FOSTER NEEDED!! Callie is a very sweet 8 year old, 55 pound spayed female lab suffering from a severe skin allergy. As you can see in the pictures she is getting better.

Adopted together!! ChiChi, Bianca and Scar left the Shelter over the weekend with a lovely family! They now have a huge fenced in yard, mom and dad and a human sister! We are thrilled for the trio! Happy tails, you three! 🐶🐶🐶It was a pleasure caring for you! Be good! 🐾♥️

04/10/2024

UPDATE, October 30, 2024, ADOPTED!!! YAY!!

Scar, ChiChi and Bianca are still in need of a home! Sadly their owner can no longer care for them. They are so sweet! They are housebroken and walk so well on a leash! Look at the video and watch them cruise along with each other! They patiently wait whenever one needs to stop and while you clean up. They are not yappers. Three seems like a lot but they are little! 🤣 They dance and twirl with excitement while you leash them up! Please help us re-home this trio! (They must stay together.)

Meet big baby Buddy!
Buddy is an extremely affectionate hound/beagle mix. Would you look at those mix match ears! Buddy is anxious in new situations and can be shy around new people but is quick to warm up once he realizes that you have butt scratch’s to offer! He loves to use that great hound dog nose of his out in the yard.

Sadly Buddy is struggling at the shelter with the loud and high stress environment in the kennels Buddy is having a hard time enjoying the little time he get outside on his own. Despite best efforts of staff and volunteers Buddy just need to find a calm home where he can feel comfortable.

Buddy lived with children and could live with cats if given a slow introduction.

PLEASE SHARE and get Buddy out there so he can find a forever home. If you are interested in Buddy contact us with questions or fill out our application!

Meet Molly!
Molly is a big girl and she loves to chat! She is extremely affectionate and adores people despite how humans have failed her in the past. Molly came from a house with other dogs and cats that were all abandoned when the previous owners moved away. Miss Molly also was a Mama and did a great job raising her kittens. After all of that Molly decided she would prefer to be an only pet.

If you like our Molly girl, please reach out with questions, or fill out an application at the link below!

ChiChi, Scar and Bianca need a forever home together! These three little Jack Russell/Chihuahua mixes have found themselves in a heartbreaking situation. They were in a foster home for just about two weeks. However, it is now clear that their owner is too ill to care for them, so they are at the Shelter and need to be permanently rehomed. They are a sweet, well-behaved trio! Housebroken, quiet, good with other dogs, good with cats and kids. They are all good on a leash. They are not yappers. They bark when someone comes to the door but quickly recover. They bond quickly with new people. They each have their own special little personality. The home they had was quiet. It was the three of them and a single, elderly woman. They were well cared for and have vet records leading back several years.

ChiChi is a five-year-old male and weighs 17 pounds.
Scar is a ten-year-old male and weighs 14 pounds.
Bianca is a six-year-old female and weighs 14 pounds.

We will NOT separate them! Serious inquiries please contact the Shelter via email or phone for information on our adoption process. PHONE: 609-465-8923

Appointments will be made for approved applicants.

Meet the Stunning Zeke!
You will never see this dog without his signature smile! And just look at his gorgeous face, he has so much character! Zeke is a 2 year old Heeler mix. Zeke is athletic, affectionate, and intelligent. He would be a great match for a family that is active and outdoors-y. His old home told us that he loved car rides and was crate trained. With us he loves to get out in the yard, play, and to be loved on by his human friends! He would do best in a home with older children because of his energy level and would not do well with other pets.

Help us find Zeke the person that could give him his second chance! Share his post and get his handsome mug out there.

Meet our very own Princess Aurora!
Aurora is a 7 year old husky, but you would never guess her age if you saw this girl zooming around the yard! Aurora is very shy with new people and can take a bit to warm up. But if she knows you, you are her best friend in the world! She is so full of love and will lean in for pets and cuddles. The best way to bond with her is brushing. This girl loves to have her luscious fur pampered and brushed out.
Despite her being a husky she is not very vocal.

Just like any princess she is picky about who she associates with. She is very selective about what dogs she wants to be friends with.
She would not do well in a home with cats. And with how shy she is, a home with older children is best.

That is with us because she was not getting along with another dog in the house.

Meet Noodles,
Noodles was a feral cat that we stepped in to rescue when the people where he lived threatened to do something drastic to get rid of him. Coming into the shelter, after a life on the streets, was a frightening experience for him. But, with time Noodles learned that he could trust humans to be kind.
Now Noodles is a sweet and gentle kitty. He can still be nervous around humans that are too quick while reaching for him. But over all he is very well natured and wants to make friends.

If you want to find out more about Noodles or any other of our lovely cats please call us or email!

Tall blonde male looking for a little lady of his own! Cooper enjoys long walks and cuddles. He is a gentleman who will shake your hand. If he had thumbs he would pull out your chair for you at dinner, and he is an excellent listener.

Cooper is a BIG BOY who loves the lady’s. He is a Great Dane Shepherd cross, which is where he got his height and size from. Despite his size he has good leash skills and does not pull.
As you might imagine the kennels in the shelter are a tight squeeze for this guy, even in our biggest kennel. He would do best in a home with no children and as the only pet. As much as we all love Big Coop we want to see him go to a home that can give this lover boy the best life!
If your a woman looking for a big strong guy to make you feel safe, Cooper is your dog.

SHARE this post and help Cooper find the perfect match!

Meet big boy, Champ! Champ has had a hard few years, though you would never know by how outgoing and sweet he is!
After his owner passed away Champ didn't have anyone in the family that could take him. He ended up finding a home with a friend of the owner. Then when Champ developed diabetes he was surrendered to a kill shelter in PA at the age of 11. Luckily that shelter noticed that Champs chip was from us! We were happy to take Champ back and give him second chance at life.

The staff just loves the little guy (14 pounds)! He is so sweet, clean, polite with a good nature. He is front declawed and in good health. Champ deserves a great home. His diabetes is currently successfully being treated through his diet.
Champ does not like other cats, he tends to be a bully.

Help find Champ a home! Share this post and get more eyes on him. He would be a perfect cat for anyone that is looking for a companion. He loves human company and attention.

Fey is as whimsical as her name suggests. This beautiful girl is a spunky and playful cat that is a part of our barn cat program! Fey grew up with us in the shelter as one of the kittens that wasn’t lucky enough to find a home. As an adult cat she is having a hard time finding an indoor cat home because of her shy nature.

But, as you can see in the video, if she has something to hunt Fey is a confident huntress. Making her a great barn cat candidate!

Please help us in getting this cutie a home where she can have a fulfilling purpose and help to keep your home free of unwanted guests.
