12. Hope
Senior (7 years 1 month) · Female · Bullmastiff (short coat) · 14 mi from South Bound Brook






SHE’S READY FOR A WHOLE LOT OF LOVE — ARE YOU?
Meet Hope, our beautiful Bullmastiff who is fully vetted and ready for her forever family.
If personality came in extra-large, Hope would have plenty to spare. She’s funny, affectionate, easygoing, and has just enough Bullmastiff stubbornness to keep you smiling.
Despite her size, Hope is very easy to manage both on and off leash and is respectful of the things around her. She’s completely house-trained, rarely barks (although she's very alert to her surroundings), grew up around kids, and is currently living in a foster home with two other dogs and doing well.
Read more about Hope
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?

Please meet Millie — and trust us, this beautiful girl is impossible not to love!
At just about 10 months old, Millie is already a stunning 75-pound American Bully/Akita mix with the sweetest smile and a personality that shines. She is confident, fun, affectionate, and has that special “everyone is my friend” kind of energy.
Read more about Millie
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.

Read more about Roscoe

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.

One thing is for sure, Klara always has a smile. No matter how many pictures she took, she was always happy and playful.

She arrived at Bergen County Shelter prior to coming to Sedona Shepherd, where she’s shown our volunteers what an incredible dog she truly is.
Read more about Klara
Klara has a good balance of playfulness and affection, making her an easy dog to fall in love with. She loves to play ball, enjoys cuddling, and is eager to learn. She’s highly trainable and responds well to positive reinforcement. Her puppy mouthiness has all but disappeared, and with continued basic obedience training, she’ll only continue to gain confidence in new environments.
One of Klara’s most endearing qualities is that she’s on the smaller side for a German Shepherd, making her an excellent fit for someone looking for all the loyalty and intelligence of the breed in a more compact package. Her medium energy level, playful spirit, affectionate nature, and willingness to work with her person will truly make her standout.

V is a lab/hound mix believed to have been born in early May 2026, and she is one fun little puppy!
V is equal parts play and napping. She'll happily romp around, play tug, boss her foster siblings around a little, and then find somewhere -- literally anywhere -- to curl up for a nap. V's energetic, and playful, but just as happy to settle in for some cuddles and puppy kisses.

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.

Adopting a dog in South Bound Brook
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.
Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.
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.
