Fonzi is a male Chihuahua mix of 4-6 years old. He is in good health, neutered, and current on all vaccinations.

Fonzi eats well, gets along with other dogs (no observations of him with cats or young children) and walks well on a leash.

He can be very sweet and affectionate, and likes to be held and snuggled with. He is very good at letting you know when it is time for you to snuggle with him.

Not much is known about Fonzi's background, as he was found abandoned in an apartment in Asbury Park.

Would you like to meet Fonzi to see if he is the "right" dog for you? I'm fairly certain that he will win your heart and make a great addition to your life and family.

Fill out the Rescue Ridge Adoption Application and you will be contacted by Fonzi's Foster Parent to arrange for you and Fonzi's to meet each other. No questions answered without an application.

That meeting has the potential of being the start of something beautiful for all parties.

Spirit is a beautiful, unique looking, approximately 2 year old Shepherd mix. Spirit loves walks, car rides, going on adventures, playing fetch and getting lots of attention. Spirit loves people and enjoys making new friends. Spirt is very smart and has had some professional training. He knows many commands and is always eager to learn more. Spirit is looking for a dog savvy, experienced owner who will understand his needs and can give him plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. Spirit takes a little time to fully trust you, but once he does he will bond with you and reward you with lots love and affection. While Spirt has been with us at Rescue Ridge, he has attended adoption events, kids sporting events, gone to parades and parks and has been extremely well behaved in each setting. Spirit is dog friendly, but does have a high prey drive so he needs a home without cats or other small animals. The ideal home for Spirit would have someone who is home most of the time (or could take him to work with them) with a large fenced yard. Spirit is an amazing dog, full of personality and will be a loyal companion for someone who can meet his exercise and training needs. Spirit is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. Please apply to adopt Spirit at rescueridge.com, and if your application is a possible match, a volunteer will reach out to you to schedule a meet.

Happy, adorable Mojo is a 6-9 mo old terrier mix, weighing under 40lbs. Mojo is a friendly, affectionate and playful puppy. He loves people, toys and getting lots of attention. We have been doing some basic training with Mojo and it turns out he is a super fast learner. He walks beautifully on a leash and has learned several commands such as sit, stay and place. Mojo is dog friendly and could possibly make a great companion for another young dog. Kennel life is especially hard on puppies and we would love to see this sweet boy find a home quickly so that he can get all the love, training and playtime puppies require. Mojo is the perfect size for a family with slightly older kids looking to bring a young pup into to their home. Can you help us make Mojos dreams of a home of his own come true? Mojo is neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccines. Please apply to adopt Mojo at rescueridge.com and if your application is a possible match, a volunteer will reach out to you to schedule a meet.

She would thrive with a family with dog(s).

Personality: very sweet, affectionate. She is very playful and enjoys playing with other dogs! She is very gentle and submissive. She can be bit shy but once she settles in and connect with the person she will show her playful nature. When she hears loud noises she barks but would calm down soon.

When she is about to go out for a walk she is so happy but also anxious at the same time. Once she steps out her tail goes up and enjoys her walk.
Relationship: She is great with children, though she wants lots of attention. adopters with only older children would be ideal or no young children.
Potty training: 100% potty trained outside, does not use bathroom indoors
Likes to be cuddled or petted? YES!
