Story
Dove was found as a stray and we cannot believe that no one has come looking for this sweet pup.  She is nervous at the shelter and loves to be comforted and snuggled by the staff and volunteers.  A cage is not place for this girl so if you think she may be a match for your family, come visit her today! All Perth Amboy Animal Shelter residents will be fully vaccinated, spayed/neutered and microchipped prior to adoption.  You must be 23 or older to adopt from the shelter, complete an Adoption Application and pay the associated adoption fee.  The application must be approved by the shelter staff and all adoptions are finalized based on the best interests of our animals.  Come visit us Monday - Friday between 10am and 4pm and Saturday/Sunday from 10am - 3pm.  Contact us at (732) 324-3877 and don't forget to ask about our Foster Program!February 9, 2025, 9:53 am

Story
My name is GRUMPY and I’m a 5y M Tan Shih Tzu X. I’m 15 lbs of PURE SWEET GROUCHINESS. I was brought to a police precinct in the Bronx, NY and luckily the rescue was able to save me before I was taken to the shelter. I was affectionately named Grumpy because I was not immediately warm and fuzzy with the foster mom and growled at her a lot… but once I got to know her and she went slow with me to introduce me to her household… I trusted her and she can do anything to me now. I’m a little guarded with strangers and rightly so because I was pretty much neglected by my previous family. I’m housebroken and walk well on the leash and I can be picked up and handled as long as you slow. I’m a nice guy but nervous at first so I need someone who is going to be patient and believe in me and give me the TLC I need. I’m good with small dogs but am afraid of big dogs and will snap/snark at them. I’ve not met any cats so not sure about them and best if I don’t go with any young kids. I prefer to be the ONLY DOG so I can get all the attention that I never got in my previous home. My only other vice is that it’s not easy to groom me.. I’m nervous around objects coming to my face so I need to go to an experienced groomer but I was fine being handled by the vet. I need a QUIET ADULT ONLY home with someone or a couple that are home a lot and have had previous experience with a “grumpy” dog and are willing to give me the TLC and believe in me to make me the SWEET AND LOVING dog I know I can be!! If that’s you.. pls request an application by sending an email to: INFO@TAILSOFLOVERESCUE.ORGOctober 21, 2024, 12:19 am

Story
** Current Location: in a private facility in South Korea ** • Rescue Story : A dog with its eyes completely missing, a dog whose body was entirely blackened, a dog with rotting genitals... We struggle to find the words to describe the horrors we witnessed. Like hamsters on a wheel, the dogs cried out for help. There were every kind of dog here, some that were once fashionable and others currently in demand. The once trendy dogs were dying in the corner, while those now popular were crying out for salvation with every part of their body. This place had been illegally breeding and abusing animals for 25 years. From this hell, the rescue team saved Momo. • Personality: Loves people, loves friends, affectionate Momo loves people and is very affectionate. Momo loves almost everyone she meets, but if she has bad memories, she might show discomfort if suddenly lifted, especially if her belly is touched. People who often praise her with positive expressions like "pretty," "good girl," and "the best" will be the best fit for Momo. • Affinity with -Cats: Not tested -Dogs: Momo gets along well with all dog friends. She has never shown rejection or dislike, but she has not yet experienced outdoor walks and meeting new dogs in public. We will need to observe Momo’s reactions when she meets different dogs in the future. She would do well with a calm companion, but whether she has a cohabiting dog or not does not seem to significantly affect her life. -Adults/Kids: She gets along with all the activists and volunteers she meets at the facility. / Not tested with kids • Shedding: 1-2 (1-10 scale) • Walking Manners: Momo has not yet had a proper walk. Once her adoption is confirmed, the rescue team will provide her with as much walking training as possible, but the adopter will need to continue practicing walking with her. • Housetrained: Momo currently only uses indoor pads. She still needs training, but once her adoption is confirmed, the rescue team will continue pad training, though the adopter will need to continue training with her as well. • Separation Anxiety: None at the current facility • Barker or Quiet: Occasional demand barking but cannot hear his voice (due to a surgery in the puppy mill) • Food Allergies: None • Likes & Dislikes: Likes people, touches, treats, and comfortable places! / Not a fan of sudden lifting, especially when her belly is touched. • Health: Momo doesn’t make noise when barking, possibly due to illegal procedures performed at the breeding facility. She had surgery on her right patella and is currently undergoing rehabilitation. The right mammary gland 1-2 has benign lesions, which have been treated with cryotherapy. Her left mammary gland 4 had malignant lesions, so a mammary surgery was performed. Also, given that the dog was rescued from a puppy mill, we believed she was likely pregnant in the past.

He is a "cuddle enthusiast" and often smiles when receiving attention. • Affinity with -Cats: Not tested -Dogs: Lulu has limited experience interacting with other dogs. He doesn't show much interest in them but could benefit from living with a similarly-sized companion. His social skills will develop as he gains more experience. -Adults/Kids: Lulu is affectionate and friendly with all people. • Shedding: 1-2 (1-10 scale) • Walking Manners: Lulu has not yet had proper walks. Once his adoption is confirmed, he will receive walking training, but continued practice with his adopter will be necessary. • Housetrained: Lulu frequently marks indoors and is still learning to use pads. More training is needed, and his adopter will need to continue this process. Once his adoption is confirmed, the team will continue pad training, but the adopter will need to maintain consistency with training. Baths/Brushing: He's calm during grooming, including nail trimming and brushing. • Separation Anxiety: None at the current facility • Barker or Quiet: Occasional demand barking (getting out of a crate, asking for more belly rubs, etc.) • Food Allergies: None • Likes & Dislikes: Likes People, treats, cuddles, and toys! • Health: Lulu has undergone surgery for both patellar luxation and is currently in rehabilitation. An ulcer in his left cornea is being treated with eye drops and is recovering.

Story
This tiny little duo are sisters who were surrendered together as their parents could no longer care for them.  They are estimated to be about 10 years old, they are completely bonded and must remain together for the rest of their lives.  Don't let their age fool you, these 2 are active, and sometimes vocal.  They're affectionate, and quite comical together.  The girls are spayed, we had their core vaccines updated, all they need now is a forever home.  We had extensive bloodwork done, and all medical records are available to any potential adopters.   Interested in adopting me?  To fill out an application visit 3 Hearts 4 Paws.  Please note: we generally do not adopt out of state unless it is within 1-2 hours of us.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 15, 2025, 4:43 pm
