Xena is almost 2 year old pure breed American Pit Bull Terrier very sweet and active dog. She loves being around people and kids. Her favorite game is tug-of-war. She loves having her sweets time to time. Xena is the best at cuddling and taking naps. She is potty trained and loves her belly rubs. She is one year old birthday is August 14, 2023. When she is left alone at home she sleeps majority of the time until you arrive. Overall just looking for a pet owner that will give her love and spend time with her.

Meet Brody, a 7 year old Aussie mix that is currently boarding in Lindenwold, NJ ! Brody is a handsome, outgoing mature mountain man! He is looking for an outdoorsy person to provide him with love and attention he needs. Brody could easily carry his own supplies on a camping trip. Brody is 100 lbs (but losing weight) blue merle with a copper trim, one blue & brown/blue eye! Brody gets along with other dogs but does want to be the dominant male in the household. He loves car rides and is well behaved on vet visits. Brody loves to be outside! Brody is crate trained and could benefit from training reinforcement. Brody has shown some signs of resource guarding at his foster and could use training on management. Brody would like to be a lap dog, he loves men and is good with clippers. Brody will not be placed in a home with small children. Here is the application: https://www.australianshepherdsfurever.org/adoption-application There is an additional $20 microchip fee which includes registration and transfer to his new furever family.
