Brian and Bella
My wife Sherry and I adopted Lucas and Fiona (now Brian and Bella) from you back in October. They are doing great and we just love the guys.
Buddy and Gramps
This is Teddy (formerly Buddy), who came to PAWS two years ago riddled with health issues and already up there in years. He was operated on for severe bladder stones, and went on to find this awesome home with Linda and Jay and their two other dogs in South Orange. …
Taz and Callie
Lacie
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PUPPIES! We cannot believe it’s been a year since Mamas (aka Coffee) arrived at PAWS, very pregnant, and gave birth to her puppies two days later, Mother’s Day 2011! All puppies were adopted out at 8 weeks old. We received this great photo of Lacie, who is living…
Plato
Plato found his way to PAWS in 2007 through animal control. He was quiet, reserved, and he bore the look of a dog who had spent much of his time outside. His teeth were worn, maybe from chewing rocks, his coat was matted and dull. He showed no aggressive tendencies…

Teddy
BUDDY (now “TEDDY”) What seemed to be a “quick and easy” adoption turned out to be anything but… Teddy’s former caretaker contacted PAWS asking if we would be able to rehome Teddy (then “Buddy”), an older Yorkshire terrier. Teddy had been the cherished pet of this person’s mother, who passed…
Amber
AMBROSIA Her “time was up” at another NJ shelter, and she needed rescue asap. Her only “fault” was that she’d been overlooked by adopters since there were so many other dogs at that shelter. Their rescue coordinator and PAWS Director spoke, and the empty spot at our sanctuary was filled…
Jack
JACK Jack, a large, happy, always-smiling pit bull, wasn’t showing well in his kennel in a southern New Jersey shelter. Doing flips in his kennel and barking at potential adopters didn’t enhance this handsome, young guy’s chances for adoption and he resided there for about 7 months. His future was…
