Story
Chance is quite literally a dream dog. He is a chill 12 year old American Bulldog - housebroken, perfect on a leash, barely barks, is good with children, all humans, and other dogs. 18 months ago, I rescued him from a shelter. Caring for a new baby in the family and increased work travel has forced me to spend more time away from home than ever before. Chance deserves an owner who can give him the time and attention he deserves.

Here are fun facts his owner wants you to know: - Twix / 3yo / Male/ Neutered / 65 lbs / In great health - Mastiff/Herding mix - Up to date on vax since 8/25/25 - Will do best with experienced, active dog owners who would be able to be consistent with good daily habits to strengthen his foundational training.

Story
Make A Difference in your Community - Adopt a Shelter Dog! Would you like to foster a Shelter Survivor? For more information, visit us at www.sheltersurvivors.com This is sweet little Tippy! Tippy is a five pound bundle of love. She is about 8 years old. Tippy was surrendered to us when her owner passed away and her family could no longer care for her. Right before she entered our care, she jumped off of something that was too high for her and she broke her paw. Tippy has completely healed now and she is back to being able to run and play as usual. We have taught Tippy not to jump off of things and to use steps if necessary to get down from higher places. She is so smart and a quick learner. We do not have her go up and down flights of stairs simply because we do not want her to put consistent pressure on her joints or tiny bones. That's fine by Tippy because her favorite place is to be in her foster mom's arms. Tippy was adopted recently, but returned about 6 weeks later. While Tippy is super loving and sweet, she has what we consider a typical Chihuahua personality. She will nip and bite if she is scared or challenged at times. It proved to be too much for her adoptive family and as heartbroken as they were, they did not feel that they could manage Tippy's behavior. We completely understood and Tippy is back with her foster family. She acclimated back into her foster home without any issues. She proved to be the same sweet and sassy girl that she was when she left her foster home. She fell right back into her foster home routines. Tippy spends her time between two foster homes. In one home, Tippy has a little more freedom. She has a large space to roam, but we do not allow her to go up and down stairs (as we stated before). She is with one person in this home and there are no other pets. She loves the low-key life in this foster home. Sometimes Tippy also spends time in another foster home, In this home, there are other dogs that live with her. While Tippy does not mind the company of the other dogs, she does not like when they get too excited. We believe she would do best as an only pet or she would be fine living with another dog or cat that is super chill and tolerant of her big personality. In this home there are also multiple people. Tippy is a typical Chihuahua. She will attach herself to one person and want to be with them. She doesn't mind the other people in the household, but she definitely wants "her person" when that person is home. Tippy is crate trained, but in both homes she has a pen that she sleeps in at night. She sleeps through the night in her pen which is in the bedroom where her foster mom sleeps. She does have a large crate that she stays in in one foster home when her foster mom is away; in the other home she has a larger pen that she stays in. Because of Tippy's size and personality, we are looking for an experienced Chihuahua owner without children. Older teenagers may be okay as long as they will respect Tippy's space when she needs it. Tippy has had so much change in her little life the last few months. She has adjusted so well in each situation, but it's time for Tippy to find her forever home. She needs a Chihuahua savvy family who will understand what she wants or needs. She gives clear signals when she is scared and/or unhappy. Tippy is completely house trained! Which is amazing for a small dog! LOL! Tippy is wee-wee pad trained as well, but usually will do her business outside. She rarely uses her wee wee pad, but we do keep one in her pen for her. She is very clean and neat. She will need a little patience at first when meeting a new person. She can be a little shy. It doesn't take too long for her to understand that you are her friend. Tippy loves to go for walks outside. She also enjoys a good game of fetch. She is spunky, sassy, and sweet and cuddly all in one. If you think that you could provide the loving home that Tippy deserves, please fill out an application for her. Tippy is spayed, up-to-date on vaccinations and house trained. To adopt Tippy, please complete our online dog application by going to sheltersurvivors.com Click on the home page, look for "Application" at the top of the home page, and complete the application. Hit the submit button once you have completed the application in its entirety. This will expedite the adoption process. Adoption Fee: $400.00

Story
Make A Difference in your Community - Adopt a Shelter Dog! Would you like to foster a Shelter Survivor? For more information, visit us at www.sheltersurvivors.com Meet Skylar! If you love endless puppy-dog kisses, Skylar is the pup for you! She is a happy, wiggly, and friendly pup that wants to be friends with everyone she meets! People usually comment on how beautiful she is and how her fur is velvety soft. She's housetrained, loves going for long walks, and walks very well on a leash. She responds well to training and is eager to learn although she really just wants to snuggle on the couch and get endless pets. Skylar is crate trained and sleeps in her crate at night and when her foster parents go to work. She can quickly get over-excited when playing so a more laid-back dog that is tolerant of her puppy-like tendencies might be a good fit or she would be happy as your one-and-only so she can have you all to herself. We recommend slow introductions so new pets can get properly acquainted. Skylar likes to be left alone when she's eating and prefers not to share her toys so a home with older children is required. Skylar is a super-sweet pup and would make a lovely addition to an active home with some dog experience and willingness to keep up with her training. Skylar is spayed and up-to-date on vaccinations, house trained and microchipped. To adopt Skylar, please complete our online dog application by going to sheltersurvivors.com Click on the home page, look for "Application" at the top of the home page, and complete the application.

Story
Make A Difference in your Community - Adopt a Shelter Dog! Would you like to foster a Shelter Survivor? For more information, visit us at www.sheltersurvivors.com THIS IS A COURTESY POSTING – Betty is not in one of our foster homes, we are assisting her owners with finding her a new home. Meet Betty! This beautiful 5-year-old girl needs a new home. Betty has hip/knee dysplasia, a very manageable condition, but when she is not feeling well she doesn’t like to play and needs some downtime. She gives warning signs when she is overstimulated, and has never bitten anyone, but she did snap at the little girl in her current home and her parents feel she would do best in home without small children who might not understand when she needs space. Older children would be fine! Betty’s dysplasia doesn’t slow her down at all and only bothers her when she spends a long period of time running around. She currently does not need any pain medication. She loves going on walks and hikes! She also enjoys running around her backyard and chasing balls, and she likes to chase after the water from hoses and sprinklers. She adores swimming! Betty loves to cuddle, sit on your lap, and lay underneath blankets (she sleeps in bed with her parents). She likes bones, bully sticks, and chewing up stuffed animals. She is completely housetrained and rings a bell when she needs to go outside. She is good with commands and is very treat driven. Betty likes to be introduced slowly to new, unfamiliar dogs. She gets along with dogs she knows and routinely visits family/friends that have dogs of their own, but she can be a bit protective around her food. Her parents have no problem sticking their hands into her food bowl while she is eating, she is only protective of her food when another dog is near her. She can be a bit anxious when meeting new people, and may bark or growl, but only because she is afraid. Once she gets to know you, she is friendly and affectionate. Betty is spayed and her owners are getting her shots updated. She weighs about 50 pounds. Betty is afraid of fireworks and thunder and her vet has prescribed anxiety medication for these situations. If you would like more information or would like to arrange to meet Betty, please fill out an application for her and we will put you in touch with her owners. She is an absolutely great dog! To adopt Betty, please complete our online dog application at https://www.sheltersurvivors.com/application.html and return it to shelter.survivors.nj@gmail.com.

Make A Difference in your Community - Adopt a Shelter Dog! Would you like to foster a Shelter Survivor? For more information, visit us at www.sheltersurvivors.com Meet Oliver: Your Loyal Adventure Buddy! Looking for a devoted companion who'll fill your days with joy? Meet Oliver, a handsome 3-year-old Lab/Pit mix with a heart of gold! This neutered boy will celebrate his 4th birthday this November, and he's hoping to do it in his forever home. Oliver thrives on human connection and routine, making him a predictable and reliable companion. He's been professionally trained and continues to learn, showing what a good listener he truly is. While he responds well to consistent guidance, he needs a calm, firm hand rather than raised voices, as he can be sensitive to yelling. His playful spirit shines brightest during games of "catch me if you can", he'll grab a toy, flash those soulful eyes, and dash off hoping you'll join in the fun! And if you forget his bedtime toothbrush treat? Expect the gentlest nudges until you remember! Speaking of nudges, Oliver has mastered the art of gentle communication! When he needs to go outside for a potty break, wants to remind you about a promised treat, or is simply in the mood to play, he'll softly nudge your arm with his nose. It's his polite way of saying, "Excuse me, but I believe we have some unfinished business!" Oliver is quite the communicator in other ways too! If you happen to leave for a while and forgot something important (like his water or food), he'll let you know when you return with the most melodious "wooo whoo whooowooo" howls, his special way of expressing his feelings that's impossible not to smile at. One of Oliver's most endearing qualities is his emotional intelligence. When you're feeling down, he'll be right by your side, offering comfort and unconditional support, a true emotional support companion who senses when his humans need extra love. This loyal boy forms deep bonds with his people and can experience separation anxiety when routines change. Some CBD calming chews have worked wonders to help him feel secure during transitions. Oliver doesn't do well in standard crates, but his current family will provide his special high-anxiety crate designed to help him feel safe and secure – one less thing for you to worry about! Oliver is fully up-to-date on all his vaccinations and shots, so you can welcome him home with complete peace of mind about his health. Oliver would do best as the only pet in a home with experienced dog owners who understand larger breeds. He's never shared his space with other pets and would prefer to keep all your love and attention for himself! Are you ready to welcome this lovable goofball into your life? Oliver is ready to fill your home with endless love, playful antics, and unwavering loyalty. To adopt Oliver, please complete our online dog application by going to sheltersurvivors.com Click on the home page, look for "Application" at the top of the home page, and complete the application. Hit the submit button once you have completed the application in its entirety. This will expedite the adoption process. Adoption Fee: $400.00
