Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.NJ Buddy is in NJ as of 9/20. Meet Buddy — 16 pounds of sweetness just waiting for his moment. This 3-year-old doxy/poodle mix may be small in size, but he’s got a heart that’s ready to grow big for the right person. Buddy came to us after being picked up by Animal Control, where he was living alongside a couple of other dogs (who are also looking for homes). While we don’t know everything about his past, it’s clear he’s been through a lot—and he’s still holding onto hope. Buddy can be a little cautious and timid when first meeting new people, but give him a little time and patience, and you’ll see his true personality shine. Once he feels safe, he becomes playful, affectionate, and incredibly endearing. He’s the kind of dog who will bond deeply with his person and make you feel like the center of his world. At just 16 pounds, Buddy is the perfect size for cuddling on the couch, joining you for walks, or simply being your quiet little shadow around the house. What Buddy needs most is someone willing to go slow, let him build trust, and show him what love really feels like. In return, you’ll get a loyal, loving companion who will never take a second chance for granted. Buddy has waited long enough. Let’s find him the safe, happy home he deserves. Buddy is up-to-date on vaccines and tested negative for heartworm. He has been neutered and has a microchip. His adoption fee is $500. Adopting a dog is a commitment that will require annual veterinary care at a minimum, training, exercise, enrichment, etc. Pet care is not cheap or easy and adopters should consider the costs, time and training   prior to adoption. After all these dogs have been through, they deserve a loving, committed home.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.NJ Jax is looking for his forever home  Meet Jax!  This precious 10-year-old pug weighs just 17.5 pounds and has the cutest little underbite!  Jax may be a little timid at first, but once he warms up, he’s an absolute sweetheart who just wants to be your lap dog.  He’s mellow, crate-trained, quiet, and gets along with dogs and cats. We believe he’s house-trained, too! He was around kids in his previous home and would likely do best with older, gentle children. Jax is a healthy senior boy with so much love left to give. All he needs is someone to give him a cozy home and a soft place to snuggle.  Jax is up to date on vaccines and tested negative for heartworm.  He has been neutered and has a microchip. His adoption fee is $300.  Adopting a dog is a commitment that will require annual veterinary care at a minimum, training, exercise, enrichment, etc. Pet care is not cheap or easy and adopters should consider the costs, time and training   prior to adoption.

Get ready for the cutest little zoomies you’ve ever seen. With his unique coat pattern and soulful eyes, Mookie is as beautiful on the outside as he is on the inside. He’s a total love bug who just wants someone to adore—and he’ll give that love right back tenfold. Mookie is fixed, micro-chipped, and up to date on vaccines.
