My story

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

A baker’s dozen? We’d certainly love 13 more of this sweet guy! Meet Baker, the precious 4-month-old Chocolate Labrador Retriever mix who is so ready to spend his days by your side!

Baker and his littermates were rescued from a kill shelter in Swainsboro, Georgia and have spent their short lives longing for the kindness and love they so deserve. Baker currently weighs about 20 pounds and has plenty more growing to do.

Baker is very much a lovebug. He adores getting your undivided attention and snuggling in close to let you pet him and scratch behind those big, adorable ears. Baker can be a bit shy initially when meeting new people, but is quick to warm up to his new friends, especially when there's another dog around. Baker would love a canine sibling who can help show him the ropes of life, and spend lots of time cuddling or playing together.

Baker would do great in a home with other dogs, cats, and kids, and he would happily join in all the play sessions, movie nights, and sleepovers. You may just find him in the kitchen whipping up some cookies from time to time. What are you waiting for? Be his dream-maker and come adopt Baker!

Baker is neutered, up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations, and microchipped.

**Please note: completing an "adoption inquiry" via Adopt-a-pet/Petfinder does not constitute an HFG Dog Rescue adoption application. All adoption applications must be completed on www.hfgdr.org**

HFG Dog Rescue is a 100 percent foster-based rescue located in Berkeley Heights, NJ with a sister location, The Almost Home Wellness Center, in Aiken, SC. All of our dogs are rescued from kill shelters in SC + GA and once ready for adoption live in loving local NJ foster homes until they find forever families of their own. Our fosters begin basic training, housebreaking, and leash-walking skills to help pair you with the perfect pup for life!

In order to apply for adoption and set up an individual meet and greet with one of our dogs, please visit us at www.hfgdr.org.

Additional adoption info

Are you interested in adopting one of our rescued puppies or dogs? Great! At Home for Good Dog Rescue, we strive to find you a perfect canine match. In order to do so, we need to learn a little bit about you and your lifestyle. We don’t mean to pry or be nosey, but we must ensure that our rescues are being placed in the best possible home or situation.

The following is important information regarding our adoption process, policies, and procedures. Please read each point over thoroughly before submitting your application.

1. All potential adopters must fill out an online adoption application. We have volunteers who work from home to process your application. Please be patient. The application process typically takes 2-5 days. Please fill out the application completely and honestly in order to ensure that your application will be completed in a timely manner.

2. Our volunteers will be contacting all of your references, including your Veterinarian (if applicable) and landlord (if applicable), so please notify them prior to submitting your application to speed up the process. Be sure to check your email, including Spam folder, for a response from Home for Good. All communications regarding your application must go through email.

3. Any pets currently in your household must be up to date with vaccines, including Rabies, and be seen for annual wellness visits. We DO NOT adopt dogs out to homes with un-altered animals.

4. All dogs placed by HFGD are to be house dogs. NO dog will be placed in a home where they will be outside-only dogs or farm dogs. HFGD reserves the right to schedule a home visit to ensure the safety of our rescues.

5. Approved applications are valid for 6 months. After 6 months, you must re-submit an application. This applies to previous adopters as well.

6. Please keep in mind that HFGD may have already received applications on the dog you are interested in. For this reason, the dog you are interested in may not be available once your application is finished being processed.

7. Upon approval and acceptance, you may schedule a Meet and Greet via email only with the dog of your choice, subject to availability. Meet and Greets will be scheduled in the order they are requested. If the dog you applied for is no longer available or is not the right match for your home, HFGD will work with you to find another dog that will be a great fit for you and your family.

8. Please be advised that your entire household, including any canines or caregivers, must be present for the Meet and Greet. HFGD does not allow adoptions as gifts or surprises. The entire household must meet the dog and be in agreement to bringing the dog into the home. NO EXCEPTIONS.

9. Approved Applications do not guarantee adoption. A meet and greet is the final step in the placement of our dogs. HFGD wants to ensure that it is the right fit for all humans and canines involved.
