Story

Waldo is new to the shelter, picked up as a stray. We are still getting to know him but he seems to know some basic commands and can be a little jumpy for treats. He is hoping his shelter stay is brief and that a new forever family will adopt him soon! All Perth Amboy Animal Shelter residents will be fully vaccinated, spayed/neutered and microchipped prior to adoption. You must be 23 or older to adopt from the shelter, complete an Adoption Application and pay the associated adoption fee. The application must be approved by the shelter staff and all adoptions are finalized based on the best interests of our animals. Come visit us Monday - Friday between 10am and 4pm and Saturday/Sunday from 10am - 3pm. Contact us at (732) 324-3877 and don't forget to ask about our Foster Program!August 11, 2026, 6:45 am

Story

Koko17 weeks • ~21 lbsFully vetted & microchippedFostered in Royston, GAAvailable in GA (and will be available in our northern territories if/when a northern foster opens)Apply at: houndsinpounds.org Koko is a petite brindle baby with a heart that shines brighter than the sun . At just 17 weeks old, he’s already a little miracle — we saved him after he was hit by a train, and even though he lost a leg and his tail, he never lost his joy. This tiny tripod is brave, bright, and bursting with personality. He’s smart, snuggly, and an absolute treat. Koko melts into your arms like he was made for cuddles, and he trots around on three legs with the confidence of a dog twice his size. His whole body wiggles when he’s excited (which is… always), and he loves being part of whatever you’re doing. He’s petite, adorable, and his brindle coat makes him look like a tiny tiger cub. Koko is wonderful with dogs, cats, and kids — gentle, social, and happy to make friends with everyone he meets. He’s curious, eager to learn, and ready to soak up every ounce of the good life. He’s young, resilient, and so ready for his happilyeverafter. Whoever adopts this tiny brindle hero is getting a onceinalifetime kind of dog. ##2814051##
