🤩Do you remember Gordita? 🇲🇽

We hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful weather. Gordita certainly is, and we couldn’t be happier to see her thriving in her forever home. ❤️

One of the best parts of this work is receiving updates from adopters and seeing our former shelter pets living the lives they deserve. Thank you for sharing, Gordita. You made our day! ☀️🏡

Thank you Sabik for the amazing update!🤩

💝This morning we had the pleasure of welcoming Sister Alexander and her associates from Felician Sisters of North America convent in Lodi. They generously donated sheets and blankets for our dogs, received a tour of the shelter, and spent time with us discussing animal welfare and the importance of community support.🤝

We are grateful for the kindness and generosity of those who continue to show up for our animals. Thank you, Sister Alexander, and thank you to everyone who supports our mission. We are truly blessed. ❤️

🇲🇽 Chalupa is rooting from the shelter🏟️

🚨Due to the excessive heat and staffing coverage needs, the shelter will be closed today from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM‼️

Good luck to Mexico in today’s World Cup match! We know a lot of our residents will be cheering them on, and we’re wishing them a great game today. ⚽️

Our team will still be caring for the animals and responding to emergency animal-related calls during that time.❤️

Stay cool, stay hydrated, and enjoy the match!

🚨5 Kittens Have Arrived🚨

Our team has been working with a resident who has been caring for five kittens since their birth on March 16. Having never been outside a home environment, they have now arrived at the shelter and are beginning their journey with us.✨

These friendly, well-socialized kittens will be visiting our veterinarian for vaccinations and routine care, and are expected to be available for adoption next Wednesday. 🐱😻😽😸😺

This is Day 1 of their shelter journey. We’ll keep everyone updated as they settle in and prepare to find their forever homes.🏠 🫶

Good Morning Passaic 🌤️

Bruno enjoyed his morning trip to Armory Memorial Dog Park. We brought a rubber ball to play dodgeball, but Bruno had other plans. 😂

Bruno is 2–3 years old and has been waiting far too long for a home. He would do best with an adopter experienced with bully breeds and in a home without small children.

Come meet Bruno at the shelter. He is fully vaccinated and neutered.💙

Also, please pick up your dog’s p**p. All dogs deserve a clean playtime experience. 💩🐕🌳

UPDATE: DOG HAS BEEN RECLAIMED

🚨 STRAY DOG IN PASSAIC 🚨

Our team has secured this female Pit Bull mix after she was found wandering on Main Avenue in the Passaic Park area near Dollar Tree.

She is very sweet, a little shy, and appears as though she may have recently had a litter.

If this is your dog, or if you have any information regarding her owner, please contact our team. Proof of ownership will be required.

🚨OUR LONGEST RESIDENT🚨

Blaze a 2-3 yr old Pitbull mix is our longest resident, he is still holding on and still hoping for his chance. For more than 240 days since arriving at the shelter last October, he hasn’t fully adjusted to shelter life, but we are not giving up on him.🫶

Today we’re grateful Omar and Nathalie stopped by to give him some much-needed fresh air, enrichment, and a break from the kennel. Every outing, every walk, and every bit of attention helps remind Blaze that there’s still a world waiting for him beyond these walls. ❤️
