Meet Beardy! This handsome fellow took the long trip up to our shelter from the South. He arrived shy and hesitant, but we are already seeing a different side of him. He’s a low energy guy, that will rest his head in your hands for a pet or two. But becomes a different dog when toys are around. His tail will wag, he’ll tug his rope - we can see he’s waiting for the perfect moment to just be himself! These small glimpses of what he’s really like are melting our hearts. We know he has a ton of potential. His ideal home would be a quiet one, with little traffic, so that he can adjust in peace. If you would like to meet Beardy please call us at 973 386 0590 and request a meet and greet.

We ensure all of the animals adopted through our shelter are vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed or neutered.

If you love animals but cannot adopt, sponsoring an animal in our care is a meaningful way to help support the good work we do. For as little as $20 per month, you can sponsor a shelter pet and help pay for the cost of their care while they stay at the shelter. Secure your sponsorship online at njshelter.org.
