Pluto

Chihuahua Dachshund

Male, Adult
Oakland, NJ
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Pluto is a fun friendly young guy, only about 2-3 years old but with some medical issues already at his young age... he has a significant heart murmur and some heart disease, and was blind in one eye due to either an old injury or congenital defect. He's since had his painful eye removed and has recovered well from surgery. He's been started on heart medication (vetmedin) longterm to hopefully keep him alive and well as long as possible, and isn't showing any outward signs of heart disease at this time. Pluto craves human attention and is a fun active pup, loves to shred stuffed toys and go for walks. He loves to play with (spayed!) female dogs (and flirt a bit), can be a little more choosy about male doggy friends. Our little Plutonium can be a bit explosive when he sees other dogs on walks and barks... more like shrieks especially at bigger dogs. We aren't quite sure of his breed but he's 12lbs full grown with some cute wiry whiskers. Please submit an application to adopt Pluto Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: Tan Age: 3yrs 2mths 1wks

Snickers

Hound (Unknown Type) Beagle

Male, Adult
Oakland, NJ
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Snickers is one of several mixed breeds who came to us from a local home who became overwhelmed with too many dogs... another important reminder of why spay/neuter is so important! In just a few years, 2 dogs and their offspring became 20+!!! One of our local rescue partners is working on altering the remaining dogs in the home to put an end to the breeding, but we have taken in several young adults from the situation. They were TERRIFIED being removed from the only home they ever knew, cowering in corners clinging to each other and avoiding human contact, but our staff has been working with them closely and their sweet natures are quickly becoming apparent. Snickers is a 1 1/2 yr old mixed breed hound at 45lbs full grown. Snickers was terrified and had never been out of the house/yard or on a leash, but is warming up to staff and learning to enjoy walks. He loves other dogs and would benefit from a quieter patient adult home with a compatible more confident dog to learn from and follow.

Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Eliza!This young adult petite border collie mix is looking for a special person to continue her training and socialization. She is very fearful and distrustful of people until she bonds, but once she trusts is a fun high energy walking, hiking and jogging companion with her chosen buddy. She's fearful and avoids other dogs and is looking for a calmer experienced adult home with just one person she can bond to and protect. She loves to catch frisbees and play fetch and is a dog who needs a "job" to keep her mind busy and give her an appropriate outlet for her energy... no couch potatoes for this dog! Eliza is about 35lbs full grown and has the intelligence and energy of a border collie, with a bit more of the independent attitude of a shiba or spitz type breed. *Multiple meets required* Please submit an application for an appointment to meet her Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Age: 5yrs 9mths 3wks

Male, Adult
Oakland, NJ
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Noel is a shy but sweet gentle mixed breed who was abandoned due to landlord issues. He's about 5 years old and we aren't quite sure of his mix- he has a cute crooked underbite and face like some type of boston, frenchie or pug mix but the size and body of a border collie type. He's a bit thin at 35lbs and should fill out a little but is a perfect medium size. He seems to get along with the dogs he's met so far and would like a calm quiet home where he can feel safe. Please submit an application to meet him Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 35 Age: 5yrs 4mths 0wks

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Georgie urgently needs a foster or hospice home!This sweet senior was abandoned by his owner in the heat, stumbling down the street having a hard time walking. He's a sweet elderbull, a big gentle giant at 77lbs. He has severe arthritis and some trouble getting up at first but is improving on pain medication and supplements and is feeling better. He's been waiting in a crowded inner city animal control waiting for a rescue to have space for him, and no senior should spend their last days in a concrete kennel. Please reach out if you would like to open your home to him, or if you work with a reputable rescue that would like to pull him. He seems to be dog-friendly and has been nothing but sweet and gentle with everyone who meets him Primary Color: Red Weight: 77 Age: 12yrs 0mths 2wks

Oakland, NJ
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Beagle fans, meet Jackson! This lovely senior was surrendered because his owner was moving into senior housing and no longer able to care for him. He's a friendly social happy guy who always looks like he's smiling and has been happy to make new dog and human friends since coming to the shelter and loves his walks and just hanging around with people. Jackson came in unhealthily obese, but a full medical work up showed no underlying cause other than too many snacks! So he's on a strict diet and working on his figure. He does have heart disease that he's on medication for longterm to hopefully keep him around as long as possible, and weight loss will help take some strain off his heart as well. Please submit an application to foster or adopt Jackson Primary Color: Tri Color Age: 7yrs 7mths 0wks
