Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.NJ Meet Pop! Your Sweet, Snorty Little Companion Pop is settling into his New Jersey foster home beautifully, and this lovable Pug is proving to be a wonderful houseguest! Around 4 years old, Pop has a big heart, a charming personality, and plenty of love to share. Pop is doing great with his foster family’s two dogs and is wonderful with children, including their friends who visit. He loves attention, enjoys carrying stuffed animals around, and is very food motivated! He’s also comfortable in his crate, making him an easy addition to the daily routine. Pop had a rough start and previously dealt with an eye ulcer, leaving his left eye slightly hazy, but that doesn’t stop him from being his sweet, happy self. Like all Pugs, he’ll need care in warm weather to help prevent overheating. Pop is looking for a loving home where he can be part of the family, enjoy plenty of affection, and have all the cozy comforts he deserves. Could this sweet boy be your new best friend? Pop is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines. His adoption donation is $500. - Adopting a dog 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 dogs have been through they deserve a loving, committed home. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 11, 2026, 10:05 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.NJ Jax is looking for his forever home  Meet Jax!  This precious 10-year-old pug weighs just 17.5 pounds and has the cutest little underbite!  Jax may be a little timid at first, but once he warms up, he’s an absolute sweetheart who just wants to be your lap dog.  He’s mellow, crate-trained, quiet, and gets along with dogs and cats. We believe he’s house-trained, too! He was around kids in his previous home and would likely do best with older, gentle children. Jax is a healthy senior boy with so much love left to give. All he needs is someone to give him a cozy home and a soft place to snuggle.  Jax is up to date on vaccines and tested negative for heartworm.  He has been neutered and has a microchip. His adoption fee is $300.  Adopting a dog 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 dogs have been through, they deserve a loving, committed home.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Bramble is a sweet boy who is looking for a new home. He is with our rescue partner in Louisiana and can come to NJ with an approved foster or adopter. Bramble may only have one eye but he has never let them slow him down. Bramble was picked up as a stray with his buddy Gibson back in August. He arrived at the shelter feeling a little unsure of everything, but with time, patience, and a little love, he has truly settled in and found his way. Now, Bramble is friendly, gentle, and ready to leave shelter life behind for a home of his own. He gets along well with other dogs who respect his personal space. Like many of us, he is not a fan of overly enthusiastic dogs bouncing directly in his face—he may give a quick lip raise to say, “Please give me a minute,” but that is all. He has never escalated beyond that, and it happened only with a very hyper pup.  Because of this he would probably be best as an only dog or with a laid back pup who understand not every dog wants to be jumped on. Bramble has no food or toy aggression and is simply looking for someone who will see the wonderful little guy he is: a loving, deserving dog who just needed a chance to feel safe. If you have room for a friendly pug who is ready for a fresh start, Bramble is waiting for you.  Bramble is neutered, micro-chipped and is up to date on vaccines. He  tested negative  for heartworm.  His  adoption donation is $500. 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 animal have been through they deserve a loving, committed home.

Story
Born on 12/21/25, Viana and her siblings came to us as an unwanted litter. With parents who were both small, we expect her to stay on the smaller side too…perfect for snuggles! She can be shy at first meetings, and a little skittish around small children so we recommend a home with older children or adults. She is really lovable and affectionate once she gets to know you. Viana can be dog selective so we feel she would be living her best life as an only dog.   She's doing great with house training. Viana is up to date on core vaccines, microchipped, and spayed.  If you're looking for a sweet, loving companion, she might be the perfect fit for you.  Interested in adopting me?  To fill out an application visit 3 Hearts 4 Paws.  Please note: we generally do not adopt out of state (NJ).  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 11, 2026, 7:28 am
