Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. BEN IS STILL SEARCHING FOR HIS FOREVER HOME AT RESCUE RIDGE. Here is an update from his foster mom: "He walks twice a day. Does not pull so have not used that gentle lead thing that they wrapped around his nose. He eats dry food but I add a few tasty morsels. We have taken him to pet stores and he sees other dogs but is not interested. One got in his face and he looked annoyed but no aggression. H e barks outside on occasion sleeps on the couch during the day and snuggles between us in bed at night. Overall he is perfect. He does need a lot of exercise but that’s usually a plus I’m teaching him things a dog should know like fetch and lay down. He’s so smart. Has a purple tongue. I think he’s a Basenji/ Chow mix. But he’s perfect. Just an update if someone’s looking for a great dog. So Ben says Hi. He is actually the funniest dog I have ever had. When he wants something he talks to you and if you don’t do what he wants he grabs your blanket and tries to remove it. What a fun guy." Please apply to adopt adorable, funny, loyal and loving Ben at Rescueridge.com and then text 732 546 8805 to meet him. He is in a foster home in central NJ. Ben is 6 yrs. old, possibly a Staffordshire Terrier mix. We also see the Basenji in him.     (Ben the 2 of us need look no more we both found what we been looking for.) That's what Ben would like to hear you say, At about 6 years old this handsome boy is looking for his furever home. Walks beautifully on a gentle leader so no pulling for him or you. Loves people and gets excited when he meets someone new. All your friends will feel special. Ok with other dogs but just not the playing type. Better with older children. No cats, please. no aggression at all.   Please fill out an application to meet this special guy at rescueridge.com and his friends will call to set up a meet and greet.      Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.

Story
Welcome Jax. He is 3.5-year-old Basenji / Chow. He has a Chow Personality. He is an independent dog and very comfortable entertaining himself. He is about 75 pounds and will make a nice companion on walks, hikes or runs. He loves his kennel and keeps it clean. He was in a home prior to coming to us and was potty trained. He needs to be with a man or a couple without kids. There must have been some rough handling in his past with his collar so he is very particular about how his collar is handled and likes you to handle it slowly. Brisk movements around his collar from behind him surprising him make him be defensive. He is very food motivated so all you need to do is show him a treat and he will do what you are asking. He has nice long legs and a very bushy and full coat so he would be perfect in the more northern climates. He would be great for a couple who want a companion dog make them feel safer. He is not a big barker but very inquisitive and observant. He loves being in the yard and doesn’t try to climb or dig in the yards we have. He is currently in Texas waiting for his forever home. His adoption fee is 180 and transport is 185. He is a wonderful dog and with the right family will make a nice companion. Contact Marlene at 210-867-1769 or email to maudreyh@aol.com for an application. See his cute video too.

Oliver has a big personality and a funky little underbite that makes him all the more unique. He loves to walk and be with his favorite volunteer, and is a true ladies man. Curious, alert, and intelligent, a handsome gentleman all around.  Once you get to know Oliver he is a loyal companion. A little about Oliver from his favorite volunteer:I am a very handsome 10 year old boy.  I love to take walks, and spend time with the people I love. I am very smart, so I love to learn new things . I have lived with another dog, in the past and loved it! Oliver's estimated date of birth is 07/04/2008.Please fill out our dog adoption application online at pawscrossedny.org and email adoptions@pawscrossedny.org if you would like to meet Oliver.The Shelter software system requires that we choose a predominant breed or breed mix for our dogs. Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable so for most of our dogs we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix.  We encourage you to select your new companion by considering each dog's individual personality and pet qualities instead of relying on a breed label that is only a guess.
