Story
Hi, this is Buttercup. We found her back in 2017 wandering the streets and we took her in. Unfortunately we can no longer care for her. She can be timid until she gets to know you. I’d prefer she have a woman owner to make her less stressed. She needs some dental care and a wellness visit

Quinn is the sweetest girl. She was found on the streets of Mexico with her siblings as a puppy while I was living in Arizona and shes come a very long way since then. She went through 3 weeks of board and train to try and get over her fear of the world and now she is a much happier girl. She loves her humans and tolerates her dog friends. She loves to run outside and play with toys. Quinny is having a very hard time since a new baby came home and is very scared and tried to snap a few times which she has never done to a person before. Quinn is having to be locked in her cage most of the day so she doesn’t hurt her brother which is become even more stressful for her. She would love to find a home with older kids or adults and people she can play with and be free again.

Her name is Esme, and she is truly as sweet as pie. Esme is a beautiful deep gray girl with stunning, soulful eyes that will melt your heart. She’s about 2 years old and currently weighs 12 pounds, though she’s a bit underweight and would benefit from gaining about 2–3 pounds to reach a healthy size.Esme can be nervous at first, as the world still feels a little scary to her, but once she warms up she becomes incredibly sweet, cuddly, and loving. She adores being held, comforted, and staying close to her people. She will happily follow you around the house and just wants to be near you.She’s a cozy girl at heart and loves curling up under the covers or snuggling in for naps. Esme also loves cuddling with other dogs and does well with dogs of all sizes. She has a gentle, quiet nature and an easygoing presence that makes her a wonderful companion.Esme is doing well with house training and will use puppy pads if needed. She is also doing well with crate training, rides nicely in the car, and is working on her leash walking. She prefers to take things slow while she builds confidence.Esme’s skin is currently in rough shape, but it is already improving with proper nutrition, care, and the comfort of indoor living. With continued love and care, she’s only going to keep blossoming.Esme is even prettier in person and has the kind of sweetness that sneaks up on you. She’s ready for a patient, loving home where she can feel safe, cozy, and adored forever. Bcaaofnj.orgInterested in adopting this pet?Click here for BCAA's on-line Application!

Story
Hi!  My name is Sugar and I am looking for a forever home.  I am one of several dogs that were surrendered to a small rescue after our owner had to go into assisted living and was unable to keep any of us.  A volunteer with that rescue contacted BCAA to see if they could help us and they said yes ... yeah!.  We are a collection of dogs that she has rescued over the years and we were all pretty scared when we first came into foster, but everyone has been so nice and patient with us that we are all coming out of our shells; my foster mom says I've done the best and came around the quickest (those treats and good food really helped!).  I am a small chihuahua mix at a little under 13lbs, and while I'm guesstimated to be around 7 years old, don't let my age fool you as I have lots of spunk and act much younger than I look, especially considering I'm a tri-pod.  I have gotten along with all of the other small dogs I have met but not so good with cats so I will need a home without them.  I have done well in my crate which I share with one of my friends without any accidents, barking, tearing up of bedding or any issues with eating side-by-side (although I will try and eat my friend's food after I'm finished with mine since she's a slower eater).  I've done ok on leash considering my previous owner said she never had me on one but I would love a fenced yard so I can run around and expore.  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!

This little girl is Agnes. She's a Chihuahua mix of 1 year and only 11 pounds .She can be shy at first, and she does need a bit of TLC, but she also loves playing with other dogs, and she enjoys being around people. Ready to give this little one some love? (Due to her small size, we feel she would not thrive in a home with small children who don't always know their own strength.)

Meet Sylvia, a 3-month-old mix of Chihuahua and Hound with a sparkling personality. She's a pretty picture in her short brindle coat. Presently weighing 12 pounds, she'll grow to about 35 pounds at which time her personality will shine even more! She's very sweet and playful, gets along well with other dogs, and, although a little shy at first, she quicky delights in those around her. And did we mention that she's crate trained? Sweet, sparkling, and loving, this is a fine little girl!

Story
Taco and Salsa are 1 year old Chihuahua/Terrier mixes with warm personalities despite a bit of shyness at first meeting. They're an active pair whose smiles will bring out yours, too! A small brother and sister, they are only 13/14 pounds and so would be best in a home with no small children who don't always know their own strength. Delightful to have around, they would enrich any family as a warm and loving pet!!!

Story
Meet Goose! He's playful and adorable. He wants to sleep in late, take long walks, and play before bedtime. 7 years old, 21 lbs, Gustav is a Pomeranian mix with soft flowing locks. He's a fast learner and knows over 20 commands and tricks. If you teach him a trick, he'll pick it up in no time. Goose is perfectly house trained and is great on a leash. He has some dog reactivity but he'll ignore most dogs if you give him a treat & prefers dogs that are smaller than him. He has lived with cats successfully. Goose has been our beloved pet for 6 years. We wholeheartedly adore him and are heartbroken to say goodbye. Unfortunately, he has become anxious and stressed sharing his home with a 4 month old. His vet and trainer agree that while this beautiful, loving pup's anxiety does require management, a fresh start in a new place would make him a happier dog. He needs calm, quiet, & quality time with 1 or 2 adults in a child-free home. Could you be Gustav's new best friend?
