She is in foster with two large breed dogs currently. She loves to run around. She has some energy and would be great with an active family or with a fenced in yard. She likes to play with toys or chew on her bone. She has a goofy, happy go lucky personality. She would do great with a home with strong owners.

Story
Nova is a spayed female dog who is up to date on vaccines and was rescued at around 12 weeks old from the Westchester ASPCA. She is around 1.5 years old, with an assumed birthdate at the end of February. She is very loving and affectionate. But has high energy and needs a home where she will get plenty of attention. She is currently in a home with a 10&7 year old, however, because of her high energy, she likely should not be in a home with children. She has no aggression issues when it comes to food, or toys. If you are an adult household looking for a forever best friend, please think of adopting Nova as our family just is not a good fit for her.

Skye

Shepherd (Unknown Type)

Female, 5 yrs 1 mo
Englewood, NJ
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Skye is an awesome shepherd mix who arrived at the shelter late November 2024 from a neglectful situation. Despite her history, her sleek black coat is gleaming. And she has cute tan paws. This beautiful, athletic girl is going to be a fantastic companion for some lucky family. She loves people! She's highly intelligent and playful! We think she'll do great with both adults and older kids. She hasn't been at the shelter long enough for us to know if she likes other dogs and cats. Skye is 5 years old and currently underweight. We're trying to fatten her up just enough to keep her healthy. She loves to run and play and to give and get affection. She is smart and quick to learn. Walking, jogging, hiking, playing ball . . . do you need a buddy to keep you company while enjoying activities like these? Then you can curl up together and take it easy. Skye will do well with a single person or a family ready to give her love, exercise, and consistency. A fenced-in yard would be great, but she'll do alright with plenty of leash walks. Skye is up to date on vaccines and soon to be spayed. She's ready to go home, and we can't wait for you to come and meet her. Interested in adopting Skye? Please email Start II at start2nj@yahoo.com.

Story
Hi!! I'm Cedar, and all I want from life is to play ball and cuddle my humans. I play hard and I love hard, and I'm whip smart to boot! I love going on car rides, especially if they end in a hike, and I'm eager to please, especially when there is a treat at the end of it. Cedar is a 5 year old mix, and has been with me since he was 8 weeks old. He is good with kids and great with dogs once he gets to know them. He is high energy and needs plenty of exercise, and he can't possibly play enough ball in his lifetime. He's very smart and knows lots of commands, and learns new things very quickly! He's fiercely loyal to his humans, and has a heart full of love to give. Anytime he isn't playing he can be found in my lap or cuddled next to me on the couch. And be prepared to be woken up with aggressive kissing in the morning! Unfortunately my husband lost his job and I'm in school and can no longer afford Cedar's care. It breaks my heart to post him here but I can't let him starve.
