Story
Rey has been our beloved pet of 6 years, when we adopted him from a shelter. He is originally from Alabama and made the journey to Philly with his sister via the rescue. He is 7 years old but still very energetic and loves a good long walk every day. He also loves to snuggle under the covers and to chew bones for hours on end. Rey is 50% chihuahua, 25% dachshund, and 25% terrier, per his DNA test, although most folks think he is either a Jack Russel or Rat Terrier when they meet him in the street. He definitely has the charm and personality of all these iconic breeds. We sadly have to re-home him since he has not adjusted well to life with our baby. He does not like to share attention with a toddler and consequently has had to spend a lot of time in his crate, although he does like older kids. He must be crated when you are not at home to avoid unwanted chewing. He lived with my parents a few months recently and was so much happier - we want him to find this happiness with you.

Story
Meet little Radar. He is in search of a new home after his parents reached out to us heartbroken because he is just too much with their new child who has started walking. It makes him a little nervous and he acts out.    Radar is- up to date on all shots and neutered.    He is about 5-6 years old and 10 lbs. If youre looking for a long car travel buddy, he may not be the best one for you because he gets a little nervous in the car. But a short ride he can do. Radar is still a bit leash reactive but LOVES walks and is so fast. He loves to run in circles in our backyard. He will bark if he sees another dog on a leash while he is out walking. That is a small dog for you. Radar adores people and is a true love bug. He gets super excited and jumpy when new people enter the house, but not in an aggressive way, just very excitable. He quickly calms down, and once he’s calm he will nuzzle in the lap of any person. He wants to be AS CLOSE to his people as possible when lounging, often scratching at my sweatshirt because (not kidding) he wants to get inside of it and cuddle.  That is how sweet and loving he is. He is incredibly food motivated and reminds you it’s almost dinner time by barking at you.He is fully house trained, but needs to be put outside when it’s cold otherwise he will sneak and poop in the house. This is only because he hates the cold. He can sit, and he knows other commands as well but struggles to listen at times, again just like a small dog. If you think you can give this little one the home and life he deserves, please fill out an application on our website bcaaofnj.orgInterested in adopting this pet?Click here for BCAA's on-line Application! PLEASE NOTE: Our adoption fee helps to cover our expenses and includes all shots, *age appropriate*, distemper and rabies, fecal check, spay/neuter, heartworm test, grooming, and in many cases dental and also the fee we pay when we rescue from a shelter.

Story
Meet Pippin, a resilient 2-year-old chi mix on her journey to healing. Once living in fear, she's now ready to find a loving home that understands her past and can help her blossom.Pippin has had a challenging past; she was used for breeding at a young age, and her previous owners prioritized profit over her well-being. Thankfully, those days are behind her. We are committed to ensuring that she will no longer be used for breeding, as she deserves a life filled with love and care.When she was saved, she was living outside in a dog house, lacking the socialization and human contact that every dog deserves. This unfortunate start has led to some behavioral challenges, particularly around food and possessions, as well as deep-seated fears stemming from her past abuse.  Her body was covered in scabs and infections when we rescued her, but after months of dedicated medical care, she is transforming into the beautiful girl she was always meant to be. With one blue eye and one brown eye, Pippin is not just charming; she's also learning to trust again.We are looking for a loving home that can continue working through her past traumas and provide her with the patience and understanding she needs. While Pippin is selective about her dog friends, she can play nicely with smaller, playful dogs. In addition to her affectionate side, Pippin has a playful spirit. She absolutely adores her toys and can spend hours entertaining herself with them. However, due to her fear of children, we believe it’s best for her future home to be child-free.Pippin is a sweetheart who absolutely adores being the center of attention. Once she gets to know you, she becomes incredibly affectionate.We are looking for a compassionate home that can continue working through her past traumas. Past experience with abused dogs is a plus.Pippin has been spayed and is now up to date on all her vaccinations. She is also microchipped and currently on heartworm preventive medication, ensuring she stays healthy and safe as she transitions into this new chapter of her life.Interested in adopting this pet?Click here for BCAA's on-line Application!

Story
MEET ZIGGY! Meet Ziggy the 8 year old Pomeranian mix! He was originally surrendered to ACCT Philly due to​ his family relocating. This poor guy was suffering from severe skin issues, fur-loss, and double ear infections​. Ziggy has caught up on vet care and is now looking and feeling like a whole new dog! With some TLC and vet care his skin has cleared up, his fur is growing back, and his ears are fixed up. ​Z​iggy is currently liv​ing with 2 large dogs ​in his foster home and​ he does great with them, but ​he still prefers attention from humans. He’s been non-reactive towards cats​ but isn't currently living with any. His previous owner shared that he would​ sometimes bully other small dogs in the home​ and after getting to know his boisterous personality, we’re not surprised. It’s Ziggy’s world after all and we’re just living in it​! Ziggy ​definitely rocks that ​"main character energy​" like no other. He has his signature pom pom dance move where he claps his paws together and spins​! He also demands belly rubs multiple times a day. He’s the cutest little skunk doppelgänger and an affectionate ​little nugget. He’s still working on his table manners when food is around and house training. Nobody’s perfect after all, though Ziggy is close to it​. If you're looking for a tiny dog with a big personality. Ziggy might be the guy for you! ​Ziggy is available for adoption through City of Elderly Love. He is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. Interested in adopting him? Visit cityofelderlylove.org to complete an online adoption questionnaire! PA Kennel License 12930
