🚨 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’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
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

Story
Help Bella and Bear, a devoted duo of Akitas, find their forever home! Originally found abandoned on a logging road in Montana, this bonded pair embarked on a journey from Oregon to our rescue in New Jersey, demonstrating remarkable resilience. Now settled, they are thriving on treats, leisurely walks, and human companionship. With their affectionate nature, they're suitable for families with older children and would flourish in a home with a secure backyard where they can play freely. As the sole pets in the household, they seek a breed-savvy family to provide the love and care they deserve. Interested in Bella and Bear? Please go to our website at www.bigeastakitarescue.org and put in your application for Bella.
