Meet Jenny, Ready for Her Forever Home!

We may never know Jenny's past, but this brave little girl isn't letting anything hold her back. At 4-5 years old, Jenny is full of life, always wagging her tail, and bringing joy to everyone she meets.

Jenny has a break in her back and one hind leg she can't use, so she needs a little help going up and down stairs-but don't worry, she's only 13 pounds and will look at you with those sweet, grateful eyes as you carry her.

Aside from avoiding stairs and skipping long walks, Jenny is just like any other pup! She's house-trained, loves people, and is friendly with pets her size, even cats! Jenny would thrive in a home without bigger dogs, as they could be too much for her physically.

Lucky was found a little over two weeks ago, dumped in a park in Neptune, covered in wounds and fleas and, very underweight. We took her to the vet where she was stitched, cleaned and, was put on antibiotics, pain meds and treated for the fleas. We suspect Lucky was used for breeding and as a bait dog.

Fast-forward to now, and Lucky is a happy little pup. She is friendly, loving, and playful. Honestly, she must have been crated her whole existence, as everything is brand new to her. Our trainer has started working with her and says, "She doesn't have a mean bone in her body." If we didn't have three alpha dogs, she would be added to our pack.

This is Brooklyn.
Brooklyn is a Pit mix about seven years old. Her rescuer found her running through a junkyard when she was an older puppy and couldn't leave her to fend for herself.
Tragically, her rescuer passed away this week, and she was left alone with him until the next morning when help came.
She is currently with a family member who can not keep her, so we are trying to find her a loving home.
Unfortunately Brooklyn is only up to date on her rabies. She is not spayed so she will need to be, and will need her vaccines. She has skin allergies that are being treated, but that's will have to be kept up with.
Brooklyn is a very sweet dog. She walks well on a leash and takes treats so gently. She has shown no signs of aggression or guarding. She is house-trained and non-destructive. Brooklyn knows sit and down. She is very treat-motivated, which will help with any training you may want to do. She just loves attention from everyone and, at times, will bark just to get some love. She allows full-body contact, is nondestructive, and shows no signs of separation anxiety.
Right now, Brooklyn appears to be nonreactive towards dogs, but she should probably be an only dog... at least until she adjusts to losing the only person she ever knew. She would do well with older children, probably around 13 and up, as her human sister is around that age.
Brooklyn just wants a place to call home, be loved, and give love in return.
