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
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

Story
Harlem is a beautiful 2½-year-old girl who found herself at Animal Control through no fault of her own when her family’s living circumstances changed. This bright, funny, and spirited young dog has so much love and personality to share. Harlem is incredibly smart and eager to please—she learns new things in a flash and thrives when given attention and structure. During her short time in a foster home, she was an absolute gem—crate trained, housebroken, and affectionate with her people. Sadly, being back in a kennel has been very stressful for her, and it’s clear she longs to be back in a loving home where she can relax and shine. Because of her spunky, playful energy, Harlem would probably do best in a home with older children who can match her enthusiasm and enjoy her fun-loving personality. Harlem is fully vetted and ready to start her next chapter. She deserves a family who will see her for the wonderful, loyal companion she is and give her the stability and love she’s been missing. If you are interested in Harlem, please go to bfdaaa.com to complete an application October 16, 2025, 8:46 pm

Cleo is a sweet-natured 2 year old dog with a gentle and loving demeanor.

Cleo is a sensitive soul who craves love and affection, and she will form a strong bond with her chosen humans. Despite her initial shyness, Cleo is a bundle of energy, always ready for an adventure and eager to explore the world around her. Cleo would greatly benefit from consistent training and positive reinforcement. Her timidity can be overcome with patience and gentle guidance. Basic obedience training, including socialization with other dogs and exposure to different environments, will help build her confidence and enhance her overall well-being. With the right training approach and plenty of patience, Cleo will thrive and become a well-behaved companion. Cleo is selective when it comes to other dogs. While she may show a preference for some male dogs, it's important to proceed with caution and introduce her to other canines gradually and under controlled circumstances. She may benefit from ongoing socialization and training to help her develop better social skills with other dogs. With the right introductions and guidance, Cleo can potentially form positive relationships with select canine companions. Cleo requires an active home that can provide her with plenty of physical exercise and mental stimulation. She would benefit from daily walks, runs, or playtime in a securely fenced yard. An owner who enjoys outdoor activities and is committed to providing regular exercise will be the perfect match for Cleo. Additionally, a calm and patient household with experienced dog owners who understand her needs and can help her overcome her timidity would be ideal. Overall, Cleo is a sweet and loving dog with a timid yet high-energy nature. With the right training, socialization, and an active and understanding home, she will thrive and become an incredibly loyal and devoted companion. If you're prepared to provide the training, exercise, and love that Cleo needs, you'll be rewarded with a gentle and energetic companion who will bring joy to your life every day.
