Story
My name is Angel and I am looking for a forever home.  I was taken to a really scary place called a shelter by my owner who stated she no longer wanted me.  As an owner surrender, I was immediately placed on the euthanization list as they were overcrowded; fortunately for me, a volunteer was there when I came in and immediately contacted BCAA to see if they could help me and they said yes!  I am a chihuahua mix and the vet guessed me to be a young 10years old and the only thing she could find wrong with me was that I needed to lose some weight (my foster mom is working on that much to my chagrine!) and I was in need of a dental which BCAA took care of.  When I first came into foster, I was a little over 16lbs and I'm down to just a little over 15lbs now so slowly working my way down.  I enjoy getting attention from folks and I have gotten along with all of the 4-legged creatures I've met (both dogs & cats).  I have done really well in my crate without any accidents, barking or tearing up of bedding ... my favorite thing in  is my dog bed with a soft blanket to snuggle down in.  I'm good on leash and once the weather improves, I would love to go on walks to help in my weight loss.  If you would like to meet me, please fill out an application which can be found at www.bcaaofnj.org.Interested in adopting this pet?Click here for BCAA's on-line Application! PLEASE NOTE: Our adoption fee helps to cover our expenses and includes all shots, *age appropriate*, distemper and rabies, fecal check, spay/neuter, heartworm test, grooming, and in many cases dental and also the fee we pay when we rescue from a shelter.

Story
Vixen is an adorable female tan-and-white puppy whose Mom is 3/4 Chihuahua, 1/4 Pekingese, born on 11/27/2025. We have a photo of Dad to share, but no Idea of his breed mix. Mom and Dad did make some cute puppies, who have really loving personalities, and these will be the only ones as we paid to spay/neuter the parents. Vixen is a snuggle bunny who ends up somewhere on Foster Mom’s body in the morning. They are being fostered with love, and a strong bond with humans. If you prefer Vixen to sleep in a dog bed, she can do that as she is a young girl. We expect her to be smallish to medium size when fully grown. Vixen is started on vaccinations, and a rebate is available for spay when she is old enough. Adoption fee $275. This covers the cost of spay/neuter, DHPP, Rabies, Flea, tick, heart worm check, worm treatment, and microchip. To adopt, you need to first fill out an application. Go to: https://rutherfordcountyhumanesociety.org/dog-adoption-application/ We are located in Western North Carolina.     Optional transport is weekly.  After your application is approved, we will contact you regarding cost and delivery if you so desire.February 21, 2026, 9:03 am

Story
Chico, also lovingly called “Chico the Rabbit,” is an 8-month-old Chihuahua who loves bouncing up and down for attention and to be cradled. He ended up in our care through absolutely no fault of his own. His previous family adopted him without landlord approval, and unfortunately, sweet Chico was the one who lost his home. Thankfully, he’s now safe and exactly where he needs to be. Chico is scheduled for his neuter this week, and we’ll be sharing updates as we continue to learn more about his adorable personality. He can be a little nervous at first—which is completely understandable after everything he’s been through—but he warms up quickly. Once he trusts you, he is incredibly sweet and simply wants to be loved. Chico gets along wonderfully with both dogs and cats and currently shares his foster home with a 60-pound canine sibling. He is full of joy and excitement—once he sees you take out his leash and harness, he can’t contain his happiness! He loves car rides, sits calmly on your lap, and is crate trained—making him easy to integrate into a new home. Chico would do best in a home with adults only or with a family already familiar with the Chihuahua breed. He is looking for a foster-to-adopt home or a committed adopter who can provide the stability, patience, and understanding he deserves. He needs a kind forever family who will never give up on him again. If you can open your heart and home to Chico, please email us at info@rootrescue.org . Let’s give this little boy—the bouncing, lovable “Chico the Rabbit”—the forever home he’s been waiting for!

Story
I was a going through a rough patch in my teen years and I was gifted a Shih Tzu, whom i loved dearly. She cured me in a way and I will forever be grateful to have met her. Unfortunately she passed, she was only 3 years old. Before leaving me she somehow got pregnant with the neighbors chiwawa (I wasn’t aware until the baby’s were the spitting image of the father). She watched them turn 2 months old then passed due to rat poison she found in our yard. She gave birth to two babies. I couldn’t betray her and give them up easily so I fought to keep them, I got a job at 16 to pay for their food, lifestyle and vet check ups. I am now 20 and living alone, struggling with too many things at once, I can’t afford to keep them nor are the allowed in my building where I rent. These boys have been through everything with me. They love to play and go on walks. They were mauled by a pitbull that jumped into our yard three years ago and have not been able to trust other dogs since.
