Story
BK is a 9 month old pit and lab mix puppy. I adopted her from St. Huberts when she was 4 months old. BK is a very active and social pup. She loves greeting humans and dogs on her walks, beach visits, and at local pet friendly businesses in Asbury Park. Her owner recently experienced a career change which is both placing financial and time constraints on her ability to provide adequate training and activity time. BK would do be best in a home that has a fenced yard that is accessible to burn off her young puppy energy. BK is well socialized and does well when she is at day care playing with other dogs, so may do well in a home with other dogs. She knows sit, down, wait, leave it, drop it, and cues to go her crate and bed, but is still working on her potty training skills (impeded by her owner being away at work). In this adoption process, her owner is hoping she can find a loving home more suited for active lifestyle.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Buddha aka Butters, is a stunning looking Pit mix who originally came from Louisiana as a stray.  He weighs about 70 lbs. He is approximately 3 years old, and though he is loved by his family,  he is looking for a new home with a fenced in yard & active playmate. He lives with another dog that he loves, 2 cats that he tolerates well, and 4 children that he is very good with. He is reactive to dogs on leash, but with patience & a proper introduction, he does very well.  He is a big snuggle bug with his current owner.  He rarely barks and greets all visitors and people outside beautifully.  He knows some commands and takes treats very nicely.  We feel he would benefit from off leash exercise. Buddah/Butters is a sweet lover boy!   Could you give this handsome hunk the life he deserves? He is fixed, microchipped and he is up to date on vaccines. Buddha tested negative for  heartworm. His adoption fee is $450. He is here in NJ ready to meet you!   How to Adopt Me!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Vivenne "Vivi" is now in a loving NJ foster home. Meet Vivi – the sweetest most soulful girl you’ll ever meet. This beautiful 5-year-old chocolate lab/pointer/pittie mix (best guess) is pure love wrapped in a silky chocolate coat. Vivi weighs about 45–50 pounds, is 100% house trained, and is as close to "the perfect family dog" as they come. She adores everyone she meets and is kid, dog and cat friendly, making her an easy fit into just about any loving home. Vivi is incredibly affectionate and lives for snuggles and couch time with her people. She loves to be near you, happily curling up by your side or resting her head in your lap like the gentle, soulful girl she is. She rides beautifully in the car (the perfect backseat passenger) and walks like a dream on leash, always respectful of other dogs she passes. She has the cutest little quirks that make her extra special. She loves stretching into her “downward dog” pose, and when you come home or it’s time for a walk, she does an adorable little tap dance with her front feet because she’s just that excited to see you. It’s impossible not to smile when Vivi is happy. Vivi is truly the sweetest thing ever and is so ready to shower her forever family with love, loyalty, and cuddles. If you’re looking for a gentle, easygoing, snuggly companion who will be your shadow in the best way, Vivi might be your girl. Vivenne is fixed, microchipped and up to date on vaccines. She is going through her heartworm treatment and will be available for adoption in January after she is altered.  Her adoption fee is $450.     Adopting a dog is a commitment that will require annual veterinary care at a minimum, training, exercise, enrichment, etc. Pet care is not cheap or easy and adopters should consider the costs, time and training   prior to adoption. After all these dogs have been through, they deserve a loving, committed home.
