American Pit Bull Terrier

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

Roxana was abandoned at the shelter with a note indicating she was protective in her home and had bitten in the past.

Story
Look at that grin! This handsome rock star is always smiling and on the lookout for a dog-savvy human to save him from shelter life. Arlo really likes toys, especially balls! He likes long walks and when it's nice out, he loves to pass the time by sitting under the trees with his favorite humans. Arlo will need an experienced owner to help him with some of his trust issues and more challenging behaviors but we think he's worth the effort! He will need a home where he is the only pet and sorry, but no kids for this guy either. That makes the pool of adopters much smaller - but we're confident that the right person will see his potential and take a chance on love! If you would like to meet Arlo, visit our website (www.HamiltonNJ.com/AnimalShelter) and complete an online adoption application. A shelter team member will then reach out to schedule an introduction.

Story
Hello, my name is Sir Arthur, my mom says I'm royalty. I am looking for a new loving kind home, where I can run, run, run and play. I am a lover not a fighter. Have all my shots, and I'm registered with a Vet. I love kids and kisses. I also give the best hugs, yup I'm a hugger. My mom received me as a birthday present when I was about 8 months old. She has a new job that requires her to travel a lot so she can not spend as much time with me as she likes. She feels guilty for leaving me at home while she is at work. Also my mom is older and she can't, run, exercise and play with me a lot. I'm a little (lot) spoiled, needey, but I'm a people dog.

RESCUE NEEDED! If you are part of an animal rescue organization, have the resources to rehabilitate Roberto, and are willing to transfer him into the care of your organization, please contact the shelter manager: dgioia@hamiltonnj.com. Roberto Clemente was found on a ball field in Hamilton, NJ. He is a challenging, confident, strong-willed dog who needs a dog-experienced person to provide a safe, secure home with no other pets. Roberto knows some basic commands and is food-motivated so that will provide a head-start in his training, but he's a diamond in the ruff so structure and routine will be needed.
