Story
Meet Queso! Questo is a playful 3-month-old puppy weighing 8 pounds. Like all pups his age, he’s curious, friendly, and full of joy! He was rescued with his mom and siblings from an over crowded house. His mom is Brie and she weighs about 10 lbs. She tested negative for Chagas. He's safe now and ready for a forever home! .

Queso loves to explore, play with toys, and snuggle in your arms. In true terrier fashion, he’s clever and eager to learn. He’d thrive in a home where he gets plenty of playtime, attention, and love. This puppy is under 16 weeks of age as of 1/6/2025. He is too young for Heartworm or Chagas testing. Because this puppy is from the state of Texas…an area endemic for Chagas disease…we strongly recommend that they be tested once they reach at least 16 weeks of age. Please familiarize yourself with Chagas disease and the importance of early detection. If you’d like to make this sweet dog part of your family, please review our adoption process and complete an application here: https://www.tracyspawsrescue.org/adopt 

Learn more about our rescue here: https://www.facebook.com/TracysPawsRescue 

Every dog adopted through Tracy’s Paws receives: • Chagas, heartworm, and tick testing (when age-appropriate) • All core vaccines (age-appropriate) • Heartworm and flea/tick preventatives • Regular Deworming • Spay/neuter surgery • Microchip 

Breed listings are our best guess, based on appearance.

Story
Kendra is one of five puppies born to Josie.  She and her siblings have been in foster care since birth and are highly social. Kendra and her brother Kyle have a more wirey hair look to them that they get from Mom it appears, while the other 3 look more pug mix.  Mom is only about 10 pounds.  She's been around other dogs and got along great (no cat experience).  Kendra up to date on core vaccines (Rabies, DAPP, Bordatella).  Kendra has been spayed and is about 8 months old as of the end of December.  She's been at numerous events and did well with adults and children. Kendra is an active little girl, and loves having a fenced yard, so a fenced yard is a requirement for her.  She can be a digger and should never be left alone outside.   Interested in adopting me?  To fill out an application visit 3 Hearts 4 Paws.  Please note: we do not adopt out of state.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 2, 2026, 9:23 am

What type of home is best for pug-mix puppies?Pug-mix puppies do best in calm, lower-activity homes that understand the needs and have experience of brachycephalic (short-nosed) breeds.  Dogs:• Curious but delicate• No big dogs• Only ONE other dog allowed• Overactive homes = hard pass Kids:• NO KIDS• Possibly a teen 12+, discussion required Cats:• Not tested• Prefer a no-cat household  TRAINING STATUS• Housetrained: Not yet• Crate trained: Not yet• Leash trained: Not yet(They are babies.

These puppies thrive in homes that can offer:A relaxed daily routineShort, controlled exerciseIndoor play and enrichmentClose monitoring in warm weatherA home where the puppy can be a primary focus Households with a quieter pace and fewer competing demands, where time and attention can be dedicated to the puppy’s care and training, are typically the best fit. Our Puppy Adoption Policy & Senior Adopters We absolutely adopt to seniors and value them deeply in our rescue community.In fact, we encourage adopters age 70 and older to consider adult dogs (5+ years) — they often form the most beautiful, well-matched partnerships and truly thrive together. Why not puppies? Puppies require many years of intensive care, including:Daily training and socializationSignificant physical activityOngoing veterinary careLong-term contingency planning for the next 15+ years Because of these lifetime needs, we place puppies only in homes where long-term stability and planning can be confidently met. For this reason, we do not place puppies with adopters over the age of 70.This policy exists solely to protect the lifelong welfare and stability of the dog — never to diminish the value or capability of senior adopters. Disclaimer:Adoption decisions are made on a case-by-case basis and reflect the rescue’s mission to act in the best interest of each animal. Policies are not intended to be discriminatory and are applied solely to ensure lifelong placement and welfare of the dog.We do not allow electric fences/halo collars, runners/tethers or doggy doors ##2616225##

Story
Tate is a handsome American Bully/Pit Bull mix who’s ready to find a home with someone who understands his needs and will help him shine. At his core, Tate is a fun, toy-loving guy—especially when it comes to his squeaky toys!Because Tate isn’t dog-friendly, he’ll need to be the only pet in the home. He can get distracted and reactive when he sees other dogs, so his perfect adopter will be someone experienced with dogs—bonus points if you’re familiar with bulldog-type breeds. With the right structure and guidance, Tate has so much potential to thrive.Tate would do best in a calm, adult-only home or one with older, teen children who understand how to respect his space. With love, consistency, and patience, this big-hearted boy will reward his new family with loyalty, fun, and plenty of tail wags.If you’re an experienced dog owner looking for a devoted companion, Tate might just be the one for you!To complete adoption questionnaire: https://hamiltonmcnj.seamlessdocs.com/f/AdoptionApplicationTo see other available animals: https://www.hamiltonnj.com/173/Pets-Available-for-AdoptionHamilton Township Animal Shelter cannot offer any guarantees on the age, health, temperament, personality or mental disposition of any pet.
