Make Your House A Home – Adopt A Pet
Getting a pet when you move into your new home is almost a ritual for many families in Bergen County. It’s not unusual for me to learn that one of my customers has added a new dog or cat or other pet to their family once everything is unpacked. Those of us who grew up with pets can remember how excited we were when our parents let us bring home our new pet. It was so much fun and it taught us to be responsible – after all, a pet needs to be taken care of but oh what love they give us in return!
Bergen County has several opportunities for pet adoption. Unfortunately, there are so many pets available these days waiting to be adopted. Why not make your house a home by adopting a pet?
There are two animal shelters – the Bergen County Animal Shelter in Teterboro and the Ramapo Bergen Animal Refuge in Oakland. We also have some wonderful organizations where I have met many teriffic volunteers during my time in Bergen County real estate sales.
There’s PetResQwhich is an all volunteer group based in Tenafly and having it’s first ever annual “Fur Ball” dinner dance at the Clinton Inn in Tenafly on March 27th. We also have the Bergen County Humane Society based in Lyndhurst but serving the entire county. Another great group is the New Jersey Boxer Rescue which is extremely active in Bergen County although they cover the entire state. I’ve had personal experience with the New Jersey Boxer Rescue folks and I can’t say enough good things about them.
If you’re ready for a new member of the family, you can certainly find one in Bergen County. Adopt a pet from an animal shelter or one of these organizations and you’ll rescue an animal that will love you for years to come.
