Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Ginger will be in NJ on 8/1   Meet one of our adorable “rainbow litter” puppies—each one completely unique, but all equally lovable. These Lab/Pit mix babies are everything you’d expect from happy, healthy puppies: affectionate, goofy, playful, and full of that irresistible puppy charm. They were found together in a trailer park, and despite their rough start, they are thriving and ready to start their next chapter with families of their own. With three girls and two boys in the litter, no two look alike—different colors, different coat textures, and even different eye colors make each pup truly one of a kind. Their mama appears to be a yellow Lab mix around 65–70 lbs, and while dad is unknown, we expect these pups to grow into beautiful, medium-to-large dogs (likely around 75 lbs). They are at the perfect age to bond with their forever families and begin puppy training, socialization, and all the fun (and chaos!) that comes with raising a puppy. Whether you’re looking for a hiking buddy, a couch snuggler, or a best friend for life—one of these pups could be your perfect match. Ready to add a little color (and a lot of love) to your life? Apply to adopt today! The puppies are altered, micro-chipped, and up to date on puppy vaccines. Their adoption donation is $600.  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. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 28, 2026, 1:25 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Rex is with our partner rescue down south and can come to NJ with an approved foster or adopter. Meet Rex, a seriously handsome Frenchie with the kind of coloring that turns heads everywhere he goes. But it’s not just his looks—this boy has a soft, affectionate side that shines the moment he’s around people. Rex loves attention, knows his name, and is already soaking up life as a cherished companion. He’s learning quickly from the other dogs in his foster home and is doing well using the doggy door, though he may still have the occasional accident as he settles into a routine. Like many dogs adjusting to a new life, he’s figuring things out day by day—and doing a great job. Rex will be starting treatment for heartworm once he arrives in New Jersey. This will involve two vet visits and a few weeks of rest and restricted activity to help him heal fully. Our team will guide his adopter through every step, and we’re committed to making sure he gets the care he needs to thrive. What Rex really wants is simple: a home where he can be loved, doted on, and finally enjoy life as a true family member. If you’re ready to open your heart to a sweet, resilient boy who’s just beginning his next chapter, Rex is waiting for you. Rex is up to date on vaccines and is positive for heartworm, he will be treated when he arrives in NJ. Treatment will require 2 trips to our vet's office in Barnegat, NJ.  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.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Rex is a very handsome boy is looking for a new home. He is with our rescue partner in Louisiana. We do offer a foster-to-adopt trial for approved adopters. Meet Rex  Rex didn’t end up in rescue because of anything he did wrong—his family lost their home, and this sweet boy lost his along with it. Now he’s patiently waiting for a fresh start with someone who will love him forever. At just 8 months old, Rex is already showing what a special dog he is. He’s a stunning Great Dane mix and will likely grow into a big, handsome boy around 75–80 pounds—but his personality is all softness. He’s incredibly gentle and very submissive, the kind of dog who just wants to be close and make you happy. Rex has a playful side, too—he enjoys toys and a good romp—but he’s not over-the-top or hyper for his age and size. He has a calm, easygoing energy that makes him a joy to be around. And when he gets excited, watch out for that adorable “happy tail” that tells you just how much he loves life. He’s crate-trained, walks nicely on leash, and has a quiet, sweet demeanor that makes him an easy addition to many homes. Whether you’re looking for a walking buddy, a couch companion, or a loyal best friend, Rex is ready to step into that role. Most of all, Rex is just a good boy—with a big heart, gentle soul, and so much love to give. If you’re ready to give this beautiful black dog the second chance he deserves, Rex is ready to meet you. Rex is fixed, is micro-chipped and is up to date on vaccines. He tested negative for heartworm. His adoption donation is $6 00.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Rascal will be in NJ on 8/1 Meet Rascal — and yes, you read that right, he’s a Doxie-Poo (that’s Dachshund + Poodle, with a little “doc-doc” charm mixed in). This sweet 7-year-old boy recently lost his world when his owner passed away. He was found living alongside a couple of other dogs, and now he’s looking for a soft place to land and someone to love him again. Rascal is calm, gentle, and happiest when he’s close to his person. He’s the kind of dog who will quietly keep you company, soaking up attention without demanding too much. Low energy and easygoing, he’s perfect for a home that appreciates a peaceful companion. Don’t let his mellow personality fool you—this little guy has some surprising athletic skills and can clear a 30-inch barrier, so he’ll need a home with a secure, tall fence to keep him safe. Rascal is friendly, quiet, and full of quiet devotion. After everything he’s been through, he deserves a second chance at love—and he’s ready to give his whole heart in return. If you’re looking for a loyal little shadow who just wants to be near you, Rascal might be your perfect match. Rascal is up to date on vaccines and tested negative for heartworm.  He has been neutered and has a microchip.
