DOG OF THE WEEK – Help Skylar find her Forever Home

Skylar is a 6-month old female Hound and Feist mix. She is up-to-date with her vaccinations, spayed, and micro-chipped. Skylar and her siblings were found abandoned on the side of the road so we don't know what happened to her before she was rescued. She is shy at first and needs time to warm up to new people.

Skylar enjoys playing with other dogs and would do best in a home with another dog to show her the rules and to be her buddy.  She walks well on a leash and enjoys playing with her toys and chewing on frozen peanut butter filled Kongs. Skylar sleeps well in her crate overnight and enjoys cuddling on the couch with people.

For more information on Skylar or any of the other dogs available through Home for Good Dog Rescue visit the Home for Good website (www.homeforgooddogs.org), call (908) 598-8212 or email info@hfgdr.org. If you are considering adopting Skylar or one of the other Home for Good dogs, please complete an online application.  A pre-approved application is required for all “meet and greets” and adoptions.

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 an office 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.
