Story
Cookie is a very lovable dog. We found her in a railroad yard in the middle of winter. She is a very energetic who loves to run and play,very easy to train and responds well to commands.Shes spayed, up to date on shots and has a clean bill of health. We are looking to rehome her to a loving home where she has ample room to run. Preferably she would be the only dog. We have a older, larger dog that is much more docile and prefers his naps and can get agitated with her playfulness. We hate to have to rehome her but unfortunately we feel we are not the best fit for Cookie.

Story
Max is 3 years old. Max is a happy dog and loves attention. Max is a goofy dog. Max does know a few commands as sit, down, and off. Max is used to being around children. Max is not currently neutered but I plan to have Max neutered within the next 90 days if he is not adopted before that time. Max still needs more training with not jumping on people for attention. Max is crate trained and house trained. I am looking for someone that is great with dogs and can provide a loving home for Max. I think a home with children 7 years or older and with no cats would be best for Max. Max is a strong dog. Max is currently homeless and is in need of a home as soon as possible.

Story
Meet Llama, the happiest, cuddliest, and most playful 1-year-old, 43-pound terrier mix you’ll ever meet! This girl is full of life and love, always ready for fun and adventure. She runs like the wind, leaps like a champion, and would absolutely shine in agility training—or just zooming around the yard! A fenced yard where she can stretch her speedy legs is a must for this energetic sweetheart.Llama is not just about play—she’s also a world-class cuddler! Whether she’s snuggled up with her favorite humans or lounging after a long day of fun, she loves to be close. Chewing on bones is another one of her favorite pastimes—give her a good chew toy, and she’s in heaven!She’s crate trained and does great in her crate, settling down quickly after a short whine. Llama adores other dogs and greets them with happy kisses and playful invitations. She plays hard and loves to be the boss, but if her playmate isn’t interested, she’s just as happy entertaining herself.This smart, treat-motivated pup already knows how to sit and is working on perfecting her manners—like keeping all four paws on the ground when excited and resisting the temptation of tasty snacks on the counter. She loves squeaky toys and would be a fantastic candidate for trick training!Though car rides still make her a little nervous, she’s a brave girl who hops right in and stays close for comfort. She also walks well on a leash and would love regular strolls and adventures with her forever family.Llama’s goofy, loving, and fun personality makes her an amazing companion for an active family. She’s adored by her foster and will steal your heart in no time!

Story
Misty is an 10-month-old, 35-pound Boxer mix with a playful spirit and a heart full of love. Despite being deaf, Misty is a quick learner and would thrive in a home with another dog who can help guide and teach her. She has plenty of energy to burn, as expected from her young age. Misty absolutely loves other dogs and enjoys playing with them, although she can be a bit too playful with cats, chasing them in an attempt to play. She is learning basic commands like “sit” and how to go into her kennel when you point to it. Potty-trained but in need of regular breaks, Misty prefers not to be left outside alone—she’ll head back to the door quickly if you or another dog aren’t with her.Curious and sweet, Misty is just discovering the joy of toys and is eager to share her zest for life with her forever family. She hasn’t been around children yet but would likely do well with those who understand her playful nature, including her tendency to jump up when excited. Outgoing and affectionate, Misty adores meeting new people and is ready to give all her love to someone who will return it. If you’re looking for an energetic, loving companion who will melt your heart, Misty might be the perfect match! Bcaaofnj.orgInterested in adopting this pet?Click here for BCAA's on-line Application!

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!

Story
Meet Murray! If you’ve ever dreamed of having your very own House Hippo, today’s your lucky day! Murray is a 7-month-old, 40-pound bundle of love, energy, and pure puppy joy. He has come such a long way from his rough start—arriving scared, underweight, and unsure of the world. But with love, security, and plenty of good meals, he’s blossomed into a playful, affectionate, and adventurous pup. Watching him learn how to be a puppy—discovering toys, playtime, and belly rubs—has been nothing short of heartwarming.Murray is now 100% potty trained and does well in his kennel or open pen. He sleeps through the night, often choosing his bed in the kitchen, but if he’s extra tired and in need of snuggles, he’ll happily snooze with his humans. He’s a smart boy who knows sit, stay, back, and no—though, like most puppies, he doesn’t always listen!This little hippo LOVES walks and is an absolute angel on leash—no pulling, no reactivity, just pure joy. His confidence has grown tremendously, and he’s becoming desensitized to things that once scared him. He’s been amazing with new people and thrives on positive interactions.Murray plays with enthusiasm and sometimes doesn’t realize he’s a 40lb puppy—he can be a little tenacious, but it’s all in good fun! He loves having a doggy playmate, especially one his size or bigger. And, true to his mischievous puppy nature, he occasionally steals things and runs off like a giddy little kid!Murray is a special pup who deserves a forever home filled with love, safety, and plenty of cuddles. If your home is missing a Baby House Hippo, Murray just might be your perfect match! Apply to adopt at bcaaofnj.org Interested in adopting this pet?Click here for BCAA's on-line Application!
