Story
Eddie is a 26 lb 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. He is fully house trained and has never had an accident inside the house. He typically waits until 7 am before needing to go out.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
Cody is 2 years old, his birthday is Aug 3. 2024. He is a super sweet, energetic, fun loving dog. He loves learning and can do multiple tricks, including using a few buttons to talk. He is very smart. However, unfortunately, I have had a traumatic experience with a different dog (retired service dog got loose and attacked me) and I thought I was fine about it. Until Cody realized that growling completely terrifies me. He is so smart, he now uses it against me whenever he doesn't want to do something. That's why I marked behavioral issues. But, he has never bitten me, he has never attacked me, he simply uses that fear against me to push me around, so I don't think he is actually aggressive, I'm just a scaredy cat. Vet said so as well. He is on flea medicine, but he won't let me bath him so he is a bit scruffy and bothered while the medicine kicks in. I love him and am devastated, but I can't keep living in fear of my own dog.

Story
Luna is a 3-year-old, 25-pound petite chunky girl with the most adorable little face! We can definitely see some Frenchie or Boston Terrier in that sweet face, but her breed mix is unknown. Luna is such a little love bug! She absolutely loves to snuggle and will happily be your little shadow. More than anything, she just wants to be close to her people and soak up all the love she can get. She does well with other dogs and is happy to have some furry friends around. She also LOVES being outside and is enjoying getting out and exploring. She is still working on her leash skills and needs some help with potty training, so her forever family will need to be patient and continue helping her learn.Luna is a sweet, affectionate girl who is ready to leave her past behind and find the people who will love her as much as she loves them. If you’re looking for a little shadow who will happily curl up next to you and keep you company, Luna may be your girl!

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 Percy! This gentleman is approximately 4 years old and 94 pounds. This German Shepard is looking for a quiet place to decompress and receive a little extra direction and training. He would thrive with a firm handler. Percy has higher anxiety. He doesn’t quite like going into his crate and will growl and hide on occasion. He did lunge when being removed from a room, and he has nipped two times being put in his crate. Because of this, he will need a firm handler who is able to offer training for him! He also does not love the rain… who does? It makes him a little anxious! He is housetrained. He is not so much interested in toys, but he loves hanging underneath the desk while you work with a bone. Although he pulls slightly on a leash, he would do great with a little direction! He would do best in a quiet home with no children due to his history.. He is a solo dolo kinda guy. Looking to be your only and only while he receives training to reinforce structure and behavior.

Story
Meet this sweet little girl! At about 5 months old and  and only 15 pounds, we feel she  may be a Whippet–Lab mix, though her breed is a guess. She was found alone beside a highway in the middle of nowhere, and she bravely went right up to the person who stopped to help her.  She’s affectionate, loves to snuggle, and likes staying close to her foster person. She’s doing great with the foster’s cats and gets along with other dogs. When meeting a new dog, she may be a little hesitant and give a small growl at first, but once she has a moment to settle in, she’s comfortable.She’s nearly house-trained, with only a couple of accidents. She sleeps in her crate at night; she may whine briefly when she first goes in, then settles down. And if you’re looking for a bed snuggler, she’d be delighted to cuddle up with you!This loving girl has already won over her foster family and they can't say enough about her.  . She’s ready to find a caring forever home where she can share all that sweetness.Interested in adopting this pet?Click here for BCAA's on-line Application!
