Story
Walter is a senior dog who is believed to be fully blind. He was found roaming the streets and never claimed. We don’t know much about Walter but we have seen him calmly sleep in his kennel. It seems as if the chaos and loudness of the shelter does not bother him. Walter is available for adoption and needs an adult only home to decompress, where he can get the medical follow up he needs and spend the rest of his golden years in peace. Puppies and Seniors have no place in a shelter. We hope Walter does not remain here any longer.Come meet Walter 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!April 7, 2026, 6:55 am

Story
This is a courtesy post for the owner of this dog.  You will not be adopting from Castle of Dreams Animal Rescue. Please contact the owner directly through the contact info provided below. Codey is a 7 yr old male shih tzu. Due to his owner having health issues and being unable to care for him at this time, he is looking for a foster or possible permanent home. Codey is up to date on his shots but is not neutered. He has a great temperament and is great with kids. Codey is very affectionate and just needs a place to feel secure and comforted. If you are interested in helping Codey by providing him a safe home, you can contact Courtney at 732-673-9016 or courtneyacoppotelli@gmail.com.    March 10, 2026, 1:23 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Online Adoption Application The shelter called us to take Bubby. He is a great little dog but has mobility issues in his back legs.  It doesnt stop him from getting around though.  he goes down steps but then barks to get up the steps cause he just cant do it with his back legs.  He uses them, but then they give out. We had another little one like this so not sure if it was due to an injury or a disc problem.  He is sweet as can be and just a good boy.  He is probably a senior at 9 or so.  Happy, loves to eat, barks to go outside or get off of things he cant jump down from.  Smart Smart boy. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 7, 2026, 11:36 pm
