Sometimes second chances make for very beautiful beginnings❤️❤️

It was a little tough for Lacey when first surrendered to our veterinarians office but she put her best foot forward and made the best of everything!!

Lucky Lacey made her way into a wonderful foster situation with one of our wonderful veterinarians!!
Lacey was only a year old and had already had puppies!! 12 of them to be exact.

After her spay and some routine veterinary care she found an amazing family with a furry sister to love as well!!

We received such a nice update yesterday and we couldn’t be happier to know that she is doing so well!!

It was Black dog day!!!
We continue to work on dog integration with Kyla and it just gets better and better !!!

Mac is great with dogs and he was happy to engage with Kyla who seems to be figuring it all out! It was a great walk today and we hope to spend some time together tomorrow.

We have learned that the dogs will exceed our expectations if given the chance.
Great job Kyla- we are proud of you❤️

Pretty and positive is what we like to say about Kyla❤️
She has nothing but love to give and we are so thankful that she is given an opportunity every week to get out of boarding and into a home for a few days each week.

Kyla was once a cherished family pet and it’s evident when she is home. She understands how to live in one !! House trained and respectful of items in the home.

At 4 years old, she has spent half her life homeless which is the sad state of affairs for many dogs in NJ.
Kyla is a lucky dog and she knows it, so she wastes little time feeling sorry for herself. She enjoys her walks , her time with her friends and her toys.

Kyla is looking for a home of her own as an only dog although we have had very positive interactions with other dogs, we feel she would be happiest as an only dog. She loves people most of all.

Kyla is excellent on leash and very affectionate!!
She is available to foster or foster to adopt ❤️

What’s taking us so long ?
Often people think that a dog who has been waiting for a long time to find a home has issues that make them unadoptable.

There is nothing further from the truth, especially now. There are many dogs who have done absolutely nothing wrong sitting in shelters all over NJ.
How do we know? It has been our experience that once we take them home they are fantastic, well behaved and loving from the minute we meet them.

We have had Nikki since February - she sat in the shelter for 3 months prior to that and now has been sitting with us - thankfully in a loving foster home.

Nikki has had some meet and greets but none that were a fit for her.
We place our dogs carefully and we know that the right fit is imperative for a successful placement.

Although Nikki lives with 2 dogs in her foster home we feel that a home as an only dog will be in her best interest. The good news is she can be with other dogs but would be happiest without sharing her home with one.

Nikki is so many things wrapped into a very beautiful package. She is happy, fun and affectionate. Nikki loves people and will be wonderful with children.

We know that her people are out there and until she finds her perfect forever - she will be loved and cherished by us❤️❤️

Our favorite couch potato ❤️❤️
Chance is living such a great life and we are thankful everyday that we took a chance on him!!

We received a call that he was “in trouble” - we in rescue know exactly what they means.
Unable to get anyone to the shelter to meet him we took a chance on his picture. Something we rarely do - but for us it was that look on his face - pure panic !
Champ which was his name at the time had run out of chances. He had already been in 2 inner city shelters and we were concerned that he would not make it out.

The road for him to find forever was long and disappointing for us at times but worth every bit of time and money spent.

There are a lot of very special dogs who are waiting for their chance in our NJ shelters and although it’s not talked about much - they will likely not got one.

We ask that you consider stepping up and taking a chance and help out a NJ shelter dog by fostering or adopting one. We can absolutely guarantee that it will change your life❤️❤️

Chance changed ours ❤️❤️

Penny likes nothing more than a leash walk and a roll around in the leaves. She is very active and gets around with ease - 3 legs work just as well for this sweet girl.

Penny is likely around 5 years old and only about 9 pounds. She loves everyone she meets and is great with other dogs. No cats for her though - this little rat terrier is a bit obsessed with them .

Penny is house and crate trained and just loves to play with her toys.

If you would like to give Penny a home of her own - please fill out an adoption application out at njshpetrescue.org

When we started our rescue in 2018 we decided that the only way we could rescue was to follow a few simple rules which included - always being there for our dogs , always touching our dogs and always being a resource for them for the entirety of their lives❤️

In 2019 a sweet little coonhound named Bertie was found in a rural area of NC with unusual facial scarring - we brought him here to NJ and took care of all of his needs - a month later Duke was found with the same scarring. It was obvious they came from the same place. We have a rule that we live by - we never leave anyone behind - so we went back for Duke.

Duke was adopted and lived with his family for 2 years until their life changed. Another rule we live by is we ALWAYS take our dogs back. Duke came back to us in 2021 and has been with us ever since. He lived in foster for a year of that time and did very well with some rules in place , but for most of that time he has been with us in boarding.

That’s when another of our rules kicked in - we believe that our dogs have to be touched by us every single day.

The rules we live by most certainly make everything we do much harder but the love and devotion we feel for our dogs and cats will never change❤️❤️

We know that someone will come for Duke one day because he is spectacular but until they do we thank our team for making our dogs a part of their family❤️❤️
