My story

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

Sky is a nervous little 7 year old mixed breed looking for just the right quiet understanding home.
She's been loved in a home, but sadly didn't adjust well to the new baby and with her scared and easily startled nature it wasn't a safe or comfortable situation for anyone, especially her. So she's in search of a calm adult forever child-free home where she can have her own room or space on the occasions children or groups of strangers might visit. Once she bonds she's a sweet silly loyal girl who does best with just her chosen one or 2 people. Parties and crowds aren't her thing, she would much prefer to nap on her bed while you toss her some of your popcorn and watch movies together. She enjoys car rides and hikes and walks in quiet areas. She's more nervous of larger dogs but can get along with calmer smaller dogs and even cats with proper intros and supervision- anything and anyone new is something scary to be barked at at first until she's shown they aren't a threat. She LOVES food, and is quickly won over with some cheese, chicken, dog treats, pizza, ice cream...pretty much anything. Food = friend, and the best way to win her over and get her to be less afraid is through her stomach (and definitely do NOT take away her food- she is gentle taking her treats, but once they are in her possession she's not going to share).
If you live a quiet introverted lifestyle and would like to help our little Sky get back into a loving home instead of the scary shelter, please submit an application for an appointment to meet her

More about this shelter

Ramapo-Bergen Animal Refuge, Inc. is founded on the belief that all animals have a natural right to humane treatment including proper care and safe shelter. Due to overpopulation, there are insufficient homes for most cats and dogs. Some are lucky enough to find temporary shelter and a few even find permanent homes. However it is a devastating fact that the majority are either euthanized or forced to chance life without shelter.

To support our belief and to relieve the unnecessary suffering of animals, we shall:
1.Extend every effort to find, evaluate, and secure good adoptive homes for animals in our care.
2.Provide animals with medical services and behavior therapy to the extent of our ability.
3.Adhere to a “no-kill” policy: animals shall not be euthanized for the purpose of providing space for new animals.
4.Adhere to a 100% spay and neuter policy.
5.Maintain continuing humane education programs and in particular to schools.
