He is only for experienced Chihuahua or small breed owners. Maximus is just like many of your typical small breeds. Once he knows you, he loves you. He is extremely cute and food motivated which helps in winning him over. Maximus must go into an adult only home with very minimal access to children. He does not do well with commotion, loud noises or anyone rushing up to him. All the things children like to do. His ideal home is a retired couple or individual that can devote time and energy to his needs. Being a semi-senior he does not require extensive exercise or stimulation. A comfy couch, some walks and a lot of treats and he is a happy boy. Maximus has a clean bill of health and recently had a dental so he is ready for his next chapter.

WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!🐾🐶❤️

PLEASE VISIT bfdaaa.com/donations TO HELP SAVE MIA!!!

One evening, after a funeral service at a local church, a frail little pit bull stumbled onto the scene, her coat filthy, her body emaciated and weak. This poor angel, whom we later named Mia, was desperately searching for food, her eyes filled with a haunting mix of fear and hope.
As the attendees gathered to mourn, one compassionate woman spotted Mia and offered her food and water. With a grateful wag of her tail, Mia accepted the gift, her body trembling with need. The woman, despite the pain of her own impending loss—she was burying her mother the very next day—couldn’t bear to leave Mia behind. She followed her instinct and took the vulnerable pup home, knowing that the streets were no place for a dog in such dire condition.
Realizing that shelters were unable to help, the Good Samaritan reached out for assistance, and that’s when we heard Mia's heartbreaking story. When we arrived, our worst fears were confirmed: Mia was actively dying.
At just 22 pounds, her tiny frame was a shell of what a healthy dog should be. She was severely malnourished, her body rejecting nourishment after prolonged starvation and dehydration. Horrific lacerations marred her tongue, evidence of her desperate attempts to find anything edible in the trash. Dirt was encrusted in her teeth, a grim reminder of her struggle for survival.
We rushed Mia to the veterinary hospital, where she began an intensive treatment regimen. Extensive bloodwork revealed the extent of her neglect—she was infested with worms and parasites, suffering from explosive diarrhea that threatened her fragile state. She needed immediate IV nutrition and fluids just to stabilize her.
Mia’s journey to recovery is far from over. She requires continuous monitoring and specialized care as we work to restore her health and put some much-needed weight on her frail body. Yet, despite her suffering, what amazed us most was Mia’s gentle spirit and unwavering will to live. In the face of overwhelming odds, she greeted us with sweet kisses and a tender heart, proving that even the most broken souls can hold onto hope.
We never shy away from the tough cases, and Mia’s plight has become our mission. But we can’t do it alone.
Your support is crucial. Every donation will directly contribute to Mia’s ongoing medical care, enabling us to give her the second chance she so desperately deserves. With your help, we can transform her heartbreaking story into one of hope and healing.
Please consider donating today—together, we can save Mia and countless other dogs like her. Let’s show them that compassion and love can prevail, even in the darkest of times.
Visit bfdaaa.com/donations to help save Mia.

INTRODUCING MARTY!!!🐾🐶❤️

Marty is a three year old Poodle/Havanese mix who was rescued from a horrible puppy mill situation. When he first got to his foster home he was a little shut down, but all that changed when he met some other dogs who taught him how to be a dog. Marty had never touched grass, was never walked on a leash, didn't know what toys were or that a human could show him love. Now he is blossoming into a wonderful well-rounded dog. Marty loves to run around the yard, chase the other dogs and wrestle. Marty would do great in a home with another super confident and friendly dog and possibly some older children. Marty has not been around little kids and we believe they might be a little too much for his personality. He is such a sweet boy who deserves a wonderful home.

If you are interested in Marty, please go to bfdaaa.com to complete an application.

CAN YOU HELP⁉️⁉️⁉️🐾❤️🐱

FOSTERS, ADOPTERS AND DONATIONS NEEDED‼️‼️‼️

We have had a very busy week with helping local homeless and abandoned cats!!!!

We continue to help with the hoarding case that Maria Powers has been working so hard on for several months. We have now taken 15 cats including our two new ones Smudge and Helena. Helena is completely blind and will need a special home.

Then we were asked by the Plainfield ACO to help with a Mom and two babies who someone trapped while they were illegally trying to trap a raccoon. Mom was spayed and will be released if she is not deemed to actually be feral. The black and white brother and sister named Dorothy and Toto are currently fighting for their lives as they have worms, parasites and bad upper respiratory infections.

Cinnamon is a senior Tortie who has been living on the streets of Elizabeth for years. The feeder has been great in feeding her but horrible in trying to get her medical care and off the streets. Being a feeder means more than just throwing food out for the cats!!!! This girl does not deserve to spend another winter outside. Thank you so much to Barbra Grecco for advocating for her survival!!!!

Finally we have Scooter who was dumped when his family moved away and has been living outside. Now he has injured his paw and is in desperate need of medical care. Summit Dog and Cat Hospital has agreed to board him so he can get treatment until we find a foster home for him. Thank you to Nadia Wilches for advocating for Scooter to get the help he needs!!!

All these cats are in need of medical care including possible leg surgery, spay/neuter, vaccines, bloodwork, antibiotics, deworming etc. We cannot do this alone. If you have pledged to help any of these cats or would like to donate, please go to bfdaaa.com/donations.

Thank you for your support!!!!

CLEO IS A STRONG, CONFIDENT AND LOVING DOG WHO JUST WANTS A COUCH TO CALL HER OWN‼️‼️‼️❤️🐾🐶

Cleo is a sweet-natured 2 year old dog with a gentle and loving demeanor. While she may initially appear timid, her true personality shines through once she feels comfortable and secure in her surroundings. Cleo is a sensitive soul who craves love and affection, and she will form a strong bond with her chosen humans. Despite her initial shyness, Cleo is a bundle of energy, always ready for an adventure and eager to explore the world around her.

Cleo would greatly benefit from consistent training and positive reinforcement. Her timidity can be overcome with patience and gentle guidance. Basic obedience training, including socialization with other dogs and exposure to different environments, will help build her confidence and enhance her overall well-being. With the right training approach and plenty of patience, Cleo will thrive and become a well-behaved companion.

Cleo is selective when it comes to other dogs. While she may show a preference for some male dogs, it's important to proceed with caution and introduce her to other canines gradually and under controlled circumstances. She may benefit from ongoing socialization and training to help her develop better social skills with other dogs. With the right introductions and guidance, Cleo can potentially form positive relationships with select canine companions.

Cleo requires an active home that can provide her with plenty of physical exercise and mental stimulation. She would benefit from daily walks, runs, or playtime in a securely fenced yard. An owner who enjoys outdoor activities and is committed to providing regular exercise will be the perfect match for Cleo. Additionally, a calm and patient household with experienced dog owners who understand her needs and can help her overcome her timidity would be ideal.

If you are interested in Cleo, please go to bfdaaa.com to complete an application.
