howl when the snacks come out, especially peanut butter! And loves to cuddle on the couch.”
He is neutered and up to date on vet care, including a recent dental which gives him an adorable smile! Apply at www.Peace4Paws.org using a computer (we don’t get cellphone apps) to adopt Blue. Thanks!!

Meet Cinnamon! A mixed breed female who is 60 lbs. Though she is listed as 5 years old due to her teeth, we feel she is more 2 -3 years old based on her energy and agility. She is so loving and loves to cuddle up and be a big ol lap dog. Based on her looks, she seems she is mixed with pit and a hound. 100% pure breed wonderful gal!
Through social media shares, Cinnamon's story was learned. It's a sad one- she was loved and cherished by her original family. The family fell on hard times and asked their family member to care for Cinnamon's and her previous litter. The family member wound up being abusive, and killed a few of her puppies. Sissy escaped along with a few puppies. Unfortunately, there is no proof that the puppies survived. Sissy was found pregnant looking desperately for food. The Knox Whitley Shelter in Corbin, KY cared for her the best they could. She went into a foster, delivered her puppies, and ventured to NJ! She's been in foster for quite some time is patiently waiting her home new home.
Cinnamon is up to date on all vaccines, spayed, and ready to find her furever home! After all she has been through, she would love to be the queen of your castle as the only pet. Visit peace4paws.org on your computer for application (we do not receive smartphone apps).
Foster Update:
She's awesome! Cinnamon is a loving, affectionate young lady who has never had the opportunity to be the spoiled, pampered pet she deserves to be. She's playful and energetic.Her very favorite things are squeaky toys, large dog sized tennis balls and back scratches. She has been working on walking on a leash and has done wonderfully with that skill.She can sit on command, stay, and down with food motivation. Cinnamon really loves to lay on the bed next to her favored person.

Meet 1yr old, 27lb beagle mix Coby. He was given up for barking and howling too much in a city apartment. Poor dog, can we find him a beagle experienced person or family with kids 13+? He apprears to be friendly with other dogs (cats unknown)!
Coby is described as a friendly, playful, and very energetic dog. Some of his previous owner's favorite things about him are that he loves to play and is good with kids. When you're home, he tends to follow you around. He likes balls and squeaky toys. He likes chase, tug, and alerting/barking. He has been kept indoors only. He sleeps in his bed or in his cage. He eats both wet and dry food. His favorite treat is bacon. He is reported to be very house trained. He has been crate trained and does well for 2 hours. He knows stay command. For exercise, he is used to slow walks on leash.
Coby is looking for a patient family as he can be anxious in new settings and doesn’t always like to share his bones or toys. However, he has no issues when someone touches his food or bowl while eating.
He is UTD on vaccines. To apply, visit www.peace4paws.org. Thanks

Meet the most eligible bachelor ONION. He is a handsome 3yr, 67lb bully. This dude is a major foodie who loves treats! Don't forget to pick him up on your way to the grocery store! ??
We don’t know much about him as he was found as a stray. However, we do know that he is absolutely a delicious house hippo. He has a beautiful velvety grey/brown coat. Loves carrying toys and sticks in his mouth. And those blue eyes ??OMG!
On a walk with a volunteer, Onion was social and friendly with strangers but at the shelter has been fearful. We can tell he will be an absolute LOVE bug when he opens up. He likes hiking, walks on the beach, and playing with toys. He is housebroken and does well on car rides. At the shelter, he did great greeting another dog with a soft and wiggly body.
To apply to foster to adopt, visit www.peace4paws.org. Thanks!!

Meet Shadow, a 2yr lab/shephard mix who is dog friendly and very affectionate.
Very sad story - we got a call from a woman who is calling on behalf of her boss who is away. The boss and his family got a dog a couple of years ago and now the dog is at Westwood Vet in boarding and Westwood Vet gave her Peace4Paws number because boss wanted to euthanize the dog…. Dog is perfectly healthy. But just not the right fit for his high traffic home. The dog always has been shy and skittish and with 2 teenagers and all their friends coming and going.
Poor dog is miserable, can you help save him? He is very loving, follows you from room to room. To adopt or foster this sweet pup, apply at www.peace4paws.org. Thanks!
