Story

My sweet Daisy, the most loving, cuddly dog i've ever had. I one day found her on craigslist, and have been her home since she was 7 weeks old. She is now 3 and has become my son's best friend. Unfortunately, due to our living changes we are no longer able to keep her, We haven't been able to keep up with vet visits, walks, and the attention that we used to give her. We went from having a backyard for her to less than 900sqft apt, and very little time to let her play outside like she was used to. Daisy needs a home that has time and patience for her love (she can be clingy to the people she loves) , a backyard where she can run and let her energy out all day. And most importantly someone who can love her back the way she loves. Daisy loves to be around and play with kids, she is very gentle with littles but can also rough play when given the okay. We don't have a rehoming fee because we truly just want to find someone who will take care of her like a baby.

Story

Roscoe’s heart is waiting for his forever person. Some dogs walk into your life, and you just know they have a special soul. That’s our sweet Roscoe. Roscoe is a handsome 4½-year-old German Shepherd who has experienced a heartbreaking change in his world. A few months ago, he lost his beloved owner and the canine family he had always known. While he has handled this transition with such grace, it’s clear that Roscoe is longing for something every dog deserves… a place to belong and a person to call his own. Roscoe is sweet, sensitive, and wonderfully goofy. He has a playful side that will make you smile, and he absolutely lives for his walks and those happy zoomies around the yard. But more than anything, Roscoe wants connection. He wants to be near his person, to feel safe, loved, and part of a family again. This loyal boy previously lived with two female dogs and has shown us what a loving companion he can be. Roscoe would do best with a family who understands the German Shepherd breed and appreciates their intelligence, loyalty, and deep bond with their people. A home with older children would be the best fit. Roscoe is fully vetted, house-broken, and ready for the fresh start he deserves. He doesn’t need a perfect home — he just needs a patient, loving one where he can rebuild his confidence and know he is finally home. If you’ve ever loved a German Shepherd, you know the incredible devotion they give in return. Roscoe is waiting to give someone his whole heart. Could you be the person he’s been waiting for? Please apply to adopt Roscoe at bfdaaa.com in Cranford, N. J., through Best Friend Dog and Animal Adoption, Inc. July 21, 2026, 10:11 pm

Story

Temporary Foster Needed – Help Heidi get spayed and recover before she heads to her forever home. Foster-to-Adopt – Bring Heidi home now and foster her until she's spayed, then make her a permanent member of your family! If Heidi looks familiar, you're right! She is the sister of Zara and Jade. Like her sisters, Heidi is just over a year old and just as friendly. Also like her sisters, Heidi is very trusting of other dogs and doesn't know the difference between a friendly dog and a reactive one. She'll need a family that will help keep her safe while continuing her socialization. Heidi will benefit from leash training, basic obedience, and continued socialization with both people and other dogs. She would do well with a family, including children, who will take her on adventures and show her all the wonderful things the world has to offer. If you're interested, please visit gsgsr.org and complete an adoption application. Already have an application on file? Just email us with your application number or the name listed on your application, and we'll be happy to help. Heidi is ready for her next chapter—could it be with you?

Story

🐾 Kiki is a little over a year old and is ready to begin the next chapter of her life! She is currently looking for a temporary foster while she is spayed and recovers. After her recovery, she will be available for adoption, or you can choose to foster-to-adopt. Kiki is an incredibly sweet, trusting girl who knows no fear. She has spent her life living with other dogs in a pack and has only known the yard she shared with them. Because of this, she will need some basic training, including learning to walk on a leash and responding to basic commands. She is dog-friendly and was raised around children, making her a loving and affectionate companion. Since she has not been exposed to unfriendly dogs, slow and positive introductions to new canine friends are important. Kiki is looking for a home with a responsible owner and a neutered male dog to help her continue building confidence and adjusting to family life. If you're interested in fostering or adopting Kiki, please complete an application on the GSGSR website. If you have already submitted an application, please email us with your application number or the name listed on your application so we can assist you. Could Kiki be the perfect addition to your family? Apply to adopt at www.gsgsr.org

Story

Meet Kiki: Your Perfect Walking BuddyAt 9 years young, Kiki is living proof that age is just a number. This beautiful German Shepherd came to SAVE as an owner surrender, and while we're sad she found herself looking for a new home, we're excited to help her find the family she deserves.Kiki is the definition of low-maintenance. She's not looking for constant entertainment or an endless supply of toys-in fact, she'd much rather spend her time enjoying the simple things in life. A leisurely walk where she can stop to sniff every interesting scent? That's her idea of a perfect day. After that, she's more than happy to relax by your side and enjoy a peaceful afternoon.When meeting new people, Kiki can be a little reserved at first. Like many Shepherds, she likes to take a moment to sniff, observe, and decide that you're a friend. Once she's had the chance to size you up, you'll discover the gentle, sweet companion underneath.Kiki would be a wonderful match for someone looking for an easygoing best friend rather than a high-energy adventure partner. She's past the puppy antics, appreciates a predictable routine, and has mastered the art of simply enjoying life one walk at a time.If your idea of the perfect companion is a loyal friend who asks for little more than a good stroll, a comfortable place to nap, and someone to share her days with, Kiki just might be the one you've been waiting for.If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website www.savehomelessanimals.org. SAVE is operating by appointment-only for approved adopters. For more information please call SAVE at 609-309-5214. Primary Color: Brown Weight: 75 Age: 9yrs 11mths 1wks
