She's about 4 years old and this big, beautiful Boerboel arrived in July, 2023 after having a couple of unfit homes. Spice needed some time to put all of that behind her, and she needed help in learning how to trust again. She's a resilient girl though, and she does her best not to let things get her down. Unfortunately, it does get her down, being here for so long. When Spice comes out of the kennel with friends, she's a big, bubbly goofball! She bonds intently with her friends and, as mastiffs are, she's protective of those she's bonded with. It takes her a minute or two to get to know and trust you but once she does, she just about knocks you over with leaning against you to get all of your attention. Spice is well-behaved and has learned lots! She knows sit, stay, down, paw, and so much more. She's good on a leash and loves toys too! Spice has had lousy experiences with pets in the past so it's best if she goes to a home where she can be an only pet. That just means she'll love YOU all the more though. She hopes so much that you'll just give her a chance already. She'll love you forever if you do. Call 609-693-1900 or email: office@ahsppz.org for an application.

Lexi is a special girl. Unfortunately, she was part of a long-term case and has been at the shelter for 4 years that is 1,460 days! During her time with us we have grown to love Lexi and have learned a lot about her. She is a mastiff mix and weighs in at 100 pounds and is now around 8 years old. She is a gentle girl with those that she knows but will bark at new people and is aloof until she knows them better. She is somewhat of a diva and enjoys going outside to lay in the sunshine! She loves attention and enjoys getting butt scratches! Lexi will most likely need multiple visits to build a relationship with potential adopters before going home with them. At this time, she will be shown to adopters with approved applications and by appointment only due to her shy nature. Lexi does best with a routine and will need some time to adjust to a new one. An adult only home would be best for Lexi. Lexi deserves to find a loving forever home to spend her golden years in! Lexi has been spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, Heartworm/Lyme tested, and microchipped since her arrival at the shelter.

PERSONALITY: Very goofy, Wonky, wants to be a lap dog and get lots of belly rubs. He does not beg for food, but he does beg for lots of love! He thinks he is the size of a Chihuahua so he will knock you over but is so very remorseful! He does need some confidence boosting but he is very eager to learn so much!   Duke needs time to warm up to new people.  Think of him as a baby deer...avert your eyes, don't speak to him, and just wait for him to come to you. Once your in you are in!  He loves kids and enjoys running around and cuddling with them too.  He is also not a fan of sassy dogs who try to tell him the business!  He did work with a trainer to develop some key skills of redirection while on walks and those skills should be followed in his new home.   FAVORITE ACTIVITIES: Running around outback playing with his foster brothers, receiving his BarkBox every month and having a new chew toy to demolish! MEDICAL ISSUES: None!   WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST KIND OF HOME: With another dog companion that does NOT bark at him when meeting. Younger couple that can handle his weight when he pulls on the leash when he gets excited. Someone that is home often because he is bigger being in a crate for longer than 6 hours is hard on his bones!

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Fill out an Adoption Application HEADLINER : Daisy is a super sweet Cane Corso. She is in the process of getting up to her desired weight of 95 lbs. She has personality overload. Came to us with a docked tail that is so cute and wags constantly. A beautiful shade of fawn, and super cute wrinkles on her little nose. HISTORY: Daisy was a stray and recent puppy momma. She was in foster with her babies until they were all adopted. She is now in a new foster home in Bucks County PA. LIKES: Daisy LOVES her humans and will do best with one home most of the time. Her love language is physical touch!! She has been trained to use a doggie door, but the current foster does not have one. She is 100% house trained. Playing with her toys, tug ropes. She likes walks, to explore her yard, loves her zoomies and is food motivated. Likes other dogs and is fine with my cat. LOVES car rides!!! DISLIKES: Daisy does not like to be home without her humans for long periods of time- and she is an escape artist when gated!! Very vocal when she is not happy!! Dominant dogs scare her, and she becomes reactive. Slow, steady introductions worked with her 6 foster siblings. PERSONALITY:Super sweet, extremely intelligent, quick learner, inquisitive, eager to interact. Very playful, sassy, energetic and vocal when wants attention. Thrives on human attention. Good with other non-dominant dogs, but requires slow introduction to all dogs. She also takes a bit to warm up to new people and will be protective until comfortable. Unconditional love! TEMPERAMENT: Always happy. Good on a leash and at the vet.  Love bug- not a mean bone in her body!! ENERGY LEVEL: She has medium energy; sometimes may enjoy bursts of activity but is mostly laid-back and relaxed.  She enjoys walks or yard time to burn off her energy. FAVORITE ACTIVITIES: Most definitely is being with her humans.  She does like other dogs and will engage in play if initiated. Ear rubs and butt scratches are pretty up there on the happiness scale. Toys, tug of war and laying on the floor to trip you. And TREATS- she loves yummies! CHALLENGES: She does have some separation anxiety and will require patience with this. She also needs basic manners past “Sit." Foster mom successfully using Trazadone for her separation anxiety when she must go to the office. ANY MEDICAL ISSUES?: Daisy has a congenital eye condition in dogs that causes the eyelid to roll inward. She will have entropion surgery and recovery prior to adoption but may require daily eye lubricant drops for some time. WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST KIND OF HOME : Daisy would love a work-from-home parent.  She adores people, loves car rides, and will be a wonderful companion.  Patience will be required for slow introductions to resident pets, and outside humans. Her new humans will have to work on basic manners with her and over time she will be the bestest girl ever!! ADDITIONAL OBSERVATIONS / COMMENTS:  Does not crate, but respects a tall enough gate (we are using a 51 in gate). Would advise a proper, slow decompression and introduction to resident dog(s). If resident dog is dominant, would work slowly and do parallel walks together. She had been around a chicken coup and exposure to horses and cows at a distance…unreactive.

If you follow DDDR, then you already know who this sweet girl is. But for those of you who may not know her, let me introduce you to Betty Lou! Betty Lou came to our rescue as a neglect case. After some TLC, good antibiotics and 3 surgeries...she is ready for her forever home 🥰 Betty Lou is an approximate 8 year old Mastiff (over 100lbs). Don't let her age scare you, she now has a clean bill of health and a lot of love to give. If considering adopting, ask yourself these questions: Would you enjoy having a 4 legged shadow? Are you ever cold at night and think, wow a dog to keep me warm sure would be nice? Ever have concerns that your sofa may run away and a dog to hold it down would be just the trick? Need a companion for car rides? Enjoy the sound of dog snores? If you answered YES to all of these questions, then Betty Lou is the girl for you! Betty Lou is also house broken, spayed, dog/cat friendly and loves kids. We assume a man was not nice to her at some point in her life because she is shy around men (warms up in time). Please reach out if Betty Lou sounds like the dog for you
