Story
We need to surrender our dog and we are desperate now. In July I rescued a beautiful male pit bull who was being kept in my neighbor’s shed. We got him neutered and all the medical care needed immediately. We hired a professional trainer who worked with us to get this dog in a much better disciplined place. Kody is a great young dog with energy. He is not good with cats and we have 4. We were trying to work on that. My other dog isn’t able to handle Kody who is much younger. We thought she would get over it. Any shelter will put him down. We looked into it last week. He is a big spoiled mush who loves to be with us. He is house and crate trained, up to date on everything. This is not what we want to do but have to do. This is the hardest decision ever.

Story
Ralph was abandoned as a pup, found by a friend of my grandson and kept by the friend in his room temporarily. My grandson stepped in and said his mother, my daughter, would take him, which she did, and kept him with her through thick and thin until she could no longer take care of him. She is homeless and that is why Ralph ended up at an animal shelter that could not offer him a place to stay — there was no room for him, they were filled to capacity and I was told in no uncertain terms that I must pick him up. That is how he ended up with me. As you can see from his photos, he is a very handsome fellow. He is also healthy, strong and usually a perfect gentleman, except when it comes to cats, one of which lives in the house. There is no fence around the house’s yard, which means I have to walk him 3-4 times a day. I am 74 years old and not up for the task, but someone younger and more resilient than me could give ralph the loving permanent family he deserves!

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, Adult
Hamilton, NJ
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Sheba is an energetic, playful gal, ready for fun and games. She is exuberant and high energy and will benefit from an active family that can take her on hikes and excursions that will sap some of her energy. She is instantly friendly when greeting new people, jumping up for attention and pets. She would benefit from some training so that she learns how to greet people more politely. Sheba seems social and curious about other dogs but also snarky and easily frustrated. She may be able to have dog friends if introduced properly, with gradual introductions with low-key playmates. She would be best as the only dog in the household.If you are interested in meeting Sheba, please complete our online adoption questionnaire and a shelter team member will reach out to you to schedule an introduction. https://hamiltonmcnj.seamlessdocs.com/f/AdoptionApplicationHamilton Township Animal Shelter cannot offer any guarantees on the age, health, temperament, personality or mental disposition of any pet.

Story
With the help of a few dedicated volunteers and staff, we've learned that Stella is a lot of fun, will immediately climb into your lap if you sit with her. She is well-behaved but does have a lot of puppy energy and curiosity. She's a little insecure and would benefit from training and confidence building. Stella has some behavior concerns that would need an experienced handler to provide training so that Stella may better learn to trust people and behave appropriately around new people. If you are interested in meeting Stella, please complete our adoption questionnaire and a shelter team member will reach out to schedule an introduction. https://hamiltonmcnj.seamlessdocs.com/f/AdoptionApplicationHamilton Township Animal Shelter cannot offer any guarantees on the age, health, temperament, personality or mental disposition of any pet.
