Dogs for Adoption. Northern New Jersey Area.

Right now, we are looking for the forever homes for all our dogs and cats at the Bloomingdale Animal Shelter Society . Here are three dogs who sadly have been waiting for a while for their human companions. They have been lovingly cared for by our volunteers at the shelter, but they truly deserve to find a permanent home with a loving family. We do not euthanize dogs or cats to make room, and so they are safe. We, however, would like to see them go for obvious reasons. The shelter is not the right home for them. Chase is a larger than average dog, energetic, and playful. We're surprised that he has not been picked yet. He'll make a wonderful companion.

Bailey is focused and interested in many things. She loves her walks and is friendly. She's part Doberman and her colors show it. Carmen, a sweet girl who appreciates companionship, very responsive to humans, personable and nice. I find that there is a certain dignity in her. You should come and meet her.

We are located at Exit 53 of I-287 South. The shelter serves as the animal control center of four towns although we don't receive financial support from them. The shelter's phone number is (973) 838-2220.

UPDATE: Carmen adopted April 5, 2008 !!! UPDATE: Chase Adopted May 11, 2008 !!!

Philippines. Reporting Animal Cruelty. Emergency Numbers. RA 8485.

Because I belong to an group of animal welfare advocates in the Philippines, I can read the numerous discussions between group members and people who, seems to me, just signed up to make an urgent plea for help. There were two this week who begged for assistance concerning two dogs who were tied up under rain and sun with no food nor water. One was described to be on the verge of a heat stroke. The images that filled my mind disturbed me immensely, but I am also encouraged at the same time. There is a growing number of animal welfare advocates in the Philippines and ordinary citizens are beginning to reject animal cruelty, willing to take personal action against it. Just from this website, I can see from the visitor data that many are seeking information on how to report animal cruelty in the Philippines. You can find my previous post on the subject HERE . Keep in mind that your complaint has legal standing via the Philippine Animal Welfare Act which is also known as the RA 8485 ....

Three Members of the Philippine Shooting Team and the Killing of Protected Philippine Wildlife

When a member of the animal or plant kingdom goes extinct, there will be no second chances. Evolution will simply not repeat itself. There are reportedly eighty bird species that are unique to the Philippines and many of them have already made it to the endangered list. And we, to a great extent, have indiscrimate hunting to thank for it. In spite of two national laws protecting Philippine animals, the carnage continues unabated. The killings could occur as arbitrarily as guys getting together for macho time, or as a result of a well-planned hunting trip involving speed boats, bird callers, and camouflaged outfits. Either way, the outcome is the same. Philippine wildlife, our natural treasures, inches closer to a state of irreparable vacancy. Not too long ago, we learned about the Bacolod Air Rifle Club (BARC) whose unbridled killing of Philippine birds and ducks became the subject of an online petition calling for immediate government intervention. My post on that most disturbing c...

Pitbull Saves Family from Cobra, Killed in Action

Take a good look. Doesn't he seem like the vicious pitbull we have been warned about? Temperamental and treacherous? He'll attack family members, even children. Well, actually, he was far from it. I said that in the past tense because Chief is no longer with us on this Earth. Two human beings are alive today because Chief gave his life for them. How many people do you know who are willing to make that last full measure of devotion? He saved an 87-year-old Liberata la Victoria and her granddaughter Maria Victoria Fronteras from a cobra that slithered through an opening in the family’s kitchen. The confrontation left two dead, but let two others live out their lives. This was in Cagayan de Oro City (Philippines) in February, 2007. Chief's story is one that hardcore anti- pitbull people would have trouble understanding and accepting. But, here it is whether they like it or not. Those who are plain ignorant about the breed might free themselves from this prison by giving...
