'Furry Friday' means it's time to adopt a four-legged best friend

Today is something I'd like to call "Furry Friday." I think the beginning of the weekend is a good time to post some pets for adoption in the Morris County area. What better way to spend some family time than by looking for a new member to add to the clan? Here are a few homeless pets that are looking for forever homes:

Tracey is a 6-year-old, purebred Jack Russell Terrier. All shots and fixed. Adoption fee is  $100.

I used to live in a nice warm house, spend time on my owners lap, but then something changed. Then I had a thick chain around my neck, sleeping on a very cold cement floor in the garage. It got so cold out there. I was fed daily, but that's about it. Then someone heard me crying and came to see me. I clung to their arm, begging them to take me, which they did.  

Now I am in a nice warm home, with a soft, thick blanket. Even though I'm missing part of my ear to frost bite, I don't mind. Things have changed for me now. I know what love is again and how I missed that. This is my foster home for now, and I am looking for a forever home. Do you have a warm lap for me? If you do, e-mail lilfurryanimals@yahoo.com.

Lucky is a 4-year-old chihuahua. All shots and fixed. Adoption fee is  $150.

Lucky's foster mom has this to say about him: "This dog loves cats! Two of mine that do not like dogs LOVE Lucky. They sit by him and watch him. Its' so cute. I think Lucky will do good in most any home. He loves kids, other animals and people in general. I haven't seen a well-rounded chihuahua like him in a long time. He likes to sit downstairs when we are watching TV and just watch the ducks in their winter home. This is a great opportunity for someone that wants a small dog without the "Napolian complex". This is rare dog!!

E-mail lilfurryanimals@yahoo.com for an application.

For more information about either Tracey or Lucky, contact Cassie at One Step Closer Animal Rescue (OSCAR) at 973-652-3969.

Jean is a beautiful Labrador Retriever mix pup. She's about 13 to 14 weeks old and is cute as a button. Jean is friendly and full of energy. She enjoys playing with children and other dogs. Jean loves tummy rubs and likes to snuggle. Jean and her siblings were rescued from a North Carolina shelter and now is in a foster home. Jean's easy personality will fit any lifestyle. Anyone interested in giving her a forever home, should e-mail FureverHomeRescue@att.net and request an adoption application.

My name is Taco. I'm a lovable, friendly pointer/hound mix puppy. I'm approximately 10 to 11 months old. I am an easy-going girl who loves everyone. I enjoy playing with children and other dogs. I'm an active pup and I would love a forever home with a yard so I can run around and play. I'd like a family who would take me on walks. I'm a quick learner and I like to please. I was found roaming the streets of a rural North Carolina town and was taken to an animal shelter. If Furever Home Dog Rescue in Randolph didn't come to get me, I would have been euthanized. I'm now staying with a nice foster family. I am up to date on vaccinations, I'm spayed and I'm 95 percent housebroken. If you'd like to give me a forever home, e-mail FureverHomeRescue@att.net and request an application.
