🐾🌸Summer has ended, and Fall has begun‼ But this lovable girl, TILLY (60782238), is ready to show you that Seniors can still have FUN in the sun‼ This spunky, pint-sized 10-year-old Boston/Bulldog Mix found her way into our facility as a "STRAY," and was never reclaimed by her owner. She may have arrived in rough shape with her skin irritated, nails overgrown, & a slightly incomplete smile, but Tilly has remained in great spirits as we put her on the road to improvement. Though we have no background history for her, we have quickly learned just how AWESOME Miss Tilly truly is! Here's what we've learned about her:
🐾🌸🌼Laidback UNTIL a ball is in the room! 😆
🐾🌸🌼LOOOVESS to play with tennis balls & squeaky toys!
🐾🌸🌼Appears to be housebroken
🐾🌸🌼LOVES belly rubs + scratches
🐾🌸🌼Pulls some on leash when excited
🐾🌸🌼Enjoys the outdoors + exploring
🐾🌸🌼Likes to share treats with her favorite humans
🐾🌸🌼Good with the KIDDOS, but smaller children must respect the fact that she is a senior girl
🐾🌸🌼Appears to be DOG FRIENDLY, as she does enjoy her fellow furry residents

🐾💉🩺Hello, Family, Friends, & Supporters! Just a friendly reminder that our September 30th clinic was CANCELLED and moved to SEPTEMBER 16TH. We will be hosting our next Free Rabies Clinic for our BURLINGTON COUNTY RESIDENTS on WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 28TH from 3PM ~ 3:45PM at the Emergency Services Building‼️
⚠️PLEASE NOTE: There is a TIME CHANGE as we realize that our clinics were running much longer than scheduled. Our lines will be closing at 3:45 to ensure we have concluded our clinic at 4PM ‼
⚠️We ask that you arrive NO EARLIER than 2:50PM, as we will not begin receiving the community until 3PM.
🧾📃If you have proof of the prior vaccination, please bring that documentation with you so that you may qualify for a 3-YEAR vaccination instead of a 1-Year💉‼️
If you have a challenging pet, we ask that you let us know ahead of schedule, BEFORE you arrive, and remain in your vehicle until we call you inside.
⚠️Please make sure you have all pets secured & contained on a leash &/or in carriers (1 PET PER CARRIER)!! We ask that you DO NOT bring your animal on a retractable leash & maintain your distance from your neighbor! 🙂 ~ Thank You! 🐾💉🩺

Planning your kids Halloween costume? Help them stay visible and comfortable while trick-or-treating!

- Add reflective tape or stickers to costumes and bags, and choose light-colored clothing when possible.
- Choose face paint or makeup instead of masks that can block vision.
- Carry glow sticks or flashlights to see and be seen by drivers.
- Make sure costumes fit properly to prevent trips and falls.

Have a safe and happy Halloween! 🍬

🐾🍁🍂Here's a Senior Pup who's sure to light up your day‼ Have you met the oh-so-sweet BUBBIE (61304012)❓This handsome, senior 10-year-old Pittie mix is sure to melt your heart & keep you warm during this chilly fall. Bubbie came FALL-ing into our lap as a STRAY & was never reclaimed. Though we have no background for this spunky party animal, we have come to learn a lot about the Bubs. Here's what we've come to adore about BUBBIE:
🐾🍁🍂VERY Sweet + loves attention + petting
🐾🍁🍂Spunky + active even for a senior
🐾🍁🍂Knows some basic commands like sit + stay + wait
🐾🍁🍂Enjoys playing with toys + exploring during his walks
🐾🍁🍂Easy on the leash + corrects easily
🐾🍁🍂Appears housebroken
🐾🍁🍂Appears to be good with children ☺️☺️
🐾🍁🍂Unsure of how he will be with other DOGGOS, but as always, a MEET + GREET with the family + resident dogs is REQUIRED ‼
