Story
Venus was rescued back in October. Her first week in rescue was 24/7 hospital care on IV liquids, antibiotics, and pain medicine. Her diagnosis included several broken ribs (likely from humans kicking her). We have a strong inkling that Venus somehow escaped from the life of a bait dog for dog fighting which sadly is commonplace in our state. She was very thin, every bone in her body was protruding and she had very infected abcesses all over her body from bite wounds. She had heartworms and has completed the full treatment. She has made a complete recovery and is ready to be a part of a family, something she has never had before! She does not get along with other dogs. Cats aren’t her thing either, but she makes up for it with loyalty, affection, and the sweetest temperament. Venus is ready to brighten someone’s world. Could it be yours? She is currently being fostered in Mississippi but included in your adoption fee is transport to a location near you by Rescue Riders Pet Transport, the most animal friendly transport on the road! Please message us if you are interested in adopting this little girl and we will send you an adoption application! We look forward to talking with you!

Story
Age: 3 years     Weight: 50 pounds Location: Hamilton, Mercer County, NJ Nicknames: Dee-Dee, Dee-dah-Dee Good with other dogs?: Yes. Dee-Dee is currently living in a foster home with another dog. There have not been any issues between them, they are fine to eat and sleep in the same room and have never had any arguments over toys or chewy bones. Her foster brother is an English Bulldog who is just about the same size as her but several years older. Good with cats? other: Dee would most likely need training to not chase a cat, she runs after anything in the yard that moves. Good with children? unknown, will not be adopted to a home with kids under 10 Activity Preference: Needs a couple walks a day., Needs in-house activities IQ: Smart Doris's favorite things: Dee-Dee is very curious and likes her walks so she can see what everyone in her neighborhood is doing. She does not play with toys much and does not chase balls. She does enjoy a good chewy bone and would love to have a dog friend to play with. Doris is good at: meeting people, meeting dogs, going for car rides, walking on a leash, cuddling Ideal home: another dog, someone at home most of the day, a fenced yard Training Needs: needs obedience training Health issues: None Meet Doris Dee-Dee is a shy girl but once she warms up she is a champion cuddlebug! She is content to curl up on the couch with you but will also need an appropriate outlet for her occasional bouts of zoomies. She walks very nicely on her leash, and while she enjoys a casual pace walk when the weather is hot she can also keep up with you on a powerwalk on the cooler days. She really just wants to be where you are. She is super sweet and very quiet.   PLEASE READ: Adopters will not be considered without completing an application.

Story
Muffy is a sensitive, sweet-natured girl who is looking for a patient and understanding home. New people and unfamiliar situations can make her nervous at first, but once she feels safe, Muffy enjoys gentle affection and being close to the people she trusts. She’s the kind of dog who will need a little extra time to warm up, but her soft personality is worth the wait.Muffy would do best in an experienced, adult-only home that can help her continue building confidence at her own pace. She’s more comfortable around calm, nonreactive dogs and may benefit from a confident canine companion to help show her the world isn’t so scary. Loud or overwhelming environments are not her style — Muffy is hoping for a quieter home where she can feel secure, loved, and understood.With patience, kindness, and consistency, Muffy has the potential to form a deep bond with the right family and become a very loyal companion.To complete adoption questionnaire: https://hamiltonmcnj.seamlessdocs.com/f/AdoptionApplicationTo see other available animals: https://www.hamiltonnj.com/173/Pets-Available-for-AdoptionHamilton Township Animal Shelter cannot offer any guarantees on the age, health, temperament, personality or mental disposition of any pet.

Story
🚨 URGENT: Maggie Needs a Hero 🚨 At 6 years old, Maggie should be spending her days curled up on a cozy couch, making her family laugh with her goofy personality—not sitting in a shelter wondering if anyone is coming for her. This sweet, dog-friendly girl has so much love left to give. She’s affectionate, gentle, and full of silly charm that will have you smiling every single day. Whether she’s making funny faces, bouncing around with a toy, or leaning in for affection, Maggie has a way of brightening every room she’s in. Sadly, time is running out for this wonderful girl. She doesn’t deserve for her story to end in a shelter when she has so much life, love, and happiness left to share. Please don’t let Maggie become another forgotten face. Give this beautiful girl the second chance she deserves and the forever home she’s been waiting for. Maggie is ready to love you for the rest of her life. She just needs someone to choose her. ❤️ PLEASE TEXT KAREN 4136398152

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Twix is a neutered French Bulldog looking for an experienced, patient home. He is affectionate with his people, loves toys, food, cuddles, and being the center of attention. He is healthy, up to date on his rabies vaccine, and previously had eye ulcers that have fully resolved. Twix has significant behavioral needs. He has a history of aggression toward other dogs and has been involved in fights that resulted in scarring to his legs and ears. He resource guards food, toys, furniture, and attention, and can become aggressive toward other animals, especially when on a bed. Because of this, he must be the only pet in the home and would do best without young children. He struggles with anxiety and can be destructive to doors, beds, blankets, and trash when stressed. He has damaged teeth in the past due to anxiety-related behaviors, but his veterinarian has no current concerns. Twix needs continued behavioral training, structure, and management. A specialized safety crate is available (fee)
