We rescued Daisy (FKA Dumpling) a few months ago when she was shutting down, scared, & skinny in one of our partner shelters. Her foster Jenna allowed her to open up, gain confidence, and become the best girl ever 💕 little did Daisy know she was right where she belonged! Jenna adopted her. We love happy foster fails! Yay Daisy!

Bear has been adopted!!!! If anyone remembers, we rescued Bear in May. An owner was trying to surrender him to one of our partner shelters we help with so we took him in. It was his first time outside. He was so scared. Skinny, limping, and pooping dry pasta (no it wasn’t worms, they literally fed him uncooked pasta).
Thank you so much Katie & Paul for taking Bear in and giving him the most love, patience, and care he needed to flourish! You are amazing fosters and I (and Bear) are so grateful for everything you did for Bear. 💕we cannot forget Koa, Bear’s foster sibling, for showing him the ropes on how to be a dog.
He had a lot of anxiety so his fosters were so kind to get Bear a board & train program with Anderson K9 Training. Mr. Anderson was able to make Bear go from extremely fearful and reactive to everything, to now have the confidence to handle new environments without going into a complete panic.
And lastly, thank you Cameron for giving Bear his forever home. Bear melted right into Cameron’s arms when they first met. They then did a second meet & knew they were meant for each other ❤️. Have such a good life Bear, you deserve it!

Meet Raven, a beautiful 2-year-old Siberian Husky looking for her second chance at a forever home or a foster family to provide her some love while she waits!

About Raven:
• Knows basic commands
• Walks wonderfully on a leash
• Loves affection and belly rubs
• Has a sweet and calm temperament

Raven is currently located at Atlantic County Animal Shelter in Pleasantville, NJ. If you’d like to meet her, the shelter has visiting hours daily for adoptions.

Shelter Details:
• Address: 240 Old Turnpike Road, Pleasantville, NJ 08232
• Phone Number: 609-485-2345

If you’re unable to adopt but can open your home to foster Raven, fostering would be through Waggy Butts & Happy Mutts, INC.. We provide all supplies, including food & other necessities—you just provide the love and care! Apply to foster on our website: waggybuttshappymutts.org or email us at [email protected] for more information.

What We Know:
• She didn’t seem to mind other dogs during her evaluation.
• We’re unsure about her behavior with cats or kids, but we’re happy to help with introductions to ensure the best match.

Help Raven find her happiness—whether it’s through adoption or fostering, you could make a life-changing difference for this sweet girl!

This weekend’s waggy butts!

** New fosters: Welcome, Duke & Terrance! They took their freedoms ride from Atlantic County Animal Shelter yesterday thanks to their wonderful fosters who welcomed them into their homes. Duke is playing and cuddling with his new friends (see second pic❤️) while he gets settled. His foster mama says he is the sweetest boy ever. 💕how can you not love Duke??
Terrance is also settling into his foster home! (These are two diff homes btw ☺️) He ended up in shelter because his owner passed😕and he was definitely a little scared. His foster mama is ready to let him open up and show his personality when he feels ready!

We wanted to give a happy update about Seymore! I’m sure everyone saw the many posts we made looking for placement for him. On Saturday Seymore went to a foster to adopt home. They said they absolutely love him, he warmed right up to them, and he is so silly and right at home there 💓.

Adopt Neva!
4 months old
House broken
Crate trained
Sleeps through the night
Knows sit
Walks well on leash

She's been socialized around people and children. Current foster usually takes pup to train at Home Depot. She’s also been socialized at the dog park, but doesn’t usually initiate play. Likes playing with dogs her size.

She loves to run outside and chase Chuck-it balls. Working on recall with a long line as well.

She’s also been learning positive associations with cutting her nails at home as well 🙂
