Story

Meet Marley ❤️ Marley is a sweet, affectionate, energetic boy looking for the right home. He loves being around people, enjoys walks and playtime, and has a puppy-like personality. He loves playing with other dogs. We adopted Marley two months ago and cannot keep him as our resident dog is unable to accept him. We’re unsure of his exact age, somewhere between 3-5 years and he weighs 12lbs. He loves all females but appears afraid of men, so giving him lots of affection and treats eventually wins him over. Marley would do best in a home that can give him time, attention, and structure. He is smart and learns quickly, as he’s very treat motivated. Although he is house trained, he has shown marking behavior around our dog during this transition. He needs an owner who is patient and willing to train. If you are interested in adopting Marley please send us an application or contact us at xxxx@xxxx.x

Sky is a miniature Aussie Shepherd, 5 years and 4 months old, weighing 52 lbs. She has never bitten anyone in her life. She is friendly around other dogs.

She has an incredibly gentle temperament and has never bitten anyone in her entire life. She thrives on activity, snuggles, and loves to engage, but remains patient and calm when in the home.

Story

Meet Yuki🤍 Yuki is a 3 year old Great Dane mix, she weighs 75lbs. Got her from a shelter in St.Petersburg Florida. She is a very sweet, kind, gentle and shy girl. She loves her plush toys and the couch! She is very good around kids and other dogs, she is very anxious and timid with grown adults but after a few days warms up! She has a lot of GI issues that we have been working on the last two years. Yuki also has severe anxiety with going outside. The anxiety then triggers her GI issues.She would be great in a home with someone able to care for her the way she needs.

Ozzy

Poodle (Standard)

Male, Adult

Skillman, NJ

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Ozzy: part poodle-looking thing, part race horse, part personal space violator.Ozzy is...a lot. And he's hilarious. He trots around like he's about to enter the Kentucky Derby, except the only prize he's interested in winning is your undivided attention. Once he spots a person, he's coming in hot for a hug whether you want him to or not. In short: he just wants to be enthusiastically loved on, he just doesn't always ask for it in the most tactful way.Subtlety is not Ozzy's strong suit. He doesn't ask for attention, he launches himself into it. Personal boundaries? No way. But underneath the chaos and unabashed zest for life is a dog that just wants to go home with patient people that are going to love him and give him the run around play time and enrichment that he needs to be his best self (and preferably while he's being told he's the best boy in the world [which is fact, and not opinion if you ask him.])Ozzy would thrive with someone who appreciates a high-energy, slightly ridiculous shadow who will follow them around, demand scratches and snuggles, and keep life entertaining at all times. If you've been searching for a dog who greets every day like it's the most exciting even in history, Ozzy is ready to gallop straight into your heart.If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website www.savehomelessanimals.org. SAVE is operating by appointment-only for approved adopters. For more information please call SAVE at 609-309-5214. Primary Color: Black Weight: 50.125 Age: 3yrs 9mths 3wks

Pinky

Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Adult

Skillman, NJ

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Pinky: a soft-hearted mama ready for her "me time" era.This beautiful fawn-colored girlie has already done the work of raising puppies, and now that her nest is empty, she's ready to focus on the simple joys of life: cozy cuddles, enthusiastic neck and butt scratches (the REAL good ones that make her whole body wiggle) and long, leisurely walks where she can follow her nose and take in the world one sniff at a time.Pinky might be a little shy when you first meet her - she's the kind of girl who likes a gentle introduction - but don't worry, a few well-placed Pupperoni treats go a VERY long way in winning her over. Once she trusts you, her sweetness shines through in the best way. She's affectionate, loyal, and has that quiet, loving presence that makes a house feel like home.She's open to meeting other dogs, though she can be a bit selective about who she considers friends. She's a lady with standards. With the right match and a respectful introduction, she could absolutely share her heart and her couch with another pup.If you're looking for a loving companion who's past the chaos of both puppyhood and motherhood and ready to settle into a life full of warmth, walks, and well-earned relaxation, Pinky is ready to be your girl.If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website www.savehomelessanimals.org. SAVE is operating by appointment-only for approved adopters. For more information please call SAVE at 609-309-5214. Primary Color: Fawn Secondary Color: White Weight: 59 Age: 2yrs 2mths 3wks

Lorelei

Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Adult

Skillman, NJ

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Lorelei: our reminder that life is best experienced in the slow lane.This lovely pitbull girl is gentle, soft-hearted, and happiest when she's enjoying the simple things: a long stroll, a good sniff-a-bout, a comfy place to relax, and someone patient enough to let her come out of her shell at her own pace. Walks are absolutely Lorelei's happy place. She could spend hours quietly exploring the world one smell at a time, taking everything in with calm curiosity and those sweet thoughtful eyes.Toys, however? Lorelei doesn't really seem convinced. While other dogs are busy launching ropes and lammies into orbit, she's more likely to be wandering the yard peacefully, investigating every corner like a tiny nature documentarian. Running around like a maniac just isn't really her style.Lorelei can be a little shy at first and takes a moment to feel comfortable with new people and touch. But once she starts to trust you, she melts into gentle affection - especially if butt scratches are involved. There's something incredibly rewarding about earning the love of a dog like Lorelei, because you can tell how much it means to her to feel safe.We may not know much about her past, but it's easy to see what kind of future she deserves: soft couches, peaceful walks, kind humans, and a home where she never has to wonder where she belongs again. Lorelei isn't looking for chaos or nonstop adventure. She's looking for comfort, patience, and someone to quietly love for the rest of her life.If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website www.savehomelessanimals.org. SAVE is operating by appointment-only for approved adopters. For more information please call SAVE at 609-309-5214. Primary Color: Grey Secondary Color: White Weight: 47.125 Age: 5yrs 7mths 0wks
