Story
Meet Dory – A Survivor with a Gentle Heart Hi, I’m Dory! I’m a calm, sweet girl with a big heart, ready to find my forever home. I get along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes and love being by your side, whether we’re enjoying a short walk, a car ride, or just relaxing together. My journey hasn’t been easy. I spent over two months in a shelter with broken legs and a dislocated hip, waiting for someone to save me. When my foster mom rescued me, I needed urgent surgery to survive. Thanks to her care, I’m here today, ready for a fresh start. I’m polite, quiet, and well-behaved—perfect for a small yard or apartment. While I might limp after longer walks, I still love visiting plant nurseries and stores, soaking up attention and affection. If you’re looking for a loyal, low-energy companion with a story of resilience and a heart full of love, I’d love to be yours. Could you be my happily ever after?

Meet Bikini, a delightful 1-year-old pit/catahoula mix with a heart as big as her playful spirit! Bikini is a bundle of joy who loves spending her days playing outside with her canine friends. Whether it's chasing after a ball, exploring new scents, or just frolicking in the sunshine, Bikini's enthusiasm is truly infectious. When she's not out and about, Bikini is equally content lounging around the house, soaking up all the love and attention she can get. She's a true cuddlebug at heart and enjoys curling up on a cozy spot with her favorite humans. Bikini's sweet, easygoing nature makes her the perfect companion for both playtime and relaxation. Bikini is potty trained and crate trained and knows a few basic commands. She is highly food motivated so any additional training should be a breeze! She is great with all humans and dogs of all sizes. Bikini is located in Texas. Her adoption fee is $195 local or $395 out of state with transport and includes current shots, microchip, spay, negative heartworm test and current on preventions.

**** URGENT! CHIP NEEDS A FOSTER OR ADOPTER BY FRI 9/20! **** Chip was saved from euthanasia in a southern shelter due to space. We were able to get him to a foster home but due to personal medical reasons, foster dad cannot keep him past this weekend! His foster dad feels awful about it because Chip is an AMAZING dog - sweet, well behaved, loves everyone he meets, especially other dogs. Even the shelter where he his time was up said “ Chip came into our shelter as a stray. This sweet guy is such a doll baby! He is amazing with other dogs and LOVES to get all the attention!! Knows lots of basic commands!” He is neutered, current on all shots and needs nothing other than the loving home he deserves! He is currently located in Somersworth NH. If you can help by fostering or adopting this boy, please CALL/TEXT Aly at 732-604-0625 ASAP as time is of the essence! Thank you for caring about a pet in urgent need!

Story
Spartan came to us after his previous shelter has burned down. We can only guess what breed mix he is, though he appears to have APBT and staffy in him. He is great with other dogs and new people, and he’d thrive in any family! He loves being outside and going on adventures. He’s a playful and lively dog, but when it’s time to settle down he’s the best cuddle buddy! Spartan is very smart and is highly food motivated. He will make the best addition to a loving family.
