Shaka, Labrador Retriever For Adoption In Summit, New Jersey

Location:

Summit, NJ

Description:

Introducing Shaka! This handsome boy is a 44-pound 1-year-old black Labrador Retriever mix with stunning golden eyes. Shaka was rescued along with his sister Sheba, in Aiken, South Carolina. They were found near a busy highway after spending quite some time as strays. Because of his rough start to life, Shaka may be shy for the first moment of meeting new people, however he is very quick to warm up and show how full of love he is. Shaka is a very sweet and affectionate boy. Treats and pets are the not-so-secret way to his heart! He also loves ear scratches and belly rubs. Shaka also loves kids, but he would prefer a home with no cats. He's working diligently on his leash and house training skills and improves every day with his foster mom. This playful boy would love his very own fenced-in yard for zoomies and romping around! Shaka really wants to show off his smile but hasn’t quite yet. He told his foster mom that he is saving that for his forever family and he is excited to show it off! Apply on our site today to begin your adoption application for Shaka! Shaka is neutered, up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations, and microchipped. **Please note: completing an "adoption inquiry" via Adopt-a-pet/Petfinder does not constitute an HFG Dog Rescue adoption application. All adoption applications must be completed on www.hfgdr.org** HFG Dog Rescue is a 100 percent foster-based rescue located in Berkeley Heights, NJ with a sister location, The Almost Home Wellness Center, in Aiken, SC. All of our dogs are rescued from kill shelters in SC + GA and once ready for adoption live in loving local NJ foster homes until they find forever families of their own. Our fosters begin basic training, housebreaking, and leash-walking skills to help pair you with the perfect pup for life! In order to apply for adoption and set up an individual meet and greet with one of our dogs, please visit us at www.hfgdr.org. Find us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/HomeForGoodDogRescue.Adoption processAre you interested in adopting one of our rescued puppies or dogs? Great! At Home for Good Dog Rescue, we strive to find you a perfect canine match. In order to do so, we need to learn a little bit about you and your lifestyle. We don’t mean to pry or be nosey, but we must ensure that our rescues are being placed in the best possible home or situation. The following is important information regarding our adoption process, policies, and procedures. Please read each point over thoroughly before submitting your application. 1. All potential adopters must fill out an online adoption application. We have volunteers who work from home to process your application. Please be patient. The application process typically takes 2-5 days. Please fill out the application completely and honestly in order to ensure that your application will be completed in a timely manner. 2. Our volunteers will be contacting all of your references, including your Veterinarian (if applicable) and landlord (if applicable), so please notify them prior to submitting your application to speed up the process. Be sure to check your email, including Spam folder, for a response from Home for Good. All communications regarding your application must go through email. 3. Any pets currently in your household must be up to date with vaccines, including Rabies, and be seen for annual wellness visits. We DO NOT adopt dogs out to homes with un-altered animals. 4. All dogs placed by HFGD are to be house dogs. NO dog will be placed in a home where they will be outside-only dogs or farm dogs. HFGD reserves the right to schedule a home visit to ensure the safety of our rescues. 5. Approved applications are valid for 6 months. After 6 months, you must re-submit an application. This applies to previous adopters as well. 6. Please keep in mind that HFGD may have already received applications on the dog you are interested in. For this reason, the dog you are interested in may not be available once your application is finished being processed. 7. Upon approval and acceptance, you may schedule a Meet and Greet via email only with the dog of your choice, subject to availability. Meet and Greets will be scheduled in the order they are requested. If the dog you applied for is no longer available or is not the right match for your home, HFGD will work with you to find another dog that will be a great fit for you and your family. 8. Please be advised that your entire household, including any canines or caregivers, must be present for the Meet and Greet. HFGD does not allow adoptions as gifts or surprises. The entire household must meet the dog and be in agreement to bringing the dog into the home. NO EXCEPTIONS. 9. Approved Applications do not guarantee adoption. A meet and greet is the final step in the placement of our dogs. HFGD wants to ensure that it is the right fit for all humans and canines involved.Shelter locationPlease take a look at our upcoming adoption events where you can meet our loving adoptable dogs!
