People think shelter dogs are broken - they aren’t.
UNO was failed by his owner but he still had lots of love to give ❤️❤️
He was thin when he came and a bit frightened but will lots of love and attention from his foster parents ,Christine and Angelo he did great!!
We waited many months for his perfect fit to come along and look what happened❤️❤️

Simba
Simba needs help!
When Simba was brought to the shelter by animal control it was obvious that this little guy needed some help! The shelter reached out to us and we immediately said yes after meeting him. When we take any dog like this we aren’t sure what to expect. We will always get whatever is needed to give our dogs the best chance at a comfortable and happy life.
Simba was recently seen by a neurologist and received an MRI and a spinal tap. The cost of this visit was $5866.40 - we still need additional testing which will be done in conjunction with our own veterinarians at Rockaway Animal Hospital. We have narrowed it down to a few possibilities.
Simba is obviously challenged but amazingly enough he is a happy guy who loves everyone he meets. He is trying so very hard to enjoy all that life has to offer. We just love him
We try not to ask for help but we really could use some now. His veterinary bills have exceeded 6000 and are still growing.
Please consider a donation of any amount to offset the costs of his treatment.
We are truly thankful for all the help we get from our supporters ❤️

Sometimes you have to wait a bit to find home and she has certainly paid her dues. Kyla is happy, playful and loving. She has waited longer than she should have to find the happiness she so deserves. Kyla is a 3 year old boxer mix who enjoys cuddling, her leash walks and is well behaved in the home. Her toys give her so much joy whether playing with you or all by herself! Please take the time to meet her and give her a chance to show you just how special she really is❤️❤️❤️#njshpetrescue #blackdogsrule #BLACKDOGSROCK #boxermix #opttoadopt #adoptdontshop
Kyla is a vocal girl, she growls when she plays!! This is so often misinterpreted and so many dogs get in trouble because of it. Kyla is very lovable, and focused on her handler. This dog lovessssss people and even lived with small children. Kyla even tested well with cats She is currently at Pawsome Unniversity with trainers Jamie and John. They know her very well and feel as we do that she will move seemlessly into a home with no dogs. Kyla walks by dogs without reacting but she is anxious when they are in close proximity. Maybe someday but for now we are looking for a foster with no other dogs. Kyla is 3 years old, 53 pounds and a very good girl !!

Foster - Foster to adopt - adopt❤️. Kyla is a very well behaved girl !! She is very well mannered in a home environment and is still looking for a second chance with a loving family of her own. Kyla has had some bad luck along the way but that hasn’t keep her from loving all of us!! She is a boxer/ pit mix who is about 3 years old and 53 pounds. Kyla would do best as an only dog but she is great walking with them - and is non reactive on leash. She is well trained and obedient. Kyla was a family dog who lived with young children - she just needs someone to take a chance on her❤️❤️#boxermix #blackdogsrule #blackdogsmatter #opttoadopt #fosteringsaveslives
Nikki loves to run !! There is nothing like watching a shelter dog take their first run in the yard. We waited a bit to make sure Nikki would respect the fence before letting her run free and this week we got to see it!! Nikki is a happy girl - always friendly - always loving!! She is a little over a year old and super smart. Nikki walks great on leash and would love an adopter who would like to take her walking or hiking - she really enjoys it !! #njshpetrescue #huskymixesofinstagram #huskymix #dogsofnj #opttoadopt
Thank you John and Jamie for taking such good care of Kyla!! We appreciate you showing us exactly who she is!! We knew!! ❤️ Press the button to see our sweet girl!

Mudge came to us in 2021 and was adopted by a lovely family!! They saw Mollie when we first rescued her and her brother from the Northern Ocean County Animal Shelter and reached out to us to meet her !! Mollie is now Rosie and so happy. We can’t believe the transformation- both she and her partner Ollie were matted messes and had to be shaved down. They were likely a backyard breeder pair who were let go as they were found as strays. They are both living beautiful lives in Chester, NJ. Thank you for choosing adoption and not shopping - you would be amazed at the types of dogs you will find at your local animal shelter❤️#njshpetrescue #adoptdontshop
Jolene joined us on Thursday night last week from Louisiana. This sweet girl has been enjoying the snow!! She is just about 5 - 6 months old and teething!!! Her foster family is teaching her to chew the things she is supposed to chew!! We think Jolene is just beautiful!! She is a daschund/hound mix and so very sweet!! #njshpetrescue njshpetrescue.org
Why foster? A picture is worth a thousand words - she had no chance but her foster family gave her one. #fosteringchangeseverything #fosteradog njshpetrescue.org
Kyla is working onto many things at Pawsome University!! She is doing great and we are learning so much about her. We are still looking for a foster home for her as an only dog. Please consider being part of her journey. njshpetrescue.org
Yesterday we were lucky enough to have Buddy welcome his brother and sister to NJ. We are truly grateful to his family for having the pups overnight ( well it doesn’t seem to be overnight anymore) Rusty is acclimating a bit quicker but Sugar has been a bit nervous. Buddy is working on it. Today is a new day and the future is so much brighter !! Fostering is such a gift to a scared dog. Thanks again for helping these pups out Buddy and family ! #njshpetrescue #fosteringsaveslives #opttoadopt njshpetrescue.org
