In the shelter’s words
This dog is part of our shelter outreach program where we take dogs from overcrowded shelters in hopes of finding them a forever home here! We generally do not have much background info on them and cannot guarantee they are housebroken. They are all up to date on vaccines, spayed/neutered and microchipped. Duchess never imagined she’d be starting over at 5 years old. This cattle dog mix has spent her entire life side by side with her brother Teddy in a loving home. When their owner passed away last year, everything changed. With no one in the family able to take them and the home being sold, Duchess and Teddy suddenly found themselves without the only life they’ve ever known. Through it all, they’ve stayed true to who they are - friendly, affectionate, playful, and always looking for someone to love. They crave attention, and lean in for pets. They’re used to having space to run and play, so a fenced yard would be ideal for these higher-energy pups. They would do best in a home that can match their energy and give them the love they’ve been missing. They have been exposed to kids ages 13+. After coming to the shelter, it appears they are neither bonded or dependent on each other. If you have room in your heart and home for a loyal companion, Duchess is waiting. 9/18/26 12pm

Adoption Fees: Dogs $100.00 Cats $45.00 Puppies $75 plus $50 refundable spay/neuter deposit Kittens $30 plus $50 refundable spay/neuter deposit Rabbits $35 Adoption Process Our friendly, knowledgable team of staff and volunteers would be glad to give you a tour of the shelter and discuss whether one of our furry friends is the right match for your home. Please click here for our location and visiting hours. The JSAC has careful policies on the placement of young animals, dominant breed dogs (Rottweilers, Shepherds, Akitas, etc) and we give preference to homes in the Eastern PA, New Jersey, Southern New York and Northern Delaware region (please note: we do not ship animals). We prefer homes in the region so that we can be a resource for the animals and their adopters. These policies and procedures are in place to protect everyone involved and are very common when rehoming animals, whether through a shelter or a rescue group. We do not have "same day" adoptions. Rather, an application for an animal is reviewed to ensure that 1) the home has taken good care of their other animals * 2) The animal is permitted in the home and 3) that it is the right home for the right animal (choosing dog that likes cats if cats already in household, etc..). Typically this process takes 24-48 hours. If a dog application is approved and there are other dogs in the home, we have the two (or more) dogs meet; many times if necessary.
