Story
Hi Everyone! UPDATE! Honey and I will be at the WoofLove Adoption event this Saturday, 6/20 at Dunlop's in Sewell, NJ from 12-3pm! Come out and meet her! ❤️ Honey is still available for adoption! She is a 12 week old female mix breed-likely a mix of Carolina Dog, Husky, and another smaller breed. She is estimated to be about 35-40 lbs full grown. She is located in Collingswood, NJ. She is a very sweet and affectionate puppy who is adaptable and eager to learn routine. While in our home as a foster, she has grown in so many ways over the past month, and recently without her 3 siblings! Her puppy skills are: -independence and comfort throughout the night with her crate/pen set up. -going potty outside -walking on a leash (doing excellently!) -basic commands like sitting and giving "paw" She follows the lead of our senior dog and loves being in the presence of other dogs and animals. We have a parrot 🦜who she is calm around and even licked the other day!🤪 We have 2 children (ages 9 and 12) who she tolerates well and loves to interact with. Like many (including people!) she appreciates a calm approach and peace when she is eating! I don't think Dan Vernau and I have received more puppy kisses combined than we have received from Honey. She is a little bundle of love! Summers can be a tricky time to adopt with vacations and other activities. I encourage those who see this season as an adoption barrier to have open discussions with friends, family, and the puppy's foster family to explore creative solutions for temporary care so you don't miss out on a great opportunity to bring a young puppy into the family. If you would like to meet Honey, please contact Jacquie at Wooflovejacquie@gmail.com and complete an application. Thanks so much! Adoption donation of $400 includes age appropriate vaccinations and spay/neuter when pup is approximately 5-7 months of age. Copays vary by location. $110 reimbursement if adopters own vet/clinic is used for alter and microchip within same timeframe. Woof Love Rescue is a registered 501c3 non-profit organization and donations are tax deductible. *** Breed determination in most cases is often based on the limited history typically available for most rescued animals. We try to be as accurate as possible with the information we have and the Rescue assessment of the pup. Current adoption radius is within 3 hours of our foster homes, most within the SJ area - within NJ/PA/DE

Story
Meet Kiki – Loyal senior German Shepherd Looking for a Loving Home It breaks my heart to do this, but due to a housing situation where I cannot keep pets, I need to find a wonderful new home for my beloved German Shepherd. About Her * 🐾 10-year-old female German Shepherd * ❤️ Spayed * 🩺 Healthy and up to date on veterinary care (adjust if needed) * 👧 Great with children * 🏡 House-trained * 🦴 Calm, loyal, and affectionate with her family * 🐕 May be skittish around unfamiliar dogs, so she’d likely do best as the only dog or with slow, careful introductions. She still enjoys walks, spending time with her people, and relaxing by your side. Like many German Shepherds, she forms strong bonds with the people she loves and would thrive in a home where she’s treated as part of the family. I’m not asking for a home because of anything she’s done wrong. This decision is entirely due to my upcoming move to housing that does not allow pets.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.NJCameron will be arriving in NJ on 6/27/26. Meet Cameron  Cameron is a 3-month-old German Shepherd mix and the smaller of the two brothers, currently weighing about 10 pounds. This adorable tricolor pup may be little, but he has a big heart just waiting to shine. Cameron is a bit on the shy side and will need a patient, loving home to help him build confidence and feel safe. Once he warms up, you can see just how sweet and gentle he truly is. He’s expected to grow into a medium-sized dog (around 35–40 lbs), making him a wonderful companion for someone willing to give him the time he needs to blossom. If you believe the best things in life are worth a little patience, Cameron could be your perfect match  Cameron will be fixed, microchipped and up to date on vaccines. His  adoption donation is $600.    Adopting an animal is a commitment that will require annual veterinary care at a minimum, training, exercise, enrichment, etc. Pet care is not cheap or easy and adopters should consider the costs, time and training prior to adoption. After all these animals have been through they deserve a loving, committed home. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 29, 2026, 12:48 am

Story
Lola is a beautiful 2-year-old German Shepherd mix with a heart as big as her playful spirit. This sweet girl has quite the story—she spent over a month as a stray in her neighborhood, where she quickly won over everyone, especially the local kids. She would happily walk them to and from the bus stop, soaking up all the love, playtime, and snacks they had to offer. It’s clear from the start: Lola adores people, especially children. Lola is the perfect mix of fun and well-mannered. She loves toys (especially balls!) and will happily play fetch and retrieve to her heart’s content. She also enjoys playing with other dogs and would do great in a home with a canine companion. She’s both house-trained and kennel-trained, and can relax comfortably in a crate for extended periods without issue. Lola travels well in the car (especially in her crate) and is always up for an adventure—she truly loves going for rides. Lola is smart and eager to please, showing all the classic German Shepherd traits. She knows her name, responds well to training, and even does well off-leash in appropriate settings like trails. She’s not destructive and doesn’t chew on household items—she’d much rather enjoy a Milk-Bone or a good game of fetch. While Lola is generally well-behaved in the home, she can be a bit vocal when excited, especially when greeting people or when someone comes to the door. This is typical of her breed and manageable with continued guidance and training. Once she settles, she’s affectionate, attentive, and loves being close to her people. She has shown that she can coexist with cats and is overall a very adaptable, social dog. Lola has even waded into a pond before—so she might enjoy some water fun—but baths are definitely not her favorite activity! Lola is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and on prevention, ready to find her forever home. Ideal Home:
Lola would thrive in an active home where she can get plenty of playtime, exercise, and attention. A family with kids, another playful dog, or someone who enjoys outdoor adventures would be a great match for her. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, and playful companion who will stick by your side and keep you smiling, Lola just might be your girl. If this sounds like the pup for you, please complete an application at https://www.saveastray.org/forms/form?formid=3635 Once the application is approved, a FaceTime will be set up for a virtual meet and greet. Since we are located in Mobile, AL, this will give you the opportunity to see the pet interact with other dogs, people, and see a bit of their personality. Transports leave every week alternating between the NE and the Great Lakes. We use the most animal-friendly transport on the road. Rescue Riders Pet Transport. Thank you for your interest in a Save a Stray pet.

Story
Shayna Grace is a beautiful 8-month-old German Shepherd puppy with a sweet nature and a bright future ahead of her. While she can be a little shy when meeting new people, it doesn`t take long for her playful and loving personality to shine through. This happy, intelligent girl is eager to learn and would thrive with a family that can continue her training and help build her confidence.Shayna Grace would do well in a home with another friendly dog to show her the ropes and help her feel secure. A securely fenced yard where she can safely play and explore would be ideal. Because she is still gaining confidence, she would do best with older children who understand and respect a dog`s space and boundaries. With patience, love, and guidance, Shayna Grace is sure to become a loyal and devoted companion.
