Jersey City: If you are in the market for a pet, or even just love being around them, don’t miss your chance to meet adoptable dogs and cats this Thursday, April 27th.
From 4-7pm, Bideawee‘s Mobile Adoption Van will be parked outside the Grove Street PATH Plaza — with the help of partnerFurnished Quarters — to introduce you to cats and dogs of all ages looking for a home.
All animals are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, behaviorally-tested and ready to become the newest addition to your family. Bideawee’s experts are more than willing to help you “match” with a pet that will fit your lifestyle.
TheASPCA Behavioral Rehabilitation Centerin Madison, NJ, is the first-ever facility dedicated strictly to providing behavioral rehabilitation to canine victims of cruelty who suffer from severe fear and anxiety.
Once admitted, dogs undergo an intensive rehabilitation regimen with the goal of improving their well-being and helping them become suitable for adoption.A dedicated team of animal behavior experts work daily with these dogs until they are ready for adoption.
“Graduates” are transferred to partner shelters for placement. The Center’s findings will be the basis of a research study that will be shared with shelters and rescue groups across the country.
Below are a few outstanding dogs who graduated the rehab program and are currently available for adoption at the following animal shelters.

My last concert day here was a blast.
In the cemetery’s words: “Every month we need to raise between $2000 to $3000 just to operate and purchase equipment & supplies. If 300 people would donate only $10 each, we would be all set for the month!” Please help our amazing restoration work by contributing today athttp://www.jerseycitycemetery.org.
