DOG OF THE WEEK - Help Brock Find His Forever Home

This 5-month-old Labrador retriever mix needs a home. Will it be yours?

Brock is a beautiful brindle colored 5-month-old Labrador retriever mix with sparkling eyes. He was scheduled to be euthanized in a South Carolina shelter, but Home For Good arranged to pull him out of the animal shelter and transported him to New Jersey for local adoption. Brock is up-to-date with his vaccinations and is micro-chipped.

Brock is currently in New Jersey, staying with a local HFG foster while waiting for his forever home. His foster mom says, "Brock is a really sweet boy. He walks well on a leash and sleeps the night in his crate. Brock is crate trained and he is doing great with house breaking. He has such sweet green eyes and is so affectionate. He loves to cuddle up in my lap and give me kisses and hugs. He gets along with all other dogs we've encountered."

For more information on Brock or any of the other dogs available through Home for Good Dog Rescue, please visit the Home for Good web site, call (908) 598-8212 or email contacthfg@gmail.com.

If you are considering adopting Brock or one of the other Home for Good dogs, please complete an online application at www.homeforgooddogs.org. A pre-approved application is required for all “meet and greets” and adoptions.

Lagnaf, it seems you agree with me and the crazed stories are a stretch. I concur it is what it is.Read More I grew up in Nj and did not experience this but neither did most people my age. I trust my kids to make the right choices for themselves and stand firm that at age 18 it is now their life. I also think the writer of the original article has much younger kids and is naive Only time will tell. Wish all the kids a happy and safe prom weekend and college experience. Good luck to your son after graduation

Ruth, I don't think there is anything to revisit. If people don't want their kids to go say no orRead More don't pay. Why punish everyone This is not a school event, so there is nothing you can do except say no to your child.

Yes, most kids are 18, yes most kids don't go "over the top" crazy. But just because oneRead More raises their kid with good morals, dignity and to do the right thing, does not insure they will act in this light during a weekend like this. Most kids will come out of this weekend unscathed, reputation in tact with good memories for a life time. But there is that 10% (maybe more, maybe less, I don't care if it's even one kid) that do go over the top and come home changed. I know of a "goody two shoes" who has come home and is now the topic of the school's conversations; where the talk used to be about all of the awards and accomplishments, now it's about this one wasted weekend. This was a kid raised with good morals and dignity - made a few bad decisions in a row on one crazed night and is now disgraced. One kid, one story. Did you read about the Clark kids? (Sorry Clark, I know this could have been ANY town, not just yours.) That's 7 kids, 7 stories. And I'm sure there are many more stories that don't reach the press or parents ears. Yes, parents can say no, but my heart isn't breaking for my kids right now or any house or hotel condition. It's breaking for the kids (be it one or twenty) whose parents said yes and they have come home changed. I am happy for you that you're children came back OK.This is my opinion, and I don't believe I am naive because my kid hasn't gone to prom yet, I don't have the answers, I just hope that somehow in the future these kids can be protected better.
