Story
My name is Alonzo. I am about 2.5 years old and 60 lbs. I am a mix of Black Mouth Cur, maybe some Lab and a few other things. I am a very very cool dog. Here are the cool things about me: 1) I love all people and have been friendly with men women and kids! I even hung out with a 4 year old and did great. I knew my boundaries and was very interested in hanging out with him. 2) I am good with other dogs. I live with three others - all different genders and ages. 3) I am housebroken and I am crate-trained. I don't love the crate but I have been doing well left alone when my foster people are gone! 4) I am active and walk well on leash. I love going on walks! I would be a great jogger (if trained) and hiker. I am not dog reactive. 5) I like the baby pool so who knows - I could even like swimming in open water which would be fun. The only thing that may not be agreeable to some is I might be a little too feisty with our feline friends... but, I mean, every dog has to have something right? Please reach out to ASCZ to meet me! I promise I won't disappoint! I AM LOCAL to Northeast adopters!! https://asecondchanceforziva.org/adopt/adoption-process-application/

Story
My name is Angel! I am an 80lb cream-colored lab mix beauty. I have had a bunch of siblings get rescue by ASCZ and now I am rounding up the last of my litter. (We all have to wait our turn sometimes.). My siblings have been such wonderful family dogs and I expect I will be the same. I am about 11 months and a goofy, playful but mild-mannered girl. I will be a little hesitant at first, especially around new humans but I am curious and I want to trust! I have been well behaved with every dog I have encountered - big and small. I am a pretty good leash walker also for being so new. I am medium energy - I love to play but I am also pretty chill. We are unsure about cats but we would bet I have been around plenty of them in my journey. Kids 8+ as we haven't seen my exposure to little ones.

Story
My name is Macy. I am one of three sisters. I am 70 lbs and about a year old. I might fill out and get to about 80 lbs; I was thin and malnourished when found with my sisters but it didn’t take me long to feel better and put the weight back on. We believe I am a mix of Akbash and Hound… although my face looks a little labby. Out of the three of us, I am the most affectionate. I am very focused on my foster mom when I see her, I want to be the first one to say hi! I do have to work on my jumping… I jump to hug if you know what I mean. I just want to be close. I am playful and I love to romp with the other dogs. I will need to work a bit on my indoor manners and my housebreaking when I get to my new home. Just going to be part of my growing up! I haven’t been around kids under 8 nor cats in an indoor environment. But, I have absolutely loved the 9 year old human that runs around with us! She's super fun. A fenced in yard is required for me.

Story
My name is Rock - I am super cool so I can totally 'rock' that name. I am a 60 lb, 1 year old young adult. I am a black mouth cur mix with some hefty ears. I could have also some boxer, shepherd and/or terrier among my breed mix. I am active and ready to go wherever my humans will take me. I walk well on leash (I am a strong young guy though) and I know basic commands. I am definitely the type of dog that is eager to learn. I am also eager to swim (or at least wade in the baby pool).! I have many dog friends in my home and if one gets tired of playing, I move on to the next! Kids 10+ would be appropriate to me because I am a bit of a bull in a china shop. I have seen cats only outside and I don't chase, but I do bark. My favorite toys are my old shoe and I love sticks. I know "sit" and I love to get love from my humnans. 2025 is my year - we know it! I am looking for a foster or an adopter in. NJ and surrounding areas! Fenced in yard required.

My name is Gucci. I am one of three sisters. I am 70 lbs and about a year old. I might fill out and get to about 80 lbs; I was thin and malnourished when found with my sisters but it didn’t take me long to feel better and put the weight back on. We believe I am a mix of Akbash (kind of like the cousin of a Great Pyrenees) and Hound… although my face looks a little labby. Out of the three of us, I am right in the middle of in your face and aloof! I am definitely affectionate but I can keep all four on the floor for the most part (unlike Macy!). I have a beautiful bushy tail so we think I have the most guardian breed between us. I am playful and I love to romp with the other dogs. I will need to work a bit on my indoor manners and my housebreaking when I get to my new home. Just going to be part of my growing up! I haven’t been around younger kids nor cats in an indoor environment BUT I have loved the visits from our 9 year old human. She's so much fun to run around with! A fenced in yard is required for me. I am going to be a medium energy girl who will love some activity but also will love to lounge!
