As you know, New Jersey has been taking a beating from Mother Nature lately. And our friends over at the Plainfield Area Humane Society need help.

Firstly, all the animals are SAFE! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ But they lost everything when the building flooded. Please take a look at their Amazon wish list for item donation and visit their website for monetary donations to the shelter. โค๏ธ

CROWDSOURCING:

Part of our services is not just rehoming dogs, but also trying to keep families together as much as we can. Someone recently contacted us looking for assistance as they are moving from South Carolina to Brooklyn, NY.

Their German Shepherd is currently safe and is staying with a family friend down south as they make arrangements here up north. They want to keep their dog and are actively looking for an apartment/rental that will allow german shepherd dogs on the property. They are looking to stay in Brooklyn but would consider the other boroughs of even New Jersey as long as its NYC adjacent.

If you have any suggestions for apt complex rentals, please drop them below. THANK YOU!

Rex is a handsome, 3-year-old male GSD who bonds deeply with his person. His former family worked with a trainer after discovering he was reactive at the front door, but he continued to struggle with one family memberโ€”so they made the difficult decision to return him.

Now, Rex is looking for a calm, experienced homeโ€”no other pets, no kids, and few visitors. He needs to meet new people on his terms and feel safe in a quiet environment.
โœ… Neutered & UTD on vaccines
โœ… Walks well on leash
โœ… Loves his toys
With patience, structure, and continued training, Rex has so much potential. Think you could be the one for him? Letโ€™s talk. ๐Ÿ’™

Meet Hula โ€“ A 3-Month-Old Powerhouse of Potential ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿพ

Donโ€™t let the puppy face fool you โ€” Hula is 100% Malinois: brilliant, bold, and bursting with energy. Sheโ€™s the total package โ€” affectionate, driven, and already mastering turbo-charged zoomies. ๐Ÿ’‹โšก๏ธ

Hula is ready to write her comeback story โ€” can you believe she was found abandoned? All she needs is the right partner to help her shine. If youโ€™re experienced with high-drive working breeds (Malinois experience required) and want a dog with the brains and the heart to go the distance, sheโ€™s your girl.

โœ… Training started โ€” and sheโ€™s picking it up fast
โœ… Confidence and sass to spare
โœ… Loves other dogs
โœ… Great with kids 15+
โ“ Cats unknown

Hula isnโ€™t looking for a lapdog life โ€” sheโ€™s looking for a purpose, a challenge, and a best friend who can keep up with her high energy and working drive.

๐Ÿ•โ€๐Ÿฆบ Superstar in the making

Think you can match her pace? Apply now at www.gsrnj.org and let the adventure begin. ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿถ

๐Ÿซ๐Ÿ’™ July 8th is National Blueberry Day and to celebrate, why not try making these yummy Blueberry Treats for your pups! ๐Ÿซ๐Ÿ’™

๐Ÿซ๐Ÿฅœ Blueberry, Oat, and Peanut Butter Dog Treats ๐Ÿซ๐Ÿฅœ

Ingredients:
1 cup fresh blueberries (Slightly chopped if very large - the frozen wild ones are perfect for this recipe)
2 ยฝ cups whole wheat flour
ยพ cup oats
ยฝ tsp salt
ยฝ tsp ground cinnamon
2 eggs, well beaten
3 tbsp peanut butter (Remember to use peanut butter does NOT contain Xylitol)
1/8-1/4 cup warm water, as needed

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a silpat mat or parchment paper.
2. If the blueberries are large, chop them up a bit then place them in a mixing bowl.
3. Add the flour, oats, salt, and cinnamon to the bowl and mix until combined.
4. Whisk together the beaten eggs with the peanut butter then add to the blueberry mixture and mix until combined. The dough will be dry and crumbly so add about 1/8 cup of warm water, and mix until it sticks together in a ball. Add a little more water if it's still too dry.
5. Working on a floured surface, knead the dough 3-4 times until it comes together. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Using dog treat cutters, cut out desired shapes, and place on the prepared baking sheet.
6. Bake until golden brown and crisp, about 30-35 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container in the freezer or refrigerator. Enjoy.

Remember Rex? ๐Ÿพ
He was adopted a few months ago, but he's back and still searching for his perfect match.

Now, Rex is looking for a calm, experienced homeโ€”no other pets, no kids, and few visitors. He needs to meet new people on his terms and feel safe in a quiet environment.

Meet Hula โ€” a 3-month-old Belgian Malinois puppy looking for a forever home.

Hula was heartbreakingly left tied to a fence with no food, no water, and no explanation. But true to her breed, sheโ€™s bounced back with spirit, heart, and a whole lot of attitude.

Hula is currently thriving in foster with eight other dogs. Sheโ€™s dog-friendly, crate trained, potty trained, and already working on her obedience with her rockstar trainer foster mom.

Hula needs an adopter with hands-on Malinois experience (non-negotiable), plus a professional trainer lined up before adoption (see our site for suggestions).

Think you can keep up?
๐Ÿ“ฉ Apply now โ€” before she zooms off to her next adventure.
