Story
Meet Sandy! She is a sweet and curious lab mix who was born in August 2023.  Sandy is very friendly and affectionate. Though she may be shy at first when meeting new people and dogs, she warms up quickly, revealing her cuddly nature! She is especially good with other smaller dogs and children, making her an ideal companion for any household that will welcome a larger dog. Sandy loves snuggling and her favorite activity is curling up next to her friends. Sandy's playful spirit and loving heart make every moment with her a joy. Adopting Sandy means welcoming a bundle of affection into your life, promising endless cuddles and heartwarming companionship! Sandy knows basic commands, is crate trained and housebroken. She has recently been surrendered by her first adopter as they cannot handle her size along with their other dog. Sandy is looking for a new home with someone who wants a large gentle, loyal and loving companion. Don't let her size fool you, she just wants to cuddle up next to her favorite people and pet companions. Please give her a second chance at the happy life she deserves.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Online Adoption Application What a sweet dog!! This is Sandra, she is 3 and very badly needs a new foster due to a family illness. A forever home would be ideal, she is very sweet, and even though she lives with another dog now she would benefit from being the only dog. She would thrive in a low traffic home. She was rescued a few years ago from the ACC shelter and we do not want her to belong back there. Sandra knows commands, snuggles, plays, and loves walks. She is crate trained and goes to bed at 9 PM sharp in her crate. The biggest issue is that she is possessive of her person, and can exhibit aggression when guarding her person. She was given a two week e-collar training, which has worked beautifully for her. She’s a staffy, german sheppard, boston terrier mix. Fixed and has all shots too. Foster mom would pay for additional training sessions for the forever parent. Please contact me if you are interested !

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Online Adoption Application These girls were all hound mommas living in Louisanna.  The all lived with no owner in some swampy area field and all needed to be trapped with their babies to find a better life and brought to NJ.  They are all heartworm positive and we are treating them for that.  All are spayed and up to date on shots.  These girls are shy but very sweet,  loves other dogs and are very gentle with everyone.  Great with housebreaking no accidents in the house but you have to let them out.  They love sitting in the sun.  Any family would be very lucky to adopt one or maybe two of them as they love each other as well.  They love food and treats,  just shake the treats and they all run right in.  These girls all have my heart,  but I obviously can not keep them all.  LOL.  They are small hound girls about 35 lbs. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 4, 2024, 10:44 pm
