John's Story

Meet John! 🐾<br/><br/>John is a strong, affectionate, and energetic dog who is looking for a special adopter who can<br/>match his enthusiasm and help him thrive. He can get easily overstimulated during play or close contact and is strong on leash with a lot of jumping energy. Because of this, John would do best in a home without small children or frail adults.<br/><br/>John has shown some guarding around high-value chews, so he would benefit from ongoing training and guidance in this area. He responds well to structure, and with the right experienced adopter or rescue willing to continue his behavior support, John has the potential to be a loving companion.<br/><br/>He is generally friendly with people and tolerant of other dogs, and he thrives when he has clear boundaries and consistent training. If you’re looking for a smart, affectionate dog with personality to spare—and you have the experience to help him succeed—John could be the perfect addition to your family!

Trenton Animal Shelter's Adoption Policy
Anyone interested in fostering or adopting a dog from The Trenton Animal Shelter must complete an application. All applications for foster or adoption will be screened for suitability and must include personal and veterinarian references. Once approved, a representative from the shelter will contact the applicant and set up a meeting with the animal. All other animals in the household and family members must participate in a “meet and greet” with the desired animal in order to confirm suitability. Adoptions are finalized with a contract releasing the animal to the adopter(s). The shelter does not allow return of adopted animals, with the exception of Trenton residents, who may re-release their animal to the shelter. However, the adoption fee is non-refundable.
