INTRODUCING PALMER‼️‼️‼️🐾❤️🐱
This special little girl is Palmer, she was born in our care after we rescued her pregnant mom Prudence from the streets of Newark. She was one of three kittens. Her sister Phillipa is also available. Unfortunately their brother didn't make it. Palmer was born on 4/23/24 and has a special condition called CH, which affects her fine motor skills. As you can see from her video, she walks a little wobbly and bow-legged, but she gets around just fine. Other than that she is completely healthy, spayed, vaccinated, FeLV/FIV negative and is microchipped. Palmer is super affectionate and loves to play with other cats. A home with a decent amount of carpet will be helpful to her ability to get around easier. She is super soft and cuddly.

ADOPT BRUCE AT BFDAAA.COM‼️‼️‼️
Who could resist this face?!?! Bruce is a 2-3 year old pocket Pittie who was rescued from a horrific situation in North Jersey. He was locked in a cage with no food or water and most likely used as a bait dog based on his size. Bruce is an amazing little man. He is a testament to the resilience of these dogs. They go through pain and suffering but just have lots of love to give. Bruce is a volunteer favorite. They literally fight over who gets to walk him!!! We have slowly been re-introducing him to other dogs and he is doing fantastic. He loves walks, yard time, and taking over your lap as his own. He loves toys, treats and anything that involves belly rubs. Bruce would do great in a home with another low-key chill older dog. He deserves to have an amazing home!!! Is that with you?!?!

KARMA IS A HIGHLY TRAINED, FUN-LOVING AND CUDDLY GIRL LOOKING FOR AN ACTIVE HOME‼️‼️‼️❤️🐾🐶
Greetings, you savvy seeker of canine companionship! Are you an experienced dog whisperer with a heart of gold and a penchant for life's finer, furrier things? Look no further. We present to you, Karma, the mesmerizing Shepherd-Husky mix who'll bring boundless love, laughter, and liveliness to your home!
Residing at a board and train facility in Central New Jersey, this 16-month-old beauty is waiting for her lucky person or family to sweep her off her paws. Karma's pedigree, courtesy of Best Friend Dog and Animal Adoption Inc., ensures that she's a majestic, one-of-a-kind canine you won't find anywhere else!
Karma is all about that #WorkHardPlayHard lifestyle. A working breed, she loves staying active, but also adores snuggling up on the couch with her human for some well-earned downtime. Her love language? Sweet kisses that will make your heart melt.
Toys, treats, and food are no problem for Karma, as she's gentle as can be. Fully housebroken, crate trained, and delightfully intelligent, she's a graceful dog who'll make your life a walk in the park.
Though Karma gets along with older kids, she's best suited for a home without other pets due to her slight resource-guarding issues. But don't worry—this lovely lady can walk near dogs on the street with poise and grace, so those daily strolls will be a breeze.
As a Shepherd-Husky mix, Karma is seeking an experienced owner or family who will continue to help her shine with her professionally trained on-leash skills. With a little love and patience, she's guaranteed to be the furry friend you've always dreamed of.

Rosie
ROOF TOP ROSIE UPDATE‼️‼️‼️❤️🐾🐶
This beautiful girl was out with a bunch of our volunteers today as we worked to evaluate her needs. As you can image she is a little shell shocked at this point. Being moved around isn't easy even for the most well adapted dogs. Rosie took the day in stride and had a wonderful time on the ground and in the fresh air. As you can see she gave a lot of smiles and loves the pets!!! One of the most important thing a rescue can do is learn all they can about a dog and their behavior so they get placed in the right adoptive home. Rosie will continue to be evaluated during the next few weeks. Thank you so much to everyone involved in her rescue. It truly takes a village!!! We are looking for a foster for Rosie so she can continue to blossom in a home environment. If you are interested in fostering, please go to bfdaaa.com to complete an application. If you would like to donate to Rosie's care, please go to bfdaaa.com/donations.

TODAYS EMERGENCY RESCUE‼️‼️‼️🐶🐾❤️
Two extremely matted, sick and emaciated girls were found by a fire department in Newark and needed emergency rescue!!!! We stepped in immediately and got them to a local vet who was able to assess both of them, start them on fluids and get them both groomed. The white one weighs onky 5lbs and was so sick she couldn't even stand. She had to be groomed laying on her side. These poor babies have obviously been starved and neglected for a very long time. Sadly this is what we deal with every day. People choose to spend thousands of dollars to buy dogs but then don't want to spend the money on their upkeep. Well these two girls will never know pain and suffering again. If you would like to donate to their care, please go to bfdaaa.com/donations.

MAGGIE UPDATE #4❤️🐾🐶
Maggie continues to thrive and is seeking an immediate foster or forever home as the only pet with no children!!!!
Maggie got to spend time this weekend in a home for a sleepover to get some much needed rest. None of this would have been possible without a life-saving partnership between Ramapo-Bergen Animal Refuge, Best Friend Dog and Animal Adoption and YOU – our wonderful rescue community! Maggie is feeling SO much better these days, but we can’t forget where she came from, AND we can’t forget to help Maggie find a home!
Maggie is currently seeking a foster/foster to adopt home. Just days after rescue, Maggie is feeling like a new girl. She is gaining weight, cared for, safe and loved for the first time in a long time – maybe ever. Maggie was found abandoned in a park, a “throw-away” mama dog, used for breeding. At just 29 pounds and covered in fleas and pressure sores, it appeared Maggie had been caged and severely neglected to the point of starvation. RBARI joined with Best Friend to rescue Maggie and provide her with immediate medical care. Maggie is enjoying a slow refeeding schedule of small, frequent meals to reintroduce her body to nourishment safely.
Maggie SO grateful to YOU, her incredible rescue angels! Through your generosity, you have shown Maggie how beautiful life can be! Now, let’s find this deserving girl a home. Please share and visit https://www.bfdaaa.com/application/dogAdoptionApplication to apply to foster/adopt Maggie!
