Story
Rehoming Our Sweet Carmel 🐾 I’m looking for a loving family to welcome my 1-year-old puppy, Carmel. He’s a bundle of energy and loves to play, so he’ll need someone who can give him the attention he deserves. Carmel was born from his mom, Gingie, who had a large litter of 9 puppies. We’ve been caring for him while waiting for the perfect family to come along. He’s crate-trained and is working on fully mastering house training — sometimes he makes little mistakes but always tries to use his pee pad. He’s very close to his brother, Tiger, as they grew up together, but unfortunately, with my busy career and the number of dogs I already care for, I can’t give Carmel the time he truly needs. He spends a lot of time in the cage, and he deserves more freedom and love than I can currently provide. If you or someone you know is ready to give this sweet boy a forever home, please reach out! He’s full of love and would make a wonderful companion for an active family.

Story
Meet Marvin! This sweet 4-year-old Jack Russell mix weighs just 12 pounds. He’s an excellent walking buddy, loves car rides, and enjoys treats. Marvin can be a little shy at first and takes some time to warm up, but once he gets to know you, he’ll shower you with kisses and bring out his playful side. He even does a funny trick of getting on your shoulders. He needs a slow introduction to strangers, so he needs a patient adult only family who can understand his boundaries and going slow.Rescued from a local shelter where he was once very scared, Marvin is now thriving in his foster home. He’s house and crate trained. He loves to cuddle and be with other dogs once he warms up. He is a smart boy who loves to learn new tricks. He will do best in a home without cats. Marvin is ready to find a forever family who will help him continue to grow and feel safe in new environments.

Story
Hi there, I’m Kaden! I’m a 4-month-old pup with the sweetest personality and a coat of wiry, terrier-like hair that makes me extra adorable. I currently weigh about 12 pounds and am expected to grow into a medium-sized dog as I get older.My foster family says I’m such a good boy—sweet, playful, and especially great with kids! I love making new friends and exploring the world around me. Like all puppies, I’ll need some patience, training, and socialization to help me learn all the good manners I need to be the best dog ever. But I promise, I’m eager to learn and love every step of the way!I can’t wait to find my forever family. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion to grow with, I might just be the perfect fit. Could you be my happily ever after? Apply at bcaaofnj.orgInterested in adopting this pet?Click here for BCAA's on-line Application!

Story
Luna needs a fenced in yard and another dog. Luna is a smart, speed racer.  She has discovered the freedom of running free in a fenced yard and races around any chance she gets.  She also enjoys her furry foster brother so would love to be in a home with another dog she can play chase and tug of war.  She is a shadow to her foster mom but does wonderful in her crate when it's time to chill.  Luna is a little nervous around adult men so needs a little time to warm up to males. This 15 pound cutie,who still has some growing to do,  does well on her leash but thrives in a fenced  yard since daily laps have become her routine. She is spayed , up to date with shots, heartworm negative,with lots of puppy energy.  Luna is about 8-9 months  comes when called, knows sit and does great with potty training and sleeps through the night in her crate.   Although we have no idea her breed background, she loves to play fetch, retrieves balls and Frisbees like a pro.  If you are looking for your shadow, this sweetheart will be a lovely addition to your family.    Interested in adopting this pet?Click here for BCAA's on-line Application!

Story
Blue Belle is looking for a foster home with no other pets. She is great with kids! Meet Blue Belle, an amazingly sweet and adorable grey pittie girl with a heart full of love and a personality that shines brighter than the sun! This happy-go-lucky girl has spent her entire life—over two years—at a shelter after being taken there as a puppy due to cerebellar hypoplasia. Despite her challenges, Blue Belle is full of joy and positivity, as if she lives in a world of hearts and rainbows.Dogs with cerebellar hypoplasia may have some motor skill issues, but they are often not in pain and can live long, happy lives. For Blue Belle, her unique walk—with her front paws lifting high—is the only hint of her condition. She’s unfazed by it and loves life to the fullest. To keep her safe, Blue Belle will need a home without stairs. She’s ready to bring her boundless love, joy, and cuddles to her forever family.Blue Belle is a cuddle bug who dreams of being your lap dog and will gladly spend her days snuggled up with you. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs outside of her home, but is still figuring out sharing her house with others. Since she has lived in a small run her whole life, being in a home with others is overwhelming to her. She would love a home where she can play, enjoy safe adventures, and get some much-needed exercise to shed a few extra pounds she’s gained. She currently weighs about 66 pounds and should lose around 10-15 pounds.If you’d like to meet this special girl, please apply at bcaaofnj.org.Interested in adopting this pet?Click here for BCAA's on-line Application!
