Hope loves her walks, but she’s a lower-energy girl who doesn’t need miles of exercise and prefers walking when it is cooler outside and always enjoys having a sip of water now and then. She’s equally happy playing with you or spending the afternoon snoozing on a pillow or dog bed. On a beautiful day, give her a sunny patch of grass where she can stretch out with the cool grass against her belly and Hope is in heaven.

She also loves being very close to her people often laying right at your feet. Stop petting her too soon and you may get a good nudge reminding you that your job isn’t finished. Put a baby gate between Hope and you and she’ll make it known that she’d prefer full access, thank you very much. Once she gets her way, she’ll happily settle down beside you.

Hope is particular about a few other things, too. A walk is for walking and keeping tabs on her local territory. Bathroom business is a private backyard affair only, and Hope takes selecting the perfect spot very seriously. A fenced in back yard for her to roam and do her business is very important for a successful adoption. She does not use walks for going potty, no matter how much encouragement or distance is provided.

And then there are apples. Start cutting one and Hope will hear it from across the house and come running for her share.

Hope is loyal, loving, wonderfully laid-back, and genuinely easy to have around. She doesn’t ask for much: a comfy bed, a nice walk, some sunshine, plenty of affection, and a family to call her own.

It’s part affection, part Bullmastiff stubbornness, and 100% Hope.

Could Hope be the easygoing companion you’ve been looking for?

Millie came to us from a local shelter, and we can’t help but wonder what happened that landed this amazing girl there. She seems a little confused about why she lost her home, but she hasn’t lost her ability to love. ❤️ She’s ready to turn the page and find the family who will see what we see — a wonderful dog with so much potential.

This big girl is looking for a family who understands that great dogs need guidance, exercise, and continued training. Millie is young, strong, and full of life, so she’ll thrive with an active family ready to help her become the best version of herself. A home with older children would be the best fit.

Millie has been enjoying pack walks and has been completely unfazed by the other dogs around her. We’re still learning about her dog and cat compatibility, but we’re pretty sure we caught her sneaking a quick “hello kiss” through her kennel door to our resident hunk, Roscoe.

If you’ve been waiting for a big, beautiful, loyal companion with a goofy smile and a heart to match her size… Millie may be your girl.

Let’s help Millie find the forever home she has been waiting for.

This loyal, loving boy is happiest when he's out on a walk or exploring the woods on a hike with his favorite person. He also enjoys having his luxurious coat brushed and spending quiet time by your side. Roscoe is highly intelligent, knows his commands, and walks beautifully on a leash. Like so many German Shepherds, he forms a deep bond with his family and is devoted, protective, and eager to be your faithful companion.

Roscoe is so much more than another dog waiting in a kennel. He's a best friend, an adventure buddy, and a loving companion who's ready to share his heart with the family willing to give him a fresh start.

If you are interested in Roscoe, please go to bfdaaa.com to complete an application. ❤️

. Jody is a 2–3-year-old Doodle girl with the sweetest soul and the gentlest heart.

This lovely girl is still learning that the world is a safe and wonderful place. She’s making progress every day and would thrive with a patient family willing to help build her confidence and show her all of life’s adventures at her own pace. Jody absolutely loves going for walks, soaking up quiet moments, and curling up close with her people. She’s incredibly gentle and does beautifully with everyone she meets. Because she bonds deeply and will benefit from continued guidance and socialization, Jody would do best with a family who has the time to devote to her and include her in everyday life. Older children would be the best fit for her gentle and sensitive personality. If you’re looking for a sweet companion who will reward your patience with endless love and loyal snuggles, Jody may just be your perfect match. Jody is fully vetted and ready to go home. Please apply to adopt Jody at bfdaaa.com, and if your application is a possible match, a volunteer will get back to you shortly. No inquiries, please, without an adoption application.

Rosalyn is smart, affectionate and playful. The one thing we have learned is that she is fearful. If you follow us you know that we have had and still have many fearful dogs and we get them where they need to be. We never rush things! She will take a bit of time to settle in but once she trusts you,
she is yours. Her favorite volunteer walker can do anything to her!

Rosalyn will need a foster or forever home with someone who will not push and just wait, an extremely hard thing to do.A dog like her is indeed special and we hope to find a person that will see her for who she is and take her home. If you have any interest please reach out to njshpetrescue@gmail.com with questions.

John really is a big mush who loves his people, and dogs. He’s currently living with 3 other pups, one of which is his bestie for the restie. With leashed introductions he’s ready to play hard, or ignore other pups depending on their demeanors and agendas. John’s BIG emotions make him unsuitable for children, or cats. John loves being outside, basking in the sun with his people & pups, while enjoying a woof pupsicle, or Barkbox super chewer toy! He’s a fast learner who’s willing to be your ride or die through it all. Interested in adopting John? Fill out an application today!
