🐾 Foster Spotlight: Meet Nelly! 🐾

Say hello to Nelly, a 4-year-old sweetheart who’s earned the title of “goodest girl” a hundred times over! This affectionate and gentle soul is looking for a forever family who will love her as much as she’ll love them—and trust us, her love is boundless!

From her foster mom:
💖 "Nelly loves belly scratches, snuggles, and will give you all her loving. She’s super affectionate and loves attention—you’ll find her by your side all day long. She even carries her 'babies' (stuffed toys) around with her and sleeps with them at night!"

🐾 Why Nelly is amazing:

Affectionate Companion: Nelly is a total cuddle bug who thrives on love and attention.
Kid-Friendly: She’s wonderful with kids (tested with ages 14, 9, and 7!) and is gentle and patient with them.
Outdoor Enthusiast: She loves being outside and going on walks, making her a great adventure buddy.
Well-Mannered: Nelly is housebroken, knows basic commands, and is crate-trained. She’s even a pro at bath time!
Learning to Trust: While she flinches a little when meeting new people, she warms up quickly and will shower you with kisses once she feels safe.
Nelly is ready to bring joy, love, and a whole lot of cuddles into the life of her forever family. Could that be you?

Interested in giving Nelly a home? Submit an application and email [email protected] to meet this wonderful girl!

Let’s help Nelly find the family she’s been dreaming of! 💕

🚨 DIAMOND ALERT! 🚨

Meet Diamond, the sweetest, most polite, and most loving pup you’ll ever meet!

This little bundle of perfection waited TWO weekends in a row (you heard that right, TWO weekends in a row), sitting like the best girl ever in the lobby, wagging her tail, and gently resting her head in every visitor’s lap—just hoping that her person would walk through the door. 🥺

Diamond is the definition of a good girl—polite, patient, and so full of love. She:
🐾 Stands right by your side, just happy to be near you
🐾 Takes treats so gently, like a true lady
🐾 Greets everyone with a wagging tail and an open heart
🐾 Just wants a home where she can be loved forever

We honestly don’t know how she hasn’t been scooped up yet! Someone, please stop in and meet Diamond—we promise you’ll fall in love instantly.

🐾 Rumba is Ready to Dance Into Your Heart! 🐾

Rumba has been waiting for almost two months now, and we just don’t understand why! This young, energetic pup is bursting with personality and is so ready to find his forever home.

Yes, Rumba has BIG puppy energy—but can you blame him? Sitting in a kennel all day isn’t exactly ideal for a playful, adventurous dog like him. He just needs a family that will let him stretch his legs, run, play, and learn some manners along the way. And in return? You’ll get an excited, loving, and loyal companion who will keep you on your toes and shower you with affection!

🏆 Rumba’s Strengths:
✔️ High-energy adventure buddy
✔️ Loyal and affectionate
✔️ Ready to learn with the right guidance
✔️ Will bring fun and excitement to your life

He might be overlooked in his kennel, but once you see Rumba in action, you’ll understand why he’s such a special dog. He just needs someone to give him a chance!

Come meet Rumba at SJRAS today—he’s ready to show off his moves and find his perfect dance partner for life!

🍬 Meet Skittles – The Ultimate Biscuit Baker & Cuddle Connoisseur! 🍬

Looking for a handsome, affectionate, and highly skilled biscuit maker to join your home? Meet Skittles, the 5-year-old pro kneader who’s ready to serve up fresh biscuits daily!

Skittles is a sweet, snuggly guy who takes his job as a professional biscuit maker very seriously. Unfortunately, the shelter isn’t the best place for him to perfect his craft—he needs a cozy home where he can knead, purr, and provide unlimited cuddles!

If you’re looking for a cat who will warm your lap, melt your heart, and make you fresh biscuits every day, Skittles is your guy! Come meet him at SJRAS and take home the sweetest treat of all—love!

🔥 MOVE OVER CHRIS HEMSWORTH… KONO IS HERE! 🔥

Ladies and gentlemen, feast your eyes on Kono, the 2-year-old blonde-haired, blue-eyed dreamboat who just might be the sexiest man alive—if People Magazine would just return our calls!

With his chiseled good looks, piercing blue eyes, and effortlessly cool demeanor, Kono could easily be:
🎤 The lead singer of a boy band (working title: Backstreet Barks 🎶)
📸 A Calvin Klein model (because yes, he wakes up looking this good)
🎬 The heartthrob in a rom-com (but instead of running through an airport for love, he zoomies across the yard)

Yet, somehow, this level of perfection found himself at the shelter through no fault of his own. Shocking, we know. But Kono isn’t letting it get to him—he’s just waiting for a loving home where he can be admired, adored, and properly doted on, like the star he is.

So, if you're into good looks, loyalty, and having a total stud by your side this Valentine’s Day, stop by the shelter and meet Kono. But fair warning—once you gaze into those icy blue eyes, you might just fall in love.

JENNY HAS BEEN ADOPTED!

🚨 Warning: Extreme Cuteness Ahead! Meet Jenny! 🚨

We have absolutely no idea how Jenny ended up at the shelter, and honestly? We’re starting to think maybe she lost her humans instead of the other way around! 🤔 Because who in their right mind would let go of this squishy, snuggly, underbite queen?!

Jenny is the total package:
✔️ Housebroken – no accidents, just perfection.
✔️ Dog-friendly – she’s getting along great with her foster siblings.
✔️ Velcro dog – if you need personal space, she is not your girl.
✔️ Devoted watchdog – your Amazon packages will never go unnoticed again.
✔️ Certified snuggle expert – scientifically proven to boost happiness levels.

She is gorgeous, goofy, and has the kind of underbite that could launch a thousand smiles. If you’re looking for a loyal, lovable, slightly clingy best friend, Jenny is your girl!

ARTEMIS HAS BEEN ADOPTED!!

💔 Artemis is Still Waiting… 💔

Artemis doesn’t understand why her future disappeared in an instant. She thought she had found her family—the one who would love her forever. She was ready to go home, tail wagging, heart full… but at the last minute, they changed their mind.

Now, she waits.

At just one year old, Artemis has already learned what heartbreak feels like. But she’s still holding on to hope. She still believes that out there, somewhere, is a family who won’t change their mind. Someone who will see her for the sweet, affectionate, love-filled pup that she is and know she belongs.

She loves with her whole heart—pressing her head against you, curling up by your side, offering gentle kisses as if to say, "I just want to be loved." She’s got that Big Puppy Energy, always ready to brighten someone’s world, if only they’d let her.

Please, don’t let her wait any longer. Come meet Artemis today at the South Jersey Regional Animal Shelter from 11 AM - 4 PM. Give her the home she’s been dreaming of—the one that won’t let her down.

She’s still waiting. But she shouldn’t have to wait much longer.
