Gunner enjoys riding in the car and going for walks! He likes to follow his nose so he pulls some with just a collar, but is quite manageable with a chest-leading harness. This guy does not like crates but that is not an issue because he is already house trained. Gunner is comfortable in a home and has no issues exploring all floors of the house, so steps are not a problem. He is a cuddly guy who enjoys a dog bed and the opportunity to cuddle with people on the couch,

Gunner was an only dog but has been friendly to other dogs in the shelter and foster home. He could go with or without a dog companion. We do not have information on Gunner and cats. We would recommend Gunner be in a home more on the quiet side since that's what he was used to (no little kiddos)

If you are interested in this adorable scruffy guy, pleases email us at AlmostHome4Dogs@yahoo.com.

Lola would love a deck or a back yard to lounge and run around. She would do fantastic as a younger sibling to an established dog or two. A dog pal in her forever home is a must since she is happiest in the company of other dogs.

His foster family laughs when Odie is in the kitchen and he stares out the window--they just aren't quite sure what is grabbing his attention! Odie is house-and crate-trained, micro-chipped, neutered, and up-to-date on all his vaccinations. He gets along with all the other dogs who live with his foster family--especially the other foster dog Danny who is a favorite playmate. Odie's bags are packed (yep--with an Eagles logo) and he is ready to settle in with a forever family who can't wait to spend fall with a new buddy.

Almost housebroken! He's about 90% there. You just need to pay attention to his signals. When he starts walking in circles, that's his way of saying, "Ummm, I need to go outside!"

Toy destroyer extraordinaire! If it squeaks, crinkles, or looks remotely fun, consider it a goner. Indestructible toys are definitely going to be your best investment with this guy!

Puppy zoomies included! He's still a youngster, so expect some silly antics and bursts of energy.

️ Crate trained! He knows how to settle in when it's time for a break.

❤️ Professional snuggler! And this is where Krypto really steals your heart. After all the zoomies, toy demolition, and puppy shenanigans, what he wants most is YOU. Human contact, cuddles, and being close to his people are his favorite things.

Krypto is still a puppy, so he'll need a family willing to continue working with him, provide plenty of playtime, and help him grow into the amazing adult dog we know he's going to be.

If you're looking for a best friend who will make you laugh, keep you entertained, and happily take over your couch (and probably your heart), Krypto might just be your guy!

Apply at: www.outcastrescue.com

He absolutely LOVES other dogs, so a canine companion would be a big bonus!

He's fully vaccinated, microchipped, on preventatives, and 4DX negative.

Newt might not be the kind of guy who immediately runs up to every stranger he meets, but give him a little patience, let him get to know you, and you just might find yourself with a tiny, scruffy shadow who wants nothing more than to be by your side.

He's got the beard, the ears, and the personality potential to be your next favorite little sidekick. All he's missing is YOU!

They have a little weight to lose, and they’re already well on their way!

They are now up to date on their vaccines.

Next week, both girls will be getting dentals so those senior teefers can be clean, healthy and shiny!

We know asking someone to adopt two senior dogs together is a big ask. We know their perfect family will need to have room in their home — and in their heart — for both of them.

But after everything these girls have been through, we truly believe their senior years should be spent side by side.

They've already lost the home they knew. We don't want them to lose each other, too.

If you have room in your heart and home for Suzie AND Blanca, we would love to hear from you.

As she has healed and gained strength, we've gotten to know the dog underneath all that suffering—and she is pretty incredible. We were actually surprised to discover that someone, at some point in her life, had taken the time to train Tofu. She knows her basic commands and wants to please.

Tofu has just finished a heat cycle and still has a little weight to gain before she can safely be spayed. Because of that, we are looking for a local foster-to-adopt home where she can continue to thrive while we get her to the finish line.

And when we say LOCAL, we mean it.

We are looking for a home within approximately one hour of our veterinary offices in PA or NJ so we can continue to monitor her progress and make sure she gets everything she needs.

What we've learned about Tofu:

She LOVES routine and does best when she knows what to expect.

About 2 years old

She knows her basic commands!

She can live with other low-energy dogs, with the proper introduction.

She will absolutely need a shutdown/decompression period when entering a new home. She has been through enough, and we don't want her coming into a new environment thinking she immediately runs the roost.

Her biggest downfall? Counter surfing.

But tell this girl "NO" and she gets it.

Tofu doesn't need someone to save her anymore.

She needs someone to finish the job.

Someone willing to give her the routine, patience, stability and love that will allow her to continue becoming the dog we always knew was hiding underneath the trauma.

She has fought incredibly hard to get here. Now we'd love nothing more than to watch her flourish in a home of her own.

If you think Tofu could be your girl, please visit

www.outcastrescue.com

and complete an application. Outcast Rescue's adoption process includes screening, veterinary/reference checks, a home visit and meet-and-greet.

This handsome guy is neutered, microchipped, 4DX negative, up to date on vaccines including Lepto, and on monthly preventatives. He is crate trained, walks nicely on leash, and recently completed a 3-week board and train with Gypsy 9 to help set him up for success in his forever home.

Picasso is a dog who absolutely adores his people. He is affectionate, clingy, and fully believes he is a 10-pound lap dog despite being built like a linebacker. Belly rubs, naps across your lap, and soaking up attention are his specialties. He also loves moose antlers and treat puzzles — especially anything durable because this boy is an aggressive chewer.

Now for Picasso’s perfect match:
• He must be the only pet in the home. While he initially had a good dog meet at the shelter, repeated attempts at introductions and training showed that Picasso truly prefers to fly solo.
• He has a sun sensitivity caused by years of sun exposure and his lack of pigmentation. He will need sunscreen and a sun shirt for outdoor adventures to prevent painful skin flare-ups.
• He is not a fan of squeaky toys or high-pitched sounds like smoke detectors or bike horns.

What Picasso offers in return is endless affection and unwavering loyalty. He deserves a home that wants HIM and only HIM — and trust us, he is more than enough dog to fill your heart.

Nala is a sweet little dumpling full of love who was slated for euthanasia at Trenton Animal Shelter before she was rescued. Now that she’s taken some time to decompress from the shelter, she’s ready to find a furever home where she can feel safe and put a difficult past behind her. Nala can take some time to trust new people, but once she bonds she’s as affectionate and as loyal as they come. She loves attention, and will gladly let you know when she needs some TLC, whether that’s by rolling over for belly rubs the moment you enter the room or sticking her big head in your lap and staring at you with her soulful eyes until you give her some scratches.

Once she’s settled in, Nala is happy to live a calm, quiet life. She likes a little excitement in her day, whether that’s playing with squeaky toys, chewing on a good stick, going for short walks, jumping in the car with you, or some occasional zoomies in the yard. But for most of her day she’s content just to lie down by your feet and know that she’s safe.

Nala has made a lot of progress improving her manners, and needs a home where she can continue to work on improving these skills. Fortunately, she’s a quick learner, very food-motivated, eager to please, and she even takes her treats very gently! She already knows sit, lie down, stay, come, touch, and paw, and she’s capable of learning much more.

Nala has had a lot of homes in her three years, and that’s left her with some separation anxiety. Once she’s bonded, she’ll follow her people from room to room like it’s her job, keeping an eye on you to make sure you’re safe. Fortunately, she clocks out in the evenings and will happily run straight to her crate when it’s time for bed. She’s gotten much better at being alone during the days, and if people are coming over and she needs to be out of the way she can stay by herself in another room with only the occa

Good at: Staying in a crate, Meeting people, Behaving in the house, Cuddling, Playing, Walking on a leash, Going for car rides

Ideal home: A fenced yard

Baby Girl is a total lovebug. She wants to be where you are but can also hang out in her crate alone. This girl was in an overcrowded shelter for over two months. ABR stepped in on the last day before she was put down because the shelter was out of space. She was so skinny and starved for attention but all that has changed now. She is gaining weight and loving her new home life.

Baby Girl plays well with toys and likes to play ball in the yard. She has a medium to high prey drive so a fenced yard is a must (we can’t have her sprinting off after a squirrel ). She is house trained but will get into things if left unsupervised (you would too if you had been a bag of bones not knowing when or if your next meal was coming). Fortunately, she is also crate trained so keeping her safe when we aren’t home is easy.

She would be great as an only dog but could also go with a laid back male.

Meet Shamrock, a 5-month-old Pit Terrier mix who decided his first big adventure should be an unexpected solo trip around the Maplesville area. Unfortunately, no one came looking for this handsome little guy. But Shamrock isn’t letting that keep him down! He has officially moved on to Plan B: find himself a forever family who thinks he’s pretty darn awesome. Now, we should probably mention that Shamrock can be a tiny bit unsure when something new comes his way. But honestly? This kid is a BRAVE little explorer! Give him a minute to investigate, sniff around, and decide that whatever looked scary two seconds ago is actually pretty interesting. And people? He LOVES them. He wants to be where the action is, see what everyone is doing, and soak up all the attention he can get. At just 5 months old, Shamrock is right in the middle of one of the most important learning stages of his life. He should be busy discovering the world, learning puppy manners, experiencing new things, and figuring out how amazing life can be, not spending his puppyhood behind kennel bars. This boy has SO much potential. He just needs someone willing to be his teacher, cheerleader, adventure buddy, and forever person. Shamrock may not have had the best luck so far… but maybe his luck is about to change! Will you be the one to change it? (9/13/26 Hope)

Devin is the life of her foster home, she keeps everyone happy, playful and busy. She is quiet, still a little fearful from her past life (stray in Philly) perfect with other dogs, loves car rides, walks, food, snacks, and life.
Devin
really needs a family to include her in their lives. She is young and doesn't love a crate. She isn't the dog who can stay home all day every day alone.

Felicia is such a sweet and kind soul! She has so much love to give, but she needs a special person to help her come out of her shell. We're not sure what happened in her past, but we know it wasn't good. She came in as a stray and was scared of everything—people moving too fast, loud noises, leashes, bowls clanking. She would shut down and shake in fear, trying her best to disappear. Felicia has been in a shelter for about a month and is finally learning to trust again. She now enjoys her time with people and loves being carried like a baby! She’s slowly learning how to walk on a leash... baby steps! She's gets along with other dogs she has met at the shelter, but she's super shy. Felicia would do best with a patient and understanding family who can help her build her confidence. Once this girl knows she's safe with you, she'll love you unconditionally!

Sinbad loves being outside. Playing fetch and Frisbee are some of his favorite activities, and he always enjoys going for walks. As he’s gotten older, he’s become even more affectionate. A true definition of a lap dog, he loves hard. He absolutely loves attention from his people and will happily roll onto his back for belly rubs and cuddles. He especially enjoys relaxing in bed with the adults in the house and simply being close to his family.

Sinbad has grown up with four children and, for many years, showed incredible patience as they played with him, hugged him, and climbed all over him. As he’s entered his senior years, however, he prefers a quieter lifestyle and has less tolerance for the constant activity that comes with a busy household of young children.

One thing that’s important to know about Sinbad is that he has always displayed some resource-guarding tendencies with high-value items like his balls, toys, and bones. Once he’s finished playing fetch and takes his ball to settle down, he prefers to be left alone with it. Because of this, he would do best with owners who understand canine body language and are willing to simply give him his space when he has something he considers valuable.

His present family has grown over the years, and with children now ages 2, 4, 9, and 11, his home has become much busier than it was when Sinbad was younger. While he still craves attention and affection, he no longer enjoys the constant hustle and bustle. Now, he deserves a quieter home where he can be the center of someone’s world again.

Sinbad would thrive in an adult-only home or one with older, dog-savvy children who understand and respect his boundaries. He would make a wonderful companion for a single person, couple, or retired family looking for a loyal, loving dog to share their days with. He has so much love to give and simply wants a peaceful home where he can enjoy walks, snuggles, belly rubs, and all the attention he deserves. (posted 4/5/26, RH)
