The sad reality for a dog named Mako 😔 🐾
URGENT FOSTER OR RESCUE NEEDED
Here's what The Woodbridge Animal Shelter has to say about him.....
Mako was surrendered to the shelter a few short weeks ago.
His small body is boney and distended. He has pressure sores from being over crated, overgrown nails and yeasty spots throughout his petite frame.
All of these things aren't the worst things we've seen. In fact, sadly, it's the average condition animals are currently entering the shelter.
What is the worst is his level of anxiety. The heavy panting and the cries for help never end. This is just a 20 second video of the anxiety he suffers from ALL DAY LONG!
Yes, he gets out for playtime, companionship and walks but this is a shelter and the fact remains they the majority of his time is spent in his kennel. He is provided frozen treats to keep him distracted but that only helps for a few minutes.
MAKO NEEDS OUT OF THE SHELTER!
We can easily put meat on bones and heal wounds but his damage is the emotional kind.
This dog who longs to be with people is now panicked to the point we need to start medication.
Outside of his kennel you will find a 7 yr old Boxer/Pit mix who only wants to be near you. He's super sweet ❤️

Mako needs to be an only pet in his foster home with children over 12 yrs old.
PLEASE , if you can FOSTER, call the shelter immediately! This is a very urgent situation.

COME ON AVENEL, HELP ME FIND MY OWNER!
This poor boy is so sad and spends his day crying and pawing at the kennel. He was found days ago on Butler St in Avenel but his journey actually started on the opposite end of Crystal Ave.
It doesn't make sense that nobody is looking for him. He's very clean and well cared for.
Please share him in an attempt to find his owner.

LET'S FIND WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS HORRID ACT OF CRUELTY!
This female dog, estimated to be 2 yrs old, was found in a ditch under the turnpike bridge by Tices Lane and Elkins Rd in East Brunswick on 1/29 at approximately 9pm.
She should be 60 lbs, she weighs TWENTY NINE! 29 lbs!!!! Found laying helpless with a broken leg. Vets at the specialist hospital determined that, unfortunately, it does need to be amputated due to the extent of damage.
What have people become? This is scary that anyone could let a dog become so emaciated.
For the record, this dog was not cold when found nor were there indications that she had been there for any length of time.
ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THIS DOG SHOULD BE REPORTED TO HUMANE LAW ENFORCEMENT OF EAST BRUNSWICK NJ POLICE DEPT.
THIS DOG WILL NOW BE IN THE CARE OF HUSKY HOUSE and DONATIONS ARE BADLY NEEDED. HUSKY HOUSE TAKES IN AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF SPECIALTY MEDICAL CASES PER YEAR AND THEIR BILLS RUN INTO THE 10s OF THOUSANDS. PLEASE CONSIDER MAKING A DONATION TOWARD THIS GIRL'S CARE.

The shelter just doesn't feel like home to Jeffery. Can you help by fostering him?
UPDATE 1/17/23...Jeffery had a change of heart this morning and has decided he will tolerate the cat room but obviously he doesn't want to stay long. He attitude towards other cats has changed as well. He got picked on this morning and opted to ignore the unwanted behavior from Nyla. Sometimes it just takes time.
This is what The Woodbridge Animal Shelter has to say about him....
Jeffery came to us as a stray and we were just so sure his owner would come looking for him. Well, they didn't. Let's start by saying, he's adorable! He adjusted well to our incoming stray room, was very affectionate and showed off his playful side. Once he was neutered and cleared to go up for adoption things changed drastically. Jeffery was completely overwhelmed by the main cattery, which is not uncommon.
We are desperate to find Jeffery a pet free foster home where he can be his old self again. If you were ever on the fence about adopting but aren't sure you want to make the full commitment, fostering is a terrific opportunity for you and the animal you choose to help.
If you have a quiet, pet free home where Jeffery can decompress he would surely appreciate that help now.
Please give us a call or stop by to visit him. Staff will be happy to help you set Jeffery up for success!

SEEKING RESCUE OR FOREVER FOSTER HOME for Grayson and Snuggles.
Grayson (male, 14yrs) and Snuggles (female, 18 yrs) were surrendered to The Woodbridge Animal Shelter when their own was put into assisted living.
These cats are super sweet and they do not deserve to spend the final chapter of their lives in an animal shelter. The shelter is desperate to find them a home where they are surrounded with love, soft beds and sunny places to curl up in.
If you are a 501c3 rescue that would like to help this senior couple, please call the Woodbridge Animal Shelter 732 855 0600 x2034 or email at [email protected]
If you would like to open your heart and home to give these sweeties a forever foster home, please stop by The Woodbridge Animal Shelter to meet them. Fosters are provided with all supplies and medical care.
Thank you.
Adopt Petunia!
Here's what The Woodbridge Animal Shelter has to say about Petunia....
Petunia's unique beauty and perfect kennel behavior is what first caught our eye at a local overcrowded shelter. She wasn't getting many adopters looking at her so we thought that the change of venue might help and transferred her to our shelter. Honestly, we didn't think she'd last a week but here we are many months later and still nothing. HOW CAN THIS BE???
Petunia is a young adult who loves to play as much as she loves to cuddle. She's a favorite among our trainers and was a quick study, able to learn several new commands in less than 1 week. Check out her video showing off a little of what she knows! She's excitable upon first meeting but once that wears off she's eager to learn and is very focused on her handler.
Petunia is hit or miss with other dogs but we are open to meet and greets with male dogs.
Petunia is 3 yrs old, fully vaccinated, spayed and microchipped.
Did you know a great way to beat your dog's winter blues is to give them some indoor enrichment? A favorite at The Woodbridge Animal Shelter is the hide and find it game and a snuffle mat does the trick!
Watch the shelter's very beautiful and adoptable Petunia show you how it's done.
Holiday snuffle mats are available for purchase at The Woodbridge Animal Shelter during public hours.
Update- owner found.
Husky owners, your dogs have literally been crying NON STOP for you! Where are you??

Good Morning from sweet Georgia!
She's available for adoption at The Woodbridge Animal Shelter!
Link is a sage wizard...he knows he's going to find a home soon! His former owners report that he should be an only cat! Stop by the Woodbridge Shelter during public hours and meet Link and many other amazing cats in need of forever homes!
Can you believe Petunia aka Tunie is still looking for a home!
You won't find a happier face to greet! This girl with the best happy wiggle has waited too long. Petunia loves time spent in the yard playing with toys, enjoys walks, is housebroken and passed her temperament test like a lady. She enjoys being loved on as much as she does playing.
She is playful mouthy when over excited but is quickly redirected to more appropriate play so for this reason we are asking that her new home have children 12 or older. This behavior will likely stop once out of the shelter. She can have meet and greets with male dogs, cats are a no.
We think she's just terrific and hope someone out there feels the same!
Petunia is 2 yrs old and fully vetted.
Bear was removed from a hoarding situation and is a true LOVER! He is neutered and up to date on vaccinations, and can live with other friendly cats. He chirps and purrs with pure joy when he is being loved on. We don't have his age yet, but if you are looking for an adult cat that will be soooo appreciative of a new home he's your guy! Visit him tonight from 4-8.
Don't let these girls be forgotten about after all that work you put in!
Maya and her daughter Annie still need a home! While we typically never do sibling/sibling or parent/offspring adoptions, this is a special circumstance and we highly recommend these girls being adopted together for Annie's sake (btw, Maya is not bothered 1 bit by her) OR Annie will require a home with another dog. Annie cannot be adopted as an only dog.
These girls have gone thru the loss of an owner, being removed from their home and each other, scared and overwhelmed in a shelter, getting accustomed to new people and places and have come out WINNERS!
All that is missing now is a home to call their own.
Please visit Maya and Annie at The Woodbridge Animal Shelter!
Parker is ready to find his forever family! Outgoing and super sweet!
