Story

Meet Dulce: the sweetest little people-watcher you'll ever meet.Dulce came to SAVE after her owner experienced a medical hardship and could no longer care for her. While that change was undoubtedly difficult, Dulce hasn't let it dampen her gentle spirit. She greets everyone she meets with a happy little scamper, convinced that every new person is simply another friend she hasn't met yet.One of Dulce's favorite pastimes is climbing up into the window to keep watch over the outside world. Not looking out the window - perching in it. She'll happily spend her afternoons soaking up the sunshine, quietly observing squirrels, passing cars, birds, and anyone lucky enough to wander by. Honestly...we're beginning to suspect she's part cat.When she's not working her neighborhood watch shift, Dulce is happiest out on a leisurely walk with her nose glued to the ground. Every leaf, blade of grass, and mysterious scent deserves a thorough investigation, and she's more than happy to take her time exploring the world one sniff at a time.Dulce is simply a lovely dog. She's affectionate without being demanding, curious without being chaotic, and has a calm, easygoing nature that makes her a joy to be around. If you're looking for a faithful walking buddy, a professional sunbather, and a sweet companion who will happily brighten every day with her gentle presence, Dulce is ready to find her forever home.If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website www.savehomelessanimals.org.

Perdita

Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Young

Skillman, NJ

Size

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

Details

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Perdita: She has never met a stranger-mostly because she considers everyone a friend.Perdita is one of those dogs who seems to operate under the assumption that every person she encounters is here specifically to meet her. And honestly? She may have a point. This girl is an absolute social butterfly and is always happy to say hello, make a new friend, and collect a little extra attention along the way.Perdita is what I like to call a "people's pit." She's affectionate, outgoing, playful, and has that wonderfully goofy enthusiasm that makes it very difficult not to smile when she's around. She loves being with her humans, enjoys a good play session, and is always ready to see what kind of fun might be happening next.She's also a big fan of getting out and about. Perdita enjoys a good stroll where she can take in the sights, sounds, and-most importantly-the smells. Her nose has opinions, and she intends to hear all of them. Walks with Perdita are less about setting a personal speed record and more about enjoying the journey, exploring the world, and stopping periodically to investigate something that is clearly Very Important.When she's not busy making friends with the humans, Perdita is happy to spend time with canine companions, too. She's dog friendly and could potentially do wonderfully in a home with another dog, provided they're a good match for her personality.If you're looking for a fun, affectionate, people-loving dog with plenty of personality and absolutely no interest in being a wallflower, Perdita may be your girl. She's ready to bring some joy, some silliness, and quite possibly a little bit of chaos into your life-and she would very much like to get started.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 Secondary Color: White Weight: 47.1875 Age: 1yrs 1mths 1wks

***Adoption Fee WAIVED***Hi, I'm Oreo! I'm a sweet, scruffy little wire-haired bully mix with the softest heart and the cutest face (if I do say so myself!). I'm all about cuddles - playtime is fun, but nothing beats curling up with my favorite human for a good snuggle. I'm a gentle soul who just wants to be close to you, soaking up all the love you're willing to give.I've got a soft spot for treats - especially anything bacon-flavored (yum!) and I'm always happy to share my calm, loving energy with everyone around me. I get along great with humans of all sizes and I'm just the kind of pup who makes a house feel like home. If you're looking for a cuddly companion with a tender heart and the cutest little whiskers, I'm right here waiting for you.I am currently in a foster home and my foster family would be happy to tell you all about ME!

Story

Big guy, big heart, and so much love to give! Meet Lee, affectionately known as Bulli, a handsome brindle Mastiff/Pit Bull mix who is looking for a second chance at happily ever after. Through no fault of his own, his owner was no longer able to care for him, and now this sweet boy is searching for a family to call his own.Don't let his big, tough-guy looks fool you! Lee is a total sweetheart who loves being close to his favorite people. One of his favorite things to do is sit between your legs or lean his big body right into you for some extra love. He's a big snuggly guy who wants nothing more than to feel safe, loved, and part of a family.Lee is an active boy who loves to play, have fun, and enjoy life! He's also a fan of tasty treats, especially apples, peanut butter, and bananas. And here's some great news for his future family: Lee is both housebroken and crate trained!Lee gets along with kids, but when it comes to other dogs, he's a little more selective. He needs proper introductions and canine companions whose personalities and play styles are a good match for his. The right dog friends are out there; they just need to vibe with him! And despite his big, brave appearance, Lee has a softer side that comes out during thunderstorms. When the skies rumble, he gets scared and could use some extra reassurance from his people. Even big guys need comfort sometimes!Lee isn't asking for much. Just a home where he can be loved for who he is, a family to share adventures and couch time with, and people who will let him lean into them when he needs a little extra affection.Could you be the one Lee has been waiting for? If you're looking for a loyal, playful, affectionate big guy with an even bigger heart, Lee (Bulli) might just be your perfect match! Adopt Lee. Give this handsome boy the loving home he deserves.

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Beaker: Warning - WILL Have Spontaneous ZoomiesHave you ever wanted to live with a furry, four-legged Cat-5 hurricane who thinks personal space is a myth and that every single moment is an appropriate time for full-speed face kisses? Allow us to introduce Beaker, the quintessential Boxer!Beaker has places to go, toys to destroy (in spirit, we hope), enrichment to conquer, and approximately one million zoomies left to complete before bedtime. This boy wants to PLAY. He wants to RUN. He wants to EXPLORE. And if you happen to be standing nearby, congratulations! You have just been selected as his next kissing booth. No appointment necessary, but helmets are recommended.Let's be clear: Beaker is not looking for a couch potato lifestyle. He's looking for action, adventure, games, activities, and people who understand that a Boxer's idea of a relaxing afternoon might involve sprinting in circles before launching a full-body greeting into your personal space. He needs outlets for all that glorious energy, plenty of enrichment, and humans who can appreciate the delightful chaos that comes with the breed.Beaker needs Boxer people. You know who you are. You hear "boundless energy" and think "fun challenge." You see a dog preparing to launch himself into the stratosphere and think "yep, that's a Boxer." You understand that life with this breed is equal parts comedy, cardio, and unconditional love delivered at approximately 35 miles per hour.If your heart belongs to Boxers and your exercise routine could use a furry personal trainer, Beaker might just be your guy. Just remember: he will love you with his whole heart, his whole body, and absolutely zero regard for the laws of physics.If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website www.savehomelessanimals.org.
