Story

Adoptable Roscoe 🐾 If you’re looking for a dog who is essentially a tiny, vibrating ball of pure happiness, look no further. This handsome guy was found as a stray, but he doesn’t seem to care one bit! The Stats: Age: Our best guess is around 1 year old. Breed: Your guess is as good as ours, but we’re seeing some Pug/Chihuahua vibes. Size: he’s around 15–20 lbs but on the lean side. Signature Look: A very charming, very prominent underbite. He might not be “traditional” pageant material, but he is a 10/10 in the personality department. The Personality: This boy is pure “joy.” He is super funny, always on the move, and looking for a more active household. If you’re a couch potato, he might be a bit much for you- he wants to be where the action is! He is a total social butterfly and hasn’t met a stranger yet. He loves other dogs big and small! In fact, he is currently obsessed with his 90 lb German Shepherd foster brother. He clearly has no idea how small he is. He had no idea what toys are and he doesn’t really seem to know how to engage in proper play with other dogs (he is a humper) but he is learning! All the dogs in his foster home are super playful, patient and tolerant of awkward doggies and are helping him learn- so any new resident dogs should also be the same. While he has not been exposed to kids or cats, we think he can adapt with boundaries in place! The Good Boy Report: Potty Training: Doing amazing! No accidents in the house so far. Crate Training: Currently a work in progress, but he’s putting in the effort. If you want a dog who will make you laugh every single day and fill your home with non-stop positive energy, this is your guy. Interested in adding some joy to your life?

Balto

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 1 yr 5 mos

Scotch Plains, NJ

Size

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

Details

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

🐾 Adopt Balto! He’s a 50lb, 1-2 year old mix who is the ultimate “happy boy” looking for his forever home! He has been in his foster home and has nothing but good reports! Balto is excellent in the house! He loves a good cuddle and absolutely LOVES belly rubs. Balto is neutered and UTD on vaccines. Balto is potty trained and knows to go outside. He is crate trained, but will put up a fuss for the first few minutes then settles down. After he settles down, he’s quiet in the crate overnight and during the day while his foster dad is at work. Balto has been out and about in public, he’s been to bark in the park and is super well behaved. He’s good with dogs big and small, great with people and has shown that he can handle public space well. Balto does have a lot of energy so a family who is ready to keep his body and mind busy is ideal. A fenced in yard is preferred since he loves to run around in the backyard. Balto is jumpy and mouthy so because of that he needs a family committed to training (and homes with kids 8+). He’s shown that he listens and plays well with other dogs so he can be adopted into a home with another well-matched sibling. If you’re looking for an ultimate buddy who wants to be by your side- Balto is the one you’re looking for!

Bluebelle

German Shepherd Dog

Female, 2 yrs 6 mos

Scotch Plains, NJ

Size

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

Details

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Miss Bluebelle 🩵 With those stunning blue eyes and classic shepherd looks, Bluebelle is impossible to miss—and even harder not to love! This sweet, curious girl is always ready to greet new friends and then follow her nose on her next little adventure. Sniffing, exploring, and soaking up the world around her? That’s her jam. We estimate Bluebelle to be around 2 or 3 years old. She’s done great meeting other dogs, especially thriving in playtime with a male dog... she’s got a fun, playful energy that really shines! Bluebelle is looking for an active home that’s ready to keep her mind and body busy, and a family committed to continuing her journey with professional training so she can be her absolute best self. We’re not sure how she does with cats or young kids, so we’re recommending a home without cats and with older, dog-savvy children. She’ll be spayed and up to date on vaccines before heading to her forever home.... now she just needs YOU! 🏡🩵

Thunder

Beagle

Male, 1 yr 1 mo

Green Brook Township, NJ

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Thunder was found as a stray during a thunderstorm (hence the name) and got a second chance when he was adopted from a local shelter. Unfortunately, his nose- and instincts- have gotten him into trouble. Thunder discovered that chickens are delicious and very exciting to chase, and his current home couldn't keep him because of it. He's friendly with people, does well with other dogs, and has been around kids from toddler age up through pre-teen. Cats, birds and poultry are an absolute no unless it's for lunch. Thunder is smart, playful, and loves a ball and chew toys. He’s been primarily an outdoor dog, so he may need some guidance with house manners- but he's working on it in his foster home and at just a year old, he's very capable of being a very good boy.
