Tommy – The cool, collected companion you’ve been waiting for! 🐾

🥰Tommy is the definition of calm, cool, and collected. This 7-year-old gentleman found himself at the shelter after his owners moved and left him behind, but you’d never know it—he’s friendly, unfazed by life’s ups and downs, and taking it all in stride.😆

🐾Neutered and dog-friendly, Tommy previously lived with another pup, so a canine sibling could be a great fit. He also has experience with kids, meaning he just might be the perfect family companion. We’re still getting to know all of Tommy’s wonderful qualities, so stay tuned for updates—but don’t wait too long, because this laid-back sweetheart is ready to find his forever home! Meet Tommy at AHS Newark, NJ! 🖤🐶

Isla needs a recovery foster! ❤️🐾

🏥 This sweet 9-year-old girl had a big day—she was spayed and had mammary mass removal surgery, and it’s hitting her hard. She lost a lot of blood, and we’re worried about her recovering in a kennel. Isla needs a calm foster home for about two weeks where she can heal safely.

She’ll need to be kept away from other pets but is as gentle and loving as they come. Older, respectful kids are welcome! 🙏

Can you help Isla heal? Apply to foster here: ahscares.org/become-a-foster ❤️🐶

🚨 Help Stop the Puppy Mill Pipeline in NJ! 🐶🐾

AHS is leading a coalition to end the cruel puppy mill-to-pet store pipeline in NJ through priority legislation A.4051/S.2511. This bill would ban pet stores from selling puppies, kittens, and rabbits, stopping sham rescues from disguising puppy mill sales as “adoptions.” It protects animals, consumers, and promotes responsible pet adoption! 🐕🐈🐇

📢 We need your help! 📢
✉️ Email Senate President Scutari at [email protected] and urge him to advance S.2511
📞 Call his office at 732-827-7480 to voice your support!

With overwhelming backing from communities, humane businesses, and local officials, NJ can become the 9th state to pass this vital law! Let’s make it happen! 💙🐾
