This dog is part of our shelter outreach program where we take dogs from overcrowded shelters in hopes of finding them a forever home here! We generally do not have much background info on them and cannot guarantee they are housebroken.  They are all up to date on vaccines, spayed/neutered and microchipped  Meet Phoenix  We think this cool girl is a mix of Australian Cattle Dog and Doberman Pinscher - which basically means brains, beauty, and boundless energy all wrapped up in one sleek 37-lb package. At just 11 months old, Phoenix is the perfect medium size and still very much a fun-loving pup. She LOVES her people. Like…your-new-shadow, biggest-fan, ride-or-die energy.  She’s smart, eager to please, and would absolutely thrive with someone active who wants a true companion for walks, hikes, adventures, and maybe even some fun training goals. Phoenix is looking for: • A fenced yard for zoomies and playtime • A commitment to obedience classes (she’s ready to learn and shine!) • An active home that will channel her energy into becoming the best canine citizen she can be If you’re searching for an energetic, loyal BFF who will keep life interesting and full of love, Phoenix is your girl. Apply today and let this spark light up your life!  **will be spayed prior to adoption  *Per JSAC policy, puppies and kittens under 6 months will not be adopted to families with children under the age of 6 years.March 18, 2026, 6:44 pm

Story
Drea is an 8 yr old female Husky. She is a very sweet and well behaved dog. She is not a barker or anything like that. The quietest dog I have ever seen actually. This was my father's dog who is unable to care for her since his wife passed away and his health issues. I know they rescued her in NC but his ex wife is trying to take care of her at the moment and has asked me to reach out for adoption. My parents are both almost 80 and Drea pulls her sometimes when she walks her. They had a doggie door where she let herself out to go where he lived in NC but here in NJ we are in a condo and she has had accidents while we were out so we started putting paper down but will let you know if she needs to go. We feel she needs someone with a fenced in yard and that can give her a lot of attention, like a companion or buddy. She is very mellow and is used to a quiet home with adults. I have updated this that she is just scared of kids and chaos. All of her paperwork is with her as well.

Story
Ranger is back… and he doesn’t understand why.  Just last year, Ranger left our shelter as a happy puppy with his whole life ahead of him. Now, at only 1 ½ years old, he’s back - and completely heartbroken. Through no fault of his own, Ranger lost his home. His owner loved him, but long work hours and financial struggles made it impossible to give him the time he needs. And now… Ranger sits in his kennel, scared and confused, waiting for someone who isn’t coming back. Ranger is incredibly sweet and affectionate, the kind of dog who just wants to be close to his people, soaking up love and giving it right back.  He is young, energetic and strong.   This handsome Lab mix is 68 lbs of love and loyalty. He’s housebroken, smart, and knows his commands. He walks nicely on leash with his training collar and has done well with other dogs—he even went to doggy daycare! He likes kids and truly just wants to be part of a family again. But shelter life is not for Ranger. He is struggling. He doesn’t like the kennel, and you can see it in his eyes—he’s searching, waiting, hoping. Ranger needs a home where:Someone is around most of the day - not a fan of being aloneThere’s a fenced yard for him to enjoyNo crating (he’s not comfortable being confined like that) He has so much love to give, and right now he just needs someone to show him he’s not been forgotten. Please…if you’ve been thinking about adopting, or know someone who might be the right fit, Ranger needs you now. Let’s get this boy out of the shelter and back where he belongs, home. *Per JSAC policy, puppies and kittens under 6 months will not be adopted to families with children under the age of 6 years.March 22, 2026, 10:35 am
