Story

Penny is incredibly sweet and loving, super playful and funny. She LOVES to play fetch, is crate-trained and housebroken. She would prefer to be your one and only pet but is being fostered with other dogs and has adjusted well. Truth be told she really loves the company of her humans. Due to her need to play and be a little rambunctious, a home with older children is best. Penny is around 9-10 years old and is fully vetted. Her favorite activity is playing fetch in the back yard alone or with someone!!! Penny would make a great couch companion in those cold winter nights. She may take over the couch, hog the pillows and blankets and steal your popcorn, but that doesn’t matter....right???

Story

Meet Lovebug, a stunning 3-year-old American Bulldog mix whose name perfectly reflects her sweet and affectionate nature. Rescued from a local New Jersey shelter, Lovebug is a joyful soul who adores everyone she meets. She has a zest for life that’s as big as her heart, and her playful energy is bound to bring a smile to your face. Lovebug is good on leash and enjoys quiet, short walks where she can take in her surroundings at a gentle pace. She would absolutely love a fenced yard where she can romp and play to her heart’s content. She takes treats gently, is eager to please, and thrives on human connection. A home with older kids is preferred due to her playful nature and her tendency to think she’s a lap dog! Lovebug does have a medical condition that requires special care. Despite two surgeries to address her challenges, she sometimes struggles with breathing and regurgitation when she gets overexcited. She’s currently on a low level of medication that helps keep her calm, and this works successfully about 90% of the time. Because of this, she needs a peaceful home with minimal commotion to help her stay relaxed and comfortable. She would do best as the only pet in the household, where she can soak up all the love and attention. Lovebug is ready to find a dedicated and patient family who will give her the calm, nurturing environment she needs to thrive. One interaction with this amazing girl, and you’ll see why her name is Lovebug. She’s ready to fill your life with endless love and loyalty—are you ready to be her forever family?

Story

Koda is a stunning Lab mix who was rescued with his sister Molly from an overcrowded puppy mill situation. Koda was extremely shy when rescued but is now blossoming into a big mush!!! Koda is about one year old and absolutely loves to be outside running in the yard and playing with toys. He is currently learning to walk on a leash and is doing very well. He loves other dogs and would do extremely well in a home with another super-friendly, confident and loving dog who can show him the ropes of home life. Koda is currently in a foster home with his sister but they will NOT be adopted together. Siblings do not do well together when they mature. He lives for the butt scratches and belly rubs and will roll over any chance he gets in the hopes of getting all the pets. He is crate-trained and potty trained. Koda is still slightly shy when meeting people and doesn't do well with commotion so an adult only home or with older kids will be required If you are interested in Koda, please go to bfdaaa.com to complete an application.

Story

Sweet senior Betty has come such a long way. When she was first rescued by Best Friend Dog & Animal Adoption Inc., she was in heartbreaking condition—covered in infections and in desperate need of care. Thanks to the dedication and love of her rescuers, Betty was nursed back to health, and today she is thriving in her foster home, ready to find the forever family she has always deserved. Betty is the picture of good manners—she’s housebroken, crate-trained, and sleeps peacefully through the night in her own bed with her favorite blankies. She doesn’t climb on furniture but stays close to her people, offering warmth and companionship. She has also learned to take treats gently and even knows how to give a friendly “high five”! Betty would prefer to be the queen of her castle as the only pet in the home, soaking up the love and attention she so richly deserves. What matters most to Betty is being with the people she loves, sharing her gentle spirit and loyal heart. Her sweetness shines through in everything she does. She greets everyone with kindness, rides beautifully in the car, and loves her spa days—relaxing in the bath, enjoying the blow dryer, and melting into her coconut oil massages. A yard would be greatly appreciated, where Betty can relax and soak up the world around her in peace. She would also love a home where her person or family is around more often than not, since she thrives on companionship. After such a rough start, Betty’s resilience and sweetness are nothing short of inspiring. She is patiently waiting in Cranford, NJ with Best Friend Dog & Animal Adoption Inc. (bfdaaa.com) for the forever family who will give her the love-filled life she’s been waiting for. Please apply to adopt Betty at bfdaaa.com If your application is a possible match, a volunteer will get back to you shortly.October 8, 2025, 10:21 am
