Adopt Shelly Today

Pit Bull Terrier - Boxer

Spayed/Neutered Vaccinated Microchipped

Young Female

I have spent more than half of my life here at the shelter, just take a moment to think about that. Now you may be wondering why such a gorgeous, stunning, irresistable gal like me could possibly still be available. Well it simply comes down to the fact I have been through a lot of hard times in my four years and eight months of age. You see, in the beginning, I was adopted as a very cute and adorable young puppy. I lived with a sweet young family who had another dog for me to play with. All was well until I was about two and a half years old, another female dog arrived into the home. I absolutely could not share my space with an unfamiliar dog. This is because I grew to be very protective of my home, I picked up many guard-dog habits from the older dog in the house. This behavior was no longer acceptable, so I was brought to the shelter. I was so lonlely, so scard, I thought I could never trust people again. It was weeks before I could allow another human to interact with me, I would just shy away into the corner and flinch for fear of my life. I was not used to being around so many unfamiliar sights, scents, and sounds. The shelter can be a scary place for an anxious pup like me, but throughout my time here at Father John's Animal House, I have finally learned to trust again. I am so happy to throw myself into the arms of those who are worthy of my love! My family here at FJAH says I will need a calm and relaxed owner, without any other pets. For once in my life, I deserve to steal the spotlight! I am very frightened of small young children, as they can be noisy and disrespectful of my much needed personal space. I am great with teenagers, as they are the coolest, just like me. I am oh so very loyal and affectionate once you give me the chance! My only hope is to have a loving home for the rest of my life, my only wish is it happens before my fifth birthday. Since we are on the topic of birthdays, mine is 10/10/2017, the best gift I could ever recieve is a roof over my head and unconditional love! If you are interested in a ride or die loyal, friend for the long haul, please call 973-300-5909 to start your process to a life changing endeavor. Submit your online questionaire at fatherjohns.org, and come see me today!

My name is Cash and it is so nice to meet you! I came to Father John's to find my new forever home. I was adopted as a younger puppy but unfortunately my owner was no longer able to care for me.

Rottweiler

Spayed/Neutered Vaccinated Microchipped

It really doesn't take long and suddenly she is jumping up to give you kisses and wanting to play with you! Ana also loves to meet new dogs but is not good with cats and may need some time to get to know smaller dogs.

Adopt Smitten Today

Domestic Short Hair

Spayed/Neutered Vaccinated Microchipped

Senior Female Good with Cats

Smitten is a 9 year old spectacular senior who is missing her previous home! She lived with a veteran who unfortunately had to go into hospice, which is how she found her way to us. This girl deeply misses being in a home! She is curious about the people here at the shelter, and will come up to say hi to you - but that doesn't always mean she wants to be pet! Sometimes she enjoys it, but sometimes she will give a hiss when you pet her, so she needs an adopter who will read her body language and who will understand that this older lady doesn't always want cuddles. Because of this, Smitten would do best in a home without children - teenagers 13 and over would be best. She does get along with other cats and previously lived with several, as well as a dog! As long as she can have her own space, Smitten will be happy. Smitten will certainly need an understanding adopter, but this is one of the most rewarding relationships you can have. Although she's older and a little quirky, Smitten still deserves love after all she has been through, and while she's relatively low maintenance, she will make your life so much richer! Fill out an adoption questionnaire at www.fatherjohns.org/adopt and come meet her!

Adopt Pocus Today

Domestic Short Hair

Spayed/Neutered Vaccinated Microchipped

Adult Female Good with Cats

Pocus is a shy little girl who is secretly so sweet, and loves attention! Pocus is about 3 years old and came to us from a home with too many cats. Because of this, she can be a little intimidated at first, and comes off as a shy girl. However, once she becomes comfortable in her surroundings, she loves to be pet and get attention, and will rub against you! She's one of those cats who often likes to be under something, whether it's a blanket or bed, but she will always come out for pets or food! She gets along with other cats, and Pocus also previously lived with small dogs. We think any calm home would be great for this sweet girl! To meet Pocus, start by filling out a brief adoption questionnaire at www.fatherjohns.org/adopt

Adopt Leo Today

Domestic Short Hair - Tabby

Spayed/Neutered Vaccinated Microchipped

Adult Male Good with Cats

Leo is our handsome lion! He's only about 3 years old and looking for love in a forever home! Leo came to us because his previous owner had to move, and surrendering him to us was her last option. He is used to an adult household, but was very close to the adult children in the home. He is afraid of loud noises, so we think a home without very young children would be best. Similarly, a home without dogs would be best for him, but he gets along well with his cat friends! He can be a little shy when meeting new people or when he hears a loud noise, but otherwise, Leo is a lovebug! He is also so handsome with his big cheeks!

Spayed/Neutered Vaccinated Microchipped

Adult Male Good with Children

Sokka is the sweetest 5 year old cat you'll ever meet! Sokka was brought into a local vet's office after a good samaratin found him after being hit by a car. We believe this is how he lost his leg and possibly became deaf or hard of hearing. At the time, one of the vet techs took him in, but quickly discovered that he did not get along with her other cats or dogs. She therefore made the incredibly difficult decision to give him a better life by surrendering him to our shelter. This handsome boy absolutely loves people! He can't get enough pets, and is always looking to be by your side. If you're looking for the purrrfect single cat, you have to come meet Sokka - just fill out an adoption questionnaire at www.fatherjohns.org/adopt

Domestic Short Hair

Spayed/Neutered Vaccinated Microchipped

Adult Female

Colette is a sweet 6 1/2 year old cat who came to us when her elderly owner had to go into a long term care facility, and the family could find no other placement. She is used to being the only pet in the home, and a calm home at that. She sometimes does alright with the other cats here, but would prefer to continue being the only pet in the home. Colette is also used to just being around adults and seniors. She can be a little particular, so a home with young children may not be the best fit for her. Aside from a sometimes quirky personality, Colette is an awesome cat! All she needs is a calm, quiet home. She loves to talk and always makes us smile! Oh, and she loooooves her cat treats! Colette's previous owner says that she is a "one person cat" - so she will become incredibly bonded to you, to the point where she will sleep with you in bed, but may be sassy to other people. If you have a home for Colette, come meet her! Fill out an adoption questionnaire at www.fatherjohns.org/adopt
