Tiny is a very large mastiff that is estimated to be around 4 years old. While he displays resource guarding & barrier aggression in his kennel, Tiny has shown wonderful potential outside of that environment with the right handling and care.

He is treat motivated and knows the sit command. Outside of his kennel, Tiny shows loose body language and seeks affection. He does appear to be housebroken. Tiny was dog-tested and did well! He displayed appropriate sniffing, loose body language, and even pawed playfully.

We’re seeking rescue placement only at this time, preferably with experienced handlers who can work with him on his resource guarding tendencies.

If you can help give Tiny the second chance he deserves, please reach out to [email protected]!

Update: Snowflake went to rescue!

🚨 URGENT RESCUE NEEDED 🚨

Snowflake is in need of a safe and understanding home. He is estimated to be a little over 6 weeks old. Due to his rough start in life, Snowflake is terrified and struggling to trust people. He’s just a baby, but has already experienced more fear than any puppy should ever know.

We are seeking rescue placement that can work with Snowflake’s behavioral needs and help him feel safe and loved.

Snowflake has so much potential to blossom into a happy, confident pup with the right care and guidance. He needs someone who will see past his fear and give him the chance he deserves. Please email [email protected] if you can help.

UPDATE: These two girls have gone to rescue! Thank you Pebbles Purpose.

Holly & Lolly have been at the shelter since October 23rd. They are estimated to be 4 months old and have been struggling with persistent upper respiratory infections. Unfortunately, being in the shelter environment makes it harder for them to recover.

Lolly (tortoise) also has entropion which will need to be corrected with surgery. We are looking for rescue placement at this time, please email [email protected].

🚨 MEDICAL URGENT 🚨

Isabelle is a sweet and resilient 5 year old female who recently came into SJRAS as a stray. During her initial exam, it was noted that she has limited ability to open her jaw (approximately ½ inch). She also has visible soft tissue swelling in the right sublingual area and signs of a possible trauma or incongruity to the right mandible.

Isabelle was found to have no obvious pain during her exam, but is currently on an liquid diet due to barely being able to open her mouth. She needs more specialized care than we can provide at the shelter, so we are urgently seeking rescue placement only.

Please email [email protected] if you are able to help her out.

🚨 Medical Urgent 🚨

UPDATE: Zane is also available for approved foster placement at this time. He is timid & would do way better being out of the shelter environment while he heals.

Meet Zane, a sweet and nervous 9-month-old pup who desperately needs a second chance. Zane is currently facing some health challenges, including dry skin and open sores on his head and back, and he has tested positive for demodex mange. He’s been fully vaccinated, dewormed, treated with Bravecto, and tested negative for heartworm.

Zane is very scared and displays nervous urination and defecation. Despite his rough start, we believe Zane has so much potential to thrive in a safe, loving environment.

We are urgently seeking rescue placement only to help Zane heal, gain confidence, and begin his journey to a better life, Please email [email protected]!

We currently have several cats and kittens at the shelter dealing with ringworm who are in desperate need of rescue, foster, or adoption placement. Ringworm is a treatable skin condition, but the shelter environment is not ideal for their recovery. With our limited quarantine space, these cats would heal faster and thrive in a home setting.

✔️ Ringworm is not a worm, but a fungal infection that’s easily treatable with medications and time.
✔️ It can be managed safely with simple precautions.
✔️ These cats need isolation during treatment, but they are otherwise normal, loving pets who just want a second chance.

If you can help, please contact us at [email protected]!

We have a large amount of barn cats at SJRAS!

Some cats just aren’t cut out for traditional adoption, but that doesn’t mean they can’t thrive in the right environment. They’re not suited for life as cuddly lap pets, but they can be incredibly valuable as natural pest control in barns, workshops, or outdoor spaces.

The following cats cannot be returned to their original location, making them especially vulnerable. Due to their behavioral concerns, they face a higher risk of euthanasia unless we can find alternative placement for them.

These cats deserve a chance to live safely and comfortably, even if they’re not suited for traditional homes. We are currently looking for appropriate outdoor/barn or rescue placement for the cats pictured & more. If you have space for a barn cat or know someone who does, please reach out to [email protected].

🚨 URGENT BEHAVIORAL 🚨

Turtle is a 6-year-old bulldog who urgently needs rescue placement due to specific behavioral challenges and care requirements. He’s looking for an experienced handler who can provide him with the structure, support, and understanding he needs to truly thrive.

In the shelter, Turtle has displayed typical bully guarding behaviors, which have become increasingly difficult to manage in this environment. Turtle did not have a positive reaction during medical exams & attempted to snap. However, he has also had friendly interactions outside of his kennel with staff showing he could bond with the right person.

Based on our observations, Turtle would do best in a home with no other pets. However, he did come in with another bulldog and was very protective of her— exhibiting the potential to coexist with other dogs under the right circumstances.

Due to the urgency of his situation and behavioral concerns, we cannot guarantee a time hold on Turtle. We are seeking rescue placement ONLY. If you can help or have questions, please reach out to us at [email protected].

UPDATE: He went to rescue! Thank you Philly PAWS.

Ewok is estimated to be around 4 years old & came to the shelter in rough shape yesterday. He arrived dehydrated, matted— with a ruptured right eye. Ewok was also covered in ticks and flea dirt, but despite it all, he is nice and easy to handle.

He is currently on his stray hold, but we are urgently seeking rescue placement only for him as soon as his hold is up. Please email [email protected] if you are able to help.

Twizzler is a wonderful 5-year old male who is available for adoption or rescue placement. While he’s sweet and deserving of a loving home, the shelter environment has been tough on him, and he’s showing signs of kennel stress. Twizzler thrives outside of the shelter, where he can enjoy the love and attention he truly deserves.

We’re looking for an adopter or rescue placement that can provide Twizzler with a stable environment and a chance to decompress as he does have high energy levels.

He would do best with someone patient and understanding, ready to help him transition into his forever home. Please email [email protected] if you are interested!
