Story
Lucy was adopted from HSAC as a younger pup. Unfortunately due to divorce she has found herself homeless. She is a true companion dog wanting to be with her person/people and doesn't understand why she's stuck in a shelter. She would do best as an only pet as she doesn't like to share her people or things with other dogs. She can be a little timid meeting new people but quickly turns into a "shadow" dog wanting to be right with you. She's a quiet, mild mannered girl and would prefer a quieter home with no small children. Primary Color: Tri Color Weight: 54 Age: 4yrs 11mths 1wks

Story
Hello there, I'm Max, a seasoned Akita with a heart full of love. My days are filled with friendly tail wags and curious sniffs around my humble abode. I've got a mellow demeanor, but don't let that fool you, I'm quite the smarty. I've learned a lot in my years and I'm eager to share my wisdom. I'm the kind of dog who appreciates the simple joys of life. A warm bed, a good meal, and a kind hand to pat my head are all I need to be happy. My golden years are just as golden as my spirit. I'm looking for a forever home where I can share my love and wisdom. Adopt me and let's make beautiful memories together.

Story
Hello, I'm Bruno, a senior Akita with a heart full of love. I'm a friendly chap, always ready to share a goofy joke or a funny antic. My loyalty knows no bounds, and I promise to be your most faithful companion. I'm a bit of an old soul, but that just means I've got plenty of wisdom to share. I love lazy afternoons, belly rubs, and the joy of companionship. I might be a senior, but my spirit is young. I'm full of life, love, and laughter. Adopting me means gaining a friend who will stick by your side through thick and thin, always ready to brighten your day with a wagging tail and a warm nuzzle. So, how about it? Will you give this old dog a new leash on life?

Story
Meet Gage, the resilient pup with a heart as big as his will to wag his tail! Gage hails from Memphis, TN, where he sadly endured a close-range gunshot wound to his back. Despite his past, Gage remains loving towards people, offering tail wags as a sign of his affection. Now in NJ after being discharged from the hospital, Gage is a friendly, energetic fellow in need of a secure, fenced-in yard where he can frolic and play. Gage's past as a stray remains a mystery, but his love for food has made training a breeze for this cheerful guy. Will you be the one to finally give Gage the loving home he deserves?

Introducing Pina: Pina's story is one of resilience and love. She was once cherished by a devoted mom who nurtured her, but sadly, unexpected circumstance led her to needing a new home after her mom suddenly passed away. Despite the loss she endured, Pina remains a bright and affectionate soul, although she may need a bit of time to rebuild her trust. A well-behaved girl who is adept at basic commands, she's an excellent companion in the home. With patience and proper introduction, Pina could potentially thrive alongside a male large breed dog. Join Pina's journey and be the one to offer her the loving home she deserves.

Meet Luna! Luna is a 6 month old pup who now looking for her furever home. This girl is very confused being in a shelter. She was in a home her whole upbringing; however, their landlord said she wasn't allowed. Luna is still very much a puppy and would need to go into a home with no young kids. We also recommend she goes to a home with a fenced in yard. She has really come out of her shell and is very well behaved on a leash, she keeps her kennel clean and should be easy to housetrain.
