Beacon Animal Rescue, a no-kill shelter in Upper Township, has been dedicated to saving the lives of cats and dogs since 2003. The organization works to rescue, care for and place animals in loving homes while also supporting pet owners with resources and education. Serving the South Jersey region, Beacon aims to “light the way toward greater compassion and care for companion animals.”

Here are two pups looking for a forever home.

Meet April. She’s an energetic, playful girlie who captures your heart once she warms up and shows you her big personality. She would do great with a canine sibling, someone to show her the ropes and build her confidence outside of the shelter. April is a friendly girl and loves rolling around with her playmates, and she doesn’t discriminate on species — she gets along with both cats and dogs! She’s also a smarty pants and knows the following commands: sit, down, stay, come, roll over and place. Not too shabby for a 9 month old girl! April is ready to be your best friend and a real cuddle bug!

Meet Olly. He is our gentle giant! He is a very handsome one-and-a-half-year-old male lab mix. He weighs about 70 lbs but is really just a big baby. He enjoys short walks, as long as they are followed by some time in the yard where he can not only chase his toy, but lay down and roll around with it. He loves showing off his silly and goofy side! Olly is very smart and already knows these commands: sit, down, stay and touch! Olly has earned and secured the title of volunteer favorite, and we can’t wait for his forever family to find him!
