My story

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

Angel, Female, Age 12

Angel is a sweet, people-loving senior girl with a young spirit! Friendly, smart, quiet (Unless she see food she wants LOL). She enjoys walks, yard sniffing, toys, and being near her humans. Although she loves being around people... she is not a "cuddle bug" She prefers to follow you around or come up to you when she is looking for pets or attention. She is pretty independent. 
She gets along with other dogs but doesn’t interact much ... basically ignores them but is absolutely fine around them. 
She is a healthy senior and has been vet checked. She is spayed and UTD on vaccines and weights 17 lbs.


Angel likely lived a pampered life and may beg or bark for table food; She responds well to consistent, gentle  but firm guidance. Overall, she listens, though she can be a bit stubborn. 
Quirks to note: • Toy/Food possessive: She gets anxious and may growl you approach her toys or food while she’s eating or chewing on a toy. She can also (in the beginning) growl or nip if you try to take something away from her or pick something up too quickly that is near her startling her. Best for the first month or so to go slow till she is confident that you mean her no harm. 

She doesn’t like being picked up from the ground without warning: She growls as a warning if lifted in a way she dislikes, especially under the belly… but is okay being helped on her terms (quick scoops, jumping into car or onto couch with assistance when she wants it). Angel may have a past reason for her dislike of being lifted, but with understanding and respect of her boundaries, she is a loving, happy companion with lots of love to give.

She’s truly a wonderful girl ready to bond with her forever people if you give her the time to decompress and to trust you! We are looking for a person or family of adults that have dog experience and that can be a STRONG PACK LEADER for her. Someone that is not put off by her occasional growl and that wants to adopt her to save her and give her a furever home. 
Won’t you give this little senior girl a home to live out her golden years with comfort and companionship. If you are interested in adopting Angel, please fill out an application!

Angel is currently being fostered Northern New Jersey. Applicant's should live within 3 hours drive of there and be willing to drive to pick her up.

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.
