🚨 URGENT! BOJANGLES NEEDS A HOME NOW — MUST BE THE ONLY PET 🚨 📍 Southern shelter — at risk Meet Bojangles, a stunning Akita/Shepherd-type mix who has been let down by humans but still believes his person is out there. This boy is loyal, smart, and absolutely devoted to the people he trusts. He just needs ONE person to choose him. 💔 ONLY PET NEEDED Bojangles wants all the love to himself. He bonds deeply and does best without other animals in the home. He is NOT aggressive just a one-pet kind of guy. 💙 What makes Bojangles special: • Handsome, unique Akita/Shepherd look • Loyal & people-focused • Smart, alert, and eager to please • Walks well on leash • Medium energy — loves walks and outdoor time • Protective in a good, “I love my person” way 🆘 Why he’s urgent: Shelter life is extremely stressful for him, especially being surrounded by other dogs. He needs out immediately before he shuts down. Bojangles is out of time. 🏡 He needs: • A home with no other pets • Someone experienced with Shepherd/Akita-type breeds • A patient, calm adopter willing to give him a chance • A loving home where he can finally feel safe ❤️ He will be the most loyal companion you’ve ever had. Bojangles isn’t for everyone — but he will be everything to the right person. PLEASE TEXT KAREN 4136298152

Story
He may be called Teddy, but he’s no plushie! Four-year-old Akita Teddy is a sweet, handsome boy who gets along wonderfully with both dogs and cats! He’s social with the ladies, and while he can be a bit unsure around men at first, he warms up with patience and kindness. True to his Akita roots, Teddy’s protective instincts run deep — he loves hard and wants nothing more than for his family to feel safe and happy. Teddy is house-trained, neutered, and ready to find his forever home! Because Akitas are a nuanced breed with unique traits and needs, we’d love to see Teddy with a family experienced in the breed and ready to appreciate all the special things that make him who he is. Meet Teddy at AHS Newark, NJ animal shelter ahscares.org/adopt Teddy ID# 38446

Holly was found as a stray, taken to our kennel in Texas and then transported up to our adoption center in Chester County, Pa. She is spayed, up to date on vaccines and current on Flea, tick and heartworm prevention. To apply please fill out the application linked below! https://form.jotform.com/222314529153147

Twinkle lived at an Amish Farm in the house; however, the children let her outside and she killed the chickens. So very high prey drive. She loves children, playing in the yard and car rides. She is shy with new people at first but when she warms up to you, you will have companion for life. She knows basic commands and walks well on a leash. Twinkle is located at our Texas Ranch.

Meet Daphne and Velma ??? Meet Velma & Daphne — the Halloween Huskies! ??? Straight out of a spooky Scooby-Doo adventure, this dynamic duo was found running side by side, covered in fleas — but don’t worry, they’ve since been treated and are now flea-free and fabulous! ?? These 4-year-old beauties are classic huskies through and through: high energy, full of personality, and always ready for their next great mystery (or run). ? They’re on the lookout for active families who can give them the exercise, structure, and training they need to thrive. ? About the girls: • Around 4 years old • High energy & adventurous • Did well with other dogs • Likely will chase cats (too much fun to resist!) • Great with kids, but sometimes forget how big they are • Need husky-savvy families ready for lots of movement, structure, and love ?? These girls would love a big yard to run in or a jogging buddy to keep them busy. If you’ve got the energy to keep up with this spunky pair, Velma & Daphne will reward you with endless love, laughs, and loyalty. ?? Adopt them and make this Halloween the start of their happily ever after! ??

Meet Luna ? Meet Luna! ? Luna is a stunning 3-year-old female Husky who arrived as a stray on 10/18/25 and is now ready to start the next chapter of her life in a loving forever home. This energetic girl is all about adventure! Luna gets along wonderfully with other dogs and would be thrilled to have a canine playmate. Cats, however, are a bit too exciting for her—so a feline-free home will be best. True to her Husky nature, Luna has plenty of energy and a big personality. She’ll thrive in an active household that can keep her busy, both mentally and physically. Previous Husky experience is a big plus, as she’ll benefit from someone who understands the breed’s exercise needs and love of activity. If you’re looking for a lively, loyal companion who’s always ready to go, Luna might be the perfect match. She’s eager to meet her new family and begin her happily-ever-after!
