Story
Meet Ace! This handsome boy is looking for a fitting forever home to match his energetic, enthusiastic, and boisterous personality. Ace is originally from a family farm in South Jersey, born in May 2024 of a Chesapeake Bay Retriever mother and Border Collie father. As the family on the farm was not able to take on any more animals at the time of his puppyhood, he found his way to our current residence in NJ. Ace has some special medical notes- he has a bald spot on his back from running under an electric fence as a puppy, and has experienced 2 seizure-like episodes in the past. Because of this Ace needs a confident, loving, and VERY experienced handler that uses positive reinforcement. He would be best being pampered as an only child, as he has a tough time getting along with other dogs or cats. Although he can be slow to warm to new people at times, he is truly a sweet and fun spirited boy who would love nothing more than to be your best friend with time and patience. 🐾

Story
Cher | Lab-Cattle Dog mix 7+ years | Spayed | 65 lbs Cher is a lovable, friendly gal. She is extremely smart but also gentle and kind. She would make a great addition to any family. She was surrendered by her family in 2024, she was an indoor dog - she has good manners and a calm demeanor. She is up to date with her vaccines, HW- and spayed. Her fur is thick and longer - more like a retriever but she doesn't shed a great deal. Cher's energy level is low-medium; she loves to go for walks in the woods and play ball in the yard. She has been in playgroups in the past. She appears to have some leash training. Cher gets along with puppies; she would do well in a home with another female dog who is calm or would thrive as an only fur baby.

Adoption Fee includes all age-appropriate shots, deworming, spay/neuter certificate (if too young to be fixed) and microchip, dog food, leash and collar.

Story
Due to allergy in our 2-year-old child, we are heartbreakingly seeking a new home for our 8-year-old husky named Whiskey. This decision has been incredibly difficult, as he has been a beloved member of our family for over 7 years, and we are committed to finding him a safe, loving, and permanent home. He is: - Leash trained - Housebroken - Up to date on vaccinations - Microchipped - Very calm, well-mannered, and easygoing He has a gentle, relaxed personality and is happiest simply lying next to you or being near his person. He does not require constant activity and thrives in a peaceful environment. He would do best in a home where someone is around most of the time, or with another friendly pet for companionship, as he can become anxious if left alone for long periods otherwise he is affectionate, loyal, and an excellent companion! Our goal is to place him in a responsible, patient, and loving forever home where he can continue to
