DOG OF THE WEEK – Help Jeremy find his Forever Home

Male Labrador retriever/hound mix needs a home, will it be yours?

Jeremy is a 1 year old Labrador retriever/hound mix. He is about 50 pounds.  Jeremy knows the commands sit and fetch.  He is extremely smart and loves to play.  Jeremy loves kids and all other dogs.  He is up to date with his vaccinations, neutered and micro-chipped.

According to Jeremy's foster dad Jeremy is a ball of fun. He has a lot of energy and wants to play, is great with children and knows his sit, down and fetch commands. Jeremy loves being with people and other dogs. Jeremy needs a little time to warm up to men but is submissive, listens well to commands, and is eager to learn. Jeremy is a wonderful dog and would be an ideal fit for a family or a house with other dogs. He would also be a great companion for anybody who enjoys jogging. Jeremy is house broken and crate trained and walks well on the leash.

About Home for Good Dog Rescue:

Home for Good is a volunteer-based, 501(c) (3) non-profit animal rescue. We are a 100 percent foster based organization with offices in Berkeley Heights, New Jersey. Our organization is dedicated to rescuing dogs from deplorable conditions in kill shelters, tending to their physical needs and finding them a new loving home where they can thrive.

At Home for Good, we seek the best treatment for our animals. We provide medical care, training, support and hope. Our dogs are vaccinated and ID micro-chipped. We rescue puppies and dogs that are facing euthanasia. Some require surgery from a specialist to repair broken limbs, while others may need additional rehabilitation time and specific medical care for respiratory illnesses, skin infections, heartworm treatments, and emergency surgeries. Through our adoption services, these loving animals are given a chance at a happy and fulfilled life.
