Story
Jovie Female Maltese/Poodle Mix 7 years old 7 pounds Health issues: Diabetic (managed) Good with dogs Unknown with cats Calm, gentle, older children only Jovie is an adorable, gentle girl who was used for breeding for 7 years before she was surrendered to Finding Shelter because she was no longer productive. Jovie was shy, scared, not feeling well (she was diagnosed and treated for diabetes), and yet she still found the courage to adapt to life indoors with new people. Jovie is incredibly sweet, her diabetes is controlled with daily insulin, she is happy and loves to cuddle on dog beds, and she seeks human attention now. We know Jovie has so much love to give to an experienced family who will provide the best care while allowing her to continue to blossom. Are you the one?

Story
Hi!  My name is Elliott and I am looking for a forever home that will keep me safe and loved.  I was picked up as a stray and taken to a really scary place called a shelter where my microchip identified my owners.  When they were called they said they were on vacation and had left me in the backyard by myself 5 days earlier, they didn't know how I got out and when they got back, they came in and signed me over 'cause they said they just didn't want me anymore.  Fortunately, BCAA heard about me, said they would help me and got me out just in the nick of time 'cause as an owner surrender I was immediately put on that bad thing called "the list". Best guess as to my breed mix is possibly maltese mixed with some shihtzu; whatever I am, my foster mom says I'm super cute with a personality to match and a cute underbite.  Even though I'm thought to be about 6years old, I have lots of spunk and I'm past all of that puppy foolishness; and at around 15lbs, I will fit just about anywhere. I have gotten along with all of the other dogs I have met as well as ignored those things called cats.  I've done well in my crate without any accidents, barking or tearing up of any bedding although I would prefer to be out with you.  And once I trust that you are not going to hurt me, I've done pretty good on a leash.  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
Aiden’s a 12yo 11lb Maltese mix. He’s dog friendly and is older kid friendly. He doesn’t like dogs or in her personal space unless he feels comfortable with them. He is pee pad trained and will wear a Belly Band. He’d be good in a secure fenced yard but might need his person out there with him and when going for walks he tends to bark at other dogs. He’s sweet, loyal, attention-seeking, enjoys short walks, vocal about his wants and likes to be with his person snuggling next to them or on their lap. Aiden MUST have a home, where someone is home often, so not to be left for long periods of time along with people who will give him the time and attention he seeks. If your home DOES NOT fit this please DO NOT put an application in. We will not call anyone not a fit. Also, we will be concentrating on local to foster applications 1st since home checks and meets with all humans and animals in home is needed at meet. Our fosters are all volunteers so aren’t always able to travel too far. Aiden is neutered, vaccinated, hw negative and microchipped. Currently in Phila, PA. If your home fits the bio and MUST haves and you’re interested in applying to adopt please do so at www.tprescue.org

Story
Casper’s a 9yo 4lb Maltese mix. He’s good with laid back dogs not dogs in her face, cats and older kids. He’s housebroken when kept on a schedule and will wear a Belly Band. He loves his fosters secure fenced yard and is not good for walks since gets out of every harness his foster has tried. He is a bit of a barker so an apartment would not be a good option. Casper MUST have a home, where someone is home often, so not to be left for long periods of time, a secure fenced in yard, be allowed on furniture, sleep with his people. If your home DOES NOT fit this please DO NOT put an application in. We will not call anyone not a fit. Also, we will be concentrating on local to foster applications 1st since home checks and meets with all humans and animals in home is needed at meet. Our fosters are all volunteers so aren’t always able to travel too far. Casper is also on a special diet as he has a sensitive belly as well as a cough from a collapsing trachea. He is neutered, vaccinated, HW negative and microchipped. Currently in Jamison, PA. If your home fits the bio and MUST haves and you’re interested in applying to adopt please do so at www.tprescue.org
