Dogs who are located in the Northeast
Jackie
Sex: Female • Located in: New Jersey • Age: Young
*Jackie is being fostered in Berlin, New Jersey.*
Jackie is a sweet-tempered ball of fire! She has a ton of energy and LOVES to play – with anyone (any dogs, cats, any humans, all toys, even an ice cube!). Jackie is tall (16 in floor to shoulder) and thin (about 22 lbs) but she is a terrific eater. She can jump VERY high and is extremely light on her paws. She has a long tail, erect ears and a reddish-tan mask over her ears and face. Her hair is smooth and soft. She’s mostly white with a few tan and black spots here and there. Jackie is a true lover, showering everyone she meets with kisses, and tries to sneak in a snuggle whenever she gets close to you. She is great with kids but might tip over a toddler because she jumps when she gets excited about playing with someone. She walks on a leash nicely, is doing great with housetraining, rides in the car quietly and gently takes treats from your hands. When she sees you go near the treat bag she automatically stands up on her back legs and crosses her paws to look as cute and hungry as she possibly can. Hard to resist! Jackie doesn’t seem to have an aggressive bone in her body. She enjoys learning new tricks and is curious about just about everything! A friend took her to an agility course and she showed great interest in the activities – this would be a great way to channel her energy – she’d be a natural!

Dewey
Sex: Male • Located in: Connecticut • Age: Young
*Dewey is being fostered in New Britain, CT.*
Please meet Dewey! Dewey is approximately 1 to 1 1/2 years old and weighs a whopping 8 lbs. Dewey was pulled from a shelter in Las Vegas and flew home with his fostermom to his new fosterhome in CT. This cute guy gets along great with all the other dogs in his foster home and has the funniest personality! He loves to chase a tennis ball, play with all his toys, or take a break and snuggle on your lap. He enjoys sleeping in bed with his foster parents and snuggling tight to keep you safe. Dewey sleeps through the night without a peep and wakes up giving you lots of kisses. Dewey is crate trained, house trained, and great on a leash. It takes him a few minutes to warm up to new people, but once he knows you won’t hurt him he is a total lovebug! Because he is a bit shy at first meeting, it would probably be best for his family to consist of children over 10. Once you meet this little guy you will fall in love, so please make a place in your heart for him.

Swai
Sex: Female • Located in: New Jersey • Age: Adult
*Swai is being fostered in Berlin, New Jersey.*
Sweet, Sweet Swai! Swai is a quiet, little teddy-type rat terrier who is looking for a safe, loving home. Swai’s family had to give her up when someone developed allergies so now she’s ready to start over. Swai is white with brown spots, and her face is tricolor with big, understanding brown eyes. She is 11 inches tall, 14 inches long and is just a tad zaftig — tipping the scales at 14 lbs. (but currently working on losing a few with a healthy new diet and exercise). She is about six years old and is housebroken, walks like a lady on a leash, rides patiently in the car, and when she gets playful she trots around the lawn in celebration. Swai has settled into her foster home with ease, uses a low growl to assert herself, but is definitely submissive when challenged. She does not want to fight and she prefers to play gently. Swai can be timid with strangers at first. She definitely needs an understanding family who will be as gentle with her as she is with them. She enjoys getting brushed or petted and thoroughly enjoys soft belly rubs and quiet times at your side while you’re reading, working on the computer or watching TV. Swai bonded quickly with her foster mom and is very loving. If you would like a furry companion that has a lot of love to give, Swai is the gal for you!
