Friends For Life Animal Rescue
Pet of the Month:
CARLY
Meet Carly, the wonder dog! She’s an athletic one-year-old, 53-pound super-dog whose soulful eyes and charming personality will quickly win over your heart.
Carly is tall, lean, and highly athletic, and like any good superhero, she can leap over tall buildings in a single bound. Okay, so maybe that’s an exaggeration, but she can definitely jump low fences. Her athleticism and energetic personality make her the ideal dog for a family that enjoys outdoor activities. If you need a running or hiking partner - Carly is your girl! She’d also be perfect for people who enjoy taking long walks or are interested in a dog who would be a good fit for agility training.
Carly loves her food and treats, and her food motivation makes training sessions easier and more enjoyable for both her and her future family. She has already mastered the sit command, is house-broken, and is crate-trained.
She is a friendly and social dog who loves making new friends (especially with other dogs excited to meet a super-dog).
She is the type of dog who will quickly bond with her new family.
While she is not sure about cats yet, she is currently being fostered with two cats at home. They are afraid of her, so she has not had a chance to interact with them.
Carly is looking for a loving, patient family that will appreciate her affectionate personality and give her the attention she deserves.
The best home for Carly will have a fenced-in yard where she can safely run, play (did someone say FETCH???), and burn off her abundant energy.
She will do best with an active family that includes her in outdoor adventures and makes time to play with her.
If you have another friendly dog at home, it would be all the better, as Carly would be thrilled to have a canine companion with whom she can share her life.
Carly’s journey has been one of love and resilience. She comes from a home in Texas where an elderly woman, despite battling terminal cancer, cared deeply for her and her siblings. Though the lady could no longer care for them due to her illness, she wanted to ensure that Carly and her siblings would find loving homes. When she first arrived, she was underweight and covered in fleas when she arrived at her foster home, but thanks to dedicated care, she has blossomed into the happy, healthy dog she is today.
She is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped and is being fostered in New Jersey. Once you meet her, you’ll see why she’s so special.
If Carly is the perfect addition to your family, don’t hesitate to fill out an adoption application. She’s ready to meet her forever family and begin the next chapter of her life with you!

We are a non-profit 501(c)3 organization volunteers and foster-based rescue in the Tri-State area. Our mission is to place in danger or unwanted animals, no matter age or breed, in homes, to educate the public, and help stop animal cruelty and neglect. We can't do it without your help.
In the first six months of 2024, only 49 dogs have been adopted from us.
That means we can't save new dogs that are desperately in need. Shelters across the country are over capacity, and animals are being killed for space. All rescues are doing all they can, but like us, they have no adoptions, no fosters volunteering, and no donations coming in for vet payments, food, toys, and basic prevention like fleas and ticks in this firey summer.
We are still trying our best but don't see any changes soon.
If you can help and foster a dog and you are in the tri-state area, please contact us.
If you can donate food, treats, flea treatment, toys, and anything else, please go to our Chewy List.

Momma SABRE
JODY still waiting for his family
Momma was dumped with her four babies, but in the end, only Buffy and Jody survived.
HAPPY UPDATE AS OF APRIL 2024
While checking the shelters in the area, we came across a girl who was just trapped and already had a time stamp to be killed. We couldn't believe our eyes. Eight months after we took in Buffy and Jody and couldn't find the mom and the 3rd puppy, here she was. We pulled her from the shelter and went straight to the vet, who said that the young puppy herself was pregnant. We are expecting the puppies in 3-4 weeks. In the meantime, she is resting comfortably, being fed healthy food, and getting used to people.
When Jody and Buffy were first seen, they roamed the streets with their mother and siblings. It took some time to trap these two. The 3rd sibling was hit by a truck trailer and passed away. The mother and 4th dog were never seen again.
When they came to us, they were very skinny and had very bad skin.
Good food and vet care, and they are now healthy and ready to go home.
Born sometime around April 2023
Jody weighed 27 lbs. in mid-October. In April, he is 40 lbs.
He is still a little fearful of people, but at the same time, he loves being patted.
When adopted, the owner will have much more time to give him attention and love, which will affect his feelings of security and trust.
Jody is very playful and gets along with all dogs.
He Loves squeaky toys.
When he sees the foster, he is so happy and high-energy, but after he gets her attention, he becomes relaxed.
ADOPTED - Buffy weighed 25 lbs. in mid-October
She is still timid when the foster tries to pick her up but doesn’t mind being patted once she holds her in her lap.
She sleeps up against the foster. But every time the foster reaches for her, she backs off. Since the foster has so many animals to care for, there's not enough time for one-on-one. When adopted, the owner will have much more time to give her attention and love, affecting her trust.
Buffy is very playful.
She Loves squeaky toys.

New Year 2024, Big Hopes don't come true!!
So far, almost all our small dogs have been adopted. But we have larger dogs born in our rescue, and we took in the dumped mothers. These dogs are beautiful but big, and people don't adopt big.
If you are a big dog person, check our Petfinder
The year 2023 - a very sad year !!
From January 2023 up to the beginning of December, 154 dogs have been saved!! But not adopted. We have dogs waiting for a very long time, over 12 months. And we have no choice but to reject requests to help more dogs, and it breaks our hearts.
Our animal rescue is a non-profit organization that was established 2 years ago and has done great work in saving animals since then. Unfortunately, in 2023, the situation has become very bad, with no adoptions and no fosters, leading to an increase in the number of dogs being euthanized. We are now urgently calling out for new fosters and volunteers to help us save these dogs and give them a chance at a better life. Please join us in our mission to make a difference and save the lives of dogs in need.
Join us here to foster and volunteer.
The year 2022

All these dogs were saved from being euthanized in the South.
The year we started - 2021
From March 2021, when we opened our rescue, until mid-October, we saved 134 dogs and cats. They found loving homes, and we keep in touch with them all
