Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Astro arrived on January 12th weighing in at 25 pounds. He is 1-1/2 year old. He adjusted to the foster home quickly. The cat was the first friend he met and had no reaction to him. He let the cat play with his wagging tail while he ate. After meeting the cat Astro then met our dogs. They introduced themselves nicely and then went out to play in the yard. When it was time to come in he followed the crew in. Astro went into his crate and slept through the night. I actually haven't heard him bark yet. Astro seems to have a very laid back personality. He walked well on the leash although he was a little unsure of it at first. He also rode very well in the car. I almost forgot he was in there. Astro is also enjoying the attention he is getting the from the kids in the house as well. He is mixed with a smaller unknown breed. See video attached. This video was taken while Astro was in the shelter. We fell in love with that wagging tail instantly! This boy is a LOVE BUG! As we get to know this sweet one better, we will update the description. If you are interested in seeing additional photos, please friend Sheryl's Den on Facebook. www.facebook.com/sheryls.den If you are interested in adopting, please complete and submit an application. Be sure to list the dog's names that you are interested in on the first question within the application. Please be sure your application is complete. The 1st question asks which dogs you are interested in. To see additional dogs, see our adoptable pet list at www.petfinder.com/shelters/NJ518.html
This animal is currently fostered in a private home. Our rescue is 100% foster home based. We do not have a shelter or kennel. They are cared for by a loving family until adopted. Each pup has had their first vet exam, a shot, and de-worming, etc We make sure they have no fleas prior to going into our foster homes. They are fostered out of the shelter at least two weeks or more prior to adopting to monitor health. We take their care seriously!
Please note that the adoption appointments will be scheduled after your application is approved. Once adopted, feel free to change the dog's name. You do not have to keep the name listed in this post.
#####PLEASE BE SURE YOUR APPLICATION IS COMPLETE OR IT WILL NOT BE PROCESSED. PLEASE BE SURE TO LIST THE NAME AND NUMBER OF THE VET'S OFFICE THAT CARED FOR YOUR PRIOR OR CURRENT PET. #####
IF YOU ADOPT a pup and live in the State of New Jersey we do have low cost spaying and neutering at very affordable prices. Kindly inquire upon an approved application. We also have an affordable program for out of state adopters.
We also offer low cost micro-chipping! For a low fee of only 20.00 we will have your dog microchipped. You will be able to register the microchip for a low cost fee of only 10.99 at the time of the adoption appointment. The 10.99 fee is a ONE time registration fee. The microchip is for the lifetime of the dog. You have the ability to update the contact information at NO cost. You will also have a one year membership to Home Again. This is a big savings for you.
***** If you're interested in fostering we could always use the help to save more animals. A crate, food, and medical care are provided. The animals are picked up in West Milford, NJ and brought back here for adoption. The time commitment is two to two and a half weeks. Please email letting us know what town you live in and we will forward information to you. *****
