Story
Meet Bruno, a sweet and sturdy medium-sized 10-year-old pup who has spent his whole life wrapped in love. For a decade, he has been part of a family that adored him, and it shows he is calm, affectionate, and wonderfully well-behaved. Sadly, his parents are facing serious medical challenges and can no longer give Bruno the care he deserves. They love him deeply and are hoping to find a home that will treasure him just as much. Bruno still has plenty of tail wags, slow strolls, and cuddle sessions ahead of him. He is looking for someone who can offer stability, kindness, and a soft place to land.

Story
Bruce is loving sweet boy, who loves attention and belly rubs, horror movies, pup cups, long walks, the dog park, car rides out the window and smelling everything. He is a curious and active boy but loves to chill and is a big baby. He is great with other animals and people and kids and can be shy at times but sweet. He is the best, and it breaks my heart to be at this point with him

Story
She is a loving, gentle, and incredibly loyal companion who bonds quickly with her people. She loves going outside, taking long walks, and sniffing everything she can, she could explore for an hour if you let her lol. She also knows how to bark on command (we were shocked the first time she did it!), and she enjoys belly rubs more than anything. Her favorite treat in the world is strawberries she absolutely loves loves them. She’s affectionate, friendly, and would make a wonderful addition to a home that can give her plenty of love, attention, and outdoor time. We would prefer if she goes to a family or a couple, just someone who has time to attend to her needs.

Story
Luna is a good dog. She’s protective of her owner, nothing to drastic. She’s very lovable but she has to warm up to you. She has separation anxiety with who ever she is attached to. But she loves walks and likes to drink out of the toilet bowl so be careful when you go to use the bathroom haha. But overall Luna is so full of life and is so lovable she just needs someone to love her as much as the love she gives out. Luna is 6 years old, I adopted when she was only a 1 years old. These past 5 years have been wonderful with her she’s such a character. She needs someone who will be her best friend and give her the world because that’s exactly what she’ll be for you.

Astro

Chihuahua

Male, 2 yrs
Englewood, NJ
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats,
Story
Astro is a fun-loving, sociable, and affectionate little guy. He's sweet with people, other dogs, and cats! Astro is also a lap buddy. We're working on his housebreaking. For the time being, he'd do well with a belly band to help him learn. Because of his small size, a family with respectful children would be best. Astro is getting up to date on vaccines and will be neutered soon. Interested in adopting this wonderful little guy with the giant ears? Please email Start II at start2nj@yahoo.com.

Jake

Spaniel (Unknown Type)

Male, Young
Englewood, NJ
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Jake is an adorable 26-pound cocker spaniel mix who loves to play fetch. He has high energy and would really enjoy having a fenced-in yard where he can run and play fetch freely. Jake would also be happy with an owner who enjoys taking long walks or going for jogs. Jake's Ideal Home Jake does not like cats, so he would do best in a home without them. However, he gets along well with children who are seven years old and up. Jake can take a few minutes to warm up to adults, but once he feels comfortable, he is quick to climb into your lap, give kisses, and ask to play fetch. Please email Start II at start2nj@yahoo.com.
