Australian Shepherd

Male, Young

Rockaway, NJ

Story

Cody is an 8-month-old, 40 lb pup who made the long journey from Albania to find his fresh start—and he is making the absolute most of it. This happy, affectionate boy truly adores people. He’s the kind of dog who lights up when he sees you and will gladly soak up all the love and attention you’re willing to give. Cody is great with other dogs and has a playful, fun-loving side. He loves to run, play, and then settle in for some quality snuggle time. He’s well-rounded too—good on leash, rides nicely in the car, and enjoys being out and about just as much as he enjoys being close to his people. He’s the total package of fun, affection, and companionship, and he’s ready to bring all of that into a home of his own. Cody is microchipped, neutered, and up to date on vaccines.

Story

If you’re looking for a loyal sidekick, then Joey is your guy. We think this gorgeous, tricolor male could be a cross between an Australian Shepard and an English Shepard, both of which are very intelligent breeds. Joey walks well on a leash, even though he pulls a bit, and rides well in a car. Joey gets along well with other dogs and loves to play with the dogs in his foster home. Joey would make a great hiking buddy as he is always ready for an adventure. He was picked up as a stray and is guesstimated to be between 3-5 years old. Due to his activity level, we think he is closer to 3 years old. He was thin when first rescued but has put on over 10 pounds and appears to be at his optimal weight at 46.4 pounds on 3/26/26. Joey has been neutered, is to up to date on vaccinations and is microchipped. Unfortunately, Joey did test positive for heartworms, but the good news is that since he is asymptomatic for heartworms, he is on the slow kill method to eliminate them and he should test negative in a year or two. In the meantime, he can live life normally without any restrictions. Joey is neutered, up to date on vaccinations and being kept on monthly heartworm and flea and tick prevention to maintain his good health. Joey’s adoption donation is $450 which includes the $165 transport fee. Joey is being fostered in Arkansas. If you would like to adopt Joey, please fill out an adoption application. The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an online adoption application. You can find a copy of that application here. We sometimes receive a lot of interest on an animal and can't always reply to each email in a timely manner.

After you submit your application, please allow a few days for a volunteer to review your application. During this time your vet reference will be checked and a volunteer with determine if it is the best match for you and the animal. Applications are not approved on a first come, first serve basis. We match up the best home for the animal, so even if the pet has other applications, this does not mean he/she will be adopted to that home. Once your application has been approved a volunteer with contact you to set up a phone interview. This is the perfect time for you to ask any questions you have about the adoption process and the animal you are interested in.

Male, Adult

Size

Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

FOREVER HOME NEEDED!! Kubo came to us in 2020, and was adopted relatively quickly! Unfortunately, his owners could not handle Kubo and it led to them needing to return him. He was terrified upon being back at the kennel, a completely different dog than what had came to us originally. We found Kubo a wonderful foster home where he has been for 2 years! He never receives ANY interest . We are now desperate. Kubo's foster is returning to work and will not have enough time to care for him. This poor boy needs his FOREVER home ASAP!!! Kubo is a very smart 5 year old cuddle bug. He LOVES to cuddle on his person and be around them. He has been undergoing training and has come such a long way. Kubo is good with other dogs but can be very vocal when seeing them outside which is part of what his training has consisted of. He would do amazing in a lower traffic home with adults/older teens. If you are interested in Kubo, visit EHRDOGS.ORG and fill out an application for KUBO (function () { // Only on animal detail pages if (!/\/animals\/detail/i.test(location.pathname)) return; // Debounce to avoid double-fire (touchend + click, etc.) var lastNavAt = 0; function toFullSize(url) { try { var u = new URL(url, location.href); u.searchParams.delete('width'); u.searchParams.delete('height'); return u.toString(); } catch (e) { return url || ''; } } function looksLikeAnimalPhoto(url) { return /\/pictures\/animals\/\d+\/\d+\/[^?#]+\.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)/i.test(url || ''); } function handler(e) { var el = e.target; if (!el) return; // Find the closest anchor or image in the click path var a = el.closest ? el.closest('a') : null; var img = el.closest ? el.closest('img') : null; var url = ''; // Prefer anchor href if it points to an animal photo if (a && a.getAttribute) { var href = a.getAttribute('href') || ''; if (href && (href.indexOf('/pictures/animals/') !== -1 || looksLikeAnimalPhoto(href))) { url = href; } } // Otherwise fall back to the image src if (!url && img && img.getAttribute) { var src = img.getAttribute('src') || ''; if (src && (src.indexOf('/pictures/animals/') !== -1 || looksLikeAnimalPhoto(src))) { url = src; } } if (!url) return; // Absolute URL + full-size version try { url = new URL(url, location.href).toString(); } catch (_) {} url = toFullSize(url); // Stop PrettyPhoto (and any other delegated click handlers) e.preventDefault(); e.stopPropagation(); if (e.stopImmediatePropagation) e.stopImmediatePropagation(); // Debounce var now = Date.now(); if (now - lastNavAt < 500) return; lastNavAt = now; // SAME TAB navigation to the full-size image location.href = url; } // Capture phase is the key: we get the event before PrettyPhoto.

Mr Tux Athens

Australian Kelpie Labrador Retriever

Male, Adult

Rockaway, NJ

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

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

Story

Mr. Tux is a handsome, 1-year-old, 61 lb loyal sweetheart. He is incredibly obedient and intelligent; already well-versed in commands knowing sit, paw, stay, down, and "no." He even stays in place when served food until released. He loves people, gets along great with other dogs, and even showed polite curiosity toward cats, though he hasn’t lived with them yet. Mr. Tux was saved at the literal 11th hour because he was struggling to settle into the kennel environment while in Georgia. He was losing weight, stressed, and clearly unhappy though he never showed an ounce of aggression. Down South, the reality for so many dogs is being the first on the euthanasia list if you cannot live in a shelter environment due to overcrowding. Hearing his story, we had to step in and now, Mr. Tux is safe in NJ with a foster family who adores him and says he quickly fell into the routine and rules of the home. Mr. Tux is crate-trained and house-trained; even alerting you with a noseboop to the door handle or a bark if he needs to go outdoors. He enjoys all the good things in life—cuddling, sunbathing, playing with toys (though stuffies are no match for him), fetching balls, and heading out on adventures. He can be energetic, so we do recommend a family who has a fenced in yard, so he has the perfect place to burn off energy. Though by the end of the day, he's ready to stretch out and take up his fair share of the couch while lounging on your lap! While well-meaning, Mr. Tux is a strong guy and does not seem to be aware of his size. He also loves to give hugs and kisses. Because of this, we recommend a household with only adults or older children only. Mr. Tux is microchipped, neutered, and up to date on vaccines—ready to start his new life with a family who will love him forever. His adoption fee is $415. For an affectionate lovebug of a dog, apply for MR. TUX ATHENS at EHRDOGS.ORG. May 13, 2026, 5:57 am

Story

This little 30 lb, 1-year-old girl is named Penny, and she is one very lucky penny indeed to have been rescued! Her foster family refers to her as "Sweet P." As she has been warming up in a new foster home, her personality is really starting to shine through despite what she has gone through in the past. Penny was rescued from a situation in a rural area overcrowded with dogs where there isn't enough food for them to eat. She had lived with dozens of cats before. Penny has closed that account of her life and is ready to invest in a new loving home. Penny is house trained, is doing well with crate training, is super well-behaved, and an obedient pup. She does walk great on the leash, but it may take a bit of coaxing to actually get the leash on her. Penny is a shy girl, but she is very sweet. She is timid around men, new people, and loud noises but has not shown any aggression. Due to this, Penny should be in a home with no children or older, considerate, gentle children only. While she does not seem interested in toys much, give her a stick from the yard and she is after it! It's the simple things after all. She gets the zoomies, loves pets to her ears, tummy, and butt scratches, and enjoys a long walk. One thing about Penny is she does not seem to be a big fan of stairs, though, her foster family is working on this with her. Penny is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $415. While pennies usually are not worth much, this Penny will make you rich beyond measure!
