Story
Becca came to the shelter as a stray, so everything we know about her, we've learned since she arrived. We estimate she's about 3 years old, gave her a name, and watched her slowly begin to trust the people caring for her. Once Becca settles in, her sweet personality shines through. She forms strong bonds with the staff and volunteers who spend time with her, and it's clear she just wants love and companionship. When Becca was spayed, our veterinary team discovered and removed a large ovarian tumor. The findings strongly suggest cancer, and unfortunately, there is little we can do for her while she's in the shelter. Right now, our priority isn't treatment—it's giving Becca the chance to spend whatever time she has left in a home where she can be loved. Becca would do best as the only pet, as she has not done well with other dogs in the shelter environment. She urgently needs a rescue or adopter willing to open their heart to a dog who deserves so much more than a kennel. We don't know how much time Becca has, but we do know she deserves to spend it surrounded by kindness, comfort, and love.

Story
GET ZEUS OUT OF THE SHELTER 🚨 Zeus is almost 7 years old and has spent his entire life with 1 family. We know because he was adopted from us. We know the loving home he was in. We know the attention he was given. We know the comfy life he had. Which makes us even more devastated to see him sitting in a kennel now. 💔 And we already know where these comment sections can go. We know people are going to want to criticize his previous owner, but none of us know the full story of someone else's situation. Yes, we see some of the worst cases. But sometimes surrender really is the only option someone has. We are not here to judge them, and this post isn't about them. This post is about ZEUS. 🦛 67 lbs & almost 7 years old 👶🏻 Lived with little kids 🐶 Has lived with other dogs and hangs out with other dogs 🦸‍♀️ Friendly with strangers 🛋 Loves to cuddle and snuggle under blankets 📢 Knows lots of commands 🍪 Shares his food and toys with no issue 🔔 Rings a bell by the door when he needs to go outside 🏃‍♀️ Has experience being off leash This is a dog who knows what home is. He knows what it's like to have a family, a routine, a couch, a yard, a bed, and people of his own. And we are absolutely crushed that he has to sleep in a shelter kennel at all. Please show up for Zeus. ❤️ Rescues. Adopters. Fosters. Anyone who sees this boy and thinks, I can give him a place to land. Please come meet him. Let's get Zeus OUT of the shelter ASAP. 🐾 Apply at ahscares.org/adopt

Story
Meet Ghost 👻 Estimated to be around 3 years old and weighing 55 pounds, Ghost came to us as a stray and is now hoping his next stop is a forever home. This handsome guy has shown himself to be affectionate, sweet, and eager to connect with people once he feels comfortable. He enjoys attention, walks nicely on a leash, and is a calm companion to spend time with. Ghost does have some sensitivity around his back end and prefers not to be touched there, so he’ll need a home that can respect his boundaries and help him continue building trust at his own pace. Despite that, he’s been a gentle and loving boy who clearly wants companionship and kindness. If you’re looking for a loyal dog with a sweet soul and a quiet charm, Ghost may be the perfect match for you. 🖤 2960 Shafto Rd, Tinton Falls, NJ ID #46039 Application link in bio!

Meet Calzone! 🍕❤️ Calzone is a 2-year-old, 60-pound bundle of fun who came to us as a stray and hasn't met a stranger yet! This happy, social guy loves people and is always ready to brighten your day with his goofy personality. He may look like he spends every day at the gym 💪, but don't let those muscles fool you! Calzone came into the shelter heartworm positive, and while he is undergoing treatment, he needs to take life nice and slow while his body heals. Calzone is looking for a family willing to foster him first with the intention of adopting once his treatment is complete. During his recovery, Calzone will need strict activity restriction. That means no walks, zoomies, roughhousing, or playtime—just short leash trips outside for bathroom breaks and plenty of relaxing indoors. Even though he may feel like he's ready to run the world, keeping him calm is the safest way to help him recover. Our team will provide guidance and support throughout his treatment. All Calzone needs is a comfy couch, a little patience, and someone willing to help him through this final step before starting his forever life. If you're ready to open your home to this lovable, muscle-bound goofball, Calzone is ready to meet you. 🐾 Apply here: ahscares.org/adopt

Story
Minnie misses having a couch. 🥺 After spending her whole life in a home, this 5-year-old girl suddenly found herself at the shelter. While we're doing our best to make her comfortable, it's just not the same. At 70 pounds, Minnie could benefit from a few regular walks, but let's be honest—her dream job is professional couch potato. 🛋️ She's not asking for much. A soft bed. A comfy couch. A family to love. Maybe a few snacks. Minnie has already proven she knows how to be a house dog. Now she just needs someone willing to give her a second chance at home. Come meet Minnie today in Tinton Falls, NJ ❤️🐾 ID #119067
