Story
Chester is a friendly, playful, loving pup born 11/18/2020. He is about 75 lbs and can look intimidating to those who don’t know him, but he is always eager to meet new people and is curious about other dogs and animals. He has never had any issues with aggression. He does not bite and rarely barks. A giant goofball, he sometimes thinks he is a lap dog even though he’s so big. Chester is happy running around outside playing fetch or plopped on the couch for a movie marathon. He knows basic commands (sit, stay, turn around, roll over, jump, and if you say “Aflac” like the insurance company name he will balance an object on his head). As much as we love our goofy boy, he is so playful that the safety of our 1 year old child is of concern. Chester needs to be in a home where there aren’t any little kids, solely because he is so capable of knocking them over completely by accident from being playful. Chester is allergic to apples and birch.

Story
Meet Nugget! Nugget is a playful, energetic, and affectionate 1-year-old terrier mix looking for a forever home! Weighing in at 60 pounds, he has the scruffy charm of an oversized Border Terrier and the intelligence and drive typical of terriers. Nugget is still very much a puppy at heart—full of enthusiasm, curiosity, and a love for adventure. This smart and eager-to-please boy just finished 4 weeks of professional training—and he did amazing! He’s great with commands and learned so much. A fenced yard is a plus for Nugget, as he loves to play and explore. Whether it’s hiking, running, or fun training sessions, Nugget is always up for an adventure. He also has great recall, making him a fantastic outdoor companion.Like most terriers, Nugget is incredibly intelligent and would do best in a home with adults or older kids who can match his enthusiasm and love for playtime. He is good with other dogs. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, smart, and adventurous pup to join you on hikes, runs, and training sessions, Nugget might be your perfect match!

Story
Hi!  My name is Kenzie and I am looking for a forever home.  I showed up as a stray at a really nice man's home.  He tried to find my owners and even had his vet come look to see if she recognized me; she didn't but then contacted BCAA to see if they could help me and they said yes!  No one is really sure what breed mix I might be, only that I'm a sweet girl with lots of energy who wants to play and have fun!  I'm also a pretty good size at under 30lbs although my foster mom says I need to put on a few pounds ... that's ok by me as that means I get lots of extra food and treats which I love.  I've gotten along with all of the other dogs I hav met and haven't even bothered thos things called cats.  I have done really well in my crate without any accidents or tearing up any bedding; however, I would much prefer to be out and about with you, and if I hear or see you I will let you known not to forget about me.  I've done ok on leash as it means I get to go out on an adventure but could benefit from some extra time and training on one; I would also love a fenced yard that I could run and explore in safely.  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!

Story
Hi!  My name is Jay Jay and me and my friend Jaynee are both looking for forever homes.  We showed up at a really nice person's house who tried her best to find our owners; however, no one claimed us or came looking for us.  Since she couldn't keep us, after our stray hold was up she contacted a small local rescue who then reached out to BCAA to see if they could help us both find our own forever homes and they said yes!  We do not have to be adopted together but do get along great; we also get along with all of the other dogs we have met.  We've met a couple of cats and do not bother them at all (they're just as big as us!).  We are both guesstimated to be about 2 years old, so we are past all of that puppy foolishenss; and we're on the smaller side as I'm only 12lbs and my friend Jaynee is a little over 13lbs.  My foster mom says I've got the cutest underbite and I love cuddling and getting attention.  I have done really well in my crate which I share with Jaynee without any accidents, and we eat side-by-side in our crate without any issues at all.  It doesn't appear that we have ever had leashes on before but we're trying to learn (Jaynee is doing a little better than me), but in the meantime we will need fenced yards to take care of our business and to keep us safe.  If you would like to meet me or Jaynee, 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!

Story
Meet Wayne! Wayne is a gentle, handsome boy with a heart full of love to give. He was found with another dog and brought to the shelter back in June 2022. After spending three long years in a kennel, he’s more than ready for a fresh start. Despite his time in the shelter, Wayne has remained incredibly sweet, affectionate, and eager to bond with people. He lights up when he’s around others and quietly soaks up all the love and attention he can get. He is around 4 years old now. Wayne is very smart and catches on quickly to new things. He walks fairly well on a leash, though he can become scared by loud noises or unfamiliar situations and may freeze or try to hide. He absolutely loves other dogs and enjoys playing with them. Wayne has been good around children of all ages, but due to his occasionally skittish nature, older or more gentle kids would be the best fit for him.He’s still unsure about being crated, which isn’t surprising given his long stay in a kennel, but he’s making progress. Wayne is a sweet and happy boy who is just waiting for the chance to experience life in a loving home. With a little patience and a lot of affection, he’ll make an incredibly loyal and grateful companion. Apply at bcaaofnj.orgInterested in adopting this pet?Click here for BCAA's on-line Application!

Story
Meet Nestor! This 3.5-month-old, 22-pound pup is a joyful burst of energy and personality. Nestor loves toys and turns everything into a game—his current favorite is weaving in and out of your legs like a little agility star in training!Though he may be a bit shy at first, Nestor quickly settled into his foster home and has shown what a lovable, playful pup he truly is. He’s already housebroken, enjoys meeting new people, and gets along well with other dogs. While he may take a little extra time to warm up to larger dogs, he gets there with patience and a gentle introduction.Nestor is working on his leash skills and doing great—especially if there’s a toy or treat involved. With his sweet spirit and playful charm, Nestor is ready to bring energy, cuddles, and fun to his forever home! Bcaaofnj.orgInterested in adopting this pet?Click here for BCAA's on-line Application!
