ISO: a foster for sweet senior pup NY/NJ area!

🚨 Foster Needed ASAP for Gina 🚨

We’re urgently looking for a foster for Gina in NY, NJ, or the surrounding areas.

Gina is a 9-year-old medium-sized sweetheart who is incredibly easy to have around. She’s fully house trained, lets you know when she needs something, and spends most of her time happily snoozing. She can be left alone without issue, though she’ll usually bark for a few minutes when you first leave.

One of Gina’s cutest quirks is her adorable toothy smile. She loves giving kisses and gentle little “love nibbles” to the people she trusts.

Gina would do best in a quieter home and neighborhood where she can relax and settle in comfortably. Because she can be selective with other dogs and needs thoughtful introductions, we are looking for a foster with some dog experience who can help set her up for success.

Ideally, Gina would love to be the only dog and soak up all the attention, though she may be able to live with the right calm, submissive dog in an experienced home.

She really doesn’t ask for much—just a soft place to nap, a peaceful place to decompress, and someone to love. ❤️

If you can foster Gina, please reach out. Even sharing her post could help her find the safe place she needs.

📩 Interested in fostering? Send us an email at [contact@linusrescue.org](mailto:contact@linusrescue.org)!

Darling little BOBBY used to live in a very busy household which included 4 adults, a child, a large male dog, medium female dog, and a cat. He was described as a very loyal boy who loved spending time with his family. But now a family member has said he must go! Bobby was tolerant of the 10 year old child in the home. He was friendly and outgoing with the other dogs, and with the cat. Bobby prefers contact on his own terms and is hoping to find a patient and experienced person who will understand his needs and preferences. A slow approach together with some gentle guidance will go a long way to help Bobby feel more comfortable. Help him brush up on his manners and be the best he can be!

Upon intake, Bobby barked at staff member who entered the room but stopped when treats were tossed and when staff ignored him.

He allowed staff to walk back to kennel without issue.

OWNER SURRENDER NOTES—BASIC INFORMATION

Bobby is being surrendered after 7 years—the owner lives with her parents and her father no longer wants Bobby in the home. The landlord says he must go due to his destructive tendencies.

Bobby is friendly and outgoing and excited with familiar dogs. He is shy with unfamiliar dogs. He is friendly and outgoing with cats. Bobby doesn’t like to share his food.

SHELTER ASSESSMENT SUMMARIES: Date of assessment: 6/13/2026

Due to Bobby's defensive behavior and touch sensitivity in the prior home, a handling assessment will not be conducted at this time.

PLAYGROUP SUMMARIES: DOG TO DOG:

He is shy, preferring contact on his own terms, alert barks, and jumps up at unfamiliar dogs on leash. He has no experience with unfamiliar dogs off leash. He is reported to have lived with a large male dog and a medium female dog.

06/15/26 Bobby is introduced to a novel female while off leash. He readily approaches the gate and will sniff the female with a neutral frame before demand barking and then jumping up on handler exuberantly. When the gate is opened, Bobby readily approaches the female with a forward frame and she backs away. Bobby disengages and will mark along the yard as the female stands neutrally nearby. When he approaches again, she quickly backs away so Bobby is guided away from the female.

ENRICHMENT NOTES:

06/29/26: Bobby is at the front of his kennel as the handler approaches. The handler is able to leash him with ease, and Bobby puts a paw on the handler's shoulder before the handler can lift him out of kennel. He is brought outside for a walk. He jumps up on the handler's legs frequently at the beginning of the walk, but then finds a partially chewed beef trachea on the sidewalk and picks it up. Carrying the chew in his mouth, Bobby walks briskly at the end of the leash. When returning to the building, the handler is able to exchange the chew for a high value treat. After that, the handler is able to pick him up, return him to kennel, and un-leash him with no issue.

6/22/26: Bobby is at the front of his kennel as the handler approaches. He will attempt to push out of kennel as the handler leashes him and will then jump out of kennel as the handler goes to pick him up. He is carried out of kennel and is then placed on the ground where he will begin to jump onto the handler's legs as they walk out of the Care Center. He will pull towards dogs but is able to be redirected. He will walk ahead of the handler, pulling mildly against the leash towards objects on the ground. Towards the end of the walk, Bobby will take some treats from the handler and catches some that are tossed to him. He is returned to kennel with no issue and secured safely.

06/15/26 (PG): Bobby is at the front of his kennel as the handler approaches. He jumps up repeatedly, but the handler is able to leash him and bring him outside. In the yard, Bobby will jump up on the legs of various handlers. After his interaction, Bobby is returned to his kennel without issue.

Recommendations comments:
No children (under 13): Due to Bobby behavioral concerns, we reccomend he be placed in an adult-only home at his time.

Place with a New Hope partner:Bobby came into the care center as an owner surrender due to his behavioral concerns and landlord no longer wanting him in the home. Bobby prior owners noted that he prefers contact on their own terms, Aloof/Mellow, Social/Affectionate, Vocal.Due to all noted concerns displayed in a home environment, the behavior department recommends Bobby be placed with a New Hope placement partner who is able to provide an experienced adult-only foster home. A period of decompression is recommended to allow Bobby to acclimate comfortably to his new environment; force-free, reward based training only is advised when introducing Bobby to new and unfamiliar situations. Consultation with a professional trainer/behaviorist is highly recommended for guidance to safely manage/modify any behavior Bobby presents with outside of the care centers.

Potential challenges:
Resource Guarding, Destructive behavior, Handling/touch sensitivity, Basic manners/poor impulse control, Separation anxiety/Anxiety, Fearful/potential for defensive aggression/On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration, Strength/leash pulling, Bite history (human)

Potential challenges comments:
Resource guarding: In the prior home, Bobby was reported to guard his food, displaying growling, hard barking, a tense body posture, and hovering over his food bowl when approached. It is essential to work on desensitizing him to having his possessions handled by using techniques like trading up for higher-value items and practicing "drop it" and "leave it". Please see handout on Resource guarding.

Destructive behavior: In the prior home, Bobby was reported to engage in destructive behaviors involving household items, furniture, walls, and shoes.

Handling/touch sensitivity: Bobby has significant handling sensitivities and has displayed growling, barking, lunging, snapping, and biting when physically restrained or handled. He has reacted negatively when pushed or pulled off furniture, when his paws are touched, and when his collar is grabbed. Although he allows familiar family members to bathe and brush him, he has escalated during grooming procedures by growling, barking, snapping, and attempting to bite.

Basic manners/poor impulse control: Bobby is reported to frequently jump on people.Consistent training to teach him to sit or stay when greeting people, using positive reinforcement and redirection, will help manage this behavior. Please see the handout on Basic manners/poor impulse control.

Separation anxiety/Anxiety:In the prior home, Bobby was described as generally anxious, displaying excessive barking, pacing, whining, difficulty settling, and signs of distress when left alone. Please see the handout on Separation anxiety and generalized anxiety.

Fearful/potential for defensive aggression/On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration: Reacts to on walks: Bobby has a history of reacting to strangers, particularly unfamiliar men. His owners reported that he will hard bark, growl, lunge, snap, and attempt to bite when male strangers approach the home, yard, or family members. He is also reported to react defensively when startled, responding with growling, barking, and snapping.Upon intake, Bobby barked at staff member who entered the room but stopped when treats were tossed and when staff ignored him. When owner attempted to remove harness, Bobby began growling so the owner pulled off the harness using the leash. Bobby's body language and behavior suggest discomfort around unfamiliar people, and his warning signals should be respected. Please see the handout on Fearful/potential for defensive aggression/On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration.

Strength/leash pulling: Bobby is reported to pull strongly on leash and will benefit from continued training focused on loose-leash walking and engagement with his handler. Please see the hand out on Strength/leash pulling.

Bite history (human): see bite hsitory.

6/29/26 Euth Request | Border Collie Mix | Male | 2 Years Old | 32 lbs | HW Negative

💙 Volunteer Notes:

We were not able to meet Alex #A2083434. If you're interested in helping us meet the animals, please message us!

📝 Shelter Notes:

6/30/26: During placement on the euthanasia list, Alex was observed pancaked against the back kennel wall with a tense body, pinned ears, and whale eyes. Staff were able to place a leash over his head and attempted to comfort him with baby talk and treats, but he remained shut down. He was lightly muzzled and carried to the runs. Outside, he displayed a somewhat more relaxed posture and sniffed neighboring dogs, but largely kept to himself. Staff had to carry him back to his kennel, where he again pancaked himself against the back wall.

7/2/26: Alex tucked his head into the corner of his kennel and pulled his legs underneath himself when staff opened the kennel door. Staff slowly knelt down and offered treats, but he showed no interest. When a leash was placed on him, his body became even more tense. He was lightly muzzled and carried to a new kennel.

🚑 Medical Notes:

• 2-year-old intact male weighing 32 pounds

• Heartworm negative

• Received tranquilizer at intake

• No other medical concerns documented

💙 Alex showed some curiosity toward other dogs when outside of his kennel, suggesting there may be a social and affectionate dog beneath his fear. He urgently needs a quiet, patient environment where he can decompress, feel safe, and begin to build trust.

📝 Shelter Notes:

6/30/26: Chewy greeted staff from the back of his kennel while shaking, covered, and displaying wide whale eyes. He was easily leashed but refused to walk and immediately began pulling backward on the leash. He was left in his kennel to avoid causing additional stress.

7/1/26: Chewy presented with a tense body posture and kept his head hidden. A leash was placed on him, but he did not move. He was muzzled and moved to a new kennel.

7/2/26: Chewy displayed a tense body posture and worried facial expression. He remained pancaked and would not walk, requiring staff to muzzle and carry him outside. While waiting for his kennel to be cleaned, staff observed him begin wagging his tail and showing interest in another dog nearby. Staff were able to sit with and pet him.

🚑 Medical Notes:

• 1-year-1-month-old intact male weighing 29.6 pounds

• Heartworm negative

• No medical concerns documented

💙 Chewy appears to be experiencing shutdown behaviors in the shelter environment. Despite his fear, Chewy showed signs of social interest and began wagging his tail when exposed to another dog and gentle human interaction. He urgently needs a quiet, patient environment where he can decompress, feel safe, and regain confidence.

My dog will only settle in his crate if it’s only us in the room and I stick my foot in there with him. But only if my toes are above him. If I remove my toes he immediately panics. I have a party to hose today. 😅🤦🏻‍♀️

I will pay the fees for who ever wants him i just want to get him a home as soon as possible so they don’t euthanize him.
He is very friendly, energetic, and playful. Loves attention and being active.

Our foster Brenda is looking for her forever home!

Hi friends, my name is Brenda, and I think it’s finally time we met properly.

My story starts back in January, when I was found wandering with two other dogs, one bigger than me and one smaller. The little one was clearly running the show, leading our small pack around, but all three of us were friendly with the people who found us.

Being new to the shelter was a lot for me. I was quiet and a little unsure of myself, trying to figure out where I fit in a place that was loud and unfamiliar. By March, time was running short for me, and on March 24th, I landed on the urgent list. I was so relieved when someone finally gave me a chance outside those walls.

That chance didn’t last the way I hoped. After six weeks, I found myself back at the shelter, and I’d lost quite a bit of weight along the way. It wasn’t my favorite chapter.

The good news is, some familiar faces remembered me. Just three days after I came back, two women who’d met me before decided to bring me home and foster me themselves. They’ve spent their time since then helping me feel like myself again, and I’m proud to say I’ve gained all my weight back.

These days, my foster moms say I’m ready to find my forever home and they can’t stop talking about how far I’ve come. Here’s what they want you to know about me:

 Estimated to be 7 years old

 44 pounds, spayed, heartworm negative

 House trained

 Crate trained (it’s my safe space)

 I get along great with other dogs, big and small, and I’m fully part of the family with my foster home’s 13-pound pup after slow introductions

 I hop like a bunny when I’m excited!

 Medium energy, I love long walks than curling up into my “Brenda ball” on the couch

 Tolerates baths well

 I love car rides!

 Not bothered by thunderstorms or vacuums

 Treat motivated and I know sit, down, paw, and leave it

 I do well when left alone in a confined room, I will either sleep or chew on my Kong

 Super snuggler once I get to know you

 I love belly rubs and a good toy

 Very good listener and follows direction well

 Look in the comments for more photos and videos of me!

If you want to meet me, either send my foster mom a Facebook message, or click my link: https://fcasdogs.com/Brenda

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to add a dog to your life, consider this it. I’ve come a long way, and I can’t wait to show you just how good life can be from here!

Brenda is available for adoption through Fulton County Animal Services in Atlanta, GA.
