My story

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

Xena only wants 2 things in this life: booty scratches and a forever family

Xena is a big girl with a smile to match! She's an amazing dog who has lived with other large breed dogs and kids in her previous home. Her previous owners also told us she's house trained and crate trained.

Xena is a 6 year old beauty with a personality brighter than the sun. She's so incredibly friendly, she really doesn't need much time to get to know you before she's requesting attention! Xena is about 60lbs, a great size for a large breed girl! She's energetic when you first meet her but she mellows out after a bit, preferring lots of pets above all else. Xena is a hit with both staff and volunteers- come meet her at the shelter!

Come to the shelter to see what Xena is all about! AHS Newark Animal Shelter is located at 124 Evergreen ave, Newark NJ

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.
