My story

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

Make A Difference in your Community - Adopt a Shelter Dog! Would you like to foster a Shelter Survivor? For more information, visit us at www.sheltersurvivors.com

SUPPORT A SENIOR!!!
***Sunny is available for adoption; however, if you are not in the place to adopt a senior, we would love if you would consider donating to Shelter Survivors to help us continue to provide medial care and foster homes for dogs like Sunny! We love helping senior dogs live out their golden years in a comfortable and loving home!***

Meet Sunny! He is an 11-12 year old senior gentleman looking for his forever home. It has been amazing to see Sunny’s transformation since pulling him from a NYC shelter. He has been started on medications to manage his arthritis and discomfort and he has responded very well to the regiment. He is perky and loves walks and playing. In addition to keeping Sunny comfortable as he ages he does have other medical issues that are being managed with daily medication. We would be happy to discuss his medical needs if you are interested in taking on a senior dog. Sunny is also an intact male and currently we have no intentions of neutering him since we are managing other medical needs.

Sunny is a gentle soul who loves cuddling on the couch and playing with his toys. He gets along with other dogs, kids, and cats. He is also fully house broken. Sunny is left in his foster home freely when his foster family is not home and has not showed any signs of anxiety or being destructive. He truly is a wonderful dog who loves life. He is always happy and eager to greet you with kisses. If you are interested in adopting Sunny or learning more about him please fill out the application on Shelter Survivors website.

If you think you would like to make Sunny a part of your family, please fill out our Shelter Survivors application online to be considered.

Sunny up to date with his vaccinations, microchipped and housetrained.

To adopt Sunny, please complete our online dog application at https://www.sheltersurvivors.com/application.html and return it to sheltersurvivors@live.com.

Adoption Fees:

Adoption fees are donations to Shelter Survivors, not payment for value received, and are based primarily on the age, health, and temperament of a particular dog, and our expenses. Shelter Survivors is not an actual shelter, and we are not subsidized. Most shelters receive municipal funding, while Shelter Survivors operates on adoption fees and donations. All of our members are volunteers, and none of us receives a salary or payment of any kind. Our funds go 100% toward the care of our dogs, primarily for veterinary expenses. Volunteers usually pay the costs for transport, fostering, phone calls, postage, and adoption screening out of their own pockets.

The adoption fees range from $200.00 to $300.00, which is a bargain when you consider that spaying/neutering, testing, training and inoculations are usually included. Any difference in fee is noted in the description of the individual pet. Many animals have been micro-chipped.

Go meet their pets

Please note that Shelter Survivors does not run a physical shelter but uses a unique network of loving foster homes to house the animals awaiting adoption. To meet one of the animals that you find on the web, come to our adoption days (see the "events" page of our website) or send us an application at sheltersurvivors@live.com. Most of our adoption days are at PetCo in Raritan (off of the Somerville Circle).

More about this rescue

Shelter Survivors was formed to serve the needs of dogs that have been brought to shelters in the tri-state area, by providing loving and expedient rescue, foster homes and placement with a great measure of compassion and through teamwork with you and other rescue groups and shelters. Our focus is primarily on shelter dogs, and we work with local shelters to help communities in our area. We believe in saving the lives of shelter dogs, one dog at a time.

Shelters Survivors is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

Any financial support to help us care for our animals is very much appreciated and we also need dog food, crates of all sizes, beds and blankets for the pets in our care.

We do not have a shelter so we don't have visiting hours.
