🚨💔 CRITICALLY FULL. WE ARE BEGGING FOR HELP. 💔🚨

Other than the hoarding case we dealt with four years ago, we have NEVER seen our little shelter this overwhelmed.

We are bursting at the seams. Foot traffic is incredibly low, adoptions have slowed, and the dogs just keep coming.

Our volunteers are walking 40 DOGS PER SHIFT, and our staff and volunteers are working double duty. This is simply NOT sustainable.

🐾 RESCUE PARTNERS — WE NEED YOU!

We know you’re overwhelmed too, and we appreciate you more than words can express. But we desperately need help from our existing partners AND new rescue partners.

We have dogs of ALL breeds, sizes, ages and personalities. They’re NOT all Pit Bulls, although we certainly need rescues willing to help our Pitties too!

We continually post dogs needing rescue, but there are MANY MORE. Even taking ONE DOG would make an enormous difference.

❤️ OUR COMMUNITY — PLEASE COME ADOPT THIS WEEKEND!

It’s going to be a beautiful weekend, and we have so many wonderful dogs waiting to meet you!

🐶 ALL ADOPTIONS JUST $60!
📍 615 Freemont Ave., Jackson, NJ
🕐 Open 1–4 PM

We’re off the beaten path, and we don’t get the foot traffic other shelters do. But behind our doors are incredible dogs who deserve loving homes.

PLEASE HELP US. Adopt. Rescue. SHARE.

Our staff and volunteers are giving everything they have, but we cannot do this alone.

💔 Our little shelter needs a lifeline. Even ONE dog makes a difference.

💔🐾 THEY DESERVED BETTER. ABANDONMENT IS NEVER THE ANSWER.

On Halloween night, these two beautiful dogs were abandoned, tied to a pole outside the former Associated Humane Societies shelter in Forked River, NJ — a facility that has been closed for quite some time.

They spent the night outside in the cold and darkness, frightened, hungry, confused, and completely vulnerable. 💔

I cannot begin to imagine how scared they must have been or how long they waited for someone to come back for them.

This is absolutely heartbreaking, and it should NEVER happen.

I understand that life can be incredibly difficult. People face financial hardship, housing instability, medical challenges, and circumstances we may know nothing about. Sometimes surrendering a beloved pet becomes an unavoidable decision.

And I have compassion for those situations. I truly do.

But having compassion for someone’s circumstances does NOT mean we have to excuse putting innocent animals in danger.

These dogs could have been injured, gotten loose, been struck by a vehicle, or worse.

There are other options. There are people willing to help. There are organizations that can provide guidance.

❤️ IF YOU ARE STRUGGLING TO CARE FOR YOUR PET, PLEASE REACH OUT BEFORE RESORTING TO ABANDONMENT.

🐾 Contact local animal shelters and rescue organizations about safe surrender or rehoming.

🐾 Reach out to community Facebook groups and trusted local networks for assistance finding foster care or a responsible new home.

🐾 Ask about pet food pantries, temporary assistance, and affordable veterinary resources.

🐾 Contact your local animal control department for guidance on appropriate placement options.

🐾 Most importantly, PLEASE ASK FOR HELP. You may be surprised how many compassionate people are willing to support you.

Not every organization has space or resources available immediately, but making those calls is a far safer first step than leaving an animal unattended.

There is NO shame in needing help. There is NO shame in responsibly surrendering an animal when you can no longer provide for them.

But abandoning defenseless animals and leaving their safety to chance is not the answer.

Thankfully, these two beautiful dogs were found and transferred to an appropriate sheltering facility where they can receive care. ❤️

My hope is that sharing their story will help prevent another animal from experiencing the same fear and abandonment.

Please share this post. You never know who may be struggling, who may need these resources, or whose pet could be saved because someone chose to help.

Let’s be a community that offers compassion to people facing hardship while ALWAYS advocating for the safety and welfare of innocent animals.

THEY DEPEND ON US. THEY TRUST US. THEY DESERVE BETTER. 🐾💔

I’m sorry, but this is absolutely heartbreaking and infuriating. 💔😡

I understand that people fall on difficult times, face financial hardships, and sometimes find themselves in desperate situations. I truly do. But regardless of the circumstances, there is absolutely NO excuse for tying two innocent dogs to a pole in the middle of the night, in the cold and darkness, outside a shelter that has been closed for quite some time.

These poor dogs could have gotten loose, been hit by a car, injured, or worse! Imagine how terrified and confused they must have been, wondering where their owners went.

You can have empathy for someone’s circumstances without justifying their actions. Those two things can coexist.

There are resources available. Make phone calls, contact rescues, reach out to shelters, post on local Facebook groups, ask for help! Give your community an opportunity to step up. There are compassionate people out there who may have been willing to foster, help find placement, or offer assistance.

I am not saying surrendering an animal is an easy decision. I’m sure for some people it’s absolutely devastating. But there is a RESPONSIBLE and HUMANE way to go about it, and abandoning two helpless animals overnight is NOT it.

Being in a desperate situation does not excuse putting innocent animals in danger.

These dogs depended on their humans to keep them safe, and instead they were left frightened, vulnerable, and alone.

We need to stop confusing compassion for someone’s struggles with excusing irresponsible and cruel behavior.

Thank God these beautiful dogs were found and are now somewhere safe. They deserved so much better. 💔🐾

Well, these two cuties were dumped outside our refuge on Halloween night. 💔

That means they spent the night outside in the cold, dark, hungry, and scared, with no idea what was happening or where they were.

We want to take this opportunity to remind everyone that our shelter is closed and has been closed for quite some time. If you are in a position where you can no longer care for your animal, PLEASE call us. We are here to help guide you through the surrender process and make sure your animal gets to the right place in the safest, most humane way possible.

We understand that people face difficult circumstances, and we are not here to shame or judge anyone who needs to surrender an animal. We can offer guidance and provide options for where your animal can go.

These two are no longer in our care, they were brought to the proper sheltering facility where they will be taken care of!

Having two dogs has definitely reminded me that some of the most expensive members of the family are the ones who don't have jobs, don't pay rent, and spend most of their day sleeping.

And somehow, they're living better than the rest of us.

We've got two mini Aussiedoodles, and I swear these dogs have absolutely no concept of how much money they cost.

They get their food, treats, grooming appointments, toys, and whatever else they need.

Meanwhile, I'm the one paying all the bills, and they're looking at me like I'm inconveniencing them when I ask them to move off the couch.

And then there's the vet.

You walk in thinking it's going to be a routine appointment, and suddenly you're discussing bloodwork, medications, and whether your dog needs some treatment you didn't even know existed.

By the time you get to the checkout counter, you're wondering if you accidentally agreed to pay for the veterinarian's next vacation.

And of course, you're going to pay it because you love your dogs.

Although I wouldn't mind if they showed a little appreciation by getting part-time jobs.
