Meet NorthJersey.com’s adoptable pets of the week for June 7!
Each week, NorthJersey.com would like to highlight adoptable animals from local shelters and rescues.
If you foster, work at, or volunteer with a North Jersey animal shelter or rescue and know of some animals who are in need of a loving fur-ever home, please send a photo, description, and adoption information to amwallace@gannett.com to have your adoptable pet featured in the next edition.
This week we are featuring Max, Hercules, Pawley, and Lindy from the Bloomingdale Regional Animal Shelter Society (BASS) in Ringwood.
Max
Coming in at 40 pounds, Max is a 1-and-a-half-year-old boxer mix who will do anything for a cookie.
Max can be timid at first but is very affectionate and loves to get pets and kisses. He seems to get along with other dogs of similar size but would also be okay being the only pet in the house.
Max has been at the shelter for far too long as he can be a bit mouthy. However, he does not bite and when firmly told to stop he stops. He has also been at the shelter long enough that some of that behavior is decreasing as he gets older. He is excellent in the car and a much calmer dog when not at the shelter so he would greatly benefit from adoption.
Max can be found on the BASS website at bassshelterpets.org or at his Petfinder profile at petfinder.com/dog/max-65595675/nj/bloomingdale/bloomingdale-regional-animal-shelter-society-nj28/.
You can visit the shelter any day at 260 Margaret King Ave. in Ringwood from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Walk-ins are welcome.
Hercules
Hercules is a 60 pound, 5-year-old shepherd mix. Hercules was living a happy life in a home with wonderful parents until one tragic day a fatal car accident left him homeless. He was temporarily taken in by a family friend and got along well with her dog, but she was not able to keep him long term and he eventually found his way to BASS.
Even though Hercules misses the love and attention of being part of a family, he has been a good, sweet boy who loves to run in the yard, chase birds, and get as many hugs and pets as he can from the volunteers. Due to his size, he would be better in a home with older kids and definitely no cats.
Hercules can be found on the BASS website or on Petfinder at petfinder.com/dog/hercules-70078344/nj/bloomingdale/bloomingdale-regional-animal-shelter-society-nj28/.
You can visit the shelter any day at 260 Margaret King Ave. in Ringwood from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Walk-ins are welcome.
Lindy
Lindy is a 25 pound, 2-year-old terrier mix. She is a little energizer bunny who is very food motivated and learns quickly with mini–Milk Bones.
Lindy loves people, pets, and her toys, especially balls you can throw with her. She would benefit with an active and experienced dog owner as she can play all day long.
Unfortunately, she is not that fond of other dogs and should be the only pet in the home.
Lindy can be found on the BASS website or on Petfinder at petfinder.com/dog/lindy-69462425/nj/bloomingdale-regional-animal-shelter-society-nj28/.
You can visit the shelter any day at 260 Margaret King Ave. in Ringwood from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. Walk-ins are welcome.
Pawley
Pawley is a dalmatian and terrier mix. He is about 1-and-a-half years old and weighs in at around 32 pounds. Pawley was picked up as a stray in a downtown area of Kentucky and nobody came to reclaim him.
He is so sweet and cute, learns quickly for treats, and has perfected “sit” and “place.” He is working on other skills as well.
Pawley is very high energy and can be mouthy when excited. Therefore, he can only be in a house of adults and older kids. He would benefit from an experienced owner who would take the time to understand him. He is a sweetheart that loves to be cuddled and pet and boy does he love his rope toys!
Pawley can be found on the BASS website or on Petfinder at petfinder.com/dog/pawley-58767363/nj/bloomingdale/bloomingdale-regional-animal-shelter-society-nj28/.
