Give a Cat or Dog a New Home

Cats and dogs: You want them and the Animal Rescue Force has them!

Help find a cat or dog a home by attending one of several adoption events sponsored by the this weekend. ARF holds weekly adoption events throughout the area to find homes for animals that would have been euthanized in a shelter or whose parents can no longer care for them.

Holly is a 6-year-old spayed female bichon who is very scared in her crate, but when she comes out she is friendly. She has just been groomed by Pampered Paws in South River, who donated her services (732-218-2621). You can see her after grooming and before grooming pictures. Holly's owner rescued her from a neighbor but can't keep her. To adopt her will cost $130, which includes her heartworm test just done.  Holly will be at the Petco adoption center on Route 1 in Edison on Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Check back with the ARF website  on Saturday and Sunday to see if anything has changed.

Amber is a very sweet cat who was found starving and was probably dumped in an apartment complex. One of the ARF volunteers found her and two kittens crying for food. They devoured two cans of food immediately, so she loaded up the family in her car and took them in. Amber is still quite thin and needs some fattening up and some TLC. She is spayed, up to date on her vaccines, and tested negative for felv/fiv. Amber will be at the Petco adoption center on Route 1 in Edison on Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Check back with the ARF website  on Saturday and Sunday to see if anything has changed.
