Meet Destiny – A Gentle Soul with a Sweet Side Destiny arrived with Benji, her longtime companion, after leaving the only home they’d ever known. While they don’t need to be adopted together, Destiny is ready to start a new chapter with someone who’ll appreciate her calm, loving nature.

Destiny is food-motivated and responsive to gentle guidance, making her a great match for someone patient and dog-savvy. She’s still brushing up on leash skills and will need time to settle into her new routine. What to Know About Destiny: 🐾 Enjoys walks but also loves to lounge 🍖 Food is the way to her heart 🧠 Best suited for an experienced household 🧹 High shedding — regular grooming needed 💛 Multiple visits required to build trust Destiny has a soft, steady presence and so much love to give.

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
🚨 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
