************ADOPTION EVENT************* Saturday, Feb. 21, 2026 At Paw Dazzle Pet Bakery and Boutique in Smithville NJ 08205 11am - 1pm (609)748-7110 Isabella is a 14-week-old mixed breed puppy. She was abandoned at a shelter with her siblings. She is very sweet and loves attention.

She will be spayed and will come with all age-appropriate vaccinations, including rabies, distemper, microchipped and on flea preventative. SHe is looking for a loving family who can help him learn the ropes of housebreaking and leash training. She is full of puppy energy, so patience and lots of love are key! If you’re interested in making Isabella part of your family, please submit an application. Www.atlanticcountycanines.com If approved, one of our volunteers will reach out to set up an appointment since all our animals are currently in foster homes.

Story
Little mouse is a Senior blind 12+ year-old female Chihuahua. She weighs approximately 5 pounds. We took her into our rescue after she was found walking down the street and nobody reclaimed her. She gets along with other dogs. She is up-to-date on all shots and we did a dental on her that was much needed. With her being blind we are looking for a calm home that can accommodate her needs. She’s very affectionate once she gets to know you and feels comfortable. She doesn’t have a mean bone in her body. If interested fill out a complete application thank you.

Story
‼️ABANDONED at a NJ boarding kennel‼️ **********“COURTESY POST****************..please serious inquiries only. COURTESY POST ATLANTIC COUNTY CANINES DOES NOT HAVE THIS DOG AND DOES NOT MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS ON THE DOGS HEALTH OR TEMPERAMENT. Bella and her son Cosmo, who have been through so much. Their story is truly heartbreaking—both were left at a local boarding kennel and, sadly, their owners never returned for them. Now we’re trying to help them find a new family that will show them what love really means. They do not have to be adopted together. Bella is approximately six years old, spayed, up-to-date on all her shots, and appears to be housebroken. She’s eager to please and absolutely adores attention once she gets comfortable with you. She walks beautifully on a leash and just wants someone to love her back. If you already have another dog at home, we’d need to arrange a meet and greet first to make sure everyone gets along. Our biggest hope is to find Bella (and hopefully Cosmo as well) a home where she’ll never have to worry about being abandoned again. If you or anyone you know can help us give Bella the loving future she deserves, please reach out.

Story
Please note, this is a courtesy post—Atlantic County Canines makes no claims or warranties regarding Cosmo’s temperament or health. Our only goal is to help these two find the loving home they desperately need. Both Cosmo and Bella were heartbreakingly left at a local New Jersey boarding kennel. Their owners never returned for them, even though they once lived in a home.Cosmo is especially shy and undersocialized; it took us several minutes just to gain his trust. However, once he warms up, he enjoys attention from those he knows. He is good with everyone at the kennel after getting comfortable but remains fearful in new situations. He is neutered and up-to-date on all his shots. He is very sweet with the people he knows. We don’t know how Cosmo reacts to other dogs besides his mother, Bella (we believe she is his mom). If you already have another dog at home, we’d want to arrange a meet-and-greet first to ensure everyone gets along safely. Please consider opening your heart and home to Cosmo (and possibly Bella). If you have any questions or would like more information about meeting them, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re simply trying our best to help these deserving dogs find the family that will finally show them what love really means.
