Kylo Lonestar*

American Pit Bull Terrier Blue Lacy/Texas Lacy

Male, Young

Rockaway, NJ

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Kylo was originally rescued from a crowded Texas shelter with a broken jaw that he'd received from blunt force trauma and a skin condition that left him looking pitiful.  Life became infinitely better for Kylo when he was rescued. He came to New Jersey, where he was adopted a short time later, but sadly had to be returned to because the family found that they just could not give him the time, training, and attention he required. He is a chewer--he needs lots of chew toys to keep him on the right track. Kylo is good with some dogs and has been going on play dates with one of our volunteer's dogs! He is about 4 1/2 years old, 45 lbs., and would do well being homed with a dog that is well balanced and can match his play styles. He also needs a confident handler with experience in dog ownership. Because of his rough start, Kylo gets nervous very easily in social situations. It would be best if Kylo was put away if you had company (Which he doesn't mind! We will even purchase a white noise machine for you to use for him!) Kylo is a very energetic pup, who plays hard and loves harder! Even though he is about 45lbs, he still thinks he's a lap puppy and will spend all day in your lap if you let him. He is frequently carried around like a baby by his favorite volunteer friend.  Kylo needs an adopter that is very active but also around for him - he prefers someone who can spend a decent chunk of the days with him. He knows to go to the door when he needs to go potty.  Kylo is very food motivated and will do pretty much anything you ask of him if a treat is involved. He also loves to ride in the car.  Apply to adopt KYLO LONESTAR at www.EHRDOGS.org!April 25, 2024, 6:38 am

Meet Rubie (fka Hagrid Clayton)!  Rubie is a very handsome male pittie mix estimated to be about 4 years old and weighs 54 pounds.  He was picked up as a stray and brought to a local animal control facility, where he ended up on the "urgent list" through no fault of his own.  Those who know Rubie say he is a very friendly young boy, who likes all people and dogs he meets. He is a moderate energy boy who is well-mannered as he is house trained & will sleep all night in his crate.

Story

This is a story about Rabbit, Turtle and Squirrel. One day, Rabbit, Turtle and Squirrel woke up and went for a nice ride in the car with their owner. They stopped at a local dog park and were so excited to be going to play and run. Then, they heard something. It was the sound of the car they knew driving away without them. Their happiness quickly turned into confusion and panic. But 11th Hour stepped in and brought them into their care, helping them to find new & loving homes. Squirrel and Rabbit have been adopted but Turtle is still searching for his forever home. Turtle is about 1 year old and weighs 50 lbs. He has now been neutered, gotten all his shots and is microchipped, too. Turtle is house trained and gets along with dogs after proper introductions. He is shy at first but once he warms up to you he will become your shadow.  If you'd like to give Turtle a loving home where he will be safe forever, please apply to adopt this beautiful boy at EHRdogs.org - be sure to ask for him by name, TURTLE NJ!April 25, 2024, 6:38 am

Pit Bull Terrier

Rockaway, NJ

Size

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Petey came to EHR along with his brother Wagner when they were puppies. Both were adopted but now Petey has been returned to EHR's care. Being back at the kennel has been very stressful for Petey, but he has some great volunteer friends who have nothing but good things to say about him. He has lost his confidence and can be nervous with new places & things, but gives you unconditional love once he trusts. He looks to his people for direction and confidence, so he would benefit from experienced owners who can help him with this. He has gone through obedience training and is a fun loving boy. He absolutely loves going for car rides, too! Petey gets along with other dogs, but we think he would do best in a home without children right now. Can you help Petey get his second chance at finding a true forever home? If so, please fill out an application at EHRDOGS.ORG and be sure to ask for him by name! You will not be sorry you did!April 25, 2024, 6:38 am

Story

Meet Brock! Brock is guaranteed to melt your heart, since he is an energetic sweetheart full of love.  He has moved around many times in his short life and is looking for his furever home.  Since Brock is a curious boy who enjoys exploring outside, he would be a great addition to an active family, couple, or anyone who would like a hiking or running partner! He is eager to please his humans and extremely treat motivated. Brock continues to work on his obedience skills and has been a quick learner in his foster home.  Because he is still learning to handle his excitement, it would be best for him to go to a home with dog experience, and where the youngest residents are at least in the teenaged years.   Once he is able to burn off his energy, Brock is content to entertain himself with his toys. He sleeps quietly in his crate all night and loves curling up during a good car ride. Brock LOVES other dogs that are his size or larger.   If you are interested in meeting Brock, apply to ehrdogs.org and don't forget to mention him by name!April 25, 2024, 6:38 am

Story

Meet Dillon. He's a sweet and energetic 3 year old pitbull mix at around 68 lbs. He absolutely loves love and is a huge cuddle bug. In the time we have had him, he has never known a stranger and wants scratches from every person he meets. He loves any chew toy he can get and will chase any ball you throw though he doesn't quite understand the concept of fetching yet. He is still working on his manners but is very quick to please. We think he would be happiest as a solo dog mainly because he wants all of your attention and love.

Hello everyone! I hate to do this but I rescued Lola this January and she is so sweet and loving. She is potty trained and not aggressive at all. She just needs someone with more time for her. She is so energetic and hyper and deserves to be in a home with a yard or someone who can walk her more. If you do decide to adopt her I would like to take her back if you can not care for her. Please do not bring her to a shelter.

Meet Jack..... **** Adoption fee is covered by a sponsor Jack is a 3 year old, 45 pound neutered male Pit Bull/Lab mix. He is a gorgeous chocolate color. One ear decided to go up and one ear decided to stay flopped.... Super cute. Jack loves to be active and outside, but also loves to hang out on the couch and snuggle up. He would make a fantastic running or hiking buddy when you’re feeling active, but will also be happy to have lazy days with you! He is goofy and silly like the lab in him, and enjoys entertaining himself with his toys. Jack knows a ton of commands and has been the star in his training classes. He is very smart, treat motivated, and is very eager to please. Jack deserves to find his forever home. We would love to see this sweet guy in an adult only home, or a home with older kids. A meet n greet would be necessary if a potential family has a current dog to ensure both dogs like each other, before moving forward.

Story

Lucy is a beautiful little Boxer mix girl, about 10 years old and 40 lbs, who loves going for walks and playing outdoors.  She’s had a fair amount of training and knows her basic commands, but as with any dog, she could use an owner who will keep up her training. Lucy is cautious upon meeting new people but once she trusts you, her loving side shines through.  She has a strong personality that requires an experienced dog owner. Lucy loves to go for rides in the car, walks at the park, swimming, playing with her toys, and spending time with her favorite volunteers. She has spent far too long waiting for her forever family to come along (almost 7 years in the shelter...). Adopters are often turned off by the fact that she will require multiple meets to learn its ok to trust you. Will anybody take the time to love Lucy..? If you’d be interested in meeting Lucy, please fill out an application and be sure to mention her name!April 25, 2024, 6:38 am

Violet Beauregarde Lonestar is 5 years old and 60 lbs and was saved from a Texas shelter with minutes to spare!  She has a bunch of energy so would benefit from an active owner. Violet is good with dogs but prefers if the other pooch knows some manners! She does great in the car and is an excellent walker, even likes to go running. Although this beautiful girl is sweet and cuddly, she can tend to get over excited at times - so, children should be older/considerate.  She needs an owner who will provide her with rules and has some dog experience. Violet is a sweet happy girl who would like a quiet home to live in with not a lot of visitors. She may need to be put away when guests come over as she can become a bit protective of her people and home!  If you would like to meet this pretty girl, fill out a canine application and don’t forget to mention VIOLET BEAUREGARDE LONESTAR!!April 25, 2024, 6:38 am

Story

Are you looking for a smart, eager to learn, affectionate big lap dog!? Look no further. Rocky is your guy! At 3 years old and 60 lbs, this guy thinks he is still a puppy. Rocky is incredibly smart and knows several unique commands such as spin around & roll over, but he knows the basics, too, like Sit, Down, Stay, Eat & Speak. Rocky likes other dogs and would probably benefit from living with one as he can be a little insecure at times. He loves his friends and enjoys meeting new ones at the park or the vet. He does however like to protect his home so he prefers a more controlled introduction to new people for that. He has also lived with older children (6 & 12 years old) and did well with them. Rocky sleeps in his crate quietly all night. And he's smart enough to let you know when he needs to use the outdoor restroom by whining. He's good in the yard & doesn't try to jump the fence - he does love to play ball, too. He's young so he would love to have a home where he'd get exercised. Rocky was adopted as a puppy but unfortunately is now back with Eleventh Hour because he was able to escape from his owner one too many times for their liking.  If you are interested in Rocky, visit EHRDOGS.ORG and fill out an application & ask for him by name, ROCKY!April 25, 2024, 6:38 am
