JACKSON, NJ — The Northern Ocean County Animal Facility is seeking urgent help from approved 501(c)(3) rescue organizations for three dogs currently on its “rescue only” list.
The facility reported that Raven, its longest-standing “rescue only” dog, has now been joined by two additional canines in need: Daisy, a 2-year-old Labrador mix, and Biggie, a 6-year-old Chinese Shar Pei.
Daisy had previously been adopted after passing behavioral assessments but was returned to the shelter. The dog has either a deformity or injury to her lower jaw and is recommended as the only dog in a household, though she has lived with older children and cats.
Biggie, a calm older dog, also passed his assessments and is in need of placement with someone familiar with the Shar Pei breed.
The shelter urged approved rescue organizations to contact them at kathleenfrett1@gmail.com for assistance with these cases.
Three dogs — Raven, Daisy and Biggie — remain on the “rescue only” list, awaiting placement.
