Who We Are
Shelter Survivors is a 501 (C)(3) rescue group. We rescue dogs that have been turned over to high kill shelters in the tri-state area. Many of these dogs have wonderful temperaments, yet they face the risk of euthanasia simply due to overcrowding in our local shelters. Shelter Survivors’ dogs live in foster homes until they find their permanent homes. They are integrated into our homes so that we can have a better understanding of who they are, which gives us the opportunity to match families up with our dogs so a home really is forever!
Featured Dog Of The Month
This is our beautiful Zena, a 1 year old lab mix who is as sweet as they come! She has a gorgeous, shiny black coat and weighs about 35 lbs. Zena was surrendered to the shelter after her family decided they didn't have time for her anymore. We quickly got her out of there and into a foster home where she is thriving!
Zena has settled in beautifully and has shown her foster family what a wonderful, affectionate girl she is! She gets along wonderfully with everyone in her foster home, including the other dogs and cats. She is shy when she first meets new people, but warms up quickly. As soon as someone approaches our Zena, she rolls over, hoping for a belly rub!! She is very well behaved in the house and is very calm and gentle. Of course, she's only a year old, so she enjoys her play time and LOVES going for walks, but when you are ready to relax, so is Zena! She will happily curl up next to you, with her head on your lap ready for a snooze. Zena is housebroken and very well behaved when left alone in the house. She is a true gem and is going to make a wonderful companion to the lucky family that adopts her!

A Letter to the Girl Scouts:
We just wanted to give a big thank you to Girl Scout Troop 1224 of Hillsborough. We appreciate all of the hard work that you have done for Shelter Survivors! For the last few months, you have attended adoption days and helped with our foster dogs. They enjoyed the fresh bowls of water, but they especially enjoyed all of the attention that you gave to them! Our dogs have loved all of the home-made treats and toys you made for them too! We were amazed at the amount of donations that you helped collect for us! We have had many dogs that needed major vet care. Your donations helped with our vet bills. We also cannot thank you enough for all of the food, treats, toys, and supplies that you collected throughout the past few months. You are all big advocates for dogs, especially for dog's that have ended up in shelters! You have made a difference in our foster dog's lives. Keep up the good work! Congratulations on your bronze award!
