Story
Monty was adopted as a puppy from a rescue. His date of birth is 12/24/21 & weighs about 85 lbs. His Embark DNA says he’s a mix of Great Pyrenees, golden retriever, pitbull, lab, German shepherd, boxer. He’s playful & loving & loves people. He’s generally good with other dogs. We need to find a home better suited for him as an only dog & no small kids. He has resource guarding issues & it’s starting to affect our small dogs, one of whom is a senior with health issues. Our grandson is now walking and we want to avoid any possible issues as well. Monty is an overall good boy!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Little Pepper is in NJ and is available for foster or adoption.  Meet Pepper!    This adorable 4½-year-old Shih Tzu–Poodle mix is about 10 pounds of pure sweetness and spunk! Don’t be fooled by her petite frame — Pepper’s got some serious spring in her step. She’s an impressive little jumper who can easily scale a 4-foot fence, so any future home with a yard will need a secure 6-foot fence to keep her safe.   Pepper came into rescue in rough shape — badly matted — so her current photos show her with a shorter haircut, but normally she’s a fluffy, curly little cloud of a dog! With time, her soft coat will grow back into her natural, adorable puffball look.   She’s crate trained, working on her leash skills, and learning to enjoy her walks more every day. Pepper also loves climbing up to high spots (yes, even countertops and tables!) so her new family will need to make sure anything toxic or tempting is kept out of reach!   When it comes to other dogs, Pepper is friendly and tolerant as long as they give her a little personal space — she’s polite but not a fan of being pestered. She may be a bit shy at first, but once she trusts you, she’s a total lovebug who will leap right into your arms for cuddles.   Because she’s quick and agile, Pepper’s adopter will need to be careful with open doors that lead outside — she’s got a bit of a bolt instinct! When home alone, she does best safely crated.   If you’re looking for a smart, affectionate, funny little companion with a sprinkle of sass and a whole lot of love to give, Pepper might just be your perfect match.     She is up to date on her vaccines and will be altered. Her adoption donation is $450.  - Adopting an animal 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 animal have been through they deserve a loving, committed home. How to Adopt Me!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Onyx is a playful pup who is currently with our partner rescue in Louisiana but hoping to come to NJ soon. We do offer a foster-to-adopt trial to approved adopters. Meet Onyx  Onyx is everything you love about puppies wrapped up in one adorable, wiggly package. Sweet, playful, and always ready for fun, he’s the kind of pup who brings energy and joy wherever he goes.   Like his brother Jax, he’s a big fan of toys (the more, the better), loves a good splash in the kiddie pool, and is always up for an adventure—followed, of course, by some well-earned cuddle time. Onyx is expected to grow into a medium-sized dog, making him a great fit for many homes.   Like any young puppy, Onyx is still learning the ropes. He’s in that curious, chew-everything phase and will need a family willing to guide him with patience, consistency, and training. He may be a little bit of a handful right now—but that’s all part of the puppy charm.   With the right home, Onyx is going to grow into an incredible, loyal companion who will keep you smiling every single day. Ready to bring home the fun? Onyx can’t wait to meet you! Onyx is fixed, microchipped and up to date on vaccines. His adoption donation is $550. - 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.
