❤️ MEET AMETHYST & STEVEN! ❤️
Meet Amethyst and Steven, an adorable brother-and-sister duo of Chiweenies who are about 1.5 years old!
These siblings were the result of an unexpected litter, and their owners did their best to keep the family together. Unfortunately, financial challenges and housing limitations made it clear that they needed a little help to ensure these pups could live their very best lives. ❤️
Sometimes, loving an animal means recognizing when you need help giving them the future they deserve. We’re happy to help Amethyst and Steven find their next chapters!

And they aren’t the only ones! Their siblings, Gunther and Pearl, will be joining the rescue soon, too!
Amethyst and Steven have been vetted and are ready to find loving families who will give them the security, happiness, and forever homes they deserve. ❤️
We would absolutely LOVE to see this duo adopted together, but they are not bonded and can be adopted separately. They will need patience, understanding, and plenty of socialization to help them build confidence and catch up on their social skills. With time, consistency, and love, we know they can blossom!
Could you be the missing piece of their story? Whether you have room in your heart for one or both, these sweet pups deserve a chance to shine!

Meet Linus Linus is a sweet, loyal boy who's looking for a special kind of home — one where he can truly relax, feel safe, and let his loving personality shine.This guy has had past experiences that left him wary of men, so he's searching for a female-only household where he can thrive, OR a home with an understanding male willing to gain his trust. Linus is thriving in his foster home - learning the act of doing nothing and going on walks -where he is a great boy on leash. He's house trained and crate trained. Once he trusts you, he's the most devoted companion you could ask for.Applicants must be over the age of 25 and a homeowner.

Adopting a dog in Gloucester County
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
