Luke's Story

Senior boy Luke came to PAWS in September, unable to walk or hold himself up. He had a fever, blood liver values out of whack, and arthritis on top of what xrays showed some degenerative spinal issues. With meds and supportive care, he has made extraordinary progress in his foster home. He happily walks around the block 3-4 times a day with a little swagger. <br/>He is friendly with all, eager to be part of family life, likes meeting other dogs and even seems to like cats. His special need is that he would love a place to land with few or no steps so he can go up and down unassisted — he is very determined and is a big, 70+ lb. bundle of sweetness.<br/>He is crate trained and housebroken. Loves his chew toys and even stuffies.<br/>If you love senior dogs and can give Luke a great home, please contact us info@pawsmontclair.org

Adoptable Cats: To ensure placement into a home best suited to each individual cat, the application process includes having applicants complete our Cat Pre-Adoption Application form, on which we ask for some general information, including two references and a veterinary reference, where applicable. An adoption counselor will process the application, and contact the applicant to discuss any questions or considerations either party may have. Adoptable Dogs: To ensure placement into a home best suited to each individual dog, the application process includes having applicants complete our Dog Pre-Adoption Application form, on which we ask for some general information, including two references and a veterinary reference, where applicable.

If the adoption seems to be a good fit, a brief home visit will be scheduled. If the applicant rents, a written consent must be submitted by the landlord stating that a dog such as the one being considered will be allowed residence in the building. If more than one application is received for a particular dog at any given time, the applicants will be notified, and the adoption counselors, upon processing these applications, will make a decision, in the dog’s best interest, as to the adoptive home.
