Shelter Specials

Trenton Animal Shelter

Honoring the Trenton Animal Shelter, this hot dog topped with Peppers, Potatoes, and Mustard served on a Torpedo Roll, originated in the 1930's at the Casino Restaurant in Trenton. Served on a torpedo roll from Trenton's infamous Italian People's Bakery, the  Trenton Animal Shelter celebrates the city's history and businesses.

Amazing Mutt

Our take on two classic hot dog 'breeds,' creating a unique combination that celebrates mixed breed dogs often known as mutts. This take on the classic, Chili Cheese dog  celebrates the Amazing Mutts Puppy Rescue, where we have fostered many dogs from.

Colleton County

The Carolina Style Hot Dog topped with Mustard, Onions, Chili, and Cole Slaw brings a little southern comfort to New Jersey. This regional take also celebrates Colleton County, where we rescued our amazing mutt, Elle, through Colleton County Animal Services. Elle brings a little southern comfort to nursing homes and schools with her work as a therapy dog.

Marty's Place

This meatball sub is our take on a senior classic in honor of Marty’s Place Senior Dog Sanctuary. This organization works tirelessly to provide a safe, loving, and protected environment for senior dogs in need of homes.

Pilots N' Paws

Right from the street carts of New York, this Sabrett's Hot Dog topped with Onions in Red Sauce, Mustard, and Sauerkraut showcases the amazing work of Pilots N' Paws. By connecting overcrowded shelters, like those in Colleton County, with pilots who donate their planes and time, Pilots N' Paws has saved countless dogs. This includes our f

Right from the street carts of New York, this Sabrett's Hot Dog topped with Onions in Red Sauce, Mustard, and Sauerkraut showcases the amazing work of Pilots N' Paws. By connecting overcrowded shelters, like those in Colleton County, with pilots who donate their planes and time, Pilots N' Paws has saved countless dogs. This includes our former foster, Bandit, who now enjoys a loving home with a retired New York City firefighter who responded to the 9/11 terror attacks.

MOWMC Pet Pantry

This Sausage w/Peppers & Onions highlights the Meals on Wheels of Mercer County Pet Pantry Program, which ensures homebound seniors and their pets receive the food they need to stay healthy and happy. 

Hamilton Animal Shelter

This distinct Hot Dog, featuring Bacon Bits, Cheese, Sweet Chili Sauce, and Tater Tots, pays tribute to the efforts of the Hamilton Animal Shelter in providing homes for animals in need.

Trenton Cats Rescue

We all know it’s Pork Roll and not Taylor Ham! Get that mistake wrong and we’re ready to get our claws out. Speaking of claws, this classic sandwich stuffed with Pork Roll and Cheese highlights Trenton Cats Rescue and all they do to support cats in the city of Trenton. 

EASEL

Based in Ewing, EASEL strives to reduce the number of animals euthanized in Mercer County through collaborative coalitions and community partnerships. We seek to highlight their efforts by featuring an amazing BBQ Pulled Pork topped with Cole Slaw or Mac & Cheese.

SAVE Shake

The Save Shake, our take on the milkshake, supports SAVE "A Friend to Homeless Animals".  SAVE is dedicated to protecting the health and welfare of homeless companion animals in the greater Princeton area and beyond. SAVE works to dogs in need from shelters and into their care. They also serve as the boarding facility for lost and found pets brought in through Lawrence Township Animal Control. 

About Our Shelter Specials

To promote the adoption of dogs in Colleton County and nearby areas, our menu emphasizes local shelters and rescues, including our friends at Amazing Mutt and those we have a personal connection with. We are committed to supporting ALL efforts to help ALL animals, ensuring they find their loving furever homes through various initiatives, including collaborations with organizations like Pilots N' Paws. We would love to partner with other rescues and shelters to host events, including fundraising and adoption days at our store, such as those featuring Marty's Meatballs or showcasing the Trenton Dog.
