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. 

 Meet Lulu — a Little Dog with a Big Heart

Life hasn’t been fair to this little lady. Lulu is a 7-year-old Beagle/Chihuahua mix who recently lost the only home she’s ever known when her beloved owner faced serious health challenges and could no longer care for her. 

When her owner had to move in with family, Lulu couldn’t come along—the family cats didn’t care for dogs. Now she’s heartbroken and confused, wondering where her person went.

Lulu is as gentle and loving as they come. She’s dog-friendly, adores affection, and just wants to curl up beside someone who will love her back. She came to us with her favorite blankies, which she snuggles into for comfort and familiarity. 

She does have some health hurdles—she’s a bit overweight (around 35 lbs and needs to lose 5–10), and she’s currently being treated for painful bladder stones. She’s on pain meds and a special urinary diet to help dissolve them. Possibly surgery in the future to remove them.  

True to her Beagle roots, Lulu’s nose is always to the ground! She loves her walks but can be a little enthusiastic on leash and would benefit from some gentle leash work. 

Despite it all, she never stops wagging her tail. 

If you have room in your heart (and home) for a senior sweetheart who’s been through so much, please consider opening your home to Lulu. She deserves comfort, love, and peace again.

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.
