My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Guess who's ready to bring some Maverick magic to your life?

Meet our pawsitively awesome 2-year-old dude, Maverick! He was found as a lost pup, but trust us, this boy's got the whole "people" thing down pat - he's practically a social butterfly. Maverick is friendly with other dogs and his ideal home is with older kids!

Maverick's got the scoop on good behavior - trained and treat-motivated, he's the full package! And the best part is his size, he's not too big or too small at 55lbs- he's just right!

Think you can keep up with this Maverick mischief? Come on down to the shelter and let's make it official!
Applications can be filled out in person or online: ahscares.org/adopt

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Individuals wishing to adopt an animal from our shelter must complete an adoption application and provide proof of home ownership or, if you are a renter, you must provide a copy of your lease or a notarized letter from your landlord stating pets are permitted. You must be at least 21 years of age to adopt any animal from our shelter. We reserve the right to refuse any adoption. In some instances, a home visit may be required. Our fees vary depending on the age and breed of the animal. Typically, a mix breed is $110.00 and a purebreed is $150.00 and up. There is also an altering charge of $85.00 for a male and $95.00 for a female. All animals receive vaccines, microchip identification, frontline treatments.

Go meet their pets

We are opened 7 days a week between the hours of 12:00-5:00pm for adoptions. No appt is necessary and we welcome prospective adopters to bring their current pet for a meet and greet with one of our orphans.
We hold offsite adoption events throughout the year. Please visit our Facebook page AHS-Newark Branch & our volunteer page, Friends of Associated Humane Newark Shelter.
