Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Quinley, a gentle, sweet boy, is part of our owner surrender program and will be neutered on December 22, then placed in foster care in NJ December 26. He was initially fearful and has been known to be an experienced escape artist who cannot be left outside unattended.   Despite this, Quinley is already making progress—after trembling his first night with our rescue partner in South Jersey, he was cuddling and sleeping on the couch by the second. Raised around other dogs, he enjoys their company as he continues to adjust. Quinley will need a secure environment and a patient, home that understands fearful dogs and prioritizes safety while he decompresses. With time, consistency, and calm handling, his true personality will emerge. If you are interested in Quinley or have questions, please reach out. His temperament and behavior will continue to be updated as his NJ foster gets to know him better. Quinley is up to date on vaccines and tested negative for heartworm.  Quinley is being neutered has a microchip. His adoption fee is $450.  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. CLICK HERE TO FILL OUT AN ADOPTION APPLICATION!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Online Adoption Application The shelter called us to take Bubby. He is a great little dog but has mobility issues in his back legs.  It doesnt stop him from getting around though.  he goes down steps but then barks to get up the steps cause he just cant do it with his back legs.  He uses them, but then they give out. We had another little one like this so not sure if it was due to an injury or a disc problem.  He is sweet as can be and just a good boy.  He is probably a senior at 9 or so.  Happy, loves to eat, barks to go outside or get off of things he cant jump down from.  Smart Smart boy. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.July 16, 2025, 1:55 pm
