Size

Details
Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Chloe (age 12) and Zoe (age 5) are a bonded Mother / Daughter pair. They MUST be adopted together and KEPT together for life. Both very sweet and loving. Love to cuddle. Sleep well through the night. Potty trained. Good at groomers. If they are downstairs and I am upstairs they will bark until I go down to get them. Initially they both went up and down the stairs without any issues.. but the fosters stairs are wood so now they are hesitant. (They must have slipped) but stairs with rugs or non-slip runners should be ok for them Chloe, the mom still is a bit territorial.. and will growl at the fosters teen daughter, so we recommend no young children. Chloe will even growl at Zoe if she for instance jumps on her accidentally but she has never bitten or anyone or snapped .. just the growling and letting someone know she is not comfortable. Both get along fine with the fosters dogs, however they can be dominant and compete for their owner's attention so it would be better for them to be the only 2 dogs in the house. It is not mandatory... but just preferable. Chloe is more laid back and keeps more to herself, relaxing and sleeping. Zoe is a bundle of fun and playfulness. She love to play with humans, toys other dogs ... anyone! They are UTD on vaccines and vet checked and healthy. We had both of them spayed last month and Zoe had a dental as well. They are good alone during the day.. the foster can watch them on her camera when she is out and they just chill in their beds.

Fergus

Bichon Frise

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Fergus just turned 3 years old on January 2nd. He is a male Bichon, neutered, up to date on vaccines, vet checked this month, healthy, sweet and loving! He is good with kids and other small dogs (but may be timid with larger dogs). He is great for the groomer and for the boarding babysitter at her home with her kids and dogs. He will let you know when he has to go outside by standing up on his hind legs and begging. He is house trained and poo pad trained but he does sometimes leg lift a little to mark his territory, so the owner is currently keeping a belly band on him inside just in case. You would need to do the same until you are sure he is not leg lifting in your home. He loves to play with his toys both alone and with his human. He was previously crated but would get very anxious if locked in the crate when anyone leaves so it is best to NOT crate him. If you want to contain him when you leave to go out... put him in an x-pen or a gated room. The current owner inherited him about a year ago when a family member passed, but she is 75 and knows that he will most likely outlive her so she feels it would be best to rehome him now to a family or people that will keep him for life and will be able to play with him and walk him more than she is capable of. He does like to look out the window and bark at the people passing by so best for him if he was in a house (not an apt, condo or townhouse) so if he does bark it won't disturb neighbors. He is just the cutest little bundle of love and joy and someone will be very lucky to bring this sweet baby into their family!

Ashton

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 5 yrs 5 mos
Montclair, NJ
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Story
Ashton is a special boy with the coolest hazel eyes and a beautiful lab-like coat and face. Ashton is currently the longest resident at the shelter, but that does not stop him from losing hope or showing love to the volunteers. Although shy at first with new people, Ashton becomes extremely loyal and open once he gets to know you. Ashton is very smart and knows his daily routine. He is housebroken and does his business quickly on his walks. Once outside, he loves to roll around in the grass and stop for pets. Ashton’s hidden talent is that he is amazing at fetch (which not many people know). It’s his favorite activity to play in the yard, and he will play it with any toy. Ashton would do best in a low-traffic home with no young children. Ideally, his future owner is experienced and has a good vet reference. Ashton is up to date on all vaccines, neutered, and is waiting patiently to be your new best friend! Don’t count Ashton out just because he is shy! Once he opens up he is a lovely pup!

Story
Orlando is the funniest looking wookie boy. He has the biggest, wrinkliest head, big body, and adorable stubby tail. Additionally, Orlando’s coat is the softest thing ever. He is like a very fluffy bulldog! What could get better than that? Orlando is a young dog with a lot of energy. He is also very affectionate and an absolute sweetheart. He loves to play outside, and absolutely loves the water (especially on hot summer days). He loves to get sprayed with the hose, as he tries to bite the water, and enjoys standing in baby pools to cool off. He also adores treats and toys. Orlando enjoys being outside and going for walks. He has gotten better on a leash, but could still use some gentle training to help with puppy tendencies. He also knows basic commands like sit, and is a smart boy. Although Orlando loves people, he would need to be an only pet. His exact age isn’t known but he is young, neutered, and up to date on all vaccines! Orlando would love to be your new wookie best friend! Please inquire about a possible foster to adopt!
