Dogo Argentino puppies and dogs in Trenton, New Jersey

URGENT! Poor Snow - at just around 3 y/o, this timid female Dogo Argentino has not had an easy life. She’s already been through two owners; with the most recent one, she was being kept in an outdoor pen with minimal socialization, and her owner sent her to the local over-crowded kill Shelter because the neighbor was trying to poison her (this was all in the south, of course). We can also see from her teats that she’s been subjected to having multiple litters of puppies. Now in a temp foster home in the Philadelphia area, she desperately needs a long-term foster or adopter - a patient and compassionate family that understands it will take some time for her to trust and understand what life is supposed to be like inside a home. For this reason, we think she would do best with a mentor fur-sibling who is confident and well adjusted to help bring her out of her shell. Please note - she appears to be smaller in size than the average Dogo at just about 60 lbs. or so. ***** PLEASE if you can help this girl, please TEXT/CALL Aly at 732-604-0625 ASAP as she is running out of time in the temp foster home! ***** Thank you for caring about a Pet in urgent need!

DOGO ALERT! Look at this big, beautiful girl! Ghost Pepper is at the shelter due to no fault of her own. Unfortunate circumstances have landed her here looking for a forever family. We would prefer someone who knows the breed and has enough room for this girl to get out and about. She is very strong, doesn`t know her own size and likes to try to climb into your lap. She is listed as older kids as she does tend to jump up on you, so you have to watch out for the zoomies!!!!Ghost Pepper is crate trained and housebroken, she knows basic commands and pulls a bit on leash until she settles in for her walk. She has lived with male and female Athena dogs but is reportedly dominant. Athena is also looking for a new home. She lived with a cat as well but was kept separated from him so unknown on cats really. Did I mention she`s absolutely beautiful? but you can really see that for yourself!!

** $495 in pledges for the rescue that pulls ** ** EXTENDED! ** Boulder ACCT-A-218297 is currently considered urgent and at risk of euthanasia due to length of stay and lack of space for incoming dogs. Boulder must have confirmed placement with an ADOPTER or RESCUE PARTNER by SUNDAY, MAY 18TH at 10AM. Should Boulder’s medical or behavioral status change, his urgency and timeline for placement may also change. Due to being significantly overcapacity with animals and higher than usual intake, extensions are unlikely to be granted. If you are interested in an animal please contact ACCT Philly immediately. Due to limited space, timestamps may also be proceeded with early so it is imperative to let us know if you are considering adopting or tagging an animal. Meet Boulder, a dog who truly lives up to his name! This strong-willed jumbo-sized pup is looking for just the right adopter to get him out of the shelter for good. Boulder arrived at ACCT Philly on April 22nd after being found running loose. He may tip the scales at 81 pounds, but Boulder is truly a puppy - estimated to be just two years old. Throughout his shelter stay, Boulder has won over numerous staff and volunteers with his easygoing, laidback nature and moderate energy level that has made walking him a breeze. This big boy would love to find a caring adult-only home of experienced dog owners who can lend him a helping paw with his training and teach him to be the very best boy he can be. Boulder has a tendency to try to mount other dogs as well as humans, which can be a bit challenging to redirect at times due to his large size. For this reason Boulder requires a home without young children for the time being, while he works on improving his manners. Boulder is friendly and exuberant when it comes to interacting with his fellow canines; however, he is a bit socially awkward and doesn’t always understand when other pups need space or aren’t interested in playing with him. Boulder does well with tolerant, large dogs who can match his play style and aren’t too bothered by Boulder’s headstrong personality. Boulder would be happy to meet other dogs at the shelter prior to adoption, to ensure they get along and can handle all 81 pounds of him! Sadly, Boulder has not yet found his perfect match. Due to lack of space in the shelter, Boulder must find placement with adopter or rescue partner no later than May 17th at 10am. Please read through Boulder’s notes below to see if he could be the one for you!

His walk sheet notes that he usually has a low to medium energy level, and has minimal issues leaving his kennel or returning to it. He pulls a bit on his leash, but has no issues with shyness, mouthing, or jumping on people. He was noted to sometimes attempt to mount his handler or other dogs. Staff noted on 4/29: “Took on a walk, had thoughts of mounting coming out of the kennel - faced me, sniffed crotch, but a leash tug away and he kept walking. Once outside after 3 minutes we stopped walking and I pet him and engaged with him, and you could see that he thought about mounting again, but another light leash, and he stopped his train of thought and did not escalate to humping. He allowed me to handle him, check his teeth, and he took treats slightly intensely and consistently. I bent down on the ground, and he came over to me and solicited some petting and made no attempt to help. While walking about two minutes later, he circled back behind the handler and attempted to mount, but the handler moved away, and he did not continue to try. He was easy to return to kennel.” During playgroup on 4/26, staff noted: “Boulder was not steerable AT ALL. He went into the yard very stiff and forward but warmed up with some push and pull play. he loved running around with the other dogs and was tolerant of another male dog mounting him. He did not take any corrections from dogs or the people and we used all kinds of correction tools so we had to remove him from the yard.” Staff noted on 4/26: “Boulder kept mounting people and dogs in the playgroup. He knocked down a staff member trying to get him off her (from mounting, size and strength). I got him off and wrapped him around the gate but he started moving it trying to get near me.” Staff noted on 4/24: “TTA, no aggression shown in any way, but persistently mounted everyone in the room relentlessly. do to large size and difficulty to handle. [Giving time to adjust] to try again when he's calmed down.” Boulder’s 4/22 intake notes stated: “Officer was called to location by person that found dog loose and was able to leash dog. Dog allowed handling and remained loose body but curious of surroundings.” MEDICAL INFORMATION Boulder was noted to have developed an upper respiratory infection on 4/27, and was started on a course of medication. On 5/8 it was observed that his URI symptoms were worsening despite medication; he was assessed by a veterinarian and found to have a complicated URI with concern for infectious bronchopneumonia. Boulder was given an additional medication to help him recover, and was monitored closely for further issues. Boulder is set to finish his medications on 5/17.

Tucker is a young, male Boxer mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart for the people he trusts. He’s social and eager on approach, easy to leash, and loves getting out of his kennel to explore. Tucker enjoys body handling and affection, though he can be easily distracted—there’s just so much going on in the world that catches his attention!Tucker is playful and energetic, especially when toys are involved. He has no issues with food or toy guarding and is happy to share space with people while eating. Squeaky toys are his favorite, and he enjoys interactive play with his handler.When it comes to new situations or unfamiliar people, Tucker can be unsure. He may bark or appear tense at first, especially if something looks or feels unusual, but with patience, calm handling, and positive reinforcement (treats help!), he is able to settle and build trust. Once he feels safe, his curiosity shines through.Tucker will need an experienced, adult-only home committed to continuing his behavior modification work. He is highly reactive to other dogs and must be the only pet in the home—no dogs and no cats. He would do best with adopters who understand fear-based reactivity and are willing to work with a professional trainer to help him feel more confident and secure.**Tucker’s Ideal Home:*** Adults only (no children)* No other dogs or cats* Experienced, patient adopters* Commitment to training and behavior support* A calm, structured environmentWith the right guidance and consistency, Tucker has the potential to be a deeply loyal companion who bonds strongly with his people.
