Story

Lola’s a 1yo (DOB 4/13/25) 9lb Schnauzer/poodle mix. She’s dog and kid 12+ friendly. She’s housebroken when kept on a schedule, pee pad and crate trained, but prefers the door left open when you are home. She needs time to warm up to new environments but once she does she is a love bug. She loves being in her fosters secure fenced in yard to play with the resident dogs and is good on harness leashed walks. She likes to play with toys, other dogs, cuddle with her people and be with them as much as possible. She is a barker so would need a single-family home so not to disturb the neighbors. Lola’s foster requires an active family, where someone is home often, so not to be left for long periods of time, a secure fenced in yard, another young playful dog, along with leadership, consistency, structure and to continue working on training. If your home DOES NOT meet these requirement’s please DO NOT put an application in. We will not call anyone whose home does not meet the needed requirements. 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. Lola as all dogs should have at least 2 weeks in their new home with just their people who live in the home and to not have people over for at least 2 weeks. Dogs need time to settle in and adjust to their new people and environment first so they can learn to trust them first. Lola is spayed, vaccinated, hw negative and microchipped. Currently in Merion Station, PA. If your home meets the needed requirements and you’re interested in applying to adopt please do so at www.tprescue.org

Story

We got lots of sad news this week. 😔 Taking in so many seniors, we are used to it. But 3 of our newest SWEETEST seniors all had some very disappointing test results this week and are looking for hospice placements for whatever time they have left. While we are sad to know what is coming, dogs cope much better with a terminal diagnosis. They don’t worry about the future. They only know if they feel comfortable, happy, safe, and loved in the moment. And right now these special dogs all do. They are looking for homes that will help them enjoy each day as long as they are still happy and comfortable- and maybe they will even help you enjoy and appreciate each day just a little bit more too! They are all dog-friendly and would be happy in multipet homes (but not a requirement). While we can’t predict how much time they have, we are aiming for quality over quantity… but have had many dogs with grim prognosis’s far outlive expectations. Once settled in a loving home, they want to keep going as long as possible! Email njwoof@cs.com to meet any of these special dogs in Northern NJ: Elroy the schnauzer! This dignified handsome senior gentleman was abandoned and never reclaimed… dumped at the time he most needed his people. What looks like a small harmless lump in his back end is actually an aggressive anal gland carcinoma, too large and invasive at this point to be removed. He has some other possible lesions elsewhere as well and a testicular tumor from never having been neutered, but the butt tumor will probably cause issues first and eventually leave him unable to go to the bathroom. Right now he’s eating well and doesn’t know anything is wrong at all, and deserves whatever quality time he can get with palliative care. Since COVID-19, we are no longer holding our Sunday adoption events until further notice, but we are scheduling meet and greet appointments with a specific dog or dogs at our meeting spots in Northern NJ. To streamline adoptions, all communication before, during, and after the adoption process is done through email only: we have limited volunteers able to return phone calls. Submit an application from our website www.secondchance.petfinder.com to speed up the adoption process and email any questions to us at njwoof@cs.com. Please check your email regularly for next steps. All our dogs reside in foster care in Northern NJ until adoption and we do not have a central shelter location. We are a small all-volunteer organization focused on rescuing local dogs from area shelters, as well as accepting some surrenders and puppy mill rescues.

Story

We have been on a very expensive wild spending spree at the vet this week with lots of new medically-challenged emergency intakes 🤯. Things are bad right now in the shelter/rescue world. Really bad. None of us are ok 😔 We are still catching up on getting to know all our new little friends- some young, many seniors, some likely hospice cases. But all deserving of a fresh start. First up, meet Maya! Her owners were moving that day (of course) and showed up at the pound with this skinny matted blind 10 year old ragamuffin they said was a purebred poodle. She had not been to a vet in a while and was eating well but not gaining weight… her bloodwork and urine test showed she is diabetic! So we are grateful she was surrendered just in time before crashing without treatment. She’s a sweetheart, loves attention and cries to be picked up and put on your bed. A very good girl for her twice daily insulin injections with her meals, goes to the bathroom outside when taken out in time, and is fine with other gentle dogs who won’t get mad if she accidentally bumps into them. She has a libre sensor and we are working on getting her stabilized and regulated and will soon be looking for a permanent home committed to her ongoing care- she is otherwise pretty healthy and happy and hopefully will have many years to be loved and spoiled. Email njwoof@cs.com if you would like to open your home to our sweet Maya Magoo 👀 Your ongoing support during this very difficult time in the world makes a world of difference for special little souls like Maya who would fall through the cracks in the local shelter systems. Thank you for standing with us to be a part of the solution at this critical time 💜 Since COVID-19, we are no longer holding our Sunday adoption events until further notice, but we are scheduling meet and greet appointments with a specific dog or dogs at our meeting spots in Northern NJ.

Story

Hi! My name is Dolly and I am looking for a forever home. I was picked up as a stray and taken in by a small rescue. I was in in pretty bad shape but I did have a microchip and they were able to track down my owner. Unfortunately, my owner had some pretty serious health concerns and ended up surrendering me to the rescue. A volunteer with that rescue then contacted BCAA to see if they could help me and they said yes! From the paperwork supplied by my previous owner, it says I am a miniature schnauzer. Well, I know that's kind of hard to see in my pictures 'cause with all the bad mats I had when I was picked up I had to be shaved completely down, but don't worry 'cause my hair will grow back in no time! My foster mom says to make sure you notice my pretty blue eyes as it's one of my most striking features! I am around 5 years old so I'm past all of that puppy foolishness. I also am a little on the overweight side at 15.40lbs but don't worry, my foster mom has me on a diet and said to tell you I love going for walks which will help my get my svelt figure back in no time!. I have gotten along with all of the other dogs I have met and haven't bothered the cats. I have done pretty good in my crate without any accidents or tearing up of my bedding; however, I would really prefer to be out with you & will let you know not to forget about me if I see or hear you. 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

Meet the "Bridgerton" puppies: 2 boys (Anthony & Benedict) and 3 girls (Daphne, Eloise & Francesca). They were born to Molly who is also available for adoption. Molly looks like a Schnauzer x Wired Haired Dachshund. Dad is thought to be a roaming neighborhood Lab mix. Molly was a good mom to her pups and now it's time for everyone to find a new home. They are friendly and playful and are good with other dogs. We do not know what they think of cats. The puppies are about 9 weeks old. Anthony has salt & pepper fur and the black patch over his eye. He is the biggest of the litter at 11 pounds. ***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 "Bridgerton" puppy'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.
