MEET ABIGAIL! Meet sweet petite beagle Abigail, age 5 and weighing only 20 pounds. She is an affectionate little hound girl who loves to be by your side. She is being surrendered from her home she shared with a retired couple after six months because they said she "wants to go for walks too often, is anxious when they are not home, jumps on furniture even though they say 'no' and howls often." Regarding this possible howling tendency (it will vary depending on where/with whom Abigail is living), we will not adopt her into an apartment setting. Most families we know like having their dogs on the furniture with them; if that is you, Abigail will gladly sit next to you. She would be great with an active family and young kids are great for her too. She was wonderful with the family's two-year-old granddaughter. She would be wonderful with a family with kids. She would also do very well as a part of a beagle/hound pack of dogs. She loves other dogs--She would cuddle with them and hunt in a fenced area with them as well if given the chance. She would do very well with a doggy door. And of course, she would love to go on walks with you or you and your other dogs. She is "somewhat leash trained and somewhat housebroken" they said. So Abigail will need some gentle, patient training and lots of love during her next decompression period. Abigail is up to date on all her shots, spayed, and ready to go home and be your forever dog. To adopt Abigail please visit our website at www.peace4paws.org and fill out an adoption application. Thanks!

MEET COWBOY! Meet sweet mild mannered beagle boy Cowboy! This 25 pound, approximately 4-year-old tricolor guy is super friendly—he loves people. He gets along well with dogs and ignores cats. He is also pretty laid back and snuggly. He likes to play too. There was a "forever family" that was going to adopt him upon his arrival on January 9th, but when they found out he had a heart murmur they dropped him. And when we found out he had a heart murmur (which is not uncommon), we simply said we will get him the meds he needs, and he will live a long life with those meds. Of course, we are still bringing him in from Kentucky. We love this guy! We are looking forward to placing with a loving family who has experience with beagles and a fenced in backyard. He hasn't had much training including housebreaking so that is something to be prepared for as well. Training may not be for everyone but is usually a part of most rescue dogs' upbringing. So, we appreciate your desire to help. He will be up to date on his shots but not neutered due to the heart murmur. To adopt Cowboy, please visit our website at www.peace4paws.org and fill out an adoption application. Thanks!

MEET BAXTER! Meet sweet Plott Hound/Boxer mix Baxter. Baxter was found as a stray approximately three months ago by a Kentucky rescuer. Sadly, his owner never came forward. Baxter appears to be seven years old or so. He is on the smaller side at approximately 40 pounds. Baxter does well with dogs his size and larger. He hasn’t been around small dogs yet. As always, introductions in a home should be very slow and decompression time allowed. We know Baxter is not cat friendly--he chases them. While in foster in KY, Baxter was being housed in an outdoor kennel. Although his basic needs were met, he was very lonely. Nothing would make him more content than to spend all day with his person. He wants to be with you at all times. He would do well with a doggy door and a fenced in backyard to frolic around in. He loves exercise and will be a good calorie burning dog on a walk with you. He is very smart so he will learn/relearn basic commands quickly. He is very friendly and loves to please. He will be up to date on all his shots and neutered by the time he arrives to Peace4Paws in New Jersey. To adopt Baxter, please visit our website at www.peace4paws.org and fill out an adoption application. Thanks so much!

MEET LOLITA! Meet Lolita! She is a one-year-old female Mountain Cur mix that was picked up as a stray, so we have no long history on her.

She will be up to date on all her shots and spayed upon arrival in NJ. She is good with kids. We don’t know if she gets along with cats at this time or whether she is housebroken, but she is very smart and will learn quickly. She will be a great companion dog.

MEET JAC!
12-28-21 VOLUNTEER UPDATE
Many volunteers have been walking Jac. He is so appreciative. He has one volunteer Emma who is also a trainer who is super proud of him. She always has him walk at her side. He will stop at the corner before crossing the street. He looks at her for direction while they walk. He also knows down and paw! He will make a great pet in the right home. He is so happy when any of the volunteers come to meet him. He has been in boarding for over two months and really deserves a foster or forever home!!
12-18-21 VOLUNTEER UPDATE:
Jac is so gentle when it comes to taking cheese and other foods. He sits and waits patiently. He loves crunching water bottles--it makes him leap with glee! He is good on a leash. He is currently in boarding and he interacts well with other dogs in doggy day care; there he is good with dogs his own size and energy level. Jac is very sweet and would make a great pet!
12-12-21 UPDATE:
Jac is a super sweet boy who really deserves a family who understands him. This 4½ year old German shepherd/chow mix (he has the chow blue tongue) weighs approximately 65 pounds. He is super friendly and loves people. He really misses living in a home. When the volunteers take him to a home for a play date he gets so happy and rolls over on the rug and after a while just settles in. Back in boarding he is good all day long, very quiet and just lays there in his kennel unless someone takes him for a walk. All the staff at the Westwood Regional Veterinary Hospital (where he has been boarded) say he is a very good dog! He starts out pulling on the walk, and he will react to other dogs, but after a long walk he just walks at your side. If he were in a home getting regular exercise that would be different. Lately Jac can sometimes be a little mouthy, so we don’t recommend him for young children, especially hyper kids, since that behavior is often misunderstood, and it could be corrected once he is with a committed family. For whatever reason, we don’t know, Jac is afraid of a brush and is terrified of being groomed. His previous family said that for that reason he is not allowed at Petco grooming. We had his beautiful fur washed by the vet hospital--they gave him a mild sedative before grooming him. His grooming fear is not his fault. He has been afraid of motorcycles and dump trucks according to his previous foster, but that was not noted on any of the walks his volunteers took him on. We would like to adopt him to a home with no other dogs since he is dog reactive, and preferably a little quieter. He would love a fenced in backyard to sniff around in. He does appear to have a high prey drive. He is a strong and beautiful dog that would be a very loyal family member and best friend. To adopt Jac, please visit our website at www.peace4paws.org and fill out an application. Thanks!
=======================================================================================================
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!!!

MEET PRINCESS TIABEANIE! This sweet natured 9-year-old Princess of a girl, who gets along great with dogs and people would so appreciate a warm and loving foster or forever home. She is a gentle loving brindle pit mix weighing 71 pounds. She urgently needs a warm home because our partner ACC’s Manhattan Care Center is without heat and hot water in most of the building. As the temperatures continue to drop, these issues have severely limited their ability to humanely house the animals in their care. In response, they need to immediately reduce the population housed in rooms without heat in Manhattan until these issues are resolved. They have asked us to please pull any dog, cat, guinea pig, or rabbit (or other exotics/wildlife!). You can see the animals available for placement by visiting www.nycacc.org and selecting “adopt” from the menu at the top.
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 while in a foster or forever home! She will of course be spayed and up to date on all shots by the time she arrives here in New Jersey. She will so appreciate you!

Betty Jane plays so well with sweet Gracie. Her foster Judy says it is the cutest thing ever. Betty Jane is just so sweet and friendly. She has beautiful soulful eyes that don't quite show up in regular smartphone pictures but she is so special. She just has an aura of love and genuine interest in you. She would be great with kids over 11. She would be great with just one other person in the house too. Someone Betty Jane gets overlooked but maybe that is because that special someone just wasn't ready for her yet. This dog is not to be missed. Call Judy to make an appointment to meet her at 2016645593.

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!

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!
