Story
Lyla is a beautiful dog in need of her own home. She's is in a loving foster home and learning what it means to be a dog playing, exploring, and making new furry friends. Lyla wasn't socialized with humans as a puppy and she is gaining confidence each day. She will need someone that is going to be patient and understand her shy nature. She is about 9 months old and weighs approximately 45-50 pounds. She has one brown eye and one blue eye. She is crate trained and housebroken. If you're looking to add a wonderful, playful companion to your family, please consider adopting Lyla. Feel free to reach out if you want to learn more about this amazing pup!

Story
We’d like to introduce you to Chloe, a sweet doodle who is currently in our care and looking for a loving home. Chloe and another female doodle were found running down the street and were taken to the local shelter. Sadly, no one ever came looking for them. When they first arrived, both girls were in rough shape, with severely matted fur.  Since then, Chloe has been cleaned up and is starting to really blossom. We are still getting to know her, but so far she has been incredibly sweet and affectionate. She loves attention and enjoys being close to people. She also seems to do well with other dogs and has been friendly with the humans she’s met. We do not yet know how she does with children, so any introductions should be done slowly and thoughtfully. We are also not certain if Chloe is fully housebroken, and we want potential adopters to be aware that she may need some patience, consistent training, and understanding as she adjusts to life in a new home. One thing we know for sure: Chloe is a gentle, loving dog who truly deserves a safe, caring, and stable home. She is up to date on her shots and is scheduled to be spayed soon. We will continue to update her information as we learn more about this beautiful girl. If you feel that Chloe might be the right fit for you, or if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Story
Sophia*****INTRODUCING SOPHIA****** MORE INFO SOON!!! When we first saw the little dog we later named Sophia, we knew we had to step in. She had been found as a stray, and it was hard to tell what she even was under all the matted fur. We could see she was some kind of poodle mix. Our team dropped everything, and with the help of a caring local groomer, we got to work. Years of thick, painful, dirty matting covered her body. Through it all, Sophia was sweet and gentle from the very first moment. Her tail never stopped wagging, and she seemed to hug everyone she met, as if she knew she was finally safe. It took three of us working side by side, two clippers running at the same time, for four hours to free her from all that matting. Underneath it all, a beautiful doodle emerged, most likely an Aussiedoodle. Watching her feet touch the ground without painful mats for the first time was truly amazing. She walked lighter, happier, as if she finally understood that the worst was behind her.

Story
Please note, this is a courtesy post—Atlantic County Canines makes no claims or warranties regarding Cosmo’s temperament or health. Our only goal is to help these two find the loving home they desperately need. Both Cosmo and Bella were heartbreakingly left at a local New Jersey boarding kennel. Their owners never returned for them, even though they once lived in a home.Cosmo is especially shy and undersocialized; it took us several minutes just to gain his trust. However, once he warms up, he enjoys attention from those he knows. He is good with everyone at the kennel after getting comfortable but remains fearful in new situations. He is neutered and up-to-date on all his shots. He is very sweet with the people he knows. We don’t know how Cosmo reacts to other dogs besides his mother, Bella (we believe she is his mom). If you already have another dog at home, we’d want to arrange a meet-and-greet first to ensure everyone gets along safely. Please consider opening your heart and home to Cosmo (and possibly Bella). If you have any questions or would like more information about meeting them, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re simply trying our best to help these deserving dogs find the family that will finally show them what love really means.
