“Paulie” the pooch needs a Hoboken home – is he for you?

Hoboken “friend of dogs” Jamie is back with another astonishingly cute puppy today named “Paulie.” This adorable fella will likely be adopted in a flash – so if you’re ready for a dog, you might want to act now!

“We have a new foster dog who is up for adoption, Paulie!

Paulie is about 12 weeks old and we think he is a lab mix, maybe with some husky or shepherd in him. He gets along great with our resident dog and is playful, but loves nap time just the same. Paulie is just fine going in his crate to sleep and when we go out and is just learning how to walk on the leash. He loves greeting people on the street and is happy to let kids pet him as well. He loves to follow you around, and will find just about any spot to take a nap if you’re nearby.

Paulie and his sister Juno are available for adoption through A Pathway to Hope. For more information on them or any of the other dogs and cats available, please visit www.apathwaytohope.org or send an email to pathwaytohope@yahoo.com.

Thanks again for all you do. You’re helping to find some amazing dogs great homes right here in Hoboken. Bobby the border collie was adopted last week, courtesy of Hoboken411′s posting!”

HeavenSent Bulldog Rescue in Hoboken this weekend

Interested in learning more about bulldogs? Considering bringing one into your life?

Then swing by Cornerstone Pets (105 9th St.) on Saturday, May 5th from 12pm to 3pm, as HeavenSent Bulldog Rescue will be on hand with an information table with tips, adoption advice and much more concerning the bulldog breed.

Who is HeavenSent Bulldog Rescue? What do they do?

The HeavenSent Bulldog Rescue group is run by volunteers, and their mission is to re-home bulldogs who are surrendered by their owners or find themselves without homes, land in shelters or wandering the roads as strays.

Volunteers provide foster care, veterinary care and rehabilitation for the needy dogs – and ultimately place them in forever homes. They also are taking donations – and on their wish list are: Bowls, towels, collars, leashes, toys, food, gift certificates and other items. Check out www.heavensentbulldogrescue.com for more – or just get out of the house and say hello in person.

Good luck!

“Bobby” the pooch needs a Hoboken home – are you ready?

Hopefully most dog owners in Hoboken don’t buy their dogs from the chain pet stores – but rather have great rescue stories! See what our “friend of dogs” Jaime has to say about our latest dog up for adoption!

“Once again, Hoboken411came through and got our last foster dog Lexie adopted so we’re on to the next! We’re hoping Bobby can find his forever home through Hoboken411 as well.

“Bobby is a 5 year old Border Collie mix with one brown eye and one blue eye. He is very sweet and has the maturity and energy of an adult dog but is playful and puppy-like in his personality. We think he’d do well in an apartment or a house. When Bobby first arrived with his foster family right here in Hoboken, he was a bit anxious but quickly came out of his shell. He learns quickly and responds well to training. Must be the border collie in him, smart breed! He is house trained and is doing well with basic commands, leash training and crate training. His foster family works during the day and he does fine in his crate with a dogwalker coming to let him out. He seems like a very loyal dog that just wants to be loved and please his owners.

One of his favorite things to do is to sit at his foster dad’s feet and just hang out and watch TV. He is currently in foster with another dog and gets along great with her. He does fine with children as well.

Bobby came to A Pathway to Hope as the children in his family had developed allergies. He was a loved pet and is looking to find his forever home now. For more information on Bobby, please visit www.apathwaytohope.org or send an email to pathwaytohope@yahoo.com. To read more about Bobby, go to http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/22732205

Gorgeous dog “Lexie” wants a home in Hoboken, NJ

Wow – this has to be one of the cutest dogs for adoption on Hoboken411 I’ve seen in a long while!

“Lexie is about 4 months old and super sweet. We are not sure what she is a mix of, but think she is shepherd, collie, terrier and maybe some pit.

Her mom is medium-sized and we think she’ll be the same, if not on the smaller side. She is very laid back for her age and her favorite thing to do is snuggle on the couch. She gets along with other dogs, but doesn’t like to rough house with them. She’s just happy being around them and is currently in foster with another dog. She walks well on the leash and is well on her way to being house trained. She does great in her crate and will go in there on her own when she wants some down time.

For more information on Lexie, visit www.apathwaytohope.org or send an email to pathwaytohope@yahoo.com. To read more about Lexie, go to http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/22203365. Her siblings Patty, Soopy, Connor and Star are also up for adoption as well as her mom, Sophie.”

Mia is the perfect dog for Hoboken!

Mia is a fun, loving little pup. She is estimated to be at about 8-10 months of age and is about 30 pounds (perfect for a Hoboken apartment!)

“We are unsure of her breed, but she appears to be a mix of Australian Shepherd, Coonhound and maybe Carolina dog or pit. Mia loves people and is ready to greet anyone and everyone she sees on the street. She loves to give kisses and snuggle. She gets along great with other dogs as well. Mia is crate trained and is working on her house training. She is learning basic commands and is extremely food motivated so is ready to do anything for a treat! She sleeps at night in her crate and is happy to go in there and lay down when I leave for work. She is a playful pup who loves toys and just wants to be near her people.

Mia and her sister Mya didn’t always have the best life. They were rescued from a neglect case down south. Their previous owners had tied a rope around their neck, which soon became embedded as they grew. They were rescued and have been treated. There is only a faint scar, which may completely disappear in time. Mia and Mya seem to have no emotional scars and are social and loving, just ready to find their forever homes for the holidays!”

You can follow Mia as she searches for her forever home at http://adoptmiadog.blogspot.com/

July 2011 Update: Cole & Puppies still available!

Just wanted to bump this post for dog-seekers out there looking for incredible, loving pooches! Cole is still available (you must be an active family), and the two GORGEOUS Spaniel-mix puppies (no names yet “puppy #1 and puppy #2″) are also still in need of a loving home. Please contact Helen ASAP if you’re interested!

See photo gallery below for more…

5 month old Lab/Hound Cole is loving and loyal!

6/17/2011:
Many Hoboken dog walkers are familiar with Helen – who is a dog-lover and dog walker. She loves dogs so much, she rescues many puppies that were headed for certain death. I’ve spoken with her countless times, and am impressed at how she vets out potential owners, ensuring they go to good homes with capable owners.

Today, I present you “Cole.” He’s a black five-month old Bloodhound Labrador mix. He has all his shots, has been fixed and is heartworm negative. He’s a bit lanky now, because he’s still growing – but Helen estimates that Cole will be around 90 pounds fully grown. He’s an active dog with lots of energy, but gets along with everyone. Helen suggested that he’d be perfect for a more active person – because he needs lots of exercise. You can take him hiking, to the beach or other adventures. She said that he’s very loyal – and even walks by her side with no leash. Heck, I would take him if I had more time!

If you want to meet Cole – call Helen at 201-936-9901
