We joyfully welcomed Barkley into rescue from a local NJ shelter as a baby with his Mom and siblings back in January. He was born at the shelter on 11/26/24. He was in a foster home with his Mom and siblings until 10 weeks old. He was adopted and returned, due to no fault of his own. His family just didn't realize the time and dedication in raising a puppy on top of the fact that they had very busy work schedules. So, the decision was made to return him to rescue so he could find a family who meets his needs better. Barkley is dog, Cat and kid friendly. He was raised with young children. Cats and dogs (male and female)

Good with Dogs, Good with Cats, Good with Kids, Cratetrained, Likes to play with toys, Playful, Affectionate, Goofy

All animals adopted from us will be spayed or neutered, dewormed for parasites, current with vaccines for their age and microchipped. Dogs will have tested negative for heartworms and given monthly heartworm, flea & tick prevention. Cats will have tested negative for FELV OR FIV and given Revolution monthly

 

The general adoption process is as follows:

Once we receive your application, the TLC Animal Rescue Board of Directors will review it to see if the animal you are interested in may be compatible with your family.
Once your application has been screened, we will arrange a meet and greet with you and your family members (including pets) and the animal you are interested in.
During this time, one of our adoption coordinators will be contacting your references and your veterinarian to verify if your pets are spayed/neutered and up to date on vaccines.  If the meet and greet was successful, and any other potential adopters have been ruled out, we will schedule a home check and move ahead with the adoption.

We look forward to receiving your application.
