Story
Akio's Story Meet Akio! Akio is a handsome 1-year-old Akita/Husky mix who came to us as a stray and is now ready to find his forever home. Weighing in at 73 lbs, this big guy has the looks—and the potential—to be an amazing companion. Akio likely spent much of his life outdoors, so he’s still learning some of the basics of indoor living. He pulls a bit on the leash and will benefit from continued socialization with people, but he’s already shown that he gets along well with other dogs and seems to do just fine with cats, too. He’ll need some guidance with housetraining and basic manners, but with consistency, patience, and positive training, Akio should thrive. He’s a young dog with lots of room to grow and would do best with an experienced adopter ready to help him learn and build confidence. If you’re looking for a loyal, striking dog and are excited to help one blossom, Akio is ready to meet you! 🐾 Please apply for Akio at https://www.gloucestercountynj.gov/FormCenter/Animal-Shelter-5/PreAdoption-Application-50

Story
Wisteria came in as a stray with Magnolia, but we are unsure if they actually lived together or made friends during their travels. She does seem dog friendly though. Wisteria is a happy sweet girl. She loves tossing stuffed animals and playing keep away. She also seems to be a very social girl and would do great with an active family. Wisteria walks nicely on leash and takes her treats very gently but does seem to be a bit picky as to which ones she likes. Please stop in and meet this pretty princess so she can continue her adventures.

Story
🚨 URGENT – Meet Sully 🚨 Sully came into the shelter as a stray and is currently underweight, but his gentle spirit and loving personality shine through. He is very friendly with people, loves treats, and walks well on a leash, making him an easy companion right from the start. Despite being thin, Sully remains affectionate and eager for connection. He’s the kind of dog who just wants someone to notice him, care for him, and give him the chance to regain his strength in a loving home. ✨ He’s sweet, well-mannered, and ready to thrive — all he needs is a chance. ✨ PLEASE HELP TEXT KAREN 4136298152

Story
💔 DESPERATE PLEA – SENIORS NEED A MIRACLE TOGETHER 💔 These two 7-year-old bonded seniors have lost everything. They spent their entire lives together with the only family they ever knew—until their owner passed away. Now, they are dumped, confused, and facing an uncertain future, through no fault of their own. They are sweet, gentle dogs who rely on each other for comfort and safety. Separating them would be heartbreaking—they are all each other has left. Important details: • Must be adopted together • No other pets in the home • Both are loving, calm, and well-mannered • Seniors who deserve peace, not another loss These dogs do not belong in a shelter. They deserve a quiet home, a soft place to land, and someone willing to give them dignity after such a tragic loss. 🙏 Please—be their miracle. PLEASE HELP TEXT KAREN 4136298152

Story
Blaki's Story Meet Blaki 🐾 Blaki is a stunning husky mix, male, about 80 lbs of pure love and personality. He came to us with a microchip, but sadly his owner never came for him—so now he’s ready for a brand-new chapter. This high-energy boy is built for adventure. Long hikes, beach walks, exploring new trails—whatever you’re into, Blaki will happily be your walking buddy. He is strong on leash, so a confident, experienced handler is a must. Despite his size, Blaki truly believes he’s a lap dog. He will lean all 80 lbs into you for hugs, shower you with a million kisses, and make sure you never feel unloved. He’s a lover, not a fighter through and through. ✔️ Dog friendly ✔️ Good with kids, but due to his jumpy enthusiasm, we recommend children who are steady on their feet ❌ No cats—he’d prefer a feline-free home Blaki’s giant heart just hasn’t caught up with his giant body yet, and he doesn’t always realize his own strength. What he does know is how to love HARD. Someone take this hunk of love home and give him the forever family he deserves! ❤️🐺 💌 Adoption application: https://www.gloucestercountynj.gov/FormCenter/Animal-Shelter-5/PreAdoption-Application-50
