Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Nala! Quiet Senior Soul Looking for a Patient Heart   Nala was abandoned by the only family she had ever known after 10 years, she struggled to adjust to a new baby in the home. When we first met Nala, it was heartbreaking. She was confused, scared, and shutting down, not understanding why the people she trusted had left her behind.   Since coming into our care, Nala has been given the time and patience she needed to decompress. While she has made progress, learning to trust again has been a slow journey for her. The world feels a little safer now, but she still needs someone special who understands that trust takes time.   Nala is looking for a quiet, calm home with a patient adopter who is willing to move at her pace, earn her trust, and give her the safe and loving environment she deserves. With kindness, consistency, and love, Nala has the potential to blossom into a deeply loyal companion.   If you have the heart and patience for a dog who just needs someone to believe in her again, Nala may be waiting for you. &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 8, 2026, 9:34 am

Story
Lola is a 15-year-old, 10½ lb small companion dog (likely Maltese/Shih Tzu mix) with a sweet, affectionate nature and calm presence. After a lifetime with one loving owner, she’s seeking a quiet home where she can be a close companion again. She is in good health for her age, mobile, and engaged. Lola enjoys short walks, exploring at her own pace, and staying near her people—whether following you around or resting beside you. She is house trained, sleeps through the night, and uses her crate as a comfortable space. She walks well on a leash and settles when left alone for short periods, sometimes barking briefly before calming. Lola is gentle and people-oriented. She may be shy at first but bonds closely and enjoys being held. She can manage stairs slowly and may appreciate help onto furniture. She has some age-related hearing and vision loss but adapts well. With limited pet exposure, she would do best in a calm, consistent home.

Story
Meet Mattie – Your Quiet Little Shadow! Mattie is an 18-month-old Maltipoo with a tender heart and a gentle soul. This sweet girl is looking for a calm, understanding home where she can continue to grow in confidence at her own pace.Mattie is very timid and can be frightened by sudden movements or loud noises. Because of this, she would do best in a peaceful home with older, respectful children who understand the importance of moving slowly and giving her space when she needs it.She would absolutely thrive with a patient, confident mentor dog. Mattie takes comfort in other dogs and would love a furry friend who doesn’t mind if she snuggles up close — or even lays right on top of them! Having that steady canine presence helps her feel safe and secure.Mattie is doing well with her house training. She consistently goes outside and has only had accidents on her pee pads. With continued routine and gentle encouragement, she will keep making progress. She is not destructive at all and does not tear things up — she’s a very respectful little lady in the home.She ignores cats and coexists peacefully with them. On walks, she’s still learning how to feel confident on a leash, so a securely fenced yard is a must for her safety and comfort.Mattie will happily follow you from room to room and prefers to stay close by your side. She isn’t overly cuddly or demanding of lap time — she simply wants to be near her person, finding comfort in your presence without constantly needing to be held.If you have a quiet home, a fenced yard, and a kind-hearted dog willing to show her the way, Mattie could be the perfect addition to your family. With patience, love, and reassurance, she will blossom into the most loyal little companion. bcaaofnj.org Interested in adopting this pet?Click here for BCAA's on-line Application!

Story
✅ Currently in South Korea 💜 Available to fly to JFK & EWR The prices listed are based on USD, and the adoption fee will be calculated in CAD according to the exchange rate. Meet Chohee 💛 🌟 1.) Health Condition * Spayed. * Microchipped, negative for heartworm, and recovered from anaplasma. 2.) Rescue Story * Chohee had been rescued by an individual and moved to the vet’s, but the individual ceased contact and Chohee was about to be returned to the shelter. She would have struggled to adapt once more to the shelter, so Adogs urgently rescued her. 3.) Basic Information * With People: Isn’t shy or fearful of strangers. Expresses herself well with familiar people and is very friendly! When she wants something, she paws at you, such as when she wants more pets. * With Dogs: Prefers alone time rather than play with other dogs, but coexists with them peacefully. Is currently living with #AdogsJinro who keeps bothering her, so she’s a little tired. . * With Cats: Hasn’t met cats yet. * Separation Anxiety: Is living in a communal environment at the Adogs Center, so it’s unknown if she has separation anxiety. May need basic training in a home environment. * Potty Training: Is pottying outdoors at the Center. May need basic training if her environment changes. * Walks: It hasn’t been long since she entered the Center, so her walking manners still need to be assessed. * Car Sickness: Unknown, as she hasn’t been on long-distance car rides yet. * Biting: When Jinro keeps nibbling on her and being annoying, Chohee sometimes nips back and gets angry. * Barking: Has a quiet personality and doesn’t bark for no reason. * Likes: Really likes being petted and doted upon!
