These Jersey City-based canines are up for adoption and in need of a good homePhotos: Petfinder

Interested in adopting a pet — or just taking a peek at some cuddly canines up for adoption? There are dozens of great dogs up for adoption at animal shelters in and around Jersey City.

Animal shelters and pet rescue groups work hard to care for unhoused pets and connect them to loving homes. Hoodline used data from Petfinder to power this roundup of dogs currently available for adoption.

(Details like pet availability, training, vaccinations and other features are based on data provided by Petfinder and may be subject to change; contact the shelter for the latest information.)


Daisy, American Staffordshire terrier mix

Daisy is a female American Staffordshire terrier mix being cared for at Hudson Haven Dog Rescue.

Fear not: She's already house-trained. Her vaccinations are up to date, and she's spayed, too. 

From her current caretaker:

Daisy is a little pocket-sized pittie with ears big enough to hear what the neighbors are saying down the street! Don't let her size fool you. This little lady is packed with huge personality and loves to crawl up on your lap for attention.

Maggie, Labrador retriever mix

Maggie is a sweet female Labrador retriever mix currently residing at Hudson Haven Dog Rescue.

Maggie loves other dogs. She's already spayed, and she has had all her shots. Good news: She's already house-trained, too. 

Her current caretakers say:

This young girl is a playful ball of energy and would do best in an active home with plenty of room to play or a home with another playful dog. Maggie loves affection and attention and will do nearly anything for a belly rub!
