Story

CASSIE IS A GREAT PUPPY LOOKING FOR LOVE! Meet this beautiful young girl — an 8-month-old Dutch Shepherd/Malinois mix with a zest for life and a personality as bright as her smile! This happy-go-lucky pup was recently surrendered due to changes in her family’s circumstances, but she hasn’t let that dull her spirit one bit. She is full of playful energy, curiosity, and affection, and is looking for an active home ready to embrace all the fun that comes with a smart working-breed mix. Whether it’s hiking, long walks, training classes, agility, or adventures in the yard, this girl is ready to be your enthusiastic sidekick. As many young Malinois mixes are, she’s incredibly intelligent and would thrive with structure, consistency, and obedience training. She truly wants to learn and connect with her people — she just needs a family willing to channel her energy in positive ways. She has shown interest in other dogs and may enjoy a canine companion, but because she can be very exuberant, proper introductions will be important. Given her energy and playful enthusiasm, she would likely do best with older children who can comfortably keep up with her lively personality. If you’ve been searching for a loyal, athletic, fun-loving companion who will keep you laughing and moving, this sweet girl may be your perfect match. She’s ready for her second chance — and her forever adventure. Please apply to foster or adopt Cassie at bfdaaa.com, and if your application is a possible match, a volunteer will get back to you shortly. May 12, 2026, 10:12 pm

Story

Meet Aries. This pretty little girl is looking for a new home. Her pregnant German Shepherd mother was brought to a local animal control. Luckily, she went to foster care, where she gave birth a week later. Her mother has found her forever home. Now it is Aries' turn. Please help Aries find her forever family. ***You must provide a vet reference for a current or past pet you have/had.*** We do NOT ship our animals. All adoptive families must travel to us to meet their adoptive dog/cat. Applicants must live within a 2 hour radius from Sparta/Andover (07871/07821). Please understand that we are an animal shelter and thus unable to say whether the dogs are housebroken as they are not in homes. If you are interested in adopting, we encourage you to please submit an application on our website today so that we can try and process and pre-approve any potential adopters prior to our next adoption event. PLEASE USE THIS LINK TO SUBMIT AN ADOPTION APPLICATION. WE ONLY ACCEPT ADOPTION APPLICATIONS THROUGH OUR WEBSITE. ANY OTHERS WILL NOT BE PROCESSED. Application link here: http://www.oscaranimalrescue.org/oscar-1-application.html Aries's adoption fee is $550. For puppies that have not been able to be neutered/spayed yet (due to being too young or small) we charge $550 with the condition that when they are fixed $50 is refunded. This covers all their age-appropriate shots, microchipping and vetting. **If you are coming to an adoption event to see a certain dog/cat, please email ahead of time to make sure that dog/cat will be there that day. Please email 1-2 days before the event, as some animals are placed during the week and our list is constantly changing.
