We do not adopt first come; we always select the best placement for our animals. Please call your veterinarian to permit them to speak with us for our vet check. If you rent, bring proof (lease/contract) that you are allowed to have a dog. If you have a dog at home, a meet-and-greet will be scheduled for the second visit. We offer a free session with our trainer, Canine Cooperative, once an adoption is finalized.<br/> <br/>Our adoption fee is $150 for dogs. This includes heartworm and Lyme testing, flea/tick preventatives, deworming, age-appropriate vaccines, and spay/neuter if six months or older. If they are too young, we require a $50 deposit that will be refunded upon proof that the pet has been altered.<br/><br/>For more info on our shelter and available pets, check us out online: <br/> - www.westmilfordanimalshelter.org<br/> - www.facebook.com/westmilford.animalshelter<br/><br/>West Milford Animal Shelter Society<br/>Lycosky Drive, West Milford, NJ 07480 <br/>(973) 728-2859<br/><br/>Visiting Hours<br/>Mon - Fri: 10a - 1p<br/>Wed Night: 7:30p - 9p<br/>Weekends: 10a - 3p

Scrappy is sweet in all caps. HE. IS. SO. LOVING.
He’s playful, goofy, affectionate, and has one of those personalities that makes people instantly smile. Visitors fall for him all the time — but many already have dogs at home.

Scrappy needs:
✔️ To be your only pet
✔️ A home with kids 12+
✔️ Continued guidance and training

He doesn’t seem to know what to do with other dogs — he likely didn’t get much early socialization. With structure and training, there may be room for growth, but for now he’s happiest being your one and only.
