Story

Shoto is a 2-year-old Australian Shepherd who has been a part of our family. He is a beautiful, energetic, and intelligent dog with lots of personality. We are looking for a loving, responsible home that can give him the time, attention, exercise, and space he deserves. Shoto would do best with someone who understands the Australian Shepherd breed and can keep up with his energy levels and exercise needs. An active household with a yard would be ideal. We want to find him a family that will be patient with him, continue working on his training, and give him the love and care he deserves. Shoto is energetic, intelligent, playful, and full of life. Rehoming him is not an easy decision, but with our growing family and a new baby, we want to make sure he goes to a home where his needs can be fully met. Our priority is finding him a safe, loving, and permanent home where he can thrive.

Story

Ollie is 4 years old and a big soft baby. He’s sweet, curious, and good with kids and other pets. I took Ollie in when his previous owner could no longer provide the care he needed. I’m housing him for now, but I don’t have the time to give him the attention he deserves. I’m looking for a loving, stable home with someone who has the time and ability to care for him properly and make him part of the family.

Story

If your application is a possible match, a volunteer will get back to you within 48 hrs. No inquiries, please, without an application. Meet Lovebug, a stunning 3-year-old American Bulldog mix whose name perfectly reflects her sweet and affectionate nature. Rescued from a local New Jersey shelter, Lovebug is a joyful soul who adores everyone she meets. She has a zest for life that’s as big as her heart, and her playful energy is bound to bring a smile to your face. Lovebug is good on leash and enjoys quiet, short walks where she can take in her surroundings at a gentle pace. She would absolutely love a fenced yard where she can romp and play to her heart’s content. She takes treats gently, is eager to please, and thrives on human connection. A home with older kids is preferred due to her playful nature and her tendency to think she’s a lap dog! Lovebug does have a medical condition that requires special care. Despite two surgeries to address her challenges, she sometimes struggles with breathing and regurgitation when she gets overexcited. She’s currently on a low level of medication that helps keep her calm, and this works successfully about 90% of the time. Because of this, she needs a peaceful home with minimal commotion to help her stay relaxed and comfortable. She would do best as the only pet in the household, where she can soak up all the love and attention. Lovebug is ready to find a dedicated and patient family who will give her the calm, nurturing environment she needs to thrive. One interaction with this amazing girl, and you’ll see why her name is Lovebug. She’s ready to fill your life with endless love and loyalty—are you ready to be her forever family?

Harlem

American Staffordshire Terrier

Female, Young

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Harlem is a beautiful 2½-year-old girl who found herself at Animal Control through no fault of her own when her family’s living circumstances changed. This bright, funny, and spirited young dog has so much love and personality to share. Harlem is incredibly smart and eager to please—she learns new things in a flash and thrives when given attention and structure. During her short time in a foster home, she was an absolute gem—crate trained, housebroken, and affectionate with her people. Sadly, being back in a kennel has been very stressful for her, and it’s clear she longs to be back in a loving home where she can relax and shine. Because of her spunky, playful energy, Harlem would probably do best in a home with older children who can match her enthusiasm and enjoy her fun-loving personality. Harlem is fully vetted and ready to start her next chapter. She deserves a family who will see her for the wonderful, loyal companion she is and give her the stability and love she’s been missing.
