Story

Hi, I'm Willa! I'm about 8 months old and weigh 56 pounds, but don't let my size fool you — I'm a gentle, friendly girl with a calm nature that seems wise beyond my puppy years. I was found wandering the streets as a stray, and I'm one of the lucky ones who landed somewhere safe. Sadly, not all bigger dogs get that same chance. My eyes say it all; I am an old soul. My coloring, stature, and adorable ears give away my likely family tree. We're pretty sure I'm a German Shepherd/Hound mix. I'm completely dog-friendly, housebroken, and comfortable in a gated-off area (or a crate, if that's what you prefer). I'm still growing! I may reach around 65 pounds when I'm fully grown. My home should be patient, kind, willing to let me adjust and understand that us dogs need some transition time too. I have not met really young kids so kids 10+ is a good start. I have only been friendly and kind. Here is a link to the application: https://www.zivadogrescue.org/adoptable-dogs

Scout

German Shepherd Dog

Female, Adult

Jackson, NJ

Size

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

Details

Story

Scout, German Shepherd, Black and Tan, Female spayed, 2 years old Scout is an absolute sweetheart! She is friendly, walks nicely on a leash, and is on the smaller size for a shepherd. She is just the perfect size to be your adventure buddy! Scout would do best in a home with children over the age of 10 years old, and would benefit from a family that has experience with her breed. She seems to get along well with other dogs, and didn’t seem to mind cats. **This dog is at the Ocean County Animal Facility North located at 615 Fremont Ave, Jackson NJ (off of Hope Chapel Rd). All dogs are spayed/neutered, micro-chipped, and have age appropriate shots.** To adopt our dogs you must come to the facility with your entire family, including dogs, to meet with our staff and the dog you are interested in. We are open to the public seven days a week between the hours of 1pm and 4pm. Please call our facility at 732-657-8086 for more information about any of our pets! October 14, 2026, 4:10 pm
