Baloo

Baloo is a purebred silver lab that was purchased from a breeder.  He is truly one of the most affectionate dogs we know.  He loves to just sit and be pet, take a car ride and LOVES to hike and swim.

​

Watch Baloo playing here.  If you are an active person with strong big-dog handling experience and in an all adult home with a fenced in yard this lovable boy is for you! 

At this point, we feel that Baloo would do best as an only dog. While he does not react to other dogs outside of the home, he does not always like to share his indoor space with them.

Baloo is in search of someone who will give him the structure he needs and is willing to work closely with us on acclimating him to his new home.

Cappuccino

Cappuccino and his litter mates (Mocha & Latte) were surrendered to NJSH because the owner had more dogs than he could handle. The puppies were born due to an unplanned rendezvous between the unspayed female and the unneutered male visitor arriving with a friend.

Mom is very loving and under 20 pounds and Dad is also under 20 pounds.  We just couldn't guess the breed so we did a DNA test on one of the pups and we found they are a Chihuahua-German Shepherd-Rat Terrier-Australian Shepherd mix! 

We are so lucky to have three amazing puppies who are about 7 months old now and are super affectionate, agile, and intelligent (look at him work on this toy). Their amazing foster mom has gotten them house and crate-trained and they have been lovingly socialized with dogs and people.

Champ CP

***Courtesy Post***
Meet Champ! This amazing hunk weighs in around 100lbs, is UTD on shots and is neutered. Champ recently came into rescue in September of 2021 after he and another resident dog couldn’t get along.

When we met Champ we noticed his eyes were super cloudy so we made an appt with the Ophthalmologist.  It didn’t take long to discover that Champ suffers from Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA) and has already lost 70% of his vision. He has been taking a “nutraceutical” supplement to slow this progression; however, the sad fact is that Champ will eventually be completely blind. He is doing well in his foster home as he has learned the layout of the yard, his kennel and stairs.

While he is doing very well, we would love to find Champ a home of his own. Blind dogs are not helpless, they are adoptable and they love just like a sighted dog.

They need structure, a routine, and a human that they can depend on. Champ needs an adopter who has experience with visually impaired dogs, a fenced-in yard, older kids, or adult only. Champ MAY be able to live with a calm dog (not cats). A meet and greet will be required. Patience and routine will be key to Champ's success in a forever home.

***** Please note that Champ is not an NJSH Pet Rescue dog but we are helping to find him a home

Chrissy

Chrissy was sent to NJ to find a better life by a southern shelter. Unfortunately, that is not what she found. Chrissy was seized by animal control after living in a home with too many animals. She was sent into the care of a very loving and experienced foster home after being removed. Although Chrissy is a very sweet girl, her trauma is deep and will likely take her a good amount of time to heal.  It is our goal that one day Chrissy will be ready for a forever home of her own, but until that time she is in the very loving capable hands of her foster family.

Cooper

Cooper was raised in one home since he was a puppy. His life there was very stressful which led to him being fearful of loud noises. Cooper is loving, warm and friendly much of the time. He will need a quiet environment with someone who will give him time and space to feel comfortable in his new surroundings.

Do you live alone, have no other animals, have a fenced in yard and are able to put Cooper away when you have company.   If so Cooper may be the dog for you He is affectionate and playful and enjoys nice long walks.  . He just can’t take a lot of excitement but is a great companion.
 

He has spent some time with our trainer that feels he can be successfully acclimated into a home where he can continue to develop his confidence.   Watch Cooper entertain himself here

You must be willing to work with us on acclimating him into your home. We are sure that together we can change things for Cooper.

Duke

We rescued both Duke and his brother Bertie with unusual facial scarring a few years ago. They were both adopted quickly because like their breed (treeing walker coon hounds) they were very sweet and gentle. We visited several specialists and the scarring was found to be only cosmetic and nothing severe. 

Duke is a great looking dog and an enjoyable walk he also excels being part of a pack, loves people and is cat friendly too!! Duke would do best with another dog or dogs in a home with a fenced in yard. Watch Duke run here!

He was returned to us when their were some changes in the home.  We took him to the vet and he was fully vetted and brought up to date with shots. Duke was diagnosed with Lyme Disease and has been treated. His blood work was great and we are seeing the happy go lucky dog we remember !! 

Duke would do best with another dog or dogs in a home with a fenced in yard.

Duke is available for foster or adoption

Juliana

Juliana is a young girl and has been living in a devoted foster home since January. 

She was found with her brother Noah who has gone on to his forever home and is doing great.

Juliana is a bit more timid so we have kept her in foster where she is opening up more and more each day. 

She is a very sweet and playful pup that will surely bring much happiness to her adoptive family one day soon.  We will give her all the support we can while she gains the confidence to become the amazing girl we know she can. 

Julianna will need to go to a home with another dog or dogs and a securely fenced-in yard.

Monroe

Monroe is a fun, energetic, and vibrant 6 year-old purebred soft coated wheaten terrier. We took him as an owner surrender because he was nipping at children visiting the home.

Monroe is a wonderful dog who is affectionate and playful with his people. He would enjoy the company of another dog and in fact we think it would be great for him.

He will need a quiet home with someone willing to give him plenty of patience and time to help him adjust. He is a great walk, good in the car, house-trained and well behaved in the home.

Nala

Nala is a 4 year old, 20 pound Cockapoo that was surrendered to us when her family was moving. She was trained to use wee wee pads but she will go outside. We have been working on leash skills and we are making progress and a fenced in yard would be a plus for her. 

Nala lived her whole life in one home with 2 small children. Her owner tells us that she guards her toys and her children were told never to take a toy away from her.  So it was never worked on and she was never taught otherwise.

For this reason, we are placing her with older considerate children only. She is a sweet, friendly, pretty girl who will require a little patience but she will be worth all of the effort and make someone very happy!

Ollie

Ollie and Mollie are two adorable Maltese/mixed dogs that were discarded like trash in Ocean County NJ.  Animal Control brought them to the North Ocean County Shelter where they were cleaned up and received medical attention.  It was so sad, poor little Mollie was still full of milk having recently given birth.

Ollie, a small guy weighing only 15 pounds and about 6 years old, is a perfect lap dog, enjoys playing with toys, and is crate-trained.  Despite the circumstances they faced, both dogs are sweet, very friendly and get along well with other dogs.

They are currently being fostered in separate homes and doing well in their temporary environments so we don't feel they are bonded.

Petey

Sweet senior Petey has lost his person and his home and you can see the confusion and sadness in his eyes. As heartbreaking as it is, Petey’s owner knew that his illness would no longer allow him to care for his beloved dog. NJSH Pet Rescue made a promise to Petey snd his owner that we would find a loving home for Petey to spend the rest of his life. Petey loves to play fetch with his orange ball and he loves car rides. He is quite a spunky boy for 9 yrs old and so adorable too.

If you would like to have Petey become part of your family, please submit an application today.

Rocco

Sweet senior Rocco was adopted as a puppy and lived his entire life with his family until now at age 14,  was been placed in an overcrowded inner city shelter.  Good with everyone he meets and dogs too, Rocco is indeed a hidden gem.  

NJSH could not leave this senior another day in the shelter where he was clearly under great stress. Rocco is a perfect gentleman thriving in his foster home and is receiving the love he so richly deserves.  Rocco will bring love and kindness into your home and don’t we all need more of that!

Wheezy

.    

 Wheezy was surrendered to the shelter when her owner became ill and could no longer care for her. At 8 yrs old the shelter must be quite a scary place. Wheezy was so very happy to leave the shelter with NJSH and cuddled up for a nice ride home. She is good with both dogs and cats. Wheezy is also well behaved in the home and can be left alone without being destructive. She is housebroken too! Wheezy is a wonderful girl looking for a second chance family of her own.
