Story

Hi! My name is Evie and I am looking for a forever home. My previous owner got me as a puppy and promptly put me outside in a 10x10 pen and I didn't get much attention. Fortunately, a nice lady asked them if she could have me so she could find me a home where I could be a member of the family. When they said yes, my plight came to the attention of BCAA who said they would help me ... yeah! I'm about 5 years old so I'm past all of that puppy foolishness. I'm also a pretty big girl at 60lbs 'cause I was always left with a big bag of dog food and all I had to was eat and I was always left with a big bag of dog food ... but me and my foster mom are working on me getting back my girlish figure. I was pretty confused when I first came into foster but everyone is so nice to me and I just love getting attention. While I have gotten along with other dogs when meeting them and interacting outside, I really do not want to have to share my people's attention so I will need to find a home where I am your one and only. I have met and have ignored those things called cats. While I really don't like my crate (I would much prefer to be out with my people!), I haven't had any accidents, don't bark and haven't torn up any bedding. I'm learning about that thing called a leash and getting much better as I realize it means I can be with you. If you would like to meet me, please fill out an application which can be found at http://www.bcaaofnj.org. Interested 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

Phoebe is an 11 week old little chi mix. She weighs 5 pounds now and will not be too big full grown. She is so sweet and loves people. She is working on house and crate training in her foster home. Her foster says she is such a doll baby! She adores her. She is so cute and has such a personality. She is pretty high energy and loves to play with other small dogs. She is nervous around big dogs. She would love a playmate in her new home and a fenced yard too. She is a little spit fire who is ready to play with anyone!

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained,

Story

Tilly is approx five years old and 7 lbs. She came from a home where her owner passed away and left her and a few of her siblings. The house was not the best and the poor dogs were covered in fleas and had hair loss from it. Tilly has been all treated and her hair is coming back now. She loves treats and toys. She does fine with other dogs. Tilly came from a home with kids so she is used to them. She also rides fine in a car. She would do best in a home with a fenced yard. She's not great on leash and likes to potty in a fenced area. Tilly deserves a wonderful loving home where she will be treated like the princess she is.
