Story

Hi! My name is Maggie and I am looking for a forever home. Whoever said small dogs don't end up in the shelter, well I'm proof they do as I was picked up as a stray by animal control and taken to one, and let me tell you they are pretty scary places. Unfortunately, when no one came to claim me and my stray hold was up, I was getting passed over as I surely didn't look (or smell) my best as my coat was all matted from being on my own for so long. Fortunately, BCAA heard about me and said they would help me ... yeah! The vet thinks I'm only about 18mos old and weigh just a tad under 13lbs. The first thing I got upon arriving at my foster's was a groom where I had to be mostly all shaved down, but boy do I feel and look so much better! With that out of the way, my personality has really come out and my foster parents says I'm just a super happy little girl. I have gotten along with the other small dogs I have met although I really prefer the most to be with you. I have done really well in my crate without any accidents and which I have shared with my friend Molly without any issues and we love to wrestle and play; we also eat side by side with no problem as we both love our food so finish about the same time. I was a little hesitant at first about that thing called a leash but with a little practice I'm getting much better as it means I get to be with you. If you would like to learn more about me or 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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Lola is with our partner rescue down south and can come to NJ if an approved foster or adopter steps up for her. Meet Lola, the delightful Shih Tzu mix who is equal parts spunky and sweet! This little bundle of energy has a personality as charming as her soulful eyes and fluffy coat. Lola loves to spend her days exploring new sights and smells, enjoying bursts of playful energy, and curling up for cozy snuggle sessions. She’s intelligent, curious, and fiercely loyal—always eager to be part of the action but equally content having her quiet moments to herself. Whether she’s befriending children, cats, or fellow pups, Lola’s affectionate nature ensures she wins hearts wherever she goes. Lola is looking for a home where she can thrive as the loving, independent, and playful spirit she is. She would thrive with a family who shares her love for discovering all life has to offer, from playful outings to quiet evenings at home. Whether it's a busy household with kids or a calmer environment, Lola adapts beautifully, as long as she’s surrounded by love and companionship. If you’re ready to welcome a curious, loyal companion who fills your days with sunshine and tail wags, Lola is patiently waiting to meet you. Don’t miss the chance to make this wonderful pup part of your life! Lola is spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccines. She just completed her heartworm treatment and has a clean bill of health. Her adoption donation is $500. Adopting a dog is a commitment that will require annual veterinary care at a minimum, training, exercise, enrichment, etc. Pet care is not cheap or easy and adopters should consider the costs, time, and training prior to adoption. After all these dogs have been through, they each deserve a loving, committed home.

Story

If you had seen Buttacup when he came in to the shelter you wouldn`t recognize him. Upon arrival Butta had to be medically shaved down because he was incased in dirty matted hair. He did have a little run in with the officer who captured him and had to go on to a bite quarantine, but that bite was absolutely attributed to fear and horrible pain from his matted coat. His quarantine is over and this happy go lucky man is ready to live his best life! We cannot adopt him to a home with kids because he does have a bite history now, but he is sweet. He seems open to meeting like size dogs unsure about bigger dogs, but we can try a meet and greet if you already have a dog, Cats are unknown. Obviously, his coat will need maintenance so his future home should be prepared for that. He loves treats, seems housebroken and walks nicely on leash. Come on in and meet this handsome boy and show him what it`s like to have a caring family.To apply, visit our County website https://www.burlingtoncountynj.gov/1446/Available-for-Adoption, to see what pets are available, noting animal`s name and/or ID number and submit your online application here: https://burlingtoncountynj.formstack.com/forms/adoption_application (copy and paste into your web browser)
