Story
Eddie is a loving, people-oriented dog who enjoys being around his humans and is always eager to please. He knows basic commands including sit, lay down, stay, and focus, and he is very treat-motivated, which makes training fun and rewarding. Eddie has a lot of energy and needs an active home where he has an outlet for that energy. He would ideally have another energetic, playful dog in the home to keep him company and play with, or a home where he can have a “job,” such as herding or another activity that gives him a purpose and helps him burn energy. Eddie would do best in a cat-free home. He is extremely fearful of cats and does not feel comfortable around them. We are looking for a loving, patient, active home where Eddie can continue to learn, play, and be part of the family. He has so much love to give and deserves a home where he can truly thrive.

Story
Hi!  My name is Poppi and I am looking for a forever home.  Me and my friend Pippi were found abandoned on a dirt road in a trash bag by a nice lady who took them in and then contacted a friend of hers that she knew had ties to rescue.  After all attempts were unsuccessful to find an owner, BCAA was contacted to see if they could help us and they said yes!  While we get along great together, we do not need to be adopted together and are each looking for our own home where we can be loved and cherished and never worry about being thrown out with the trash again.  I weigh around 7.5lbs so I will fit about anywhere, and at only about a year old, I love playing and cuddling.  I'm a little shy when I first meet new people but with just a little bit of time and lots of TLC, I learn I can trust you and then I love getting lots of attention.  I have gotten along with all of the other small dogs I have met and even eat side-by-side with my friend Poppi with no issues; I haven't bothered those things called cats 'cause they are all bigger than me.  I have done pretty good in my crate with very few accidents (none if I get out on a regular schedule) and no tearing up of any bedding; however, I would prefer to be out with you and may let you know not to forget about me if I see or hear you.  I have actually done ok on leash afterI have learned to trust you, and with just a little bit more practice, I know I'll get it down pat.  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
At 8 years young and 60 pounds, Brownie is the perfect mix of wisdom, sweetness, and just the right amount of playful spirit. After spending years in a shelter, she’s mastered what it means to be a truly great companion—loyal, loving, and always by your side.Brownie is a smart girl who enjoys figuring out puzzles and games, and she still has a little bounce in her step for gentle walks and playtime. She’s crate trained, but if she had her way, she’d happily trade that in for a cozy spot next to you on the couch.She’s independent when she wants to be, but never too busy for a cuddle session. Brownie is dog selective, and while we’re still learning which dogs she may get along with, she would likely be happiest as the only dog in the home where she can soak up all the love.Through everything life has thrown her way, Brownie has stayed brave, kind, and full of love. Now all she’s missing is a forever home to call her own.Adopt Brownie—and gain a loyal best friend for life Bcaaofnj.orgInterested in adopting this pet?Click here for BCAA's on-line Application!

Story
Meet Onyx! Onyx is one of those dogs who just needs someone to believe in him. This handsome boy is around 1 year old and 45 pounds, with the most gorgeous, shiny black coat. We think he may be a Mountain Cur/Lab mix, but whatever his recipe, we know one thing for sure—he is a very special boy. Onyx is a shy and unsure guy who is still learning that people can be kind and that life can be good. We suspect a man may have been unkind to him in his past because he warms up and bonds much more quickly with females. He will need a patient family who understands that trust takes time and will give him the space he needs to adjust to his new life. Once Onyx trusts you, though… watch out for the cuddles! He loves putting his head in your lap and soaking up affection.He absolutely adores other dogs and really needs a confident canine companion in his new home to follow and learn from. He has been doing wonderfully with his foster siblings and takes comfort from having his furry friends around. And cats? He LOVES them! Onyx has even befriended the cat in his foster home and is amazing with cats.He is doing great with his house training and is making good progress with crate training. The leash is still scary for him, so his foster family is working patiently with him. Because he is nervous and isn’t ready to confidently walk on leash yet, a securely fenced yard is a must.Onyx may need a little extra time, patience and encouragement, but he has so much love waiting inside that beautiful, shy boy. He deserves a family who will give him the chance to discover just how wonderful life can be. If you have a confident dog, a securely fenced yard, patience and lots of love to give, Onyx may be the boy you’ve been waiting for.

Story
Hi!  My name is Addie and I am looking for a forever home.  I was picked up as a stray by animal control and taken to a very scary place called a shelter where, after my hold time was up I was placed on something bad called "the list".  I wasn't getting much attention at all, probably 'cause I was a super scared girl and just hid in the back of my kennel, and being all black I just kind of melted away.  Fortunate for me, a volunteer with a small local rescue saw me and pulled me before anything bad happened to me and then contacted BCAA to see if they could help me and they said yes.  I am about 18months old and weigh around 55lbs and have a beautiful shiny, black coat.  I'm still pretty shy and skittish but my foster parents are working hard on getting me to come out of my shell and I so want to be loved and am looking for a quiet home where someone will be patient with me and give me time to learn to trust; it would even help if there was another confident dog in the home that I could learn the ropes from as I love other dogs (I've even ignored those things called cats).  Another thing that will help me is treats ... I love mealtime and treats.  I have done pretty good in my crate with just a couple of accidents.  Because lots of things still scare me, I'm not the best on leash but with some more training (treats will also help), I know I can learn to walk on leash with you  If you think you would like to learn more about 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
Meet Buddy, a beautiful one-year-old boy with the saddest, most soulful eyes and the gentlest heart you could ever hope to meet. Weighing about 50 pounds, his long legs, slender build, and gorgeous coloring make him striking, but it’s his sweet, tender spirit that truly shines. Buddy is house trained, crate trained, quiet, and wonderfully well-mannered.Buddy is still learning that the world is a safe and loving place. Each day, with patience and encouragement, he grows a little braver and lets more of his precious personality shine through. He absolutely adores other dogs and takes great comfort in their companionship, so he must have a playful canine friend in his forever home. He is fantastic with dogs of all sizes and will thrive in a home with a securely fenced 6-foot yard where he can run and play.In his foster home, the youngest family member lovingly nicknamed him “Buddy” because, in his words, “we’re best buddies.” The name could not suit him better. Buddy is incredibly gentle with children, happily soaking up hugs and cuddles, and he doesn’t mind being picked up. He has not a mean bone in his body and completely ignores cats.Buddy has recently discovered the joy of toys and now delights in carrying around stuffies—though sturdy toys and chew bones last much longer! He is doing wonderfully with leash walking and continues to blossom every day. For the special family willing to offer him patience, kindness, and love, Buddy will reward them with a bond that is truly unforgettable.
