Story
Rocket is a stunning white Shepherd mix who turns heads wherever he goes. He’s a high-energy boy who’s full of life, love, and enthusiasm, and he’s always ready for his next adventure. Rocket does wonderfully with all people, and gets along great with other dogs. He would prefer to live either as only dog or perhaps with a female around his size. His happy, loving personality makes him an absolute joy to be around. Rocket is microchipped, neutered, and up to date on vaccines — all he’s missing now is a family to share his big heart with. Apply for Rocket at EHRDOGS.ORG (function () { // Only on animal detail pages if (!/\/animals\/detail/i.test(location.pathname)) return; // Debounce to avoid double-fire (touchend + click, etc.) var lastNavAt = 0; function toFullSize(url) { try { var u = new URL(url, location.href); u.searchParams.delete('width'); u.searchParams.delete('height'); return u.toString(); } catch (e) { return url || ''; } } function looksLikeAnimalPhoto(url) { return /\/pictures\/animals\/\d+\/\d+\/[^?#]+\.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif)/i.test(url || ''); } function handler(e) { var el = e.target; if (!el) return; // Find the closest anchor or image in the click path var a = el.closest ? el.closest('a') : null; var img = el.closest ? el.closest('img') : null; var url = ''; // Prefer anchor href if it points to an animal photo if (a && a.getAttribute) { var href = a.getAttribute('href') || ''; if (href && (href.indexOf('/pictures/animals/') !== -1 || looksLikeAnimalPhoto(href))) { url = href; } } // Otherwise fall back to the image src if (!url && img && img.getAttribute) { var src = img.getAttribute('src') || ''; if (src && (src.indexOf('/pictures/animals/') !== -1 || looksLikeAnimalPhoto(src))) { url = src; } } if (!url) return; // Absolute URL + full-size version try { url = new URL(url, location.href).toString(); } catch (_) {} url = toFullSize(url); // Stop PrettyPhoto (and any other delegated click handlers) e.preventDefault(); e.stopPropagation(); if (e.stopImmediatePropagation) e.stopImmediatePropagation(); // Debounce var now = Date.now(); if (now - lastNavAt < 500) return; lastNavAt = now; // SAME TAB navigation to the full-size image location.href = url; } // Capture phase is the key: we get the event before PrettyPhoto.

Good with kids, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
We rescued Trooper about a year and a half ago in July of 2024. His previous owner had to re-home him due to work relocation and could not bring him. Trooper took time to get adjusted to the new home. It was stressful for us as he was not eating, constantly urinating in the house, and going through the garbage. Those problems were solved within a few weeks. The next and most serious issue we had was the separation anxiety from my Fiance. She works from home and was incapable of completing her work most days because of Trooper. We recently had a baby and Trooper has had severe jealousy issues when it comes to her holding the baby. He is not showing aggression, but he's become worked up and will try to bump the baby from her arms and its become a risk we are not willing to take. We have an 11 and 15 year old in the house which he is fine with. He butts heads with the cat as well. He needs owner who can provide serious training and the attention he deserves.

Story
I rescued Bodhi at All Humane Animal Shelter in 2021. He was 13 weeks old when I rescued him. We have been adventures buddies for over 4 years now. He loves going on hikes, being outdoors, and playing fetch. He loves belly rubs and chicken treats. It breaks my heart to have to get him adopted, but I just recently had a baby and Bodhi hasn’t adjusted well. I’m looking for someone who is willing to give him a good life filled with love, kindness, and adventure.

Story
I rescued Finn almost 3 years ago he is a very intelligent very high energy boy. Hes sweet when he wants to be, independent mostly and will obey most commands. He does not like nails clipped or grooming services,. My apartment is small so we can only do leash walks and I am forced to work 60+ hours a week. Im not home as often as he needs so I have to find him a home. Preferably someone with experience, a big yard and no small children as he is very excitable.

Story
🐾 Meet Noodle — Your New Adventure Buddy & Cuddle Companion! 🐾 Noodle is a handsome 1–2 year old yellow lab/husky/German shepherd mix with striking bi-color eyes and a heart of pure gold. He’s fully grown but still filling out a bit, and he’s truly the perfect blend of playful energy and sweet affection. ✨ Personality & Energy Noodle loves to run in the yard, chase sticks, and play a good game of tug-of-war. He has a solid amount of energy and would thrive with a fenced-in yard or regular dog-park adventures. He walks pretty well on a leash and is eager to keep learning. 💛 Sweet, Loving, and Social This boy is incredibly affectionate—a total sweetheart who loves to cuddle, hang out by your feet, and give kisses. He’s great with other dogs and still has some puppy playfulness in him, which makes him a fun companion for both humans and canine friends. 🧐 Smart & Trainable Noodle already knows sit, down, and shake, and because he’s smart and motivated, he’d benefit from (and enjoy!) a bit more training. He’s also housebroken, making him an easy addition to your home. 🌟 Noodle is the whole package: sweet, social, active, and loving. If you’re looking for a dog who will join you on adventures and then curl up at your feet afterward, this handsome boy is waiting to meet you. His ideal family should be active and because of his size and energy level he would do better with children 7 and older. http://www.coldnosewarmheart.org/dog-application.html @cnwhnj @coldnosewarmheartnj
