Story
Hi, my name is Vader. I’m a 2 and a half year old Rottweiler who is in need of a forever home. I have been with my owner for the past 2+ years, however due to his new work schedule and living arrangement Some things you should know about me: - I am an energetic boy who loves to chase and play fetch with my ball. - I am the world’s clingiest dog and I love to follow you around to be nosey in everything you do. - I have gone through obedience training - I am House/Crate trained, but occasionally get into an unattended garbage can if it smells interesting enough - I currently live with another dog who I was raised with, but I get reactive to outside animals/pets- I love kids, people, and belly rubs- IN NEED OF A HOME BEFORE SEPTEMBER. IF NOT I’LL HAVE TO BE SURRENDERED TO NEWARK ANIMAL SHELTER WHERE I WILL BE PUT DOWN WITHIN THE WEEK! Please help save my life and adopt me. Owner is not looking for any money, just a suitable home for me to live out the rest of my days.

Story
🐾 ​Zoomy is a brilliant, high-energy puppy who is ready to find her forever home! Originally adopted from NY ACC at 4 months old, she acclimated to home life instantly—proving just how resilient and adaptable she is. Zoomy is essentially a big, energized bundle of love who absolutely adores playing, running, and being the center of attention. ​She is incredibly intelligent and learns fast, but because of a busy schedule, I haven't been able to give her the consistent, structured training she craves. Zoomy has so much untapped potential and is looking for an active family or handler who has the time to dedicate to her training. With the right guidance and a little mental stimulation, she is going to be an absolutely fantastic, loyal best friend. If you’re looking for a smart, fun-loving companion to grow with, Zoomy is your girl!

Story
Nova is my baby. Due to unfortunate circumstances, when my lease was up I am now homeless. I was getting some help from the state towards the rent because my son was a minor but now that he's 18 I lost that help and now my baby is at my mothers. She is selling her house and can't take her to the 55 plus community. She is my emotional support dog and I am crying writing this but she needs a good home. PLEASE someone with a good heart that understands she needs a backyard to run in help me. When I clicked experienced adopter I just need the person to know she has a lot of energy. Thank you.
