This smart girl is already learning her manners. She's been taught to sit and wait for permission before eating, and she knows commands like “sit,” “move,” “yes,” and “no.” She's food motivated, eager to please, and has all the makings of a wonderful student. Of course, she's still a puppy, so she'll need continued guidance, patience, and consistency as she learns the ropes.

She's friendly with new people, gets along with other dogs and children, and could make a lovely addition to a family. Her compatibility with cats is currently unknown. Denim is not yet housetrained, so her new family should be prepared for all the usual puppy training, including housebreaking.
Denim is currently with one of our partner rescues in Mississippi, waiting for a foster or adopter to step up and help bring her to New Jersey. If you're looking for a sweet, clever companion who will keep you company and make sure no household activity goes unexplained, Denim may be your girl!
Denim is up to date on vaccines and tested negative for heartworm. Denim has been spayed and has a microchip. Her adoption fee is $600.
Adopting a dog is a commitment that will require annual veterinary care at a minimum, training, exercise, enrichment, etc. Pet care is not cheap or easy and adopters should consider the costs, time and training prior to adoption.

All dogs are located in NY/NJ area All our puppies need puppy play dates/doggy facetime so we recommend homes with other pups or daily interactions to keep them tired out, happy and social.
Facebook: Zani's Furry Friends ZFF (weekly adoption event info posted there) Twitter: zanisff Instagram: zanisfurryfriends
Dogs are spayed/neutered, UTD on age appropriate vaccines, Rabies vaxed, and microchipped (not Lyme vaxed but we seriously recommend it!) All are in the NY/NJ area but we will adopt out of state to the purrfect home and in some cases, we can arrange transport. Please go to our site https://zanisfurryfriends.org fill out an application
Many of us (cats/dogs) will be on display on Saturdays or Sundays, weather dependent--please ask by writing us at dogs@zanisfurryfriends.org and following us on FB. If you are seriously interested in adopting one of us in particular, please fill out an application early Friday so that we can be sure to be there. Otherwise we decide based on other variables. Usually we are in our foster homes so this is a bit more stressful and a slightly artificial environment but we do want to be seen and find our furever homes too.
Please consider providing a home for more than one dog, especially if you are considering adopting a puppy. Dogs are pack animals and very much enjoy as well as need other dog company to learn to play, socialize and be good companion animals to people. The upside to this is that you won't feel as guilty leaving them alone and you get twice the love. Please come! And if you can't adopt, maybe you can foster or volunteer, and you can always donate!

Young · Male · Poodle (Miniature) / Mixed · 25 mi from Perth Amboy




Gremlin (AL) has officially retired from his previous career as a neglected backyard ornament and is now accepting applications for a much more prestigious position: Beloved Family Dog. At just 3 years old, this dark and handsome Miniature Poodle mix has movie-star looks hidden beneath his current "I-woke-up-like-this" shelter makeover. Don't worry, Gremlin is safely in rescue now and headed for a glow-up that may cause excessive compliments, neighborhood envy, and spontaneous declarations of "Who's and a handsome boy?!" Despite not having the easiest start in life, Gremlin somehow skipped the grumpy chapter entirely.

Now he's ready for soft beds, belly rubs, adventure walks, and a family that sees the wonderful dog he's always deserved to be. Apply online to adopt Gremlin (AL) at www.rescuedogsrocknyc.org.

18. Scar and Bubba
Adult (3 years 4 months) · Male · American Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 22 mi from Perth Amboy



Bubba and Scar are with our partner rescue in Mississippi and can catch a ride to NJ with an approved adopter or foster. These brothers MUST be fostered and/or adopted together.
Two. Together.
Scar and Bubba need someone very special. Someone willing to see two boys who deserve a chance—and a life together.
Found together, these boys share an incredibly deep bond. We don’t know whether they’re biological brothers, but we know they’re family. Wherever Bubba goes, Scar is right beside him.
Read more about Scar and Bubba
Bubba, the gray-blue boy, is the more outgoing half of this duo. He loves every dog he’s met, including puppies, and is great with kids. He walks beautifully on a leash and is mostly a calm, chill guy with a curious streak and a love of exploring.
Scar, the gray-and-white boy, is quieter and takes his confidence from Bubba. He follows his buddy’s lead and sticks close to his side. He’s great with other dogs, has done well with older kids, and both boys were wonderful with the people they met at an adoption event.
Their wish list comes with a few nonnegotiables:
• A foster or adoptive home together—Scar especially depends on Bubba.
• A secure, 6-foot fence and supervised yard time. Bubba can climb fences, so he cannot be left outside alone, even in a fenced yard.
• Someone ready to help them through heartworm treatment. Both boys are heartworm-positive.
We know it’s a big ask. Two bonded pit bulls, specific fencing needs, and heartworm treatment—that’s a lot standing between them and a home. But none of it makes them any less deserving.
Somewhere out there, we hope there’s a person who has room for two—and understands why, for these boys, one without the other simply won’t do.
Bubba and Scar will be up to date vaccines and are being treated for heartworm. They are both neutered and microchipped. Their adoption fee is $900.
Adopting a dog is a commitment that will require annual veterinary care at a minimum, training, exercise, enrichment, etc. Pet care is not cheap or easy and adopters should consider the costs, time and training prior to adoption. After all these dogs have been through, they deserve a loving, committed home.

Why adopt an adult dog in Perth Amboy
An adult dog's personality is fully formed, so the rescue can tell you how they are with people, other pets and busy households. Many have lived in foster homes and are already house-trained.
Grown dogs need less supervision than puppies and often know the basics, like sitting and walking on a leash, which suits people who work or have young children.
