Story
Brutis and ottis are brothers, same dad different mothers. Both same age but different litters, they are bonded together and do not want them separated. Due to a separation and unwilling help from ex, my schedule is too much and i work 12 hour shifts and every other weekend, and it is not fair to the dogs. They will be two years old this year, they are both great with no personality issues. They are Basenji mix, i have tried all options and i do not want to relocate them but Unfortunately it is the best thing for them to have ppl in their lives constantly. Im trying to be selfless and do whats best for them. Addition photos upon request.

Story
🚨 MILO NEEDS A HERO — HE’S RUNNING OUT OF TIME 🚨 Milo hasn’t had a fair start… and now he’s paying the price. This ~4-year-old Basenji mix (about 50 lbs) was removed from his owner after being left without proper shelter or water. Since then, the world has felt scary, loud, and unpredictable. Milo is timid and unsure, trying to figure out who he can trust. But he’s not shut down—he’s just waiting for someone to show him he’s safe. And when you do… he leans in. He accepts gentle pets. He tries. That’s the part of Milo no one sees in a kennel. With other dogs, Milo can come on a little strong at first—he may posture or try to assert himself—so he’ll need slow, structured introductions and guidance. With the right person, this is absolutely manageable. 💔 The reality is… dogs like Milo don’t get much time. Not because they’re bad— but because they need someone willing to understand them. ✨ What Milo needs: • Patient, experienced adopter or foster • Calm, structured environment • Proper introductions with other dogs (or happy as your only) • Someone willing to go slow and build trust ✨ What Milo will give: • A deep, loyal bond • Quiet companionship • The kind of transformation that changes both your lives He’s not aggressive. He’s not a lost cause. He’s just never been given a reason to feel safe. 👉 Please be the one who changes Milo’s story. PLEASE HELP THIS BOY NOT MUCH TIME BEFORE HES KILLED ‼️ PLEASE TEXT KAREN 4136298152

Meet Mojo! This handsome guy is a 1 year old sweet, affectionate adult dog in the prime of his life. He’s past the tiny-puppy stage but still full of youthful energy and curiosity. He is super friendly and loves just about everyone and everything he meets. He would make a great addition to a family with an active lifestyle! He is currently located down South at our sister shelters and available for pre-adoption. We do transports to NJ once a month. He can't wait to find his forever home!
