If you are seriously interested in adopting one of us in particular, please fill out an application early Friday so that we can be sure to be there. Otherwise we decide based on other variables.

5. Luna

Puppy (3 months 28 days) · Female · German Shepherd Dog / Mixed (short coat) · 22 mi from Perth Amboy

Meet Luna -

Every little Luna needs her sunshine… and maybe a doggy best friend

!

Luna is a sweet little girl who just needs a little help finding her confidence! At around 4 months old, she's still figuring out this big world, and while she can be shy when meeting new people, there's something that really brings her out of her shell… OTHER DOGS! ❤️

Read more about Luna

Luna absolutely adores her canine friends. When she was initially on her own, she was nervous and a bit unsure of herself. But once she had a doggy companion by her side, her personality started to shine! We think Luna would really benefit from having another friendly, confident dog in her forever home to help her continue blossoming.

And don't let her puppy age fool you! Luna is a pretty easygoing little girl. She's happy entertaining herself, loves a good bone, enjoys playing fetch, and doesn't make a peep in her crate. She's learning to walk nicely on a leash and is making great progress with both crate training and potty training.

Luna is looking for a patient, loving family who will give her time to settle in, build her confidence, and discover just how wonderful life can be. A home with another friendly dog would be ideal for this little girl!

Luna has received two vaccines and her rabies vaccine and is waiting with our shelter partner in North Carolina for a foster or adopter to help her make her way to New Jersey.

Could your home be the place where Luna finally feels right at home?

Luna is up to date on vaccines and has been treated for puppy parasites. Wag On Inn will arrange for spay and microchip at 5-6 months of age at The Spay and Neuter Center of New Jersey in Holmdel. Adopters must live within driving distance of Holmdel, NJ. Her adoption fee is $600.

Adopting a dog is a commitment that will require annual veterinary care at a minimum, training, exercise, enrichment, etc. Pet care is not cheap or easy and adopters should consider the costs, time and training prior to adoption. After all these dogs have been through they deserve a loving, committed home.

About Sasha:Meet Sasha, a brave little 4-to-5-month-old Puerto Rican Sato with a heart full of hope!
Sasha started her life facing incredible hardships on the streets of Puerto Rico alongside her sweet brother, Sam. As part of a litter of nine vulnerable street pups born to a homeless mother, he had to be a true four-legged warrior from day one. She survived harsh weather, fleas, and the daily uncertainty of street life without a safe place to lay his head.

He may have a small body, but at just a few months old, she has giant dreams of finding a perfect forever home. This resilient, intelligent, and deeply loving girl is ready to bring endless affection and puppy kisses to a family of his own.

Adopting a puppy in Perth Amboy

Puppies usually go to their new homes from about eight weeks old, once they're weaned and have had their first vaccinations. Most rescues spay or neuter them before adoption, or include it in the fee.

Ask the rescue how big the puppy is expected to grow and which breeds they think are in the mix, so you can plan for the dog they'll become.

Puppies need a lot of your time: house-training, a few minutes of training every day, several small meals, and someone home often enough to let them out. A puppy class is a good way to start.
