Story
Are you looking for a dog that loves quiet corners and soft voices? Do you like a dog that loves to cuddle and just be near you? Meet Nellie, a year and a half old boxer mix weighing 44 pounds. She has a short tan and white coat. A pink nose and soft amber eyes add to her gentle look. A bit shy at first but then she will show you her sweet and gentle side. She will do best in a home where she can stay by your side as a loyal friend. Nellie has interacted with other dogs (large and small) and has been fostered with cats! She also does well with children. She is house and crate trained. She is currently working on her leash training. Although she housetrained, it is important to remember that accidents can occur while adjusting to a new home environment. Daily walks will support leash skills as well as socialization skills. (It will also be an opportunity to find out what commands she knows). It will be a new world to her with all the new sights, smells, sounds, and people along her walk. A secure back yard will give her free time to play. At home she will benefit from companionship and mental stimulation in the form of activities and play toys. That will keep her from being bored. Nellie has the potential to be a wonderful family companion. Are you willing to take on the task of helping her transition to a new life where she is loved and appreciated? If yes, read on.* When considering adoption, keep in mind that dogs thrive on structure and routine. They adjust much better when their owners are committed to providing consistency and stability.The adoption fee for Nellie is $500. That includes the cost of spaying/neutering, up to date vaccinations, foster care, rescue and transportation fees. To get the ball rolling, head over to our Adoption Application and submit your application today. A Dog Star representative will contact you within 24 hours. To speed up the process, contact your vet and give them permission to speak with us.If you do not get a response within 24 hours, check your spam folder.August 11, 2026, 7:49 am

Though he prefers not to be left alone for long, he’s a perfect companion when around other dogs he knows or people—even if just in another room. He adores the great outdoors, and his enthusiasm shines during playdates and adventures at the local dog park. He’s sociable with dogs of all sizes, though his recall may need a little polish—Jax is ever curious about the wildlife he encounters! Living with Jax means embracing his high-energy spirit and managing his sensitive stomach with the right diet. An enclosed yard, constant companionship, and a routine filled with walks and playtime would ensure his days are as joyful as he is.

Story
Meet Spade! A spirited two-and-a-half-year-old Boxer/American Pitbull Terrier mix currently in Tinton Falls, NJ, whose essence is a vibrant burst of joy wrapped in a sleek black coat with striking white accents. At around 55 pounds, Spade is a medium-sized charmer who has mastered the art of being both a playful goofball and an affectionate constant companion. If he had his way, he would spend every day curled up as close to his favorite people as possible! Whether he is soaking up sunshine in the yard, roughhousing with enthusiasm, or snuggling beneath a blanket, Spade approaches life with his whole heart. One of his most endearing quirks is his nightly blanket routine. He loves wiggling and burrowing until he creates the perfect cozy nest for sleep. He is also a huge fan of rump scratches and responds with an adorable full-body dance when you find just the right spot! Crinkle toys and interactive toys keep him entertained, and he enjoys car rides, swimming adventures, and plenty of outdoor enrichment in a fully fenced yard. Spade knows “sit” and “paw,” is house-trained, neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. He does well when left alone for reasonable periods and follows a simple routine of twice-daily meals, exercise, and relaxation. Loud noises, storms, and strangers approaching the house can make him uneasy, and he receives daily Fluoxetine to help manage anxiety. Spade needs a loving home where he can be the only pet. As he matured, he developed resource guarding behaviors around food, toys, and other high-value items, which led to serious altercations with another dog in the home that required intervention and veterinary care. Because these situations can arise with little warning, he is not compatible with other dogs or cats and needs a pet-free environment where he can feel secure. With people, Spade is incredibly affectionate and has no history of biting. He prefers not to be disturbed while eating and may give a brief growl if startled awake from a deep sleep to communicate that he needs space. He does best with calm, respectful teenagers or young adults who understand canine boundaries. In the right home, Spade's loving, goofy, and devoted personality truly shines! With the right environment Spade will reward his new family with endless affection, laughter, loyalty, and companionship. Could your family be the next chapter in this lovable boy’s story?

Story
Meet Simba! A goofy eight-year-old Boxer currently in Bellingham, MA, whose essence is a joyful whirlwind wrapped in a handsome brown brindle coat with white accents. Simba is the kind of boy who treats every moment like a delightful mystery, whether it is a rolling toy or a funny sound across the room! He is wonderfully food motivated, making snack time his favorite event and a great opportunity for positive reinforcement and learning. Simba is now looking for a new loving home after his devoted pet parent passed away. Despite his large 97 pound frame, Simba is convinced he is a lap dog and happily leans into his people for cuddles, often forgetting all about personal space. He sleeps peacefully when left alone, enjoys chew toys, and lights up for walks and car rides! Simba is very friendly with other dogs and has shared his life with a canine companion (Sophie), bringing playful and easygoing energy into the mix. He has not spent time with cats yet, but his gentle, social nature suggests he may be open to new friendships with a thoughtful introduction. With children, Simba is affectionate and patient, though his enthusiasm can be a bit bouncy for smaller kids, so guidance and supervision help everyone feel comfortable. He can be a little timid in new situations and may pause before warming up to unfamiliar people, but once he feels secure, his sweet and content personality shines. Simba benefits from a routine with smaller, more frequent meals to support his sensitive tummy and occasionally requires a special diet. He has received care for hip discomfort after overexertion and has a few harmless skin bumps. Simba has lived successfully with his sister Sophie for many years and could either be adopted alongside her or thrive as an only dog in the right home. This lovable goofball thrives in a calm, confident home where his family understands Boxer charm, slobbery kisses, and his constant desire to be close. He would be compatible with a household where someone is around often, ready for companionship and cuddles! Could Simba be the cheerful companion your family has been waiting for?

Story
Squeakers arrived at TJO severely emaciated, but with no shortage of love to give. She has been nothing but sweet and excited to meet every new person she sees. As with any puppy, though, she has quite a bit of youthful energy and a lot to learn about how to live in a home.OTHER PETS: Squeakers was interested in meeting other dogs, but can be anxious if they're too forward or pushy. She would likely do well in a home with a relaxed, well-socialized dog with the patience for a yongster. [Case-By-Case (Must Meet First)]OWNER EXPERIENCE: Squeakers is still currently on a refeeding plan to help her regain some weight, and has some anatomical oddities in her back legs that will likely require a good relationship with a vet throughout her life. She would do best with someone that has an established relationship with a primary vet. [Some Experience]KIDS: Squeakers is very excited to meet new people, and that often presents with her jumping all over someone in an effort to get as close as possible. She has also shown some mild signs of resource guarding--eating faster when she's approached--and will likely do best around older kids that are able to understand how to interact with her and when to let her have her own space. Interactions with minors should be actively supervised for everyone's safety. [13+ (Must Meet First)]ACTIVITY LEVEL: Squeakers is a puppy with quite a bit of energy! She would do well with various kinds of both physical and mental enrichment in order to match her needs. She's a dog that will need both her body and mind to be settled before she's ready to willingly take a break, or she may try to make her own fun. [Good Walking Buddy / Olympic Athlete]VETERINARY CARE: One of the first things you'll notice about Squeakers--after she's done jumping into your lap and getting as close as possible--is her posture and back legs. She doesn't quite fully extend her back legs while standing, and while this could be a result of something genetic or environmental, she will likely need more intensive vet care as she continues to grow. Over time, she could be at a greater risk of arthritis, the development of luxating patellas, or other orthopedic discomfort. [Intensive]LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Squeakers is just beginning to learn new skills and fun tricks, and will do best learning with someone who can offer patience while she adjusts. Positive reinforcement will help Squeakers not only learn some fun cues but also help her to feel more comfortable and confident in herself! It will provide a good opportunity for her to bond with her new owner as well. [Intense]GROOMING: Routine brushing will help to minimize shedding in the home. [Minimal]August 11, 2026, 3:23 pm

Story
OTHER PETS: Bertha hasn't shown a whole lot of interest in other dogs during her stay here at TJO.. She would much rather ignore other pups and go off doing her own thing. While Bertha would enjoy being an only dog, we are open to the possibility that she may enjoy living with dog(s) of similar independence. [Case by Case (Must Meet First)]OWNER EXPERIENCE: Bertha is VERY sensitive to heat, and has a history of seizures if her body temp gets too high. Bertha's best fit would be with someone who has experience with caring for a dog with this type of medical need. [Very Experienced]KIDS: Bertha is comfortable with most handling and interacting, but has engaged in some mild resource guarding with high value possessions like bones or jerky while at TJO. She has been happy to trade for treats, but should still be left to enjoy her chosen chew without being bothered. Trading up with high value items will help her learn human presence means good things happen and helps reduce anxiety when it comes to resource-guarding. Minors should be actively supervised to keep everyone safe. [15+ / Dog Savvy (Must Meet First)]ACTIVITY LEVEL: Bertha is an independent girl who enjoys relaxing and exploring when it isn't too hot outside. She hasn't been the most enthusiastic about playing, but she always enjoys hanging around and relaxing with her favorite people. (Even if shes too big for your lap she will still attempt it) She does enjoy her time outside, but will often refuse to venture too far if she feels it's too hot. Even though she's quite good at self-regulating, she will still need to be monitored closely to ensure she does not overheat. Mild, appropriate exercise combined with mental enrichment such as food puzzles and games will help fully meet her needs. [Couch Potato] VETERINARY CARE: Brachycephalic dogs have a greater likelihood of developing breathing difficulties over the course of their life, they are also more apt to overheat in hot weather and are prone to eye infections. **Bertha is very sensitive to heat and will need to be supervised outside for short periods at a time** Care needs to be taken to ensure that their wrinkles are cleaned-- neglected wrinkles can become irritated or infected, and skin irritation spreads quickly throughout their body. A strong relationship with a vet is recommended to ensure that Bertha ages gracefully. [Above Average / Intense]GROOMING: Bertha, like any bulldog, will need her wrinkles cleaned routinely, as neglected wrinkles can become irritated or infection. Bertha may also do well with a professional groomer in order to keep her comfortable and clean. [Routine Cleaning]LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement will help Bertha bond with her new owner, build confidence, and learn new skills and fun tricks. [Minimal] August 11, 2026, 3:23 pm
