Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Gibson is a fun 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. Meet Gibson — your future little sidekick with a big personality!  Gibson and his buddy Bramble were found together as strays, but this sweet boy is more than ready to trade his wandering days for a forever home of his own. He may take a minute to feel comfortable with new people, but once you’re in his circle, Gibson is outgoing, affectionate, and full of fun. He loves yard time, enjoys a good walk on leash, and has the perfect daily routine: zoomies first, nap time immediately after. Honestly, he’s got life figured out. Gibson is believed to be a Jack Russell Terrier mix, is house-trained, friendly, and has no food or toy aggression. He’s a genuinely good boy looking for someone to give him the safe, loving home he deserves. If you’re looking for a compact adventure buddy, yard-zoomie specialist, and professional nap companion, Gibson may be your guy.  Gibson is neutered,  microchipped and is up to date on vaccines. He  tested positive  for heartworm and will need treatment when he comes to NJ, this will require 2 trips to our vet in Barnegat . 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
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Tally is with our partner rescue in LA and can come to NJ with an approved foster or adopter Meet Tally – A spunky girl looking for a fresh start Tally is a tiny spark of joy just waiting to light up someone’s world. This sweet 6-year-old Rat Terrier came to us under heartbreaking circumstances after her owner passed away. She was found alongside her daughter, Jasmine (who is also looking for a home), and despite everything she’s been through, Tally’s gentle spirit is shining bright. True to her breed, Tally has a fun, energetic side and absolutely loves to play. She’s also a bit of an athlete and can easily leap over barriers, so a secure 6-foot fenced yard is a must for this little adventurer. Tally isn’t leash-trained just yet, but she happily uses a doggy door and enjoys spending her days exploring the backyard and soaking up the sunshine. She’s friendly, quiet, and incredibly sweet—a perfect mix of playful and gentle. Tally would thrive in a home where she can safely run, play, and be loved the way she deserves. Let’s give this deserving girl the fresh start she’s been waiting for. Tally is up to date on vaccines and tested negative for heartworm.  She has been spayed and has a microchip. Her adoption fee 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.

Story
ONLY AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION IN NEW JERSEY AND LOCAL SURROUNDING AREAS!!! If your application is a possible match, a volunteer will get back to you within 48 hrs. No inquiries, please, without an application. Birdie is a one year old rat terrier who was surrendered after her owner could no longer take care of her. She came to us extremely shy and shut down. She was petrified of any loud noise or sudden movements. Now that she has been in a foster home for a few weeks, she is coming out of her shell, running and playing with the other foster dogs and not tucking her little nubby tail between her legs. Although Birdie lives with other dogs, we believe she would be happy in a quiet adult only home as the only animal. She loves her foster mom and now enjoys pets, butt scratches and belly rubs. Birdie will need some more socializing work and some major TLC but she will be an amazing dog once she gains more confidence. If you are interested in Birdie, Please go to bfdaaa.com to complete an application. September 26, 2026, 12:07 am

Story
Ollie is a 5-year-old mixed breed rescued from NYC’s municipal shelter, and he has one very important post-crate ritual: grab a toy, take off running, and celebrate his freedom like he just won the lottery. Once he gets that out of his system, Ollie is all about snuggling, exploring, and hanging out with his people. He also does well with his canine foster sibling, so he’s perfectly capable of sharing the spotlight when needed. He’s playful, affectionate, and has just the right amount of goofy energy to keep things interesting. Registered adopters interested in Ollie can email adopt@hbrdogs.com for more info. If you’re not registered yet, you can do it at hbrdogs.com.
