1. Clementine
If you see this listing, it means Clementine is available for adoption. We take our time to find the ideal match for the Animal Saints we save, as well as for the humans who wish to adopt them.
Backstory for Clementine
Animal Saints Rescue Society was asked to help with an owner surrender involving several "Imperial" Shih Tzu. Their former person was having emergency medical issues that were life threatening, and they were not well enough to take care of them. Our nonprofit became the safety net for these incredible Shih Tzu.
Read more about Clementine
Our nonprofit is here to help so the Animal Saints do not end up in overcrowded government animal control facilities that euthanize due to lack of space. Clementine recently arrived to our sanctuary to get all of the medical care she needs. Now that we have gotten to know her personality and she has shown us what she needs in a family, she is ready to be placed in her lifetime home. We look forward to finding out who this will be!

Spayed in June, 2026

A good health certificate will be provided with her medical records.

Breed and Hair Notes
Clementine has hair and not fur. She is a very rare "Imperial" Shih Tzu with liver and cream hues. She is full grown and tiny. Some are guessing she has a bit of Pekingese in the mix. Whatever she is, she's amazing and one-of-a-kind.
PLEASE NOTE: Clementine’s hair will grow as it is not fur. She will need professional grooming every 4-6 weeks. Only apply if you understand the additional maintenance and cost these dear hair-not-fur souls need and are willing to commit to life for such care.
Clementine is terrific for baths and grooming. She’s had a few since arriving. She was frightened at first, but now she loves the attention. An adopter who loves to maintain her longer hair is an ideal match.
Personality
Clementine is incredibly sweet but incredibly shy. Once she trusts someone, her loyalty, love, and exuberance for life is so impressive and moving. Her eagerness to connect is there, but please note that this connection will take time. It’s possible that it will take a least a couple of visits to our sanctuary before she connects with her new person. If you are an empathetic soul and can completely understand that this will take time with her personality, please keep reading.
It appears that Clementine has not met very many people in her life. She is under socialized and skittish. Because of it, she is a flight risk. Only very securely fenced-in yards will be accepted for her. Do not plan to take her for a walk safely until you’ve completed all of your training classes. She is just getting comfortable being outside; she’s not yet ready for leashed walking. In time, we can see her potentially enjoying it. But it will take time and patience to allow her to gain confidence.
If you live in an urban setting and fall in love with Clementine, please note that it will take weeks and even months before she is comfortable with the sights and sounds of city life. With a very experienced adopter, this could be possible. But we do believe she will be much calmer and hap

Get to Know Daisy
Name meaning: represents light, purity, and quiet resilience. Daisy is an apt name for this extraordinary Animal Saint.
age: 3 years young with a birthdate of 3.22.2022
breed: Shih Tzu
weight: 7-7.5 pounds
Vaccines:
Rabies
DHPP
Bordetella
Corona/flu
Other Tests and Procedures:
Spayed in June, 2026
Snap 4Dx test (passed and tested negative for heart worm, lyme, ehrlichia, and anaplasmosis)
Dental cleaning in June, 2026
Bloodwork June, 2026 - Slightly elevated level in a couple of numbers, most likely due to arriving with flea bites and scabs. She has been treated, and her skin has healed. Everything else is within normal range and shows healthy organs.
Additional procedures and treatments:
• Microchipped
• Fecal test, negative
• Flea/tick preventive treatment, heart worm prevention, and dewormer
• First positive reinforcement training sessions
• Several baths and grooms
A good health certificate, as well as a certificate of veterinary inspection, is provided with her medical records.
Requested adoption donation fee is only $800. This is to partly cover the costs of care that our 501(c)(3) nonprofit animal rescue has incurred. On average, Animal Saints’ cost to save a life through our nonprofit exceeds $2,000 per Saint. We do our best to keep our adoption requests as reasonable as possible to encourage more people to adopt.
Breed and Hair Notes
Daisy has hair and not fur. She is a very rare Imperial Shih Tzu with black and tan dobie markings.
Daisy is full grown and very small, one of the smallest Shih Tzu we have helped.
PLEASE NOTE: Daisy’s hair will grow as it is not fur. She will need professional grooming every 4-6 weeks. Only apply if you understand the additional maintenance and cost these dear hair-not-fur souls need and are willing to commit to life for such care.
Daisy was very frightened for baths when she first arrived. Now, she’s calm in them after having several since coming into our care. She had to be shaved down when she first arrived. Her hair is now long enough for haircuts, and she is great about them. She does well for trims, and she wags her tail through them.
Personality
Daisy is sweet, spunky, and especially special. She is shy and skittish initially around people she does not yet know. She is very ready to connect, though. We believe that with training and time, she will gain confidence and enjoy meeting new humans.
Daisy has a spring in her step and a joy for life. She loves to talk when she gets excited, and she has a great dance every time her morning and evening meals are served.
Daisy needs a person/family who is willing to meet her where she is in her progress. At this point, she’s not the kind of girl who will just jump in a new person’s lap right away. She is very sweet and is in want of attention and hugs once she knows and trusts a person. But getting to that point takes time. Gaining her trust is a gift, and she needs someone who appreciates how special it is to connect with an Animal Saint in this way.
Because of Daisy’s current shyness and skittishness, she is a flight risk. This means that she needs training and time before going out on a harness and leash for a walk. If you live in a noisy urban area,

Breed and Hair Notes
Marigold has hair and not fur. She is a very rare Dobie Imperial Shih Tzu. She is full grown and tiny — one of the smallest Shih Tzu we have ever helped.
PLEASE NOTE: Marigold’s hair will grow as it is not fur. She will need professional grooming every 4-6 weeks. Only apply if you understand the additional maintenance and cost these dear hair-not-fur souls need and are willing to commit to life for such care.
Marigold is so gentle for baths and grooming. She’s had a few since arriving. She actually just laid down on the grooming table for her last trim. She wagged her tail and loved the attention!
Personality
Marigold is a little sprite filled with joy and love. She is shy at first, but she is usually faster to connect with humans than her sister named Clementine. Once she feels at ease, her tail will wag nonstop, and she’ll even do a little dance of excitement. She loves attention from humans, and she’s so excited about connecting with them.
It appears that Marigold has not met very many people in her life. She is under socialized and a bit skittish. Because of it, she is a flight risk. Only very securely fenced-in yards will be accepted for her. Do not plan to take her for a walk safely until you’ve completed all of your training classes. She is just getting comfortable being outside; she’s not yet ready for leashed walking. In time, we can see her potentially enjoying it. But it will take time, patience, and training to allow her to gain confidence.
If you live in the city and fall in love with Marigold, please note that it may take weeks before she is comfortable with the sights and sounds of an urban setting. With a very experienced adopter, this could be possible. Her temperament demands a quiet and steady home.
Marigold gravitates toward hanging out with her sister (from a different litter) named Clementine. It is not imperative to adopt them together if we find extraordinary homes for them separately, but it would be a special gift for them to live together. We also observe Marigold finding a quiet place to nap on her own at times. She can be indepen

Arriving 10/25 in NJ
Zeeke is a handsome 1-year-old Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler mix weighing about 26 pounds.

Zeeke has not yet been tested with children or cats, so those introductions are still unknown. He would love an active family who will give him plenty of attention, exercise, and guidance as he continues to grow into the wonderful young dog he is meant to be.

Sterling still has plenty of puppy in him! He's playful, energetic, super friendly, and loves being around people. He's doing great with kids and would make a wonderful addition to a family looking for a fun, affectionate companion. There is no known history of aggression.
Read more about Sterling
He also seems to be doing well with house training! He's only been with his current caregivers for a few days, but so far, he hasn't had any accidents in the house. Since he's still adjusting to a new environment, his caregivers are keeping him on a tie-out when he's outside.
Sterling's coat was recently shaved quite short, but promises to have his handsome curls! As his coat grows back, he'll be even more of a head-turner.
Sterling arrives in New Jersey on November 15!
Now is the perfect time to apply so you can be ready to welcome this sweet boy home.
This sweet boy deserves a chance to be loved, cared for, and included in a family. Could you be the one to give Sterling the happy ending he deserves?

16. Snuggles
Meet Snuggles, the affectionate 3 year-old, 48-pound lab mix with a heart as big as her name suggests. Coming all the way from Mississippi, Snuggles spent her entire life thus far in a shelter until fate smiled upon her and she found herself rescued by Peace4Paws, where she was finally embraced by a loving foster family. This is her first taste of what a real home feels like, and she's thriving in the warmth of companionship.
Read more about Snuggles
Socialization is second nature to Snuggles, who happily interacts with her sister and other dogs, wagging her tail in delight at every new friend she makes. Her love extends to people too, showering them with kisses and hugs, eager to bond with her newfound human companions. She loves being around the presence of children and would thrive as a family dog.
Initially timid upon arriving in New Jersey, Snuggles has blossomed with patience and care. Richie from Greta Trains Dogs attests to her remarkable transformation, noting how she quickly shed her nervousness to embrace trust and adjust to her new surroundings.
Despite spending considerable time in pens and kennels, Snuggles maintains her playful spirit, finding joy in outdoor adventures and car rides alike. Now, she seeks a second chance at a life beyond the four walls of her former enclosure, yearning for the love and stability only a forever family can provide.
Rest assured, Snuggles is spayed, fully vetted, and up to date on all her shots, boasting a clean bill of health according to reports and observations. If you're ready to open your heart and home to this sweet soul, visit https://peace4paws.org/adoption-application from your laptop or computer. Snuggles can't wait to embark on this new chapter of her life with you.

She's sugar with a little spice and oh so nice. The perfect mix of "adventure buddy" and "couch potato." Whether it’s a rainy hike or a sunny jog, this girl is all-weather, all-terrain, and always ready to go! She’s even mastering the treadmill for those extra chilly days.
Read more about Snow
When not outside exploring, she loves to be close to her people. Any chance for extra pets, cuddles, or toy time. But when the sun goes down? Snow is all about the "self-care." She loves wearing her favorite jammies, getting a little lotion, and settling in for a calm night.
Why you’ll love her:
•
Pro Student: She is incredibly eager to learn and highly food motivated (even for frozen green beans!). She already knows Sit, Down, Paw, Off, Wave, Spin, and even Get Dressed (putting on her harness). Working on choice games and combo sets.
•
Walking Partner: She’s well-behaved on a leash with her head harness and is the perfect size for a jogging companion.
•
House Manners: She’s crate-trained, calm indoors, has impeccable potty behaviors, and even working on her dental hygiene!
Her perfect match: Snow is a thinker who thrives on learning games as well as a cuddlebug who thrives on affection. She’s currently practicing her social skills at doggy daycare and can be selective with dog friends. She needs a human, or two, who will continue her training journey. While she gets excited to meet new people, she does best with a slow, respectful introduction to feel her best.
Could you be the one to open your home and heart to Snow? She’s ready for her second chance and will reward you with endless love and loyalty. To adopt or foster, please apply at www.peace4paws.org/adoption-application from a laptop or computer.

18. Rune
Meet Rune, a 2-year-old male pit bull terrier mix with a gentle heart and a resilient spirit. He is brown and white, weighs about 60 pounds, and has a sturdy, lovable presence that quickly grows on you.
Rune can be timid when he first meets new people or enters new spaces, but once he feels safe, his true personality shines through. He becomes a happy-go-lucky love bug who enjoys affection, curiosity-driven exploring, and especially his cookies. He loves being near his people and soaking up attention at his own comfortable pace.
Read more about Rune
Rune has a neurological condition that can occasionally cause him to lose his balance and flop to the floor. It may look surprising at first, but Rune takes it in stride. He pops right back up and carries on with his adventure, undeterred and upbeat. His plucky attitude and determination are part of what make him so special.
Rune would do best with a patient, understanding adopter who can offer him kindness, consistency, and a soft spot to land. In return, he offers loyalty, sweetness, and a whole lot of heart. If you are looking for a resilient companion with a gentle soul and an affectionate nature, Rune may be the perfect match.

19. Rubix
Meet Rubix - a lovable, playful two-year-old mixed breed weighing 59 lbs. Rescued from NYCACC, his past remains a mystery, but we believe he once had a special boy in his life whom he dearly misses. He’s particularly drawn to his teenage foster brother, showcasing the affectionate bond he can form with older kids. One thing is for sure and his foster family can attest to this: he makes a wonderful companion.
Read more about Rubix
Known for his bright personality, Rubix is an absolute sweetheart and so smart with an impressive command of tricks. He responds to commands like sit, down, settle, wait, search, drop it, and is a jokester who can even play dead! He’s house trained and will let you know when it’s time to go outside (and boy does he love playing outdoors). Whether he’s cuddling up for a nap like a full-body pillow with the nearest human or racing around the yard, Rubix brings joy to everyone around him. At the heart of it all, he simply just loves to be loved.
This sweet boy is perfect for a family with older kids or empty nesters who can appreciate his energy and love for play. He adores other dogs and enjoys playing with them, though he may need an active family familiar with larger breeds (though in his head, he thinks he's a little guy not aware of his size). Rubix is the quintessential pup who loves toys and is always ready for adventure—whether it’s hiking, beach days, or jogging alongside you.
If you’re looking for a loyal companion who thrives on love and play, Rubix is your guy! Let’s give him the fresh start he’s been dreaming of. Apply today to adopt Rubix at https://peace4paws.org/adoption-application using a computer or laptop. Together, we can make a difference for this amazing pup.
Not able to adopt right now? You can still make a difference in Rubix’s life! Fostering is another wonderful way to help, or you can donate toward Rubix’s care while he waits for his forever family. Every bit of support helps us give sweet dogs like Rubix the love and care they deserve.

Adopting a dog in Tuxedo
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
