Q: Cali, to begin, tell us a little about yourself
A: I'm ~5 years old now. They call me a pit mix, but we're not really sure of my breed. You see, I've been in and out of the shelter system for a few years now. But wait, I can explain! I kept coming back through no fault of my own. Most recently, my family was evicted from our home and couldn't afford to care for me any longer. Now I'm here looking for an awesome forever family
Q: So you need a new home. Can you describe your ideal family?
A: Oh sure! I've been thinking about this a lot. I'd like to be the only pet, kids 9+ (the rescue prefers adults to be with older children, for everyone's safety and all that, you know). I think I'd like someone who is active: I really enjoy hiking, swimming, even jogging if you want! Maybe a family that will get me some squeaky toys and Kongs to play with? Oh and a fluffy bed, that'd be a dream come true. But I'm flexible: I also enjoy just lounging on the couch & cuddling under the covers.
Q: You'd like to be the only pet. Why is that?
A: I like my people. I mean, I LOVE ALL people sooo much!! I'd prefer a family that can spoil me and play with me and cuddle with me. Once I get a forever mom and/or dad, the thought of sharing them? Nahhh. I want a family that can be all mine!
Q: So you're ready to go home. Spayed, microchipped, vaccinated. What can an interested family do to inquire about adopting you?
A: Easy! They can fill out the adoption application online: http://www.animalalliancenj.org/adoption/adoption_application.html. Remember, my name is Cali! You'll need that for the application. Afterwards, adoption staff will reach out to potential adopters once their application has been reviewed.
