B.A.D. Dogs
We are happy to announce a new project of the Liberty Humane Society, B.A.D. Dogs!
B.A.D. Dogs (Bullies Are Deserving Dogs) is a program that took shape when we saw wonderful dogs sitting in the shelter, unadopted, simply because they were pit bulls. Based in a low income area of Jersey City, NJ over flowing with pit bulls, we understood that more adoptions means more education. [BAD Dogs Website]
“SENIORS FOR SENIORS” Adoption Program
The month of November was “Adopt-a-Senior Pet” month. You probably know that pets provide wonderful companionship and lots of love. In addition, they provide many physical and emotional benefits. Studies have shown that owning an animal can lower blood pressure, reduce stress levels, increase physical activity and lengthen your lifespan. Cuddling with your favorite pet is a wonderful way to spend an afternoon!
BENEFITS OF ADOPTING AN OLDER PET:
- What you see is what you get! An older pet’s personality is already developed.
- House-training? Forget about it! Older pets are house trained or litter box trained already -which means less work for you!
- Plenty of years of companionship lie ahead. Cats can live to be in their twenties if properly cared for. A six-year old cat is considered a spring chicken in cat years!
- Older pets are calmer and mature. You won’t have to deal with kitten night crazies and an older cat is less likely to climb your curtains!
In November LHS kicked off its “Seniors for Seniors” program. If you are at least 63 years old and you adopt a pet from LHS that is 6 years old or older, the adoption fee will be reduced! You will also receive a companion that is already spayed and neutered, up to date on most of its shots and all cats are tested for Feline Aids and Leukemia. The adoption fee includes a 5 lb. bag of food, cat toys, treats and literature on how to care for your new best friend. Most importantly, you will receive the gift of unconditional love.
If you’re interested in learning more about the “Seniors For Seniors” program or want to know what senior animals are available for adoption, please call Liberty Humane Society at 201-547-4147 or visit our adoptable pets section.
