New Facebook page helps lost dogs and cats

There’s a new page on Facebook that provides a great service to distraught pet owners. Lost Found Dogs And Cats Of Northern NJ. Founded on May 4, the page admin states the page was started

 to get our local dogs and cats who have been lost or found a better chance to find their way home.

There are already 109 likes for the page, which features pictures and descriptions of lost dogs (and one cat so far) with contact information. There’s also a link to a Petfinder.com article that explains what to do if your pet gets lost.

 

 

Dog of the Day

Today’s Dog is Bonnie!

You can often find Bonnie, a two-year old hound mix, in the park weekday mornings with mom Michelle.

Like so many dogs who come to the park, Bonnie is a rescue. “We rescued Bonnie through The Last Resort Animal Rescue in West Milford,” her mom explains. ” She was found on the streets somewhere in Georgia with her two sisters. After being in a shelter down there for a while they were shipped up here to The Last Resort. We got her December 29, 2010.”  It was a great way to start the new year.

Bonnie’s soulful brown eyes, adorable floppy ears, and enthusiastic bark are clues to her hunting dog heritage.  “We believe she is part Redbone Coonhound and part Beagle, but no one knows for sure,” says Michelle. Whatever her mix, Bonnie obviously enjoys her time at the park, running and romping with friends Lucky and Rufus.

Michelle adds that Bonnie is an ideal family dog, great with her young kids as well as a loyal companion to her and her husband.
