My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Newark!

We rescued Newark from Baldwin Park Animal Care Center on August 20th. He is 8 years old and weighs 18.5 lbs. Newark is a cute and funny guy, and he doesn't mind being held and cuddled. He enjoys going on our weekly FFF hikes, especially for the sniffing and exploring opportunities. Newark politely sits for treats!

Newark recently represented FFF at a community pet adoption event, and he was a rock star! He rode quietly in the car on the way there and back, wanted to make the rounds at the event to meet people, and enjoyed the Kahoots tent because they had good snacks!

Newark is a sweet and friendly boy and loves people. He would make a wonderful companion whether you want to hang out and watch movies or to go on long walks. He's quite the catch!

Newark spent time in a Foster home and earned rave reviews for being a super sweet houseguest. His Foster Mom reports:

"Newark is such a sweet, calm and adorable boy! He does not react towards other dogs, cats or any animal, which I really liked because walks were great!

Newark loves to snuggle and also enjoys curling up with his stuffed animal (he got attached to a stuffed bear) on the other side of the couch. He never barked when I was around and only whined when he needed to go outside or when he knew mealtime was coming up. A funny thing I noticed about him was he really enjoyed hiding his treats for later, I found some in my slippers, in a shoe, and behind my vacuum cleaner, I thought it was adorable and hilarious!

Newark is also very polite when waiting for pets and treats, he only jumped up on me, especially when I would come home from work, when he was really excited to see me. Newark cried and whined when home alone, so would probably do best not living in an apartment.

Newark LOVES people!! He also did great when he met my landlord's 2-year-old daughter and was very sweet and gentle. He did not jump on her but chilled while she pet him. I did notice he gravitates more to women than to men, but he warmed up to my brother and boyfriend pretty quickly

Newark loves to be around his person and will love you with his whole heart. He will nap with you on the couch, go on long walks with you and also follow you everywhere!"

Newark is back on-site and ready for a forever home. Drop by to meet him any day of the week between 10am and 3pm!
