Story
Meet Beckham! ?? Beckham is a stunning 1-year-old Akita/Pitbull mix who’s ready to leave his past behind and start a new chapter! Found as a stray, this chocolate-colored cutie has a heart full of love and a whole lot of playful energy. Beckham is a total people-lover and greets everyone like a long-lost friend. He’s a high-energy pup who still has some learning to do—he gets a little jumpy when excited and doesn’t quite realize how big he is, so gentle corrections and structure will go a long way. He’s strong on leash, so a confident, active owner is the perfect match for this big lovebug. He’s done well with other dogs, doesn’t seem to mind cats, and we believe he’d be fine with respectful kids who can handle his goofy enthusiasm. Beckham also appears to be housebroken—bonus! Despite his size, Beckham thinks he’s a lap dog and loves to snuggle up close. If you’re looking for a beautiful, loyal, and affectionate companion with tons of potential, Beckham could be your perfect match.

Story
Meet Gucci! ? Gucci is a 6-year-young Pitbull with a heart as big as his name is stylish. This sweet boy came to us through no fault of his own after his family tragically lost their home in a fire. He arrived with his beloved sister Chanel, who is still waiting patiently for her forever home too. When Gucci first came to us, the stress of losing his home showed—he paced and struggled to settle during office time. But with a little time and patience, his true personality began to shine. Now, Gucci is a total lovebug who adores curling up in your lap for snuggles. He’s affectionate, gentle, and carries his favorite toys around proudly like prized treasures. Gucci walks with strength and enthusiasm, so continued leash work will help him become the best walking companion. He does well with both dogs and cats, and we believe he’d be just fine with respectful children. Gucci is a wonderful, resilient soul who deserves a second chance at the love and security every dog dreams of. If you’re looking for a loyal, cuddly, toy-loving companion, Gucci might just be your perfect match. ?

Story
Meet Regan ? Meet Regan – A True Family Gem Looking for a Second Chance ? This beautiful 3-year-old Plott Hound mix is Regan, and she’s as sweet and loving as they come. ? Sadly, Regan is with us through no fault of her own. Her previous owner, an older woman who adored her deeply, suffered a serious fall resulting in a broken arm and leg. With those injuries, she was no longer able to care for Regan — a heartbreaking decision made out of love. Regan was treated like absolute gold, and it shows. She’s housebroken, incredibly affectionate, and loves everyone she meets. She gets along great with other dogs and even cats — making her a perfect addition to just about any family. She would especially thrive in a home with children to love and grow with. ?? She does pull a bit on leash, but a little training will go a long way with this smart girl. She just has so much love and energy to give! We promised her heartbroken owner that we’d find Regan a new forever family that will love her just as much — and we know they’re out there. Are you her new forever home?! Apply below! ? ? Adoption application: https://www.gloucestercountynj.gov/FormCenter/Animal-Shelter-5/PreAdoption-Application-50

Story
Meet Cyrus Cyrus is a 2-year-old American Bulldog mix who has already lived through more than any dog should—but his future is looking bright. This 90 lb sweetheart was part of a cruelty investigation and was thankfully rescued just in time by authorities after being found tied up outside in dangerously high heat. Despite what he’s been through, Cyrus holds no grudges—just love. ? He’s an incredibly lovable boy who adores people and lights up around attention. Cyrus is good with other dogs, did just fine meeting cats, and we feel would be gentle with children. His size may be large, but so is his heart. ? He’s food motivated (a dream for training!) and eager to please, though he’s strong and can pull on leash—so a confident owner will be best for this big fella. He’s ready for someone who can match his strength with compassion and guide him into the next chapter of his life. ? After all he’s endured, Cyrus deserves a home filled with love, shade, snacks, and second chances. Could that be with you? ?Come meet Cyrus—you won’t be able to resist his big smile and even bigger heart! ?
