Marley

American Staffordshire Terrier

Male, Young

Size

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

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Marley is near and dear to our hearts. This handsome, friendly, social boy has been at the shelter for more than 3 years. Some dogs suffer from such a long stay in a kennel environment but, though Marley deserves so much more, he's actually improved so much from the time he's spent with staff and volunteers. He has learned to walk better on leash and he's become more bonded and attentive to his human companions. He would do best in a dog-experienced adult household that's willing to further teach him manners. That said, we believe he's worth every second of those efforts.If you are interested in meeting Marley, visit or call the shelter - or complete an online adoption questionnaire and a shelter team member will reach out to schedule and 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.

Howie

American Staffordshire Terrier

Male, Young

Size

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

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Young Howie is ready to make friends with everyone he meets! He's an active boy that will do best with an active family who can take him on hikes or for jogs to exhaust his stores of energy. He would benefit from some training as he can get a bit aroused in play and needs to learn how to be more polite and appropriate. He has a tendency to be mouthy in play and, as soft as it is, he needs to learn to not use his mouth when playing with humans. He's been making progress during his time in the shelter. Howie is a big fan of belly-rubs! He is a high-impact, rude player with other dogs so he will need to find tolerant playmates who will not take offense to his over-the-top playstyle.If you would like to meet Howie, complete our online 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.

ROXY was adopted for a period and did great with young kids, but was returned due to there being a lot of dogs in the area. The were concerned that she would get loose while on walks. ROXY is currently in foster and is doing great. She is very easy in the home and they have no worries with people coming into the house.

Story

Have you ever wanted a cuddly panda of your own? May we direct your attention to our very own Panda? Panda is a sweet and affectionate 2.5 year old girl. She was originally found abandoned and locked in a dog crate, but fortunately, she is now safe with us at EASEL. Panda is one smart cookie. Because she happens to be deaf, she is learning hand commands, which is a bit more time consuming, but she already knows some of the basics like ‘sit’ and ‘come.’ Panda does well on walks and, in the home, is a medium-energy dog. Panda has now been at our shelter for over a year and has been waiting patiently for her perfect forever home to come along. Panda would be happiest in a quieter home that will give her a consistent routine. She might also do well with a dog friend who could help build her confidence. Could this big panda bear be the right fit for you? Apply to meet Panda today! Adoption by appointment only with an approved adoption application. Please go to www.easelnj.org/adopt to submit an adoption application. Someone will be in touch within 48 hours.

Nico

Story

This cutie here is Nico who came in as a stray and was not reclaimed so we do not know any back history on him. Nico knows basic commands and has a lot of energy, but once it is all out, he is about lounging around and just chewing a bone. Seems house broken as his kennel is always clean, very treat motivated and pulls some on leash. We are not sure how he will do with others so as always, a meet and greet is required.

Krueger

American Staffordshire Terrier

Size

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

Details

Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Krueger came to the shelter in March as a stray after he and his friend Freddy were left abandoned by their owner. Freddy has been adopted so now we have to make sure that we get Kruger that same opportunity. Since the boys came in without any information from an owner, we have been working on trying to figure this boy out. We know that he came in with another dog so he appears to be ok with other dogs but of course we always require a meet and greet with all new potential roommates. Krueger lives to be around people. You can see his entire body light up with joy when he is relaxed and around people that want to spoil him rotten. We think that Krueger would do well in a home that has a family with older kids who would understand that Kruger is still a work in progress. He is very treat motivated and lives to please people so we believe his training will continue to improve. If you are looking for a showstopper kind of pup who will remind you that you changed his world this could be the pup for you.

Story

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.
