✨ URGENT: BOOMER NEEDS A HERO ✨ Boomer is the kind of dog you meet once and never forget. This handsome boy is the definition of gentle — sweet, loving, and just happy to be close to his people. He loves treats, cuddles, and walks beautifully on a leash, making every moment with him easy and special. Despite whatever life has thrown at him, Boomer has held onto his kind heart. He’s the type of dog who leans in for love, looks at you with soulful eyes, and quietly reminds you what unconditional love really feels like. Dogs like Boomer are so often overlooked simply because they’re bigger… but his heart is even bigger. He doesn’t need much — just a family willing to finally choose him and spoil him the way he’s always deserved. Please don’t let Boomer wait any longer for the love he’s ready to give. 🐾💔 PLEASE HELP TEXT KAREN 4136298152

Story
Berta can’t wait to meet you — seriously, she’s ready to go! Rescued as a lost dog, Berta arrived at the shelter underweight and in need of some TLC. Fast forward to now, and this girl is thriving — filled out, feeling great, and ready for her next chapter. At just about 1 year old, Berta is curious, sweet, and super smart. She’s dog-friendly, loves people, and already knows commands like sit, down, and paw (we love an overachiever). Treats are definitely her love language, and she takes them ever so gently. Berta is spayed and ready to head home — like, immediately. All she’s missing is you. 124 Evergreen Ave, Newark, NJ Apply to adopt at ahscares.org/adopt Berta ID# 45493

Story
  URGENT: Cash Needs a Safe Haven by May 15th   Cash is a beautiful 6-year-old, 55-pound Rhodesian Ridgeback mix who has spent his entire life as a deeply loved family companion. Now, through no fault of his own, he is facing a critical deadline to find a new home—or even a foster—by May 15th.   Cash has always had a sensitive, gentle nature. While he has thrived in a calm and predictable home, recent changes have been overwhelming for him. The addition of a baby who is now a busy, walking toddler has brought constant movement, noise, and unpredictability into his world. For a dog who depends on peace and routine to feel secure, it has simply become too much. Cash isn’t acting out—he’s anxious and no longer feels that sense of safety in the place he once called home.   Despite this, Cash is an incredibly loving dog. He is a true snuggler and a couch companion who finds joy in being close to his people. He loves human connection and does well playing with other dogs, making him an easy and rewarding addition to the right home. What he needs now is a quieter environment, ideally with older children or adults, where he can relax, rebuild his confidence, and feel at peace again.   His family loves him deeply, and this decision is heartbreaking, but they know it is what’s best for him. They want Cash to have the chance to truly thrive in a home that fits his needs.   Even a foster home would be a lifesaving solution while a permanent home is found.   Time is critical. Cash must have a place to go by May 15th. There are no other options.   If you can help give Cash the calm, safe space he so desperately needs, please reach out right away at ccrnewengland@gmail.com or text 615-661-5333.   Please share—his second chance could be just one person away. ❤️   PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.  Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site.  The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comMay 22, 2026, 6:02 pm

🚨 URGENT: SENIOR SOUL SIRE NEEDS A HERO—NOW 🚨 At 11 years old, Sire should be safe… not at risk of losing everything he’s ever known. This gentle, loyal boy has spent his entire life with one person—since he was just a tiny puppy. And now, through no fault of his own, he’s about to be left with nowhere to go. His owner is facing a life crisis—losing his job and needing to relocate to care for her sick mother… to a place where dogs are not allowed. 💔 And Sire… will have no one. ⸻ Meet Sire 🐾 • 11 years old | ~90 lbs • Rhodesian Ridgeback mix • Fully vaccinated • Located in Ewing, NJ ⸻ ✨ THE KIND OF DOG EVERYONE DREAMS OF Sire is the definition of easy, gentle, and loyal. ✔️ Dog friendly – truly a pushover ✔️ Cat friendly – has lived peacefully with cats ✔️ Kid friendly – gentle and patient ✔️ Housebroken & crate trained (his crate is his safe space ❤️) ✔️ Calm, quiet, well-mannered ✔️ Not destructive at all He doesn’t ask for much—just a soft place to land and someone to love. ⸻ 💔 A SWEET SENIOR WHO DESERVES PEACE Sire has some minor arthritis (managed with supplements) and allergies (on prescription food), but overall he is a low-maintenance, easy companion. He’s past the chaos. Past the puppy stage. He just wants to be near you… and feel safe again. ⸻ 😭 PLEASE DON’T LET HIM END UP IN A SHELTER An 11-year-old dog will not understand why his whole world disappeared. The stress alone could break him. He has done everything right his whole life. Now he needs someone to do right by him. ⸻ 🙏 BE HIS HERO Open your home to a dog who will quietly love you with everything he has left. Sire doesn’t need perfect. He just needs you.
