My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Grover!

This nervous loyal boy was surrendered when his owner passed away. He was terrified to leave the only home he had ever known but has quickly warmed up and is enjoying all the walks, run, hikes and attention from his favorite staff members. He was severely overweight and tired easily, and was found to be hypothyroid so he's on an inexpensive medication for life and feels much better now!

Grover lived with 2 women his whole life and wasn't socialized much to other people so he doesn't trust strangers especially men. Once he feels comfortable he quickly becomes a cuddly silly boy with his chosen people. He will be distrustful and protective with visitors so needs a lower traffic home where he can be introduced gradually and safely to new people, or put in another room when people come over. He bonds to a female owner very quickly and believes it is his job to protect them from all threats, real or in his mind only so you will very safe with him around. His ideal home would be with just one or possibly 2 women only as that is what he is accustomed to.

Please submit an application from our website www.rbari.org. He is 4 1/2 years old and a lab/Catahoula mix we believe, with gorgeous partially blue eyes!

More about this shelter

Ramapo-Bergen Animal Refuge, Inc. is founded on the belief that all animals have a natural right to humane treatment including proper care and safe shelter. Due to overpopulation, there are insufficient homes for most cats and dogs. Some are lucky enough to find temporary shelter and a few even find permanent homes. However it is a devastating fact that the majority are either euthanized or forced to chance life without shelter.

To support our belief and to relieve the unnecessary suffering of animals, we shall:
1.Extend every effort to find, evaluate, and secure good adoptive homes for animals in our care.
2.Provide animals with medical services and behavior therapy to the extent of our ability.
3.Adhere to a “no-kill” policy: animals shall not be euthanized for the purpose of providing space for new animals.
4.Adhere to a 100% spay and neuter policy.
5.Maintain continuing humane education programs and in particular to schools.
