Adopt A Stray - NJ transport

Dog rescue in Trenton, NJ

Adopt A Stray Rescue is a Foster based rescue out of central Arkansas. We are very much in the trenches of rescue here in the south, taking dogs from some of the most horrifying situations imaginable. We do not have a brick and mortar building, so our rescues are placed into temporary foster homes until they can be adopted. Although we are based in Arkansas, we do very few Arkansas adoptions. We feel that there are too many dogs here and not enough good homes, and all of the shelters in our area are overflowing, with high euthanasia rates. 99% of our adoptable dogs go to the northeast for adoption. Many are adopted before they ever leave Arkansas and transport directly to their new families. We have a few foster homes in the northeast as well, who graciously take in fosters as needed and help network them to increase their chance of finding the perfect family. We believe there is a good home for every dog that comes to us, but it usually isn't near us, so we utilize any and all available resources to get them into their forever homes. We are so thankful to our network all over New England for opening their homes to our strays here in the south.
