Dogs for Adoption in Matawan, NJ: 20 Dogs Looking for a Home

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!

V is great with other dogs, especially older dogs who don't mind her puppy antics, and she'd also be perfectly happy as your one and only. She is affectionate with everyone she meets and has a sweet, feisty, goofy personality that makes her a really fun puppy to have around.

V has picked up an important foster brother habit --hoarding things in her crate. Socks, shoes, muddy stuffies -- if it fits, it goes in. Apparently a puppy needs a well-stocked collection of treasures!

V is spayed, microchipped and up to date on her vaccines. She is ready to find a family who will give her plenty of play time, plenty of love, continued training and a cozy place to nap when she's worn herself out.

Riley's foster family says she loves body contact and is happiest when she can be close to her humans. When not playing, Riley likes to watch her foster family through the windows when they're outside. She is a fun-loving puppy who is continuing to show more of her personality every day. Riley is spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccines. She would do well in a home where she can continue to get plenty of playtime, affection and opportunities to learn and grow.

Vader is quite honestly one of the most beautiful puppies I've ever seen. His jet black coat, bright white blaze, tan markings and piercing blue eyes make him impossible to overlook. People who meet him almost always comment on his eyes first.

As handsome as he is, it's his personality that really stands out. Vader is confident without being pushy, playful without being wild and affectionate without being demanding. He's happy to run and wrestle with the pack, but he is just as content relaxing beside you. He gets along exceptionally well with his siblings and adult dogs and he has a calm, easygoing temperament that makes him a pleasure to be around.

Watching him grow has been incredible. He began life as the smallest puppy in the litter but quickly caught up, eventually becoming the largest by the end of his first month. That determination combined with his gentle personality has mad him one of the favorites.

Finding Vader the right family won't be easy, not because he won't make an amazing companion, but because saying goodbye to him is going to be one of the hardest parts of raising this litter. He deserves a family that will love him every bit as much as we have.

Vader is up to date on age appropriate vaccines including rabies and will be neutered prior to adoption. If you are interested in meeting Vader, please contact paleozoic1@hotmail.com

Jelly is also a fiercely protective guy who takes his job very seriously. That loyalty is one of the best things about him, and it means he’ll thrive with the right person. He would do best in a calm, low-stimulation home where kids aren’t coming and going. A quieter household will help him feel confident and settled.

He is house trained, neutered and fully up to date on all vaccinations, so he’s ready to go home with you.

Jelly’s ideal home:

A patient, dedicated adopter who is committed to consistent training
A calm environment without frequent visitors or lots of kid traffic
Someone who understands guardian breeds and respects his protective nature
A person ready to put in the time to help him become his best self

If you have the patience, structure, and love to give a loyal, goofy, couch-loving boy the guidance he needs, Jelly will give you a devoted best friend in return.

Interested in meeting Jelly? Message us to set up an introduction at rbkelly84@gmail.com or call Rob at 732-720-9627 or Michael at 908-601-4349.

Susie came to us scared and skinny not knowing how to be a dog. What she did come with was the sweetest disposition we’ve ever seen in a dog; pure love and joy. With time, patience and a lot of love from her foster family and the resident dogs, Susie is learning to trust and has blossomed into an amazing dog. Susie truly smiles when she is happy and does her squishy face when she wants to get close to you and get some pets. She has made leaps and bounds in learning how to be a dog. Susie is good with other dogs although personal space is not her thing so older/senior dogs who don’t like her puppy energy may not enjoy her company. She is good with kids but older children may be best since fast movements tend to scare her. We feel Susie is ready to find her forever family and make them as happy as she makes her foster family.

Susie likes:

Playing with dog toys (and your shoes should you leave them near where the toys are )
Cheese – she knows the morning lunch making routine and is often first there to get her cheese tax
Other dogs – she loves to play and run in the yard with other dogs. She takes her cues from them still as she still has some confidence to build
Kids – older kids preferred as quick movements make her nervous
Her crate – Susie’s crate is her safe place and her preferred place to be if there is a lot of noise or a lot of people to be around. She goes in and sleeps through the night and prefers it over even the couch most days
Looking out windows to see who else is walking by

Susie’s has a few requirements for her adoption.

A fully fenced 6 foot or higher decent size yard where she can play and run. This girl can jump! She does not like the leash so running and playing in the yard are her main source of exercise and enjoyment
At least one other dog who likes to play and will be willing to engage with her
Someone who is willing to keep a crate available to her for as long as she wants which may be forever
Someone who has patience to continue to work with her and help her be the best dog yet

If Susie, sounds like your girl, please put in application in and someone will reach out.

****Please note: Susie came to us with documentation of her name as Shiobhan. But that is a big name for a dog and her foster family felt Susie was a much better fit.
