Bambi is a dapper sweater wearing boy!

Bambi is a sweet, laid-back boy about 6 years old who is loving the good life after leaving the shelter for foster. 😎 He’s a total velcro dog who happily naps the day away but always wants to be near his people. Bambi is friendly with dogs and would likely do well as a family dog with respectful kiddos.

He’s fully house and crate trained, sleeps quietly through the night, and loves his enrichment toys. 😋 Mealtime is his favorite part of the day—he already knows “sit” and “paw,” and chicken is definitely the way to his heart! 🍗

Bambi enjoys leisurely walks full of sniffing and exploring and prefers a relaxed pace. He does great with staff and groomers and, with consistency and guidance, will continue to blossom into an amazing companion. 🥰

‼️ Bambi is in foster care- to meet him please submit an adoption application and we will contact you to schedule!

Beau was once found tied to a pole… look at him now 🥹💙

This 4-year-old, 80lb pit-o-potamus has completely embraced the good life of foster care and is pure couch-snoozing perfection. 😴 Beau is house-trained, obedient, and an absolute gentleman in the home. He sleeps through the night in his crate without a peep — and even seeks it out after his evening walks. He loves head scratches, but will politely tap you with his paw when it’s time to switch to belly rubs instead 🐾

Beau is feeling more comfortable and curious every day, but still listens well and responds to “no.” He’s affectionate, cuddly, and would make a perfect companion for someone looking for a loyal, loving best friend who’s happy to share the couch and your heart ❤️

🚨 To meet Beau, please first complete an adoption application, then our team will contact you for a meet!

🚨 We don’t say this often, but Bodhi needs a lifeline. 🚨

Bodhi was saved after being ruthlessly hit by a car and left behind in a hit-and-run. 💔 When he arrived at the shelter, his tail was literally hanging on by a thread, and he had a clear tire mark and deep laceration across his back. Somehow, he survived — and he fought his way through recovery. 🩹🐾

Physically, Bodhi has healed beautifully. ✨

But mentally, the shelter has broken him. 😞

In just a short time, the stress and constant noise of the kennels have taken a devastating toll on his spirit. The anxiety is overwhelming him, and he is not coping. He needs out — into a foster home, adopter, or rescue — and he needs it fast. ⏰🙏

Bodhi is young, lively, and incredibly sweet. 🐶❤️ He loves people and wants connection so badly. From what we’ve seen, he should be the only dog in the home. A home with older kids/teens could be a possibility depending on age and experience.

This dog has already survived the unthinkable. Please don’t let his story end in a kennel. 💔

If you are seeing this post, Kratos is available! 💕

5-year-old Kratos is an absolutely incredible dog! This HUGE Doberman is well over 100 lbs and somehow manages to be both powerful and gentle at the same time. He’s sweet, affectionate, treat-motivated, and wonderful with people.

Kratos was adopted in 2024 and recently returned when his family could no longer care for him. Despite his size, he’s a very good boy with great manners and a loving personality. 🥰 He may have potential with other dogs based on what we’ve seen at the shelter, but was returned due to difficulties with the other pets in the home. Due to his size, we’re unsure about young kids.

We don’t expect this amazing boy to be here long and would love to see a Doberman-experienced family come meet him in person at our shelter AHS Newark, NJ 📍 We are open daily from 12-5pm.

Dylan is the kind of dog who gives you the best of both worlds — playful and fun, but also sweet and loving. 🥰

Dylan just hit foster care! 🙌🏻 2.5 year old Dylan enjoys his chew toys and playtime, but has great manners and doesn’t chew on anything he shouldn’t. He’s comfortable being handled, shares toys and food without any issues, and even does great for bath time. 🛁
Dylan is also a quiet, easygoing guy- he’s not a big barker, even when crated with company over. A happy, gentle, well-behaved pup who’s ready to be someone’s best friend.

‼️ Dylan is in foster care and available to meet with an appointment! Please first submit an adoption application!

🐶 Bella is in foster and available to adopt 🏡

✨ Bella’s fosters are amazed by this perfect girl! Bella is settling in really well! She’s housetrained and sleeps comfortably in her very own room (what an upgrade!). Bella is relaxing and growing more confident by the day, even opening up with her very first zoomie session!

🧠 Bella already knows several commands like “sit, down & paw.” This smart cookie is great at showing off! Bella loves your love and attention but does well when her fosters leave her at home—no crying or separation anxiety that they’ve experienced.

💖 Overall Bella is so sweet, well behaved, and super affectionate. She is so loving with snuggles, cuddles, and kisses. Bella is generous with sharing her love with everyone!

📋 Interested in meeting Bella? Please fill out an adoption application and we will contact you to schedule a date to meet her!

☀️ Cleo is soaking up everything foster life has to offer!

🥰 She’s a curious pup who loves to observe the world around her. She’s grown to trust and bond to her fosters quickly! Cleo is learning her potty training, enjoys chasing balls, and takes her squeaky toys very seriously- dismantling them is her specialty! 🧸

Her foster family says she’s sweet and gentle. Cleo has very little prey drive and great manners in the house. No destructive habits, no trouble making tendencies and she even knows the difference between her toys and their shoes- impressive! 🤩 We think Cleo would really enjoy having a canine friend in her future home, pending a meet! 😍 She’s a loving, playful pup ready to grow up with a family of her own.

‼️ To meet Cleo- please first complete an adoption application and we can contact you to schedule!

Diesel’s adoption report card! A’s all around!

💯 Diesel is a sweet, gentle boy who may be deaf, but adapts easily and responds well to hand signals and body language. He is fully housetrained, sleeps well in his crate, walks nicely on leash, and has a calm, low-energy personality. 👍🏻 5-6 year old Diesel loves cuddling, napping, and being close to his people, and will happily lounge on the couch or sleep in until you’re ready to start the day. 😴

🥰 Diesel is very affectionate and does well with people when introductions are calm and structured. Because he can’t hear, meeting him may look different than meeting a hearing dog, but he settles in quickly and just wants attention and snuggles. 😍 He’s a gentle boy who would do best as the only dog in the home, where he can enjoy a peaceful life and soak up all the love. 💗

‼️ Diesel is in foster care- if you want to meet him please first submit an adoption application here: https://ahscares.org/adopt/ &page=shelterluv_wrap_1753121389%2Fembed%2Fanimal%2FAHNJ-A-43739

🥰 Jax is a total lovebug in a handsome dog suit.

This easygoing guy is happiest snoozing on his bed, following you from room to room, or posted up at your feet making sure he doesn’t miss a thing. He’s a huge fan of face rubs, belly scratches, and will gladly roll over to request more. 💕

He walks like a dream on leash (and is weirdly proud of his harness), takes treats with total gentleman manners, is fully housebroken, and does great in his crate. Jax is confident, calm, and just an all-around good vibes kind of dog. 🤩

Based on his good behavior in the foster home older kids may definitely be in the cards. Mostly though, he’s just a sweet, affectionate shadow who’s ready to move in and steal your couch and your heart. 💜

Blue nose Staffy Bella has just entered foster care and is doing amazing! 🙌🏻

The fosters have said she's really fit in seamlessly! They report she's great in the car, loves resting in her bed and enjoys being spoiled. 🚗

Bella is in a foster home with 2 teens 13 and 18 and she's loving all the attention she gets from them. We'd say she's more suited to a home with older kids, it's where she feels most comfortable! Speaking of comfort, you can catch Bella snoring up a storm on her favorite new bed surrounded by toys. 🧸 This girl is living the foster dream! They also say she sleeps through the night in her crate too!

Bella loves playing fetch, getting her own personal full body massage from her older foster sister, and curling up by the fire for some well deserved Z's. 💤 Oh and don't forget that she's a professional kiss giver!

Bella is settling into the daily routine just fine, her family is working on leash training and say its coming along nicely! In the mornings she has the cutest zoomies coming out of her crate as if she's ready to greet the day with everything she's got! 🥰

Besides all this great info, Bella is spayed, prefers to be the only pet in the home, house broken per the fosters reports and is ready to curl up next to you in her forever home!

‼️ Get ready to meet Bella! To do so, please first submit an adoption application and we will contact you to schedule a meet!
