EMBER
It’s not all that often we have a cat friendly adoptable adult, but Ember is just that!! This sweet 5 yr. old Mama actually prefers to live with cats rather than dogs! So, if you’re a cat person that's looking to add a dog to your life, look no further! Ember’s your girl.
She is a very balanced dog who enjoys walks and playtime just as much as vegging out on the couch or napping with her human. She is housebroken and crate trained. She is so well behaved that she has free roam of the house when her foster family is not home.
Here is what her foster family has to say: “Ember is the sweetest most affectionate love bug ever! She loves to be by your side day and night and cuddle on the couch for hours. She knows sit and gives paw, she plays fetch so well and loves playing with her toys! Ember will greet you with the warmest hello even if you’re only gone for a few minutes.”
She’s a bit timid when first meeting new people but has been continuously improving as her foster mom socializes her more and more. She’s been great with the older child in her foster home. Ember prefers a quiet household without small children.
NICKI
We recently received an urgent plea from one of our partners asking if we could help.
They are teeny tiny little mice that likely will not be over 25 pounds. Perhaps a pit chihuahua mix?? We are now accepting adoption applications to pre-approve.
They must go to homes with other dogs that they can learn from and grow with. If you’re interested in adopting, apply today!!
SIMON
Our adorable micro-Boston Terriers are finally ready to find forever homes and families of their own.
They are the absolute sweetest little guys who have overcome so much in their short lives already. They were found abandoned outside of our local inner-city pound in the cold at just 8 weeks old!
Now at about 6 months old they are ready to leave their incredible fosters home and go into forever homes of their own. Both boys are crate trained and love all people, kids and other dogs. They are mostly housebroken but do use wee-wee pads if they are alone for long hrs. at a time.
Both Simon and Theodore do have some special needs and are looking for a home that is able to continue their care. They both have cleft palates and need to be monitored while eating and both also drink from a water bottle (like a rabbit) so they do not aspirate.
If interested in adopting Simon, please complete an application today!
KEL
We received a message from a Good Samaritan asking for our help. A witness reported that Kel was tossed out of a vehicle in trash bags in Totowa.
Kel was admitted to Oradell severely dehydrated with a distended abdomen. He also had wounds on his head and ears. Since being admitted he has had (daily) bloodwork rechecks, several rounds of X-rays, and has been parvo tested. X-rays revealed that there were metal fragments in his stomach.
After 2 days of supportive care and repeat X-rays, the fragments weren’t passing on their own and they needed to go in and do a scope retrieval. Turns out it was an electric toothbrush.
After 5 days at the emergency hospital, he is FINALLY resting and recovering in a short-term foster home. We would love a long-term foster, foster to adopt or adoptive home for Kel.
Ideally, he would do best in a home without other dogs or small children. Where can quietly and safely rest and recover.
If interested in fostering or Kel, please apply TODAY

KIP
Kip is an incredibly sweet 9-year-old pittie in search of his forever family.
Unfortunately, he was surrendered when his family had a change of circumstances that he could not be a part of it breaks our hearts when older pups are surrendered and have to start over after only knowing one family their whole life. We hope that the silver lining for Kip is that he will find a forever family to spend his golden years with!
Kip weighs about 75 pounds and he is as easy as they come! He is house trained, and crate trained. He is a relaxed couch potato who will thrive in a calm household. He is friendly towards people and strangers. He does not interact well with dogs up close but is okay with dogs from a distance. He is good with children, but younger children should be respectful of him. He needs only a home to rest his head, an occasional walk, and occasional play session and so is low maintenance.
Apply today if you are interested in giving this amazing senior his forever home and family!
SADIE
Please join us in welcoming adoptable Sadie to Jersey Pits Rescue.
One of our local shelter partners recently put out plea that they are full and out of space. Thankfully we had an incredible foster home open that stepped right up to help.
Sadie is perfect. She’s about 4-5 years old and weighs about 60 pounds. She LOVES people, other dogs big and small, kids, and seems to even be ok with cats. She is house trained, walks nicely on leash, and doesn’t mind being left alone at home. She is a super chill girl so she would probably do best in a low energy home with low energy people and pets.
Here is what her awesome foster mama has to say: “Sadie- the most perfect roommate and instadog ever. Sadie loves to snuggle and gets lots of beauty rest. She is the perfect housemate as she is quiet, calm and fully house trained. She is fine when left alone out of the crate. Does not appear to be a fan of the crate which is totally fine as she does not need it. She is nonreactive to squirrels, cats, or other dogs. She is content by herself but obviously prefers someone to cuddle with. Fully potty trained. Walks well on a leash and does not pull at all. She would rather snuggle on the couch than go for a hike, but will go for the hike if need be. Loves belly rubs and very food motivated. Knows basic commands. Seems to get along with all humans, big or small. Overall, the perfect girl. “
Please apply today to add beautiful Sadie to your family!
