While many animals are available, here are just a few you can find this weekend.

Nellie is a Maltese/poodle mix from a puppy mill in the Midwest. The owner can't keep her because she has asthma and is allergic to the dog. Nellie spins when she is nervous, which doesn't seem to be a big problem. She does it when she is nervous. ARF will provide Clamacalm (medicine) if anyone wants to try it. Nellie is spayed and up-to-date on her routine shots. She will be groomed by the weekend. To adopt her will cost $250, which includes her spay, shots, heartworm test, and ID chip. Nellie will be at the Englishtown Auction booth in the gray building on Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. For directions visit the ARF website.

Lance is a 4-month-old male domestic cat that was pulled from a High Kill shelter by one of ARF’s rescuer friends when he was scheduled to be euthanized. Volunteers have been giving him lots of love, and he is building his confidence daily. He is still shy, and scared of loud noises, but loves attention, and cries to be held. He loves other cats, and loves to be pet and held. The ideal home for him is somewhere quiet, and with an experienced cat person, who knows how to bring him out of his shell, and understands that cats can take their time, and wouldn’t mind that. He is already neutered, up to date on his shots, tested and negative for FELV/FIV, and also micro chipped. Lance will be at our 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.

Jake is a 12-year-old miniature pinscher. He is very sweet but his owners don't have time for him. Jake is neutered, up-to-date with his shots, and house trained. He has a short black and golden coat. Jake will be at PetSmart on Route 18 in East Brunswick, in the Midstate Mall shopping center Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Check the ARF website on Saturday and Sunday morning at 8:30 a.m. to see if anything has changed.
