Layla is a sweet, easygoing 4 year old Purebred Westie. Her owner is elderly and was just put on hospice and can no longer care for her. A nice woman who is a dog walker took her in to help find her a home. She gets along great with other dogs, she is curious in her new surroundings but well-behaved. She is housetrained but was crated over night just incase. She did well. She was excited when she found a squeaky toy to play with. She is a little overweight because the owner wasn't able to walk her around much or get her out, so she will need a little exercise. She is supposed to be ok with kids. Layla is spayed, current on vaccines and microchipped. To adopt her is $400.00.

This dog will be at our Sayreville adoption center adjoined to Sayrebrook Veterinary Hospital 1400 Main St. (GPS 989 Main St.) Sayreville, NJ 08872, open Saturday and Sunday 11am. to 3pm. PLEASE BE SURE TO CHECK BACK SATURDAY MORNING TO MAKE SURE NOTHING HAS CHANGED.

July 4th is right around the corner

Fireworks and Noise Anxiety
Summertime can often bring fireworks and thunderstorms, which can cause significant anxiety for pets. To help manage their stress:
Create a Safe Space: Provide a quiet, comfortable area where your pet can retreat during loud noises.
Use Calming Aids: Consider using anxiety wraps or calming supplements. If your pet is in need of a prescription medication, such as Gabapentin or Trazodone, please consult your vet.
Distraction Techniques: Keep your pet occupied with interactive toys or background noise, like the TV or soothing music.

While many dogs do have a knack for treading water, not all dogs are naturally gifted swimmers. And for pups with flat faces or short legs, swimming can be a tremendous physical challenge. That said, with training (and proper safety gear), most dogs can learn how to stay afloat in the water. Always keep an eye on your pet when swimming and if needed, there are life vests for all dogs to wear. Keep your pets safe around pools

Introducing your new cat to your resident cat

Cats are solitary and highly territorial creatures that often require weeks or months to adjust to changes in their environment and lifestyle. For that reason, first impressions are extremely important when meeting other household pets. Cats that are introduced too quickly and fight may never learn to coexist peacefully.
Create a sanctuary room for your new cat. When you bring your new cat home, confine him to one room with his own litterbox, bed, food, and water for a week, or at least until he has been examined by your vet.
Feed them on opposite sides of the same door. At the next meal, place the two cats’ bowls on either side of the door to that room. The aim is for the cats to associate the pleasurable activity of eating with the presence of the other cat. Gradually move the bowls closer with each feeding. When they can eat calmly with both bowls directly across from each other, open the door a crack — for just a few seconds — so they can see each other as they eat.
Let your new cat explore. Once the new cat seems comfortable in his new surroundings, is eating well, and using his litter box, confine your resident cat in another room and let the new cat explore the house. This allows the new cat to come in contact with the resident cat’s scent without direct contact. Another option is to exchange the cats’ bedding for a night.
Monitor the cats’ first encounter closely and limit the time they spend together at first. Some display of fearful or aggressive behavior (crouching, hissing, ears back) is to be expected, but you want to avoid letting them establish a pattern of aggressive or fearful behavior, which may be difficult to change. If these behaviors intensify, separate the cats again and go back to step one.
If they fight, distract and separate. If an actual fight breaks out, throw a towel over them (to distract them) or make a loud noise to separate them. Lure the new cat back to his sanctuary room (don’t pick him up while he’s still aroused) and give them a few days to calm down. Do not hold either cat in your arms during introductions: if either one reacts aggressively to the other cat, you could be scratched or bitten.
Continue to provide supervised encounters with both cats, watching closely for signs of tension or aggression. If one cat appears to be freezing, staring, or fixating on the other cat, have some treats or fun toys nearby to direct them away from each other. This will also continue to teach them that good things happen when the other cat is near.

Rocky is a 9 month old male Alaskan Malamute/Husky mix with very long, gorgeous, fluffy fur. He is very friendly and playful. Would do best if he went to a home with a yard. He is good with all people, dogs, even a 2 year old toddler. Rocky just went to be groomed today because he was shedding a lot and had some matting deep under the fur. The groomer said that he was most likely kept in a small cage as he was growing because his legs are bowed and he can't straighten them completely. He still gets around ok but when he was being groomed it was a little uncomfortable for him. The last photo is after his grooming.

To adopt him Rocky is $500.00 which includes his neuter, vaccines, heartworm test and microchip.

You can see him during the week Mon-Wed in South River. Email [email protected] or call 732-718-8757 if interested. If not adopted by the weekend, he will be at our Englishtown Auction booth in the gray bldg, open Sat & Sun, 9 to 12.

ADOPTED- Suzie is a very friendly 5 year old Purebred Golden Retriever. She loves all people and kids. She gets along with other dogs as well. She has never been around cats. Suzie is housetrained. She likes to play and run around in the yard. Her owner is moving out of the country and cannot take her with them. To adopt Suzie is $450.00 which includes her spay, vaccinations, heartworm test and microchip.

Oliver is a 3 year old Yorkie mix, maybe with Maltipoo. He is friendly and playful. He is housetrained and will let you know when he needs to go out. He gets along with kids and some other dogs. He tends to bark at other male dogs at first. He's never been around cats. He is on food for sensitive stomachs. We also found out that when we got Oliver this weekend that he has cherry eye in both of his eyes which will have to be fixed. The surgery will cost about $780.00, maybe more. We are asking that if he is adopted that the adopter help off-set the surgery by paying 1/3 of it added to the adoption fee which is $400.00, he is neutered, current on vaccines, microchipped and will be heartworm tested.

Oliver will be at our Englishtown Auction booth in the gray bldg, open Sat & Sun, 9am. to 12 noon unless it's raining. If interested please email [email protected] or call Susan at 732-718-8757.
