My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

When dogs have to come back to the shelter it is incredibly heartbreaking. Camo was adopted from us in 2019. Due to family issues in the home, he has been returned through no fault of his own. He is now almost 5 years old and wondering why he is here. His world has been turned upside down.

Camo is very friendly and smart! He has loved everyone he's met here at the shelter. Catahoula's make loyal companions. They are working dogs, active and highly intelligent. They have a gorgeous blue merle coat.

He is a big boy and is sadly very overweight! We have him on a healthy diet now and are giving him daily exercise. We are looking for an active home that will make sure to keep up with a good exercise regimen and make sure those pounds come off so he can back to a healthy weight. He Has lost 15lbs so far!!

Camo loved his big fenced yard in his previous home and enjoys running here in our fenced area so we are hopeful his new adopters will have the same so he can enjoy that as well.

Happiest as the only pet.

Super smart! Knows quite a few commands. Loves to fetch the tennis ball.

100% housebroken.

*Per JSAC policy, puppies and kittens under 6 months will not be adopted to families with children under the age of 6 years.

Adoption Process

Our friendly, knowledgable team of staff and volunteers would be glad to give you a tour of the shelter and discuss whether one of our furry friends is the right match for your home.

The JSAC has careful policies on the placement of young animals, dominant breed dogs (Rottweilers, Shepherds, Akitas, etc). Due to our lifelong return policy we prefer to adopt our pets locally, so we don't adopt out of state. We prefer homes in the region so that we can be a resource for the animals and their adopters. These policies and procedures are in place to protect everyone involved and are very common when rehoming animals, whether through a shelter or a rescue group.

We do not have "same day" adoptions. Rather, an application for an animal is reviewed to ensure that 1) the home has taken good care of their other animals * 2) The animal is permitted in the home and 3) that it is the right home for the right animal (choosing dog that likes cats if cats already in household, etc..). Typically this process takes 24-48 hours. If a dog application is approved and there are other dogs in the home, we have the two (or more) dogs meet; many times if necessary.

More about this shelter

Jersey Shore Animal Center is committed to the care of unwanted, abandoned, sick animals and to the adoption of these animals to responsible, loving homes. To that end, veterinary care is provided as needed, medication and inoculations are given and neutering/spaying is done prior to adoption unless the animal's health or age precludes this procedure.

In addition, a compassionate staff tends to providing for each animal's physical and emotional needs, taking care to keep each one sheltered, clean, well-fed and socialized.
