INTRODUCING MIA....THE EXTREME CUDDLE BUG!!!❤️🐾🐶

This is a face of a desperate dog who made it out of an extremely bad situation when she randomly wandered into a church one evening and met a Good Samaritan who had just buried her mother. This emaciated little pocket pittie, now named Mia was in extreme need of help. Thank goodness she found her guardian Angel who took her home without a plan but knew Mia needed help. She reached out to the township of Plainfield who refused to help the dog, but then we were contacted to help. There was no way we could refuse to help her. We immediately got her to our vet who formulated a plan to get her better. Once stable she was moved to her current foster home where she is thriving. All her original medical issues have been resolved and she is now on a prescription diet to help keep her system regular and functioning properly. Mia currently lives with other dogs but truly is obsessed with her foster Mom. She follows her everywhere and must lay in her lap while on the couch. We believe she would do best as an only dog with older children since she commands her humans attention. She is great on leash and in the car. She is crate trained and thoroughly enjoys running around in the yard and playing fetch. She is working on potty training and is doing much better. Her fur feels like velvet and she enjoys all the rubbies she can get.

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

Meet Hugo, a one-year-old bully mix with stunning blue eyes and an irresistible personality. This energetic and playful pup is eager to please and thrives on human interaction. While Hugo still needs some guidance and basic training to channel his enthusiasm, his loving nature makes it all worthwhile.

Hugo gets along well with female dogs and would do best in a home with older children who can match his energy. An active family or individual who enjoys outdoor adventures would be perfect for him. A secure yard to run and play would be a big bonus!

RESCUE/FOSTER RASCAL. HE IS IN A SMALL HOLDING SHELTER IN NORTHERN NJ.
EMAIL: [email protected] IF YOU CAN SAVE HIM. He was evaluated by a professional trainer and passed with flying colors.
These dogs are just waiting for someone to notice them, to see beyond the bars and into their hopeful eyes. Each one is young, full of life, and they all deserve the chance to find a family. Sadly, these incredible dogs sit day after day in this small, quiet northern NJ shelter with almost no visibility to the outside world, their potential unseen, and their voices unheard. Each of these dogs was evaluated by a professional trainer and they did very well. They will be fully vetted before going to rescue.
These sweet dogs aren’t here by any fault of their own. They were abandoned or surrendered, often after enduring unimaginable hardships. Yet, they’re still here, still wagging their tails, and still hoping. They want nothing more than to feel the warmth of a safe home, to play with a toy in the yard, to receive belly rubs, and to give unconditional love. Each of them was evaluated by a professional trainer, and they all passed with flying colors.
This shelter is under-resourced and cannot give these dogs the exposure they desperately need to find families. Their days are numbered, and each one that passes brings them closer to a fate they don’t deserve. Please, if you’ve ever thought about bringing a dog into your life, come see them. Help spread the word. Give them a chance at the life they should have—a life filled with love, safety, and belonging.
Every share, every mention, every person you tell about these dogs could make the difference between life and death for them. Let’s be their voice. Let’s get them the chance they deserve.
We are asking all rescues to please consider pulling just one. For more information, please reach out to [email protected]

Meet Cleo, a 2-year-old sweetheart with a gentle and loving soul. Though she may start off shy, Cleo blossoms into a playful and adventurous companion once she feels secure. She thrives on love, patience, and positive reinforcement, making her perfect for an active home with experienced dog owners.

Cleo enjoys outdoor adventures and would love a securely fenced yard for playtime. While she's selective with other dogs, with careful introductions and ongoing socialization, she can form positive relationships.

Meet Maximus!!!! He is quite the combination of Chihuahua and Pomeranian. Two of the most opinionated breeds around. Maximus is about 7 years old and has a personality all his own. 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.

If you think Maximus could be the perfect fit, please go to bfdaaa.com to complete an application.
