The Rescue Round-Up

Second Chance Pet Adoption League Jill is an adorable 2-year-old beagle mix. She is shy and submissive, but very sweet. Jill craves attention and gets along well with other dogs; she just wants someone to love her. Jelly Belly is a cute and friendly 8- to 10-year-old mini-dachshund rescued as a stray. She is great with people and most other dogs; she’s the perfect little lap dog. She is looking for a home where she will be loved and cared for in her golden years. These dogs and many more can be seen at Second Chance’s weekly pet adoptions every Sunday 12:30 to 3 p.m. at the Animal Clinic of Morris Plains (3009 Route 10 East, Morris Plains, next to 5 Star Car Wash). Call 973-208-1054 or visit www.secondchance.petfinder.com for more information. BARKS (Byram Animal Rescue Kindness Squad) On Saturday, July 25 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., BARKS will be holding pet adoptions at Sparta Pet Shoppe & Spa (270 Sparta Avenue, Upper Lake Plaza, Sparta), and again on Saturday, Aug. 8 at Pet Valu (90 US Highway 206, ShopRite Plaza, Byram). One of their recent rescues is Bambi, a shy kitty who quickly warms up to people. Bambi is quite active and loves to play. Bambi is up to date with routine shots, house trained, and spayed.

Noah’s Ark Animal Welfare Association Noah’s Ark has two special pets looking for homes this month. Abigail is a year and a half old cat who was abandoned at a local vet. She is sweet, calm, and loves to be petted. Groucho is a 60-pound boxer/shepherd mix. He is originally from Kentucky. Groucho is friendly, well-mannered, and loves to go for walks. He’s great with other dogs, knows his sit command, and is already crate and house trained.
