Story
Peach was found tied up outside of the Associated Humane Society of Tinton Falls in May of 2024. She spent 11 months in the shelter being overlooked despite her delightful temperament. Peach loves other dogs! She would do best in a home with other dogs and adult children only. Sometimes a little shy at first, but then respectful and wiggly. She is gentle when taking treats. She does not jump up often, and will respect your space when asked. She is house trained and crate trained, and has not shown any signs of separation anxiety. She knows sit, and is learning WAIT and DOWN, but is smart and excited to learn more. Princess Peach will prance when she sees someone she wants to see or meet. She is working on her leash manners, sometimes gets overexcited about bikers and joggers, so a home with someone who has had excitable dogs would be ideal. She is energetic, loves to play with toys - she is gentle and will not try to grab a toy from you but instead wait for you to toss it. She will chase and toss it back! Peach is a splooter, and a very sweet girl. Princess Peach has beautiful golden eyes to match her golden coat, but one of her eyes has flecks of baby blue! Will you give this Princess Peach the chance at a real family? She deserves a loving home of her own and her happily furever after!

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained,
Story
We have had Ranger since he was a baby. He has always been the most loving and sweet dog. After my son almost passed away last June with a heart issue, we got a small dog for him that is his recovery dog and best friend. Ranger has had jealousy issues and has now attacked the puppy twice. As much as I cannot bear to lose this usually gentle boy, I cannot risk death of the puppy as it would be too much for my son. Ranger loves to play and run. He is smart as a whip and extremely loyal and loving. We just want a loving home that can give him the sole attention that he needs. He does get along perfectly with cats. He is also not neutered. He is the perfect dog for someone wanting only one dog or with another large dog!

Zeus

Pointer Poodle (Standard)

Male, Young
Long Branch, NJ
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Zeus is a 3-4-year-old PoodlePointer weighing in at a strong and healthy 65 lbs. ready to transition into his forever home. Zeus has a medium energy level, thriving with about an hour of walking and a bit of fetch to keep his spirits high. But don’t let the playful side fool you he’s also a big fan of lazy, rainy movie days curled up beside his favorite human. He’s house-trained, crate-trained, and already knows several commands including sit, lay down, paw, heel, and his spot. Zeus is a fast learner and enjoys mental stimulation as much as physical activity. He thrives when boundaries are clear and loves to test them a little just to keep things interesting. Zeus is great with people affectionate, energetic, and loving. While he’s done well living with a bunny in the past, he can be reactive to other dogs, so a home without other pets (or with an experienced owner who can continue to train him. His ideal home would be with a loving family that has a fenced backyard where he can run.
