My story

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

This dog is part of our shelter outreach program where we take dogs from overcrowded shelters in hopes of finding them a forever home here! We generally do not have much background info on them and cannot guarantee they are housebroken. They are all up to date on vaccines, spayed/neutered and microchipped.

Update 9/10/25

If there’s one thing Pete loves most in the world—it’s BALLS. Big ones, small ones, squeaky ones, bouncy ones… if it rolls, Pete is in heaven!

This happy, playful boy has been with us since March, and we can’t believe he’s still waiting for a home. He’s 1 year old, about 32 lbs, dog-friendly (meet & greets required), and always ready for fun. No cats for Pete, please.

He’s growing up in the shelter when he should be growing up in a home—chasing balls in the yard, snuggling on the couch after playtime, and being loved like he deserves.

Looking for an active high energy home, pre-set obedience training required.

8 months old, 23lbs.

Pete has a playful spirit and a heart full of potential! This friendly, social pup is ready to learn and grow with the right family. He’ll need someone dedicated to continuing his puppy training, including crate and potty training.

Pete gets along with dogs, but if you have a dog, it should be one that’s patient and willing to show him the ropes. He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations—now all he needs is YOU!

*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). We have a lifelong return policy for all our pets. We prefer homes in the region so that we can be a resource for the animals and their adopters, however we will adopt out of state to approved 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.
