Meet Mozzarella: The Ball-Chasing, Car-Loving Pup Ready for His Forever Home

Help Mozzarella find the forever home he deserves—and maybe even a few more tennis balls along the way.

Forked River, NJ – Mozzarella might be named after a beloved snack, but this playful pup is anything but cheesy—unless you count his big, goofy grin and love for tennis balls.

At six years young, Mozzarella is the perfect mix of mature and full of life. With his boundless energy and undeniable charm, he’s got a knack for winning hearts wherever he goes. One of his proudest tricks? Fitting two tennis balls in his mouth at once—a talent he’s eager to show off to anyone willing to play.

But Mozzarella isn’t just about fun and games. This sweet soul is a dream on leash, making walks a breeze, and he’s a model passenger in the car—ideal for road trips, park adventures, or just leisurely drives around town. Loyal, loving, and always up for quality time, Mozzarella thrives when he’s by your side.

Staff at the Associated Humane Popcorn Park Shelter describe him as a “treat of a dog” with a heart as big as his smile. He’s been waiting patiently for the right family to come along—one that’s ready to welcome a best friend who offers affection, companionship, and a daily dose of joy.

If you’re searching for a furry co-pilot with a zest for life and a whole lot of love to give, Mozzarella might just be your perfect match.

Interested adopters can meet Mozzarella at the Popcorn Park Shelter in Forked River. For more information, visit www.ahscares.org or call (609) 693-1900.
