My story

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

Meet Shaggy!

Shaggy is a 2-year-old, sweet little guy who weighs just 12 pounds and is a true bundle of love. If you look closely at his shelter photos, you’ll see just how dirty and uncomfortable he was when he arrived—poor Shaggy was not happy at all. He needed to be shaved down, and once that was done, you could tell he felt so much better. Now in his foster home, he’s comfortable, happier, and showing his true personality.

Shaggy enjoys staying close to his people and is always up for cozy snuggles. He appears to be house trained, does well spending time in his crate, and is good with other dogs, making him an easy companion in a multi-dog home. His gentle, affectionate nature makes him a wonderful fit for anyone looking for a small dog with a big heart.

Unfortunately, Shaggy did test heartworm positive and has already started the first step of treatment. The good news is that BCAA will cover the remainder of his heartworm treatment with one of our trusted vets, so his future family can focus on loving him while he heals.

Shaggy is ready for a fresh start and a home where he’ll never have to feel uncomfortable again—just loved. Bcaaofnj.org

Their adoption process

Submit Application

Submitting an application is always our first step - it's free to apply! bcaaofnj.org

Additional adoption info

Our adoption process starts with the applicant filling out an adoption application for the pet they are interested in. When they have completed and submitted the application, the screening process is started, which consists of a vet check, phone interview and home visit. Once all the steps are completed, we determine, by our findings, if they are approved, and if so, then they are allowed to adopt from our organization. The final step is they must complete the adoption contract, along with the donation for the animal, which goes into our medical fund to defray their medical costs. All of our animals are spayed and neutered, up to date on all their shots, including rabies, they are parasite free and on heartworm preventative.
