What a goofball little Squirt is! She's just 2 years old and we first met her back in the fall of 2019 when she was a stray kitten. Squirt was adopted quickly but was returned some time later. She came back with allergies and a skin condition that was left untreated so we got straight to work on that. We've found that prednisone works best for her, and she'll need to stay on that. It's a small price to pay to have this happy girl in your life! She's such a little doll and she loves life and everyone in it. She's still so playful and silly, and she's sweet and mellow too. She gets along fine with other cats and she's outgoing, affectionate, and she'd love to be welcomed into your life! Call 609-693-1900 or email: office@ahsppz.org for an application. File#42389 4/5/21

Ozbourne is a smushy, mushy guy of barely 2 years old that would love to start over in a loving home. Ozbourne was turned in over the summer when his family could no longer care for him. Ozbourne is initially a little shy, but if you're quiet and gentle with him, he quickly flops over on his side, gazes at you with his big, pretty eyes, and reaches out to get you to pet him. He's very sweet, he just needs a minute to get to know you. Ozbourne lived with other cats and he'd be fine with having a feline friend in his new home. He'll be your best fluffy buddy if you'll give him the chance. Call 609-693-1900 or email: office@ahsppz.org for an application. File#53268 7/29/21

It's official! According to our veterinarian, "Gilligan is free to be a dog again!". Woo hoo!! The last of our Bahama 12 that came to us several months ago from a rescue that took the dogs from the streets of the Bahamas is cleared of heartworm! If that was stopping you from meeting him before, come in and meet him now!
Gilligan is a barrel of laughs and he's such a sweet, lovable character. He's around 3 years old and he's playful and active, and he makes friends so easily. Although he loves people, he flattens out when someone raises a hand over his head, so a home with no young kids is best for Gilligan. He needs some leash-walking training but he's a fast learner, and he's so gentle and good natured too. Gilligan is ok to meet other larger dogs and see how it goes. He's bubbling over with happiness and personality, and he can't wait to meet you! Call 609-693-1900 or email: office@ahsppz.org for an application for Gilligan. File#52714 7/2/21

Oh my.....you are going to absolutely, positively love this little guy! His name is Vinny and he's only about 10 months old. How he ever became a stray in the big city is beyond us because once you meet Vinny, you never want to let him go! Vinny is just a doll. He loves you from the moment he meets you and he wants nothing more than to attempt to climb in your lap and get all the attention he can from you. Vinny is such a good boy too. He's good on a leash, he sits when asked, he takes treats gently, and he could take his toys or leave em'.....he'd really rather spend time with you than play with toys. Vinny has a history of intestinal upset, but we've got it completely under control with a prescription diet. He should stay on this going forward. Vinny seems happy to meet other dogs and people of all ages, and he sure hopes you'll welcome him home! Call 609-693-1900 or email: office@ahsppz.org for an application. File#54201 9/17/21

Toby is a big, beautiful boy of about 3 1/2 years old that would positively love a peaceful and happy home to spend his life in. He was found as a stray back in March and Toby has been living the good life in our free-roaming cat area ever since. Although he's a big boy, his confidence isn't all that big. He's very sweet and unassuming, and doesn't go out of his way to get your attention, but doesn't shy away from it either. Toby has no shyness with other cats though, and a home with a built-in feline friend would be great for Toby, or you can just adopt a friend with him! Either way, we hope you'll give Toby a chance!

Ace realizes he may be asking a little more than the average dog but come on......look at this face! How can you say no?! Ace is about 4 1/2 years old and this goofball of a dog was turned in by his owner with no reason given. We later discovered that Ace is diabetic. Now that he's being treated with insulin, he's feeling like a brand new boy! He's on it twice a day, along with a prescription diet (Hill's W/D) and that does the trick for this sweetheart. Insulin is relatively inexpensive and a prescription diet is about the same as feeding your dog a good diet, so we hope that someone will offer our playful, silly boy the home of his dreams. Ace is a barrel of laughs! He absolutely loves to run and play, and after he gets his jumpies out in our exercise yard, he's happy to sit on your feet peacefully. Ace is a bit grabby when he takes his treats and toys, so a home with no young kids is best, but he's otherwise well behaved and he's good with larger dogs too. He'd love to meet you!

Lua is the most darling little lady! She likes to pretend she's shy, but we got her number. She's cautious, if anything, when she first meets someone. She kind of hangs back to check you out and see if you're there to play with her or what. Once you show her a favorite toy or pet her, the true Lua emerges! She's very sweet and gentle, and she's only about 7 months old and has a lifetime ahead of her that she'd love to spend with a great family. Lua is fine with other cats and she's ready to meet you!

Thank you to the countless individuals that donated so many fabulous prizes too! People like Dorene Szeker and Donna Mitchell, who donate carloads of gifts, and so many others, are appreciated more than they know. And of course, thank you to the more than 400 people that participated in the auction. We couldn't do what we do for animals in need without the support of good people like all of you!
We're excited to announce that next year, we're going back to our in-person grand shindig-style auction like we've held for over 40 years, so keep a lookout for more on that after the new year begins. Thanks again!

The Fall Guys are here again, just to show you how beautifully they blend with the fall foliage, but also to let you know that they're still waiting very patiently to meet you! Deuce and Simba are about 5 years old now and the boys are the perfect family dogs! They're fun-loving and silly, but well-behaved too. They love people of all ages and they love each other, so all they ask is to stay together forever, and be the only pets in your home. That's not asking much when you consider all the happiness they'll bring to your life! 😄 Call 609-693-1900 or email office@ahsppz.org for an application.

Happy days are here again for Marco!! Check out our happy, goofy pup lounging out in his very own home! We're just thrilled for Marco and his new family and we think it's safe to say that Marco is pretty thrilled too! He was found abandoned in a city park over the summer and we can't imagine how that could have happened. Marco positively loves people and never wants to leave your side! But it all worked out in the end. He got himself a fabulous new home and a family to love him always. Congratulations Marco and family, and best wishes for a long and happy life together!
