Maya
Maya is a great dog! Her nickname is Kung Fu Panda because she uses her body so well when other dogs get a little excited around her. She has been used to temperament test other dogs and has great energy around them. She is a lower energy dog and walks well on the leash. We have also had her around the cats and she didn’t notice that they were there.

We have not done any treadmill work with her due to her energy level. Maya is extremely strong so someone who has experience with big dominant breeds would be the best fit for her.

Trooper
This is Trooper and he has been at the Toms River Animal Shelter way too long. He is a fantastic dog who has come a very long way. Like many dogs that are surrendered to shelters and rescue groups he didn't have any manners and was fairly clueless how to act around people and other dogs.  Although he can still be very excitable he corrects extremely well now. With the right leadership and direction he can be trusted in any situation.

Trooper is a pro on the treadmill and it really helps burn off his energy. If you decide to adopt him we will show the steps we have taken to get him to where he is today.

He has been helping rehabilitate other dogs now for close to six months and is a valued member of our team. His time has come to move on to his forever home.
